Some wag had prepared what purporied
TO be the message from Queen Victoria to
President Buchanan. and having the same
neatly printed, sent number Of young
slers through The town to dispose Of them,
which was done al rapid rate and al a
good price. In short time the excite
ment was up TO fever heat, the court was
adjourned unceremoniously, bells were
rune, cannon fired. and the whole popula
zion met in the Court house Square &c
celebrate the achievement Of this grea
scientific victory. A number Of speeches
were delivered by the lawyers, who were
thus suddenly called from their disserta
tons upon Coke and Blackstone to take
part in the celebration. The firing OF the
guns soon aroused the s,aid people in the
rural neighbothood, who began TO pour in
TO the town; and the day was spent in
shouting, spe aking, firing. and-perhaps
drinking. twas not until all were
well nigh exhausted with their ebullitlons
ofjoy that the discovery was made that
they had been hOsxed !
