Anecdoie Of General yackso,

At the southwest, the people delight to
spin yarns Of General jackson; of his dar-
ing, love of Justice, and the prompt why OF
administering that article" when he found
it necessary. Twas on the Mississippi last
summer, when I heard the following story,
which never having seen in print, 1 send you
for the benefit Of the readers Of the Spirit
of the Times AgTg ss1eo2 - ,ai.sss
The General, then Judge jackson, was
holding court in little village in Tennessee.
and dispensing justice in large and small
doses, as seemed to him to be required in
the case before him.
One day during court, q great bullvinp
fellow armed with pistol and bowie knife
took it upon himself to parade before the
shanty court house, and d-n the Judge.
Jury, and every one there assembled, in set
terms. ~A'e- 49,
g Sheriff." sang out the Judge, in an awful
tone, arrest that man for contempt Of court,
and confine him." s-
Out goes the sheriff, but soon returned
with word to the judge that he had found it
impossible to take him." s5
>" Summon posse, them" said the Judge,
and bring him before me p 8
The sheriff put out again, but the task was
too difficult he could not, or dared not lay
his hand on the man, nor did any of the
posse like the j,b,g as the fellow threatened
to shoot the FIRST 6 skunk that came within
ten feet Of him." -, ~ -.....-
At this the judge waxed wratiy, to have
his authority put at defiance before all the
good people Of the vicinity, 50 be cfisd out

The SECRETS OF THE EARrH.-The Dav
export Gazette states that q man in that vi
entity was digging a well on his premises
and at the depth of IA feet struck ON heavy
tenacious earth, resembling blue clay, which
upon being exposed to the atmosp. ere be
comes hard, assuming the appearance o
soapstone. What may seem to be singular
fact to some is, that although this well il

ten feet below its surface, yet no water has
been reached. ~
