Aquafortis as q Beverso.

In the pretty village of Haddoa 3eld. N.w
Jersey, some years ago, there resided an ol5
fellow who was Familiarity knowr in the TOM
and country around as "0Id Joe" He baS
no particular occupation except doing chores
or errands, nor any particular location. He
ate where he could get bite, and slept vher.
ever he could find lodging place Joe was n
a regular old topper, and Jersey lightning had
no more effect on his inside than just 50 much
water. He generally made his headquarters
at the lover tavern, for there we're two in the
town. lie would sleep and doIe away the af-
ternoon On an old bench in one corner Of the
6ar-room, but was always awake when there
was any drinking going on. When be was not
asked to drink he would slip to the bar and
dram the glasses Of the few drops left in them.
one afternoon DR.. Bolus, the village physician,
was In the tavern mixing up a preparation.
ne placed tumblcr half full of squsfortis on
the bar, and turned round to mix some other
ingredients. few moments after he had oc-
casion to use the poisonous drug, when ho
found to his dismsy that the tumbler had been
drained TO the last drop.
Mr. Virgins, exclaimed the do,tor in
alright, to the landlord, what has become of
the Gq~aJoTtis put on the bar a few moments
ago?"
81 don't know, replied the landlord, "up.
less Old Joe slipped in and drank it,"
In this suspicion they were soon confirmed,
TOT the hostler said he had seen Old Joe syal.
low the fatal draught. The Doctor, knowing
that he must die after such dose, instituted
search at once After some hours spent in
looking through the barns, out houses woods,
DC for three or four miles round the village.
Joe WAS abandoned to his fate. 1t was a cold
night; and as the village topers assembled
around the blazing hickoryG Gre in the bar
room, nothing was thought of or talked of but
the unfortunate end of poor Old Joe Some
four days elapsed, and nothing having been
heard from Old Joe, they all came TO the con-
oiusion that he was goner. The Doctor,
about this time, had occasion to visit patient
some eight miles distant. What was his sur.
prise to see Old joe in front Of a farmer house
splitting wood.
"Why, Joe" said the Doctor, riding up TO
the fence, 81 thought you were dead and
buried before this ?''-
why, what made you think that, Doctor. -
said Joe, leaning on his axe handle
Didn't you drink that dose left on old
Wiggirs's bar a few days since?"
Yes" replied Joe, half ashamed TO own IL.
"DO you know what it was?" asked the
Doctor
"NO!" returned Joe.
"Why, it was aqua to kill
dozen men,"
"Well, Doctor; do you know that thought
there was something queer about the darned

NEATSBSs IN NEBRASKA The following,
from traveller in the wilds of Nebraska, is
the best illustration Of the extreme TO which
scrupulous cleanliness can be carried that we
have ever met with. After undergoing an in.
ternal ablution, the writer should receive q
corn-dodger medal in Acknowledgement of the
terrible ordeal his stomach survived
"We got off our horses, hitched them to a
cottonwood corn crib and went in. We asked
for supper. We got some bacon, molasses,
boiled pumpkin, and corn-dodger. We ate
heartily. After the neal was passed the wo

A Pretty Tall Story.

The BrOckport IN. " Republic has the
following, which comes under the head of
marvellous, if true
" About three years ago girl was walking
on the beach Of the lake, north Of this place.
with young man to whom she related a won-
dertul dream Of the previous night, in which
1t was revealed to her that she should find a
large sum Of money upon the shore. The
young man was to have half for assisting her
IN the search. Directly they came to dead
body, which, frem its appearance, and the
size Of the head (nearly as large as bushel
basket had evidently been in the water for
some time
"At the sight they both tainted avay. but
soon recovered, and venturing TO examine IL,
discovered about it belt Containing a large
package OF money in bills-this they counted
and found the amount as stated.
They buried the body to prevent dissov-
cry, and also the money, which they agreed
not TO disturb for three weeks. At the eIpira-
tIon o. the time, the young man returned TO
the place, the money was missing. His COM
panion acknowledged that she had taken il,
and would take care of il until he was tvep-
ty, which would be in three years.
" AS the time has expired, he demands his
half, which she answers by denying the whole
statement. The young man tells friend, and
it spreads like wildfre. Report says a large
company OF men, armed with spades and sho-
vels, are to-day looking for the bones of the
buried stranger. The excitement has been
very much increased by the fact that pro-
peller was wrecked there three years ago, and
that gentleman supposed to be Spaniar6,
a stranger to the passengers who were saved,
was lost.
/" Some parties, formerly rather hard up,
report says, have been very flush of late, spec
ulating very largely in real estate, and max
ing great show generally.
"LA7RR.-We just learn that bones answer
ing to the fact of the burial, have been dis
covered in the woods about half mile from
the beach,

SINGULAR ACCIDENT An acc ident of a
singular character happened in the neighbor-
hood of Middlebrook, in Augusta county, Va =,
on Tuesday last. Several young men went
out to shoot some pigeons, and when Mr. John
Argabright, fired his piece, which was heavily
charged, the breeching of the gun gave way
forcing screw into his forehead, the head
foremost, an inch and a half. Young Arga.
bright at length drew out the screw himself
with several small pieces of bone attached to
it The gun was an old one, and the lock was
found fifty yards from the place the piece was
discharged. The young man still remains
perfectly conscious though suffering great
pain.

LEGAL ANECDorE.-A friend at our elbow,
says an exchange, relates q legal snecdote
which is too good TO be lost. 1t is Of course
located "out west, +" that region so famous for
its luminous jurists; and illustrates the ruling
passion for poker" even among the western
members of the bar. The court is in session,
the judges are on the bench, and the case of
Smith VS. Brown is called up.
"AlI ready" shouts the counsel for de-
fendant; but the counsel for the plaintiff does
not respond.
"Who's for the PLAINTIFF" inquired the
Judge somewhat impatiently.
MAY il please the court" said q rising
member of the legal fraternity, "Pilkins IS
for the plaintiff, but left him Just now over
in the tavern playing game Of poker He's
got " sucker" there, snd he's sure to skin
him if he only has time. He's got the thing
all set to ring in 4" cold deck, /" in which
case he will deal for himself four aces and his
opponent four queens, so that your honor will
perceive he must rake the persimmons f"
The lock of impatience vanished from the
face of his honor at once, and an expression
more of sorrow than anger took It's place. At
length he said, with q sigh:
"Dear me, that's too bad 4. 1t happens at
a very unfortunate time; am very anxious
to get on with these cases."
happy idea struck the Judge.
"Bill," said he, addressing the friend OF
the absent Pilkins, who had spoken. you
