.4necdote of Judge Parsons.-The following
was stated to us by respectable octogenarian,
some time since, as fact to which he was know
ing; and as we have never seen it stated before,
the story may be worth telling. 1t is another il
lusration of the glorious uncertainty Of the law.
When Judge Parsons was resident in this
town, and then practising lawyer, he was once
employed to plead two cases in court which
were precisely alike, but in one he was engaged
for the defendant, in the other for plaintiff. 1t
happened that both cases were tried the same
day. He spoke for half an hour to the first Jury,
and the case was given to them and they retired.
When he appeared before the second jury he
made use Of very different arguments from those
before employed by him, of which the court took
notice, reminded him that he seemed to have
changed his tone, and repeating to him what he
had said but few minutes before.
Mr. Parsons, fixing his keen eye upon the Judge,
replied,-"May it please your honor | might
have been acrong half an hour ago, but now
knoac 4 am right" He proceeded; and when
the jurors returned it was found that he had gain
ed verdict in both cases!-Watchtower

From The Brunswick { Co., Adoocate.
MAMMOTH BONES.

In the excavation of the Brunswick and Alaia-
maha Canal, there has been discovered, about five
miles from this place, a large deposit of bones of
extraordinary size and in remarkable state OF
preservation. Several verebra, OF eight inches
i'm transverse diameter, have been discovered.
Teeth, of which the top is nine inches in the
longer diameter, and five inches IN breadth, and
about as large as mans hat, have also been ex-
cavated. These were evidently OF a molar cha
racter. There have been found, also, smaller
teeth of more solid structure, with pointed crowns,
and apparently belonging to some carnlvorous
animal Portions of large tusks have also been
excavated, of the perfect structure OF ivory.
These last were much crumbled, but to Judge by
the size Of the circles marked in the ivory. the
original diameter of the usks could not have been
less than 10 to IL inches 1t is probable that the
principal deposit of bones has scarcely been reach
ed as yet, though several cart-loads have been
excavated-all that have yet been discovered
were within six feet of the surface. They lie
mostly embedded in blue clay. Thus far they
have not been uncovered with care, and no notes
have been taken of the relative positions in which
the different species of bones have been found.
In future the excavation will proceed with the
attention due to the discovery of such curiosites.
We believe they are the first of the kind that
have been found in Georgia. Specimens will be
forwarded to scientific societies, and we wait the
result OF their expression with great interest.
In the salt marshes upon the shores of our bay
found, at the depth Of from six to Is feet, fire.
quent roots and stumps Of the cypress-a tree
which grows only in fresh marshes. May it not
be, that Alatamaha once discharged its waters at
this port, and that in the convusion of nature
which has changed its bed--removing it IL miles
to the northward--these giant animals were de-
stroyed and embedded together, having sought
for security what was then the highest point
of land!
PIANO FoRTEs.-We recently examined two
Piano Fortes at the mandatory of Dubois, Cham
bers & Bacon, which are about being shipped
from this port for Canton, per order. That New
York should supply the celestial empire with
such instruments of music, may be deemed an
event highly creditable to the improvement of
our manufactures. English pianos have not
been found to stand the climate, and the two in
struments about to be shipped, for strength and
brilliancy Of tone, as well solidity and beauty
of the woods, and general texture, may be said
to be unsurpassed.-N. 7. Evening Star.
