accordingly took legal measures TO secure the pay
ment Of reddOg currency to the amount of eighteen
dollars. Judgment being rendered against Smith, he
endeavored TO take an appeal, but being unable to
give bail, he deposited the amount of the Judgment,
and was discharged. But his troubles were not yet
at an end. The gentleman indebted to Smith, and to
effect settlement with whom he had gone TO Coshoc-
ton, having hand 700 dollars in red-dog,' pre-
sented 500 dollars and asked for credit to that amount
TO which Smith consented The other then presented
the remaining 400 dollars asking credit for that also,
which Smith refused. He was then arrested by the
sheriff. and deposited in jail qfe,' if not SOL
rent He continued in jail until Saturday night;
but wishing 10 take advantage of the Sabbath TO make
his exit he declared his willingness allow the full
amount credit upon the obligation, whereupon he
was discharged.

situated to 90 and do likewise.-0hiO Statesman.
