son who was atanding by the lire las above stated
as the man. This was sufficient for Hays, who
entered, advanced towards the fire place, and
giving the gentleman tap on the shoulder, init

the door, with such manifest symptoms OF an In
clination to take the air, that Hays felt it to be
his duty to make corresponding movement IN

The faithful services of the Clerk of the Coun-

their engrossing nature, and amount-these
considerations ought to have increased, at least
not diminished his salary.
The attorneys bill was also passed, after a

written order from the client 10 the sheriff.
