A SHTFTY JuDGE.--A short time since they
had queer case for Circuit Judge in the
Western District of Tennessee He was good
lawyer, but cared nothing for appearance, and
less for dress. The latter he knew nothing
about, it being left entirely to Betty, his wife.
His Betty was absent from home once when he
started around ON the circuit, leaving the Judge
to pack his clothes for the trip. He did so, but
instead Of finding his shirts, he seized on pile
of his wife's what you call -ems, used for like
purpose. A learned brother, who roomed with
him, was much amused few mornings af-
forwards, at the queer appearance Of the Judge
nothing being in sight but his head, arms and
feet, his looks of bewilderment, and his sottt
poee reflections, which we're; e. wonder what
on earth made Betty cut off my shirt sleeves
l don't see." 1t is probable he heard the reason
the next time he saw Betty, but not before, a.
the bar kept dark on the matter Ito him) thai

A PROPER CONVICTION AND PROPER PUNISH
MENT-At the term of the Criminal Court for
the county of Lenawee, State Of Michigan,
which closed on the a0th ult., Augustus Nc
Donald was tried, convicted and sentenced for
life, for placing distractions on the line Of the
United States mail road for the purpose, as was
clearly shown and admitted by him, of robbing
the mails This mail road, we suppose, was a
railroad; if SO. the punishment is a just and
proper one, and we are pleased to see Courts
recognizing the enormity of the ofense, and
treating it with the same severity they would
visit upon murder.

HuAiaN NATURE. When nearly opposite Boyl:
ston Market, yesterday morning, we were at
traeted by a little seven by mine country chap,
of some dozen years, wearing o long blue wool
len fruck and Kossuth hat, with his boots out
side Of his trousers, who was boo hooing most
vigorously, with the tears streaming down his
good looking face in small torrents Quite q
crowd had collected around him, and sympa-
timing spirit was very manifest. Elbowing a
way in through the surrounding press of spec
tators, we asked little Rustieus what the cause
was Of his deep grief. He replied, with his
| voice ehoked by his sobs g That Teller -
going long there-throwed stones at me--and
struck me--and a man--here--wouldn't let me
lick him heo-hoo-h eo!" All his sorrow was
absorbed in the idea of revenge for the injury,
and his little fingers frightened around the whip
he held, as if they aohed to get hold Of the
big TELLER. who had insulted him. Post,

A sc Fox" HUNT-A scene occurred a few
years since at village near Newburg, N. Y,
which set the good folk of the village quite agog
The name of the village shall be nameless.
Suffice it to say that the major part of its in
habitants consisted of that staid, pious sect of
religionists called Quakers
The excellent broad -brimmed people were not
without their delight, huge, plain, implanted
Westinghouse duly laid off within into two Sec
tions, the one were the benches for the Quaker
esses, the others were those of the Quakers, and
containing at the end farthest from the door,
the usual raised seats for the elders, male and
female
One Saturday, some of the young scapegraces
Of the village caught fox, and intent on sport,
after the meeting house was opened the next
morning, and before the prim unoffending
Friends had gathered, they led Reynard along
the street, trailed him into one door and out at
the other and all around the interior of the
church and so on.
Soon afterwards the Friends began to gather
They had sat for full hour, soberly looking
into their laps and twirling their thumbs-the
silence meanwhile having settled down like a
northern winter-When the young scamps, who
had large pack of hounds, let them loose and
put them upon the trail Away they went
with yelp, yelp, yelp, following the trail with
| their noses to the ground, and if there is any
thing that can get up a racket it is pack of
hounds in full cry. Away they went straight
for the meeting house, and in they tumbled pell
nell among the quiet, unoffending Quakers.
Yelp, yelp, yelp, yelp resounded and echoed
| within the plain wall and among the implanted
benches, to the utter amazement of the broad
| brins and the drab bonnets. Yelp, yelp, yelp
| away they went, following the trail up one aisle
and down the other, and up on the raised seats,
and over and under and among the legs of the
| astonished elders, through, into and around the
female part of the house, and SO out of the door,
their cries growing less and less distinct in the
distance. It is needless to say that the meeting
journed with ill disguised indignation. The
friend who tells us the story says that the
leader of that hunting party was sent by his
| "paternal" ancestor on q long sea voyage to
amend his manners.

