held his fore-6nger in the hair Of the young

Tom Corwin', Wit.

While this capital joker was a member Of
the General Assembly Of the State OF Ohio,
he brought in a bill for the .boltion Of public
punishment, at the whippng-post He made
a speech thereon, to which an elderly mem
ber replied somewhat as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is not as old
as am, and has never seen so much of the
practical operation of the system Of punish
ment which he desires to abolish. When
lived in Connecticut, if a fellow stole horse,
or cut up any other rusties, we used to tie
him right up, and give him real coed thrash
in; and he always cleared right out. and we
never saw no more Of him. It's the best way
of getting rid of rogues that ever was tried
and without expense to the State.'
Corwin rose in reply: "Mr. Speaker, have
been often puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to the West;
but the gentleman last up has explained it to
my entire satisfaction" The bill passed
without further discussion.
