AN EXCELLENT Story. We find the fol-
lowing story going the rounds of the press
We must copy 1t because it is we'll told-the
only thing that takes away from its genuine
ness is the very inmaterial fact that Mr. Jeni-
fer does not live on the Eastern Shore, which
it is very necessary he should do, in order to
make party TO the story; but no matter for
that, it is very good story and will be laugh
ed at by our Eastern Shore friends:
Cortpin versus Jenifer.-. During a former ses-
sion Of Congress, Messrs. Corwin, of Ohio, and
Jenifer, of Maryland, were very intimate. The
latter, like all Marylanders, believes the "East-
ern Shore" is the Paradise of the world, and he
was in the habit, as often as opportunity offer
ed, of poking fun at Corwin about the "Buck-
eye" and the State of Ohio generally. Corwin
bore this persecution patiently for awhile, usu-
ally, however, returning shot for shot; until
| one day, while dining at the Presidents, Jeni-
fer came down on him SO hard, that Corwin
determined to silence him for ever, so rising
from his seat he remarked that he was not in
the vein for story telling, but he would relate
an incident which occurred during the early
part of his professional career, in court house
in the interior Of the State Of Ohio.
He said that the Judge had Just taken his
seat upon the bench, and cause was about to
be commenced, when a very white-haired old
gentleman came faltering into the court room,
upon cane in either hand. The old man was
q soldier of the revolution, and had come in
to procure a lawyer to prepare his papers,
that he might got his semi-annual payment
This service was always of course rendered
gratis.
The papers, continued Mr.. Corwin, were
handed over to him, and after asking some 9TH
er necessary questions, he inquired the age of
the pensoner.
In tremulous, shrill voice, the old man an
swered -r-t-y-h-v-e."
"You do not understand me, old gentle
man." said Mr. C. 81 wish 10 know how old
you are?"
81 am fo-r-t-y-H-v-e, young SIR"
"My dear sir, do not wish to know how old
you were when you left the service, or when
you entered t-but | want TO know how old
you are now"
81 told ye, forty-fve.''
"Mr. Corwin then looked up TO the Judge,
(who was himself getting out of patience In
despair, and his honor taking the matter in
hand, in peremptory manner remarked to the
old gentleman-"Th Court cannot be detain-
ed in this way-the counsel is endeavoring to
render you gTatuitous service, and you must
not trifie with his time. Answer his question
directly-Now, sir, how old are you?"
81 am forty-five, Judge" again spoke out
the old soldier.
81 will not bear this contempt any longer"
said the Judge. off you do not answer the
,nef,o tI1af ,e -l,an
committed, aged as you are, Now sir, again
ask, how old are you?'
81 am forty-fve!" the old man provokingly
repeated.
"Mr. Sheriff, take him to the Jail, the
Court will see whether that will do him any
good"
The old gentleman was led away, but Just as
he was going out of the door, he raised up his
head, and partly turning arognd on his sticks,
towards the Court, said:
"Judge, the first thirty.seven years Of my
life, lived on the Eastern Shore Of Mary land!
You surely don't think God will count them
against mel"
Mr.. Jonier has not been heard to say Ohio
since.

The general states, that he had been unable
as yet to prepare his detailed official report OF
the operations before Monterey-the last report
, from his subordinate commanders having been
at that moment received. Our loss in killed,
wounded, and missing, will vary very little
