A STORY OF THE oLDEN TIME.

When Turkies smoked and Geese chewed tobacco. By a statute law of the State of N York, from December to April all persons were prohibited from killing Deer, under pen- alty of ten dollars. half the fine going to the complainant, and in default of payment, ten lashes upon the naked back. A Yankee, passing through the State of N. Y. near Albany, in the month of Janua- ry, observed young Dutchman, from his barn door, squinting over his shovel at a deer about thirty paces from him: solilo- quiZing thus:
 "Mine Cot-if had mine gun here and it was not for de law, would have some tecr for mine timer"
 The Yankee had a rife with him, and inn mediately shot the deer, and threw his rife into the snow, unobserved by the Datchman,. and running up to him said,
 "Ah! my good fellow, you have been killing dcer-for saw you-you shot him with your shovel"
 The Dutchman replied
 "Mine Cot, did not think mine shovel vas loaded. did not think it would go off. never knew it to go off before"
 "Well," said the Yankee, "you have kill ed the deer, and will go to the Justice and complain of you; and make you pay your fine, unless you give me the skin and two dollars"
 "Vell," said the Dutchnan, "though l didn't think my tam't old shovel would go off, dat is better dan pay ten dollars"
 So the bargain was NGlicluded; the Yan- kee receiving the skin and two dollars, left the Dutchman to take care of his venison
 While the Dutchman was taking care of the venison, and before he had pat it cut of the way, another Dutchman came up and threatened to complain, upon which Hans the shovel shooter, related all that had pas scd between him and the Yankee.
 Vanderhausen said 10 Hans that he had been imposed upon that the Yankee killed the deer himself. The two Dutchmen then agreed to pursue the Yankee, and to bring him before the Justice, and Hans entered his complaint pro bono publico. WhereupL- on the Justice, after hearing all the testimo- n.y.. pro and con- and taking the subject mat ter into cool, serious and deliberate consid- eration,. came to the conclusion that the Yankee killed the deer with certain in- called rife, and that he pay fine of ten dollars, or be whipped ten lash- es The Yankee chose the latter. The Justice then ordered the Yankee to be strip ped, tied to tree and the whip applied.-- There being no officer present, the Justice concluded to do the whipping himself, and ut it he went. After he had given the Yan- kee five lashcs and was proceeding togive him the other five, the Yankee bawIed out " Stopw
 "Vot." said the Justice, athere is five more to come"
 The Yankee informed the Justice that half (the five) went to the complainant
 Justice.-"Dat is law, by Cot; ontie the Yankee; tie up the Tutchman; give him half, the five"

Uncle Jetlery walked into the room as stately as the talest grenadier in the ser- vice of Frederick the Great, dragging af- ter him bundle of white satin and white lace and French blonde and white kid gloves and orange blossoms, and it really was astonishing to see how many dozens of yards they had managed to tie up toge,h- CT.

1t is said at Washington, that Lord

submitted by Mr.. Webster to the States
of Maine and Massachusetts,, and the ne

THE WHEAT CRoPs.-The wheat fields

in other sections Of the country:
The present spring is astonishing the
natives. Never has there been one more
precious, or one that promises to be more
productive. So soy the Oldest inhabitants.
One of the most intelligent observers in
this country has mentioned to us two cir
