"INFORMAL" PROCEEDINGS Street
near Roberts, was enlivened the other day by
an incident which is worth recording as en-
bodying characteristic of Western pro-
gression."
1t seems that one of our worthy Deputy
Sheriffs was directed-as consequence Of a
fOreclOsed mortgage to seize or attach the
property of certain Frenchnan, wherever
ne might find it. Said Frenchman came in
to town on horseback and hitched his nag on
Third Street. Deputy Sheriff getting wind of
it, proceeded unfortunately without thepapcrs
to show cause why, to seize the horse to take
him away. The Frenchman was busily on
iland to protest against the act, and demand
the authority for such proceedings. High
words ensued, and large crowd soon gather
ed around. The Deputy insisted on taking
the horse. Mr.. Frenchman during the, high
est excitement, slipped mysteriously from
crowd, and rushed to Pap LIE Mays for
warrant to arrest the Deputy. The sympa-
thising Justice approaching the importance of
speedy action, volunteered to 60 in person
without stopping to make out warrant and
make the arrest He went and after hot
pushing succeeded by assistance of a muscu-
lar friend in capturing the Deputy, and start
ed arm in arm towards the Post Office-the
Frenchman in the meantime mounted his
horse and galloped for home. The prisoner
and his escorts had not advanced far before
they were met by broad shouldered Police
man, who commanded them to halt, and ask
ed for an. "explanation." The Deputy, who
was biting his fingers with vexation, said
with strong emphasis ''arrest these too men.!"
while the portly Justice, who had been put
ting on airs of glory and authority" "said
loudly, TAKE CHARGE OF THIS PRISONER ?"
With CONNIE ndable propriety and discretion,
and to the extreme merriment of the bystan-
ders, the Policeman arrested the whole
three, and marched them to the somewhat sha-
dy apartments of the City Hall where they
would await their trials
How the matter was settled, we know not
but the mortgaged horse and rider are pro-
badly running yet.

A PUGlLIsT IN LIMBO. "A huge drayman

"AN FRESHMAN IN COURT

The writer has several times seen, in tho
public prints, a narrative Of the sayings of
Dennis O'Brien, reputed witness, in the Cir
cult Court of Lynchburg. The writer was
present at the occurrence alluded to and was
we'll acquainted With the witness, whose
name was William Tieruey and NOT Dennis
O'Brien. Tierney was before the Hon. Judge
Leigh az q witness in some case, not now
remem bered by the writer and not necessary
to be known; but it was necessary that he
should enter into recognis ,nce in tho sum
of fifty dollars to appear at the next term oil
the court ..
HIS honor: "You acknowledge yourself
Indebted to the Commonwealth in the sum
of fifty dollars?" Tsrney, who had taken
'drhap" or 30 before coming into Court,
quickly responded: mo, yer honer--l done
owe it cint."
Bot" said his honor. at is necessary that
you acknowledge yourself indebted to tho
Commonwealth in the sum of fifty dollars,
conditioned for your appearance here, ut the
next term Of the Court, as o witness In this
case" Tierney: "Paise yer homer. never
owed it cint 10 my life and ! can't do it
His honor explained that it was matter OF
form and that he would not be required to
pay unless be failed to appear at The proper
time; but Tierney peremptorily refused to
recognize, protesting that, if be did, he could
"niver pay the money; and it was only after
his honor assured him it would DO bis duty
to send him to Jail until the next term of the
Court, and some of the by ISLANDERS urged
him to it, that Tierney reluctantly ackno~-
lodged hiaself to be indebted to the Common
wealth in the sum OF fifty dollars, and left the
court room swearing he'd be id il bed iver
pay - cint Of it."-Lynch6urg Vuginian.
