Really. | don't know where he gOt the panta-
looms. but when he came in at two O'Clock he
was dressed as usual.
An then he did come in at two o'clock; but
what did he do afterwards?
lie ate his soup, and left me, saying he was
going to fight for liberty.
After that:
Since that have not set my ewes on him.
Then it was on the evening Of the goth that you
lost your son:
Precisely.
And YOU have no other information, no ccrtii-
Gates, no witnesses:
No.
But your declaration is not sufficient.
Not Sufficient, indeed. II have lost my son IN
the three immortal days OF the 9th, 2Sth and
29th Of July, and am to have no pension. They
are going to cheat me.
Be calm, good woman, you shall have justice;
but we must have some proofs, for is it not bare
" possible that your son, instead OF being Killed
for liberty might have left Paris?
Omit Paris! Not so, I'm right sure he hasn't
quit Paris, because some one met him the Siol
day utter in the Tulerics, when he told one of
our ncighbors that he did not mean to come back.
O., then he is not dead?
] didn't tell YOU he Tas dead-but lost him,
nevertheless.
The follow ing case, recently tried in one Of
the courts, may be interesting TO our readers. A
part from the trouble necessarily Occasioued by
the action, to the highly respectable gentleman
who was the defendant, we are pleased that such
Il trial should have occurred, as it shows the
promptness with which professional pecuniary
matters are conducted by the bar of Philadelphia,
and the protection afforded to them in that course
by our Courts and juries.-Journalo Of La,o.

After hearing the Case, the Judge directed the
Jury that upon the evidepce given, the law was

We take no sides, be it remembered, between
the Telegraph and the Globe, Tor the choice sp-
rits who animate the two.) For the violence
with which they fly at each other, they are alrea-
dy joculary mpared IN social converse, to
the Kilkenny cats which our friend Jarvis tells
so good story of, and if their battle should
end in the same catastrophe of eating one another
up all to the tip end of their tails, we are not
very certain that the Pubic would be any loser; /
What lesson does not the Telegraph now read
