The EFFECT OF SMoKE.-Hon. Geo.
+. Farley, distinguished member of
the Massachusetts bar, relates an anus.
ing anccdote OF the effects OF smoke"
as an element OF q lawsuit. Some time
after the return Of Gen. Pierce from
Mexico, trial took place before one OF
the New IIampshi C Courts, in which
Pierce and Farley were opposed to each
other the suit was upon policy Of
Insurance against fire, and the defence
was that The plaintiff fired his own store;
among the Witnesses for the defence
was clerk, who during the.progress Of
the fire was employed in the cellar,
busily saving property, and seeking TO
extinguish the flames, While the pro
prletor looked calmly on. Gen. Pierce
in seeking TO weaken the manifest ei-
iect oi this witness upon the jury, cross
examined him very closely upon the
facts, and asked hIm among many other
questions how it was possible for him TO
stay and work in the cellar when smoke
was very dense there. The witness
replied with great nairene, Wen,
General, suppose ii ras because smoke
neoer makes NE taint." There was no
end TO the roar which this remark oc-
casioncd--but there was Il very speedy
one TO the cross examination and to the
case.
