A SprkIT OF LITIGATION REBuKED.--
Some years ago, man who had more spare
money than good sense, suffered himself to
be sued for the sum of two dollars: enraged
at what he considered the audacity of the
plaintiff, he resolved to put every engine Of
the law in force "to keep him out of his
money! and accordingly applied to gen.
tleman of the bar for his professional aid to
effect hls object. After listening to his
statement of the case, the attorney demand
ed only fee of three dollars, which the
defendant promptly paid down, highly gra-
titled with the smalness of the sum. The
attorney went to the magistrates office and
paid the debt and costs with the three dol.
lars which he had just received from his
client. They met in a few days after, when
the man inquired of the attorney whether he
had attended TO the case, and what was the
result. Yes sir, replied the lawyer, and |
have completely non suited the plaintiff,
he'll truuble you no more.--IHdepen. Rep.

LIVE AND LEARN.-The Baltimore Patriot
notices the simple mode adopted by gen.
tleman in that city 10 set forward stub.
born horse, which in passing, he observed a
carlnan beating numerically. The horse
had refused to move a step forward for
hours, albeit he backed more readily than
desired. The gentleman ordered a rope.
which he directed tied to the tail of the horse,
and passed between his legs out at the front.
He took hold II, and gave it pull. The
horse looked wild for an instant as if taken
by surprise, and at the time gave indications,
BY kicking up, that he dislked the new plan
of driving. The rope was pulled strongly,
and the horse with very quick motion
started off. The triumph was complete,
and the infection of more cruelty spared.
The plun Is the one used in driving stubborn
mules in South America.

MoRUs MULTIcAULTs. We would moi
feel surprised if morus muticaulis were to
be recommended one of these days as re-
gimen more nutritive than bran bread; OF
if tetotallers were to find out that it is
strongly impregnated with alcohol. In fact,
it would be presumptuous to predict the
uses which i. may answer, or the purposes
it may fulfil. We yesterday received a
present of cigars from Capt. William Bag
ley, Of Covington, who is morus multi
cauls man, in the most extended sense Of
the term, manufactured from the article.
Fact; real morus mulicanis cigars, witt, a
neat little curl on the end of each, like n
pigs tail in Cincinnati. We lighted one,
and puffad it then--we are not putting it
now. 1t was delightful; the smoke curled
up in slender, silken threads, and we verify
believe if there had been any one by WIN
could have thrown a shuttle quick, that he
might have woven, on the spot, Il very de.
cent article of home manufacture, in the
shape Of web of green silk. The morus
multlcaus cigars are green, and 50 is-a-

The following is copy of the law of the
last session, submitting the question of the
removal of the seat Of Justice OF said Lu-
cas] county to the voters of said county at
their next annual election.
RESOLVED, That the question of the ap-
pOntment of commissioners to review the
seat of Lucas county, be submitted TO the
electors of said county at the next annual
October election, and that the voters of said
county designate on their ballots, whether
in favor or against the appointment of com.
missioners, and that the clerk of the court
of common pleas shall certify such ballot tc
the next General Assembly, and if the ma
jorlty cf such ballots are for the removal,
then the Legislature may proceed to appoin,
commissioners for that purpose, whose du.
ty it shall be to review, and if they think il
advisable, 10 remove said scat of justice tc
such place as the interest Of the people may
require"
We publish the law for the purpose o.
suggesting the manner in which the tickets
should be worded, the Sheriff, whose duty
it undoubtedly is, not having taken any no.
tice of the subject. 1t is probably desira-
bic to follow the words of the law as nearly
as Is convenient, and as that speaks of the
appointment of commissioners" it would
be, doubtless, proper to have the tickets
read "for" or "against" such appointment.
