| is known by the cognomen of ssBrutus." His
real name is Samuel Paisley, but the appella-
ton of "Brutus" was acquired by his inces-
SAINT contribution on various subjects to the
different papers in our state for series Of
years, which generally appeared over that
signature. He possesses unquesuonaDly
fair shore of originality of thought, and had
he received the advantages of an education in
his youthful days his productions would have
been differently constructed, and assumed q
more finished and polished style. However
his writings are by no means below medioerty
his language and diction are good, and given
In his own quaint way, regardless OF the rules
of grammer-his aim being principally to ad-
vance his ideas upon what he conceives to be
right and leave the reader to form his conclu-
sions. He lives n secluded live-his house is
an old one story frame building, which con-
tains his bed, two or three chairs, several pic
torres, two guns which are placed over the door
stills dog and cat, besides an assortment of
books. lie is about sixty years Of age, OF me-
dunn size, horid complexion, pleasant and af-
fable in his manners and converses freely. His
naraphernalia IL is true is rather coarse and
common, but his urbanity of manners assist to
make up the deficiency in this respect. He
owns about 200 acres of land, which is of ex-
cellent quality, and although in an impoyer-
isEod state, would command a fair price, ow-
ing to its close proximity to Milford. His oc-
cupaton is fishing, and he obtains his liveli-
hood by catching fish and oysters. He occa
sionally visits the town, frequently in his old
gig with elbow springs and no top and drawn
by an old and fayorite charger. The above is
a faithful portrait of one of the most famous
Of the literati in the vicinity of Milford. He
was also schoomate of the late lamented
HMilford Bard" whom he alluded to in terms
of commentator, admiring his talent and
genius.
A case Of Grim. Con. took place before Es-
quire Belts, in South Milford on Saturday af-
ternoon. The place selected for the hearing
was large brick building formerly occupied
as q grocery store. There was largo atten-
dance, as much interest was manifested. Gases
of this character usually draw hither many per-
sons, particularly the youth. The particulars
as we are informed are as follows: A young
gentleman by the name of Hudson, farmer
by occupation, had been for some time bestow-
ing his attention on young lady of humble
life, and whose circumstances were rather
limited, and as is alleged after time the fruits
of their frequent intercourse was an heir,
which the young man disclaims as being his
property. His refusal to acknowledge the pa
ternity, caused a hearing of the charge which
was preferred against him at which the parties
were ably represented by Counsel, Willard
Salisbury acting for the defence, and James
r. Lofiand, Secretary oiState, torthe plaintiff.
The room was deasely packed, and it was with
the utmost difficulty to hear the remarks of
Counsel. However, in the course of the speech
of Mr.. Lohand, some words fell from his lips
which were rather unpalpatable to a bystander
when a rush was made by the person assae d
in the direction of the Speaker, evidently no
doubt to inflict corporal punishment. His pro-
gress however was arrested by the crowd, and
his attempt was thus frustrated to commit vio-
lence on the person of MIR. Loaand, who how
nd nd
ceeded with his speech as though nothing had
occurred. The magistrate held the young man
in the sum of Sl60when he appeared and gave
security for his appearance at the next term of
the Court at Georgetown. There were num-
Der of witnesses present amongst whom were
married men whose testimony were of very
discreditable character, and the reference
made by Mr.. Loaand to one of the parties who
acknowledged to have had illicit intercourse
with his client, gave rise to the billigerent
scene which occurred.

Disgraceful.-Several persons who attended
MI. Lebanon M. E. Church, on Sunday even
ing, the 9Th inst, were considerably ANNOYED
as they returned home in their carriages to
find that some unprincipled boys (for they are
not worthy OF the name of young menu had
placed several large rails across the road that
leads to Talleyville which they had to cross
at the risk of breaking their carriages and
soaring their horses. AS the night was dark
they were not to be seen until too late to avoid
them. The citizens have their eye on the boys
and if their parents cannot keep them in at
nights, or they do not behave themselves bet
ter,when they are out, they may get themselves
shown up to the public and reap the benefit
of their evil deeds.
