funny story is told Of young member Of the
Bar 10 this city, who is exceedingly sedate and
reserved in his manner, aad withal not possess
ed oiany great degree Of physical pFowess.-
Some time since a brawnev customer entered
his ofice and stated that HI wished to bring an
action against a man for thrusting him forcibly
out of his shop. The lawyer bade him 10 BE-
seated, aad asked bin TO relate the particulars
of the case, 50 that he might properly under
stand how 10 conduet it.
'.Weihsir' said the client, 81 ordered a job
of work al Ir. B's shop, and at the time speci-
fed / called he told Tie il was not finished
said-then as you have not kept your word,
You need not do the job at all. He few into
rage" [I1ere the cliaat rose from his seat, in
an excited manner, and, taking The lawyer by
the neck, proceeded to demonstrate practically
the nature Of the violence used.3

q Jersey E.acitemeqt .--Th+re appears TO be
considerable excitement in Patterson, \. j., in
regard to The finding Of about three hundred
pearls lreall in muscle schells-the affair SEEM
ing likely to transform the Jersey fat into
new East ladies. The Aew fork Tribune has
the following
"a fi-ad assures us that one pearl as large
ss.a slaall ulashle mot piece Of chalk has
stlesn Shown 10 Tiffany < Tiirs, The weil known
Broadway jewelers., who estimated IFS value at
81 600. and offered 10 advance 800 on it. it
lacks the peculiar tint Of the Eastern pearl
otherwise its value wonld be almost incredible.
The man eyho ONES il has already sold small
pearls 10 the amount Of 5000 Every body is
a.. ,t bot tba
lasre is evidently no lack Of muscle at the Dig
gnga."

The clog Cholpranis is prevailing to an
alarming extent in Kentucky, Indiana, and in
fact, all along the Ohio River. To two pens in
Kentucky in less than a week some 400 hogs
died, and we hear accounts OF smaller numbers
in other sections The hogs that thus die are
converted into grease, and sold 10 the sterine
candle makers at about cts per 10. This is
bringing hogs 10 hight.
Boston .lioyals.-The Dalton divorce case is
still before the Boston court, and very dirty

think ths kind Of garbage is proper mental ali
mpnt for their readers. Tastes differ; but
6hhy slreaa can hardly yield Wholesome hev-
erage.
