Case Of Corscicncc.-Somc years ago, dis
pute between two merchants was Submitted
TO Arbitration, and eminent lawyers were en-
pIoycd on both sides. When the case came
to be submitted, it was quite plain that the
right was altogether on one side. The emf
nent character of the lawyer on the opposite
side, made the referees curious to hear what
he would say. When the reference broke up,
one Of the referees w:lked along Broadway
with the counsellor, and after talking over
some small matters, said TO him, " MIR. E.

with your speech this%atternoon, aud now |

.!he lawyer, giving the referee a rough push,
."When the client comes with large fee and
no case, what can a lawyer do!"

TLco Sea Serpents in the Chesapeake Bdy.-
Capt. Lawson, of the schr. Empire. of Snow

Courier with the following account CT the two
monsters ofthe deep seen by him at the mouth
Of The Chesapeake last week:
CAPT Lawson was al the time In charge or

thing, which he supposed to be a wreck, from
the fact that dark looking object, resembling

time seen standing erect, Immediately by the
side and above the railing. Soon, however,
lit was discovered to be a moving body, with
a head and mouth, which was plainly marked
hv reddish color along the side or about the
igws, and the captain with much alarm con-
cluded that he was really and truly, Instead OF
going over a wreck, in contact with the Old
fellow himself, the real "Sea Sarpint."
After the schooner had passed over him, i
was observed that there were two III company

L, A, W.-LAW.

Some what remarkable yet not altogether sim
gular in the history of county courts, have been
the proceedings Of this our February term for
GuiIford, After the annual county business was
despatched, the docket of civil causes occupied
the court until Thursday evening. Some four
Tor five litigated cases, which consumed nearly all
the tim. specified resulted in recoveries amount
ing in the aggregate to one dollar thirty seven and
half cents, more or less! So they say"-and
Mr.. They is as good authority we suppose, In mat
ters OF law of politics.
To give more accurate idea of the litigation of
the week, some particulars, derived from divers
gentlemen OF the legal and other professions are
annexed. Not having been i'll the courtroom our
selves, cannot VOuch for complete accuracy
but can say that all whom we heard to report
upon tha subject seemed honestly DESTROYS to de-
vciope the Grand idea of the matter.
One case, perhaps the first in order, was suit
for the entralls of fat hog; damages charged to
the amount of seventy five cents and verdict OBJ
tanned for sixty-two and half cents.
I'd. a suit about lot of corn, in which some
thing like dollar and half was involved.
\ Sd. An OK an old blind bride, and some of our
reporters say also hame-string, were In controver
sy. The plaintiff recovered verdict for seventy
five cents, which, after final process, will probably
be paid over in actual cash.
4th. A suit where both parties were admitted tt
be nsolvent. There being. therefore, no possible
ty of either party recovering or losing any thing
we did not inquire which way it went.
9Th. A suit on contract for certain rent corn
where for want of soil. or elbow-grease, or rail-
most probably d third of crop was not made! an'
consequently not recovered.
We have no room for the declarations, cxami
nation of witness, arguments Of counsel, charge
to the jury, &c. &c. on these important cases.
Some men aUiH 90 to law, in spite of good coun
sci from lawyers, friends, and every body else
But it is duty which the legal Profession owe t
their own elevated standing, and it would Away
be an act of good grace to the community. to kec
such picayune business much as possible out G

for the purpose of having cut of the cake, &c.
TIE time came to which the cards of invita-
ton called for. and Whilst came hosts of friends
of the new married couple. The crowd kept
increasing to the utter establishment of tie
wonder stricken groom who could not for
his life imagine, how or why, his friends
had hit upon the same day and hour to pay
him their congratulatoryvisits. The mystery
was at length explained and right sociable
time thew had it no doubt much to the chagrin
of the way who perpe,rated the act. 1t some
times happens that good joke does no harm
as in the present instance, but not always such
strong jokes as the above have different results.
Precoc,ous Robbery.-H;ckey, the keeper ofthe
Court House, was much surprised an evening or
two since, when his attention was called to the
dome of that building, by seeing large crowd of
persons collected on the side walks and in the
streets watching the movements of a small boy
who was busily engaged in cutting off portion
of the copper pipe which conveys the water from
the platform of the doule. The altitude must be
over one hundred feet, but there stood the little
scamp as intensely employed in hooking a pound
or two of the county's copper, as he would have
been on terra .tfrmn playing game of marble:
for keeps. The first thought that struck the vig
liant keepers mind that he left the door which
leads to the roof unlocked, and that the little fell
low had found his way up to the dome by tha
means. Ifhe was surprised at finding him there
that feeling must have changed into horror wher
the boy, discovering him below, coolly put the In
strument with which he had been at work int
his pocket, buttoned his 'cket closely around him
and prepared to do as he was bid, which was t.
come down; but not by the route the keeper. ex
pected, for he walked to where the lightning rod
crossed over from the side of the main building t
the dome and clasping it with his hands and tee
slid down it to the cornice of the main bulldln
! and from thence to the ground in safety. Thi
was most daring feat, and witnessed by hundred
of persons. TO get the copper pipe was his onl
motive for undertaking it. aud he went up by tn
same means he came down but he must hav