August, is estimated at six thousand, or between
ten and fifteen per cent of the total amount Of
immigration during the same time.

something, and, on looking over the stern, saw

again looking ahead, saw q similar patch close
to the lee bow Put the helm hard down to
clear it, On passing, il showed itself to be q
rock, with smooth top, forty or fifty fathoms
in circumference, and apparently three fathoms
under water. That they were both stationary
objects am fully convinced. the contrast be-
tween the surrounding water and them being SO
great that the man at the masthead could
plainly see them as far as the thickness of the
weather would admit, say three miles. Not

+ We learn from the Thibodaux Minerva that
on Tuesday the 10th inst Mr. d Leonyal, Of
chat town, committed suicide BY taking strych-
nine Letters were found upon his person
addressed to his mother and wife, accounting
for the deed by stating that he had lost sum
Of money at cards.
The editor Of the Minerva says that many Of
the sugar planters in that quarter have COM
menced rolling, but that he is unable to learn
either the yield of the cane or the quality Of
the sugar
DR.. Walter B. Young, highly respected
physician Of Thibodaux, died on Wednesday the
10th inst @
The Concordia Intelligencer of the 18th has
the following: 7.
We regret to learn that Mr.. B. f. Glasscock,
residing on Black River, in this parish, had
both his hands caught in the machinery Of his
cotton gin, on Tuesday evening last. and one Of
| them This right handy literally crushed to
pieces 1t is feared by his friends that ampu-
tation must be resorted to. The other hand is
badly injured, but hopes are entertained that
he will not lose the use of it.
All our exchanges both in Louisiana and
Mississippi complain Of great injury done to the
cotton crop from the late heavy rains and winds.
The cotton in this immediate neghborhood has
also suffered to a considerable extent, BY the
rains and the dry rot.
The Alexandria Democrat of the 18th an
nounces that there is no improvement in the
health Of that town. Up to that date about a
hundred persons had been under treatment for
fever resembling yellow fever, though none
had died. On the previous day o man was
reported to have the black yomit.

LORD MANSFIELD AND HIS CoACHMAN.
following is an anecdote Of the late Lord Mans
field, which his lordship himself told from the
bench:
He had turned off his coachman for certain
acts of POPULATION, not uncommon in this class
of persons. The fellow begged his lordship to
give him character. What kind of char
acter can give you - says his lordshsp go,
my lord, any character your lordship pleases
to give me, ] shall most thankfully receive
His lordship accordingly sat down, and wrote
as follows:
6 The bearer, John -, has served me three
years in the capacity Of coaehman. He is an
able driver, and very sober man; discharged
him because he cheated me.
(Signed) MANSFIELD.
John thanked his lordship, and went off,
A few mornings afterwards, when his lordship
was going through his lobby to step into his
coach for Westminster Hall, q man in a very
handsome livery made him low bow To his
surprise he recognized his late coachman.
why, John,'' says his lordship. you seem to
have got an excellent place; how could you
manage this with the character ] gave you .
&c o my lord said John, sit was an exceed
ingly good character, and / come to return
you thanks for it; my new master, on reading
it, said, he observed your lordship recommended
me as an able driver and sober man. These
says he, are just the qualities I want in a
coachman I observe his lordship adds he dis
charged you because you cheated him. sHark,
you, sirrah,' says he, g I'm Yorkshireman, and
I'll defy you to cheat me,

A DEEP SPRING.-On Lake Prairie, Iowa,
there is spring, the bottom of which no plum
met has ever yet sounded. 1t has false bot
tom about three feet from the surface, through
which, if twenty foot pole be thrust, it will
sink under the sand composing the crust like
layer, and in a moment after its disappearance,
will bound up again on the surface. An Indian
legend has it that on quiet full-moon night,
the Great Spirit led the wicked ones of a certain
tribe thither, and when they saw the glorious
beauty Of the crystal water, they thought to
battle themselves in the moon kissed fountain,
and therefore plunged into the spring, but sunk
to rise no more. Ever afterwards, runs the
story, the names of these evil unfortunates
have troubled the bottomless water, and to this
day they agtate the deceptive bosom of the
beautiful, though dangerous, spring.

LYNCH LAW in MARYLAND.-W published an
account, a few days ago, Of the murder of Mr.
William Butler, in Caroline county, Md, by a
negro, named Dave Thomas. The court being
in session at Denton, the prisoner was inmedi-
ately placed on trial, and found guilty of g MUIR
der in the second degree" The Denton journal
says:
Z Immediately after the rendition of the ver-
dict, on Thursday last, there were strong dem
onstrations Of disapprobation manifested on the
court house green, where o large and excited
crowd had assembled, and serious threats were
made to force open the Jail, take out the negro
and lynch him. The excitement was very great
SO much SO that the Court authorized the
sheriff to summon posse sufficient to quell any
disturbance that might occur. No attempt, we
believe. was made to get possession Of the negro,
although a rope was procured with which to
hang him.
The Baltimore Gazette, Of the 10th, states
that on the night Of Saturday, the 7th, the jail
was broken into by the indignant populace, the
negro taken out and hung, until he was dead
This is the first instance Of lynch law !" that
has occurred in Maryland of which we have
/ any knowledge.
