John Wad!elgh's Trial for Sleeps
lug isi Meeting.


Justice Winslow- - What do YOU know
about John Wadiiegh's sleeping in meet
ing?
Wirress-I know all about it; faint no
secret, guess.
Justice-Then tell us about ii; that's Jus,
what we want to know.
Witness (scra,ohing his head). Well,
the long and short Of it is, John Wadlsigh
is hard working nan; that is, he works
mighty hard doing to'hing; and that's the
hardest work there is done. 1t will make
Teller sleep quicker than poppy leaves
So it stands to reason that Wadleigh would
materially be avery sleepy sort Of person.
Well, the weather is sometimes materially
considerable warm, and Parson Moody's
sarmons Is something rather heavy like
"Stop, stop!" said Justice Winslow.-
"No reflection upon Parson Moody that
is not what you were called here for"
Watness | don't cast no reflection on
Parson Moody. was only telling what
know about John Wadleig his sleeping in
meeting; and it's my opinion. especially
IN warm weather, that sarmons that are
heavy like, and two hours long, materially
have tendency
'stop, stop! | say" said Squire Win
slow;''f you repeat any Of these relec-
tons on farson Moody again, I'll commit
you to the cage for contempt of court.
WHness-l DON'T cast no reflections on
Parson Moody. was only telling what
! know about John Wadeigh's sleeping in
meeting.
Squire Winslow-Well, go on, and tell
us all about that. You wern't called here
to testify about Parson Moody.
Witaess-Tbat's what am trying to DO,
if you wouldn't keep putting me out
And It's my opinion. in warm weather,
folks is considerable apt TO sleep in meet
ing; especially when the sarmon-I mean
especially where they get pretty tired-I
know ! find it pretty hard work to get bv
sesenthIy and eighthly in the sarmon my
self; but if once get by there, general
ly get into kind of waking train again,
and make Quito weather it. But it ism,
SO with WsdIeish; I've generally noticed
that If ne begins TO cape at seven'hly and
eighty, it's gone goose with him before
he gets through tenthly, and he has TO look
out for another prop for his head some
where, for his neck isn't stiff enough to
hold it up. And from tenthly mp to six
teenthlv he's as dead as door nail till
the amen brings the people up to prayers,
and Wadleigh comes up with a jerk, jest
like opening jack knife Seba Smith.

TAcUDAYA, Sept. Is, ~.
We have accounts from Mexico,
brought in by Frcnchmen and other for
eignerS, to the effect that Santa Anna
loss at FL Moline was much more severe
than any one here had anticipated. They
say that during the afternoon ofthe Sth
no less than 1900 wounded men came
INTO the city, while the number of killed
was over 600. The slaughter from the
batteries Of Col. Duncan and Captain
Drum must have been terrific.
Santa Ann, it is said, would have laid
all the blame OF the defeat upon Gen.
Leon, but that officer unfortunately for
him, died. He has since torn the cpau-
lette< from the shoulders Of Col. Miguel
Andradc, commander Of the celebrated
regiment of IIussars, accuses him Of eve
~ thing, has thrown him into prison, and
denied him all communication, He
must have some one to break out upon

At early day light this morning heavy cam

additional scge guns were paced N position.
The McXcans returned the fire with great spir

conn0t learn that man has been killed at any
of thc batteries Several of the Voltigeurs,
while diminishing with the enemys sharp-shoot
els at the foot Of thaputcpec, were wounded,
but none of them severely.
A 10 - inch mortar was opened upon the
place during the afternoon, and as several shells
have been s,en TO fall and explode directly with
in the encmys woks; it is certaiu that grea
damage has uocu caused. firing of heavy
guns has also been heard in the direction or La
Picdad showing that the NleXicans have been
diverted IN that quarter.
At dusk this cnIn. several loads Of scaling
