William, who was considered to be fool, screw
ed his face, and looking thoughtful and somewhat
bewildered, slowly answered, "Moses l sspose"

dressing the court, 'the witness says he supposes
Moses made him. This certainly is an intelligent
answor--more so than | supposed him capable Of
giving, for it shows he has faint idea of scrip
ture, But submit, may it please the court that
this is not sufficient to justify his being sworn as
witness. No, sir; it is not such answer as a
witness qualified to testify should give"
"Mr. Judge" said the fool, may ask the law

questions you please"

laugh cure instead of the water cure A medical
neghbor tells the following:
While a picnic excursion with party Of
young people, discerning crows nest on a rocky
precipice, they started in great gee to see who
could reach it first. Their haste being greater
than prudence, some lost their holds, and wero
seen rolling and tumbling down the hillside bon
nets smashed clothes torn postures ridiculous, &C.,
but no one hurt. Then commenced scene Of tho
most violent and long continued laughter, and
which, being all young people, we'll acquainted
with each other and in the woods they INDUCED
to perfect surfeit They roared out with merry
peal peal of spontaneous laughter; they ex-
pressed it by hooting and hallooing when ordinary
laughter became insufficient to express the merri-
ment they felt at their own ridiculous situations
and those of their mates and ever afterwards the
bare mention of the crows nest scene oceasioned
renewed and inexpressible laughter. Years after
one of their number fell SICK became so low that
she could not speak, and was about breathing her
last Our informant called to see her, gave mis-
name, and tried to make himself recognized but
