When Geek meet Greek, then comes the tug Of war

redress in the law, Mr. j., of Broadway, gave nforma
ton to his brother in Canal street, who beng exasper-
rated, took immediate counsel of Judge Lynch, and
forthwith prepared himself with cowskn as a sum-
mons for the offender, and deputsing himself
officer TO oicate in the business lay in ambuscade
waiting an opportunity to serve the process.
Just as the MONDAY sun had reached the meridian,
and as the ladies were making Their shopping tour
through the different shops, Mr. l.. seen coming
up the street in calculating mood no doubt thinking
Of the glorious fortune he soon to realize in some
fifty thousand dollar prize; nor was he walked from
his golden dream unr he felt the smart of some
thing inflicted on him in double quick time BY the hand
of MI. j. who dealt out potion that made him sing
out in piteous lamentations for helping hand. None
being there to care for the faith of Israel" he
obliged to stand and take il like good Christian un-
Ill the anger of the house of Jacob was appeased.
The last act was soon over-the curtain dropped
and the audience dispersed each one discussing the
