We have said Abraham Miller was mild man
I-Quakers are proverbial!y so. Bntthe gaunt
let thrown down by the stranger from the coun

to the store; from the back yard having slipped
his collar on, Abraham brought forth brindle
cur, long, strong, all powerful
Friend said the excited Quaker "thy dog
shall be we'll beaten, Ipromise thee Hike, ST.. G
upon him. Turk, here boy !" and the dog went

Bob Carter, the smith, coming up in time to
hear the strangers defiance to the town, and
| bent on fight with somebody for the insult and
| damage to his wife, clampcd the collar of the
! stranger, and by series of ten pound ten upon
| the face, and back and sides of his bully antae-
onst, with his natural sledge hammers, Bob stir
ring up the strength of the bully stranger, the
| top of his compass, and then made the sparks
| fly dreadfulIy
Joe fuckers dog, renfc reed by that of Abra-
ham Miller's dog, took a fresh start, and between
the two the strangers dog was being cruelty
put to his trumps. Deacon Pugh one of the
most substantial and pous men in Frogtown,

bling, and Deacon Pugh arm d with his heavy
walking stick, and shocked at the spectacle be-
fore him, MARCHED up TO the dogs, exclaiming as
he did 80
: Fie fie, for shame dsgraceful YOU men :;
citizens of Frogtown, will you stand and =

Deacon, who was about to cut right aud left
among the dogs with his cane.

"Th,e has provoked my evil passion. Deacon

And INFO the Deacon's WOO, went the Q1ak-

spirit of the thing, and we leave them thus nip
and tnck," to look to the stranger and Bob Car

EN- and the town constable came up; and in their
| attempt to preserve the peace, and arrest the Of
tenders, the Squire was thrust through the Win
dow of neighboring Matchmaker doing a
heap of damage, while lawyer Hooker, in at
tempting TO aid the constable was hit in mis-
take by the furious blacksmith, in the short ribs,
and went reeing down Gumbos cellar with
frightful velocity. The friends and fellow church
men of Deacon Pugh, took sides against the
| Quaker antagonist, and the shop boys OF Abra-
ham, seeing their employer thus beset, came to
the res ,ne while two lrshmen, full of fun and
frolic, believing it to be "frce fight" tried their
hands and sticks upon the cOmbatants indscrim

and happy town of Frogtown was shaken from
lis propriety, by one grand, subIimely ride
