The late Judge Dooly, Of Georgia, was
rsmarksbl Cor his wit ~ we'll AZ Tor other
talents.
At one place, where he attended court,
he was not over and above pleased with
his entertainment at the tavern. On the
first day ef<he court, hog, under the
name ofa psg-had been cooked whole
and laid ON the tale. Ne person attack
eda 1t was brought the next day, and
the next, and treated with the same re-
spect; and It was on the day on which the
couvt adjourned. As the party finished
their dinner, Judge Dooly rose from the
table in solemn manner aud addressed
the clerk; Mr.. Clerk" said he, p" diss-
miss that heg, on his recognisance, until
the first day Of tho next court. lie has
attended 90 faithfully during the term, that
don't think it will be necessary to take
any security"
AT another tavern at which the judge
boarded, there was much complaint among
the lawyers and other boarders, that the
vic.uals were not prepared in cleanly
manner. Judge Dooly took the landlord
TO one side, and sxid that he had some
thing to communicate to him that might be
of advantage to his house. 1t relates" !"

Gro,o;ng Storm Our readers are all
unquestionably aware that stories some
times increase with astonishing rapidly,
and that mighty growth ofthe marvellous
may,in short time, arise from an excee-
dinghy small beginning. But as all may
not be acquainted with the precise mode
of culture, which will bring them forward
with more than the rapidly Of cucumbers
in a hot-house, we hope they will feel
themselves highly Obliged to us for endea-
Yoring to enlighten them in this matter ;
and to show our disposition to serve them
in 30 important particular, we subjon the
following specimen.
" Have you heard" SAID Mrs. Wig
gins, "that Matthew McMuzzle and his
wife have fallen out!" No, have
not" said Mrs. Spriggins, laying her fin
ger beside her nose in token Of silence.
Mrs. Spriggins lost no time in calling
upon her neighbor Higgins Have you
heard, "said she, "that Matthew Nc
Muzzle and his wife have fallen out of
bed ?'' "No have not" replied Mrs.
Higgins. " Well, it's as true as I'm
here" returned Mrs. Spriggns, for | just
had it from Mrs. Virgins" And she
likewise put her finger beside her nose in
token that il was not matter for every
body to know.
Mrs. Higgins went directly to her
neighbor Higgins, and before she had fair
" recovered breath began :" Have you
heard that Matthew McMuzzle and his
wife have fallen out Of the piadorc'" "No,
is il possibls!" said Mrs Figgins. !" IT'S
as true ~ drew the b, ssth Of life," SAID
Mrs. Higgins, still painting with exsrtion,
for Mrs. Spriggins teld me two minutes
ago, that she had just heard it from MRS.
Wiggins.
Mrs. Higgins went forthwith to see her
neighbor Twiggins. She had scarcely
seated herself when she said, Have you
heard that Matthew McMuzzle and his
wife have fallen out Of the chamber acin-
dow 2" "No ! you don't say so ~ ex-
claimed Mrs. Twiggins. Yes, it's as
true as the book Of Genesis" said Mrs.
Twiggins, for l just heard il from Mrs.
Higgins, who got it not two minutes ago
from Mrs. Spriggins, who had it minute
before from Mrs. Virgins"
Mrs. Twiggins now took her turn, and
with the advantage of a GLIB tongue and
pair Of active feet, soon reported all over
town, that Matthew McJMuzzle and his
wife had both broken their mecks by falling
out of a three story ,oindow. And she gave
for her authority, her neighbor Mrs. Fig
gins, who had quoted Mrs. Higgins, who
had referred to Mrs. Spriggins, who bad
the authority Of Mrs Virgins, who was
said to have been an eye witness to the
fact.
