Mr.. Evans suggested that it would be time
enough to make motion with regard TO the
witnesses for the defence when the testimony
for the government is all out.
The Court decided that such witnesses as
the counsel on each side may furnish a list of,
shall be excluded from hearing the testimony
of other witnesses.

A raw looking chap, rather green IN the
routine OF banking operations, called in ut
one of our city banks a few day. since, and
after making due inquiry rs to the name OF
the bank, observed 10 the teller, while he
displayed his proportions 10 the best ad-
vantage, g DO you see me, sir!" aud I'M
mediately walked out, leaving the officer
somewhat puzzled as to the why aud where
fore of the question. Upon the next day
he again presented himself at the counter,
and after asking the same question, walked
quietly off, Astonishcd at the repetition of
so odd an affair, aud expecting hoax Of
some kind, the teller determined that II the
singular customer should return again he
would put mark upon him the better TO
know him in future. Accordingly, upon
the individual presenting himself on the
next day, for the third time, he was met
with the ink sponge directly between the
eyes. " Ha, ha, mister, you're rather too
late To come that CANNON now, ! rather
guess you have had three days sight, says
the queer one, so down with the DUST at
the same time producing draft for 500 nj

Virgin Mays. A sturdy old fellow, who
blacks my boots, tells me that ne has been

Of ST. Paul, thirteen times as 81. Joseph, nine
times as ST. peter-he cannot tell how many
times as the " Roman Father" and as I" me
head of am old man." at least Thousand
times. One would think that from assulil-
ing these characters so often, he woulu nave
attained TO uncommon sanctity, but he y,
in truth, the greatest rogue have seen III

The rascal prides himself a good deal on
being sent so often TO America, and the 9TH

not gentleman's parlor in my country ~
which he or one Of his family was not hung
up in gil frame. He said 10 me yester-
day, my son and daughter have Just been
sent to America again, one rs peasani

CunIous FAcr ron DooroRs,--A cor
respondent of one Of the Cincinnati papers
states that Bucna Vista battle field IS still
covered with bones, coats, pants, shoes,
knapsacks, Sc. And what is most singular
OF all il, that few Mcxicans who We're left
nnbnried. are still on the hattie field entire.
Neither pelriiaction nor the wolves prey mp
on them, but they are dried uplike mnmmlcs.
The only way il is explained Is, TINT tho
Mexicans eat SO much pepper that y pre-
serves their bodies from petrilactlon, aud at
the same iino spoils them for the taste OF
wolves. Certainly they do not decay, and
the wolves win not prey upon them. tfees-
