noted for his success in criminal cases, almost

The jury retired, but returned in few mo-

FUSSY.-A right funny story is told as hap
peniDg down in the rural vicinity of Mount
Pleasant, Virginia, not long since. Not far
from Mount Pleasant, back in the country like,
there is tavern called the Franklin House.
Mr.. Franklin, the proprietor has two deaf and
dumb daughters. sprightful, intelligent and in
teresting. By signs they often carry on ami
mated conversations, especially with each oth-
er and members of the family. Last week,
two foot travellers stopped for the night, at
this house, and after supper with the family,
were shown TO a room in which was a good
fire and bed for their accommodation. The
kind host on entering the room in the morn
ing found that the bed had not been occupied
and that his guests had flown. He, however,
found on the table money for their supper,
and note, stating that in consequence OF
signs made at the supper table by the young
ladies, they did not think it safe TO 60 to bed,
and therefore paid the bill and took their de-
parture.
