A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION.

AT court held in county in New
Jersey ssme time since, person was pro
secuted foI an assault and battery upon
young man who was disturbing religious
meeting. In the course OF The trial, ii ap-
peared that at the time the alleged disturb
ance took place, the defendant laid hold Of
the young man, and shook him pretty
roughly, which was the assault, complained
oi. The. lawyer who was concerned in the
case seemed very anxious TO know the ex-
tent and severity, and manner Of this same
shaking. and interrogated the witness as to
this matter, a long time.
One of the, witnesses, stout. athletic
man, was asked, How did he shake him,
DID he shake him hard!' How hard did he
shake him!'and not having satisfied Mr.. II.
one of the counsel, as to the extent, &c
Mr.. H. again pressed the matter by saying
Well, now, can't you tell how he shook
him, and in what way he dd!' The wit
ness thereupon laid hold of the lawyer by
the collar 'suiting the action TO the
word. and word TO the action and
having given some balf dozen most ter
rible shocks, observed, very coolly, he
shook him that way sir' TO the no small
amusement of the judges, lawyers and
spectators, who were convulsed with laugh.

Tom CONNER was perfect specimen OF
the happy, careless, improvident class of
Irishmen, who think it 'time enough to bid
the devil good morrow when they meet him
and whose chef delight seems to consist in
getting in all manner of scrapes, for the
mere purpose Of displaying their ingenuity
in getting out of item again. at the
time knew him, had passed the meridian
Of his life; 'he had,' as he used to say to
himself, given up barterlng, and had,lucki-
ly small annuity fallen to him by the
demise of considerate old aunt, who had
kindly dropped offlin the nick of time
ard on this independence Tom had retired
to spend all that remained to him of mer-
rHHfe at pleasant lille sea port town in the
west of Ireland, celebrated for lis card
.-rtjes and its oyster clubs. These latter
s0o'a' = .'ings were held by rotation in

bury's best puns, and night after night'told
how, at some particular quarter sessions

Northbury uttered IN all his life. But the
soul of the club was Tom Conner-who,b!
his inexhaus,ible fund of humorous anec
dotes and droll stories, kept the table in
roar till a late hour in the night, or ralhe
to an early hour in the morning Tom
stories usually related to adventures whlc'
had happened TO himself in his early days
and as he had experienced innumerabl
vicissitudes of fortune, in every part OF tn
world. and under various characters, hi
narratives, though not remarkable. for thel
strict adherence to truth, were always .dl'
tipguished by their novelty
