Mrs. Crosby.
While Pettifogger was filling up the
deed for Styles in popped Captain Saun-
ders to take advice concerning an action
for damages brought against him by James
Jones.
"NIy husband is not in at this moment,
Captain" said Mrs. Crosby. please sit
down and wait little while"
Now, our heroine was very pretty
woman, and had exceedingly captivating
manners which were generally pleasing
10 the other sex. The captain was not
at all ayerse to waiting awhile " with
much satisfaction.
Please tell me something about this
difficulty of yours, Captain. I should
like to know the particulars, for do you
know that have studied law extensive
" myself?" continued the squire's wife
with pleasant smile.
Saunders was quite ready to relate his
troubles to such a listener, and so straight

that his neighbour Jones swine had tres
passed upon his grounds, destroying, at
certain times. sundry quantities of corn
and potatoes. and TO indemnify himself,
he had shot one of said quadrupeds, for
which act the owner had brought an &C
ton.
Il can tell you what to do in this case
precisely as well as the squire himself"
said Mrs. Crosby smiling still more pleas

you suppose 2" she resumed.

"What do you imagine the whole af-

case. Captain" added the lady, with q
smile that WAS really bewitching.
The captain unused moment, and then
exclaimed, 'I'll do it Blow me, if
don't believe you can settle it if anybody
cann'
The captain left the money and depar-

was dispatched to Farmer Jones, request
ing him to step up to the Office. While
Pom was engaged on the writ of Brown
rersns Smith, Jones made his appearance,
and the swine affair was settled for sew
en- dollars.
The letters Of Miss Bright were exam

Crosby Immediately wrote to that young
lady. advising her to drop the prosecu-
ton of the case as there was no reason

Higgins bill was sent, and Tom wrote a
threatening letter to Thompson; but how

item next on the programme
Nothing easier" said Tom. "Writc
