The first cause on the civil docket was
an action of slander-an old soldier and
an early settler-as guardian and next

uttered, published and spoken by the de

On the calling Of the cause, a persons

who announced that he was ready to pro.
coed, as counsel for the plaintiff. He was
tall athletic man, of about Thirty five
years OF age-wllh fine, manly, inlelli-
gent countenance-dressed in a hunting
shirt Of deep blue, trimmed with yellow
fringe. His face bore those indubitable
marks of genius, and those traces of study
and reflection, which cannot be mistaken

the plaintiff, and left the pretty client of
the buckskln lawyer, pure and spotless as

which though strong and lorcibe, did not
strike me as extraordinary. During all
this, the manner Of the stranger ia the

Tier on public land, but the country was
generally but sparsely populated. Il was
the spring season, and no country in the
world presents richer scenery, or more
diversified landscape, than the valley OF
that lovely river, at this period Of the year.
Along the path which pursued, one small
prairie, skirted with the finest timber, and
covered with profusion of beautiful flow
ers, succeeded; and the eye was continu-
ally refreshed with the graceful stream
and its clear waters. The richness of the
grass, the beauty of the forest, the mild
ness aud briliiancy of the spring weather,
and the enchantment Of the whole scene
induced me TO linger for a time in the
wilderness. One evening | reached the
cabin OF one Of tue most remote settlers
