LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEw PROCESS TO COLLECT DEBTS.-Mr. J. X.
Brooks trader at Hunts Hill, has adopted a
new system for the collection of accounts.
which is intended to do away with the neces-
atty OF the intervention Of Justices and COnsta-
bes, and to supply the place of the late strn-
gent attachment law. One day last week, in
view of the near approach of steamer day"
and Of his obligations to his own creditors. Mr..
Brooks transferred number of accounts on to
separate slips Of paper, and started out in
search of his slow-paying customers. Among
others, he called on Joseph Sheldon, and re-
ouested the payment of small balance due
from him. Sheldon denied the indebtedness,
and in the course of conversation, intimated
that Brooks accounts were not kept very hon
estly; upon this, the latter drew knife, made
at the delinquent debtor, and chased him about
o hundred yards, striking at every step, but in
consequence of the distance between them. the
Gcrce blows were spent upon the thin air. The
thought of the knife which was being dnurished
behind him. caused Sheldon TO put forth super
human exertions, and at every step the distance
creased. After running some distance Sheldon
seized billet of wood which lay conveniently
on his track, and turned on his pursuer.-
Brooks, seeing the new attitude assumed by his
fleeing debtor, suddenly became exhausted aud
gave up the chase. Sheldon, however, after re-
covering his breath, continued on bis course,
aud brought up ut the Office of Justice Andcr
son, in this place. In due time warrant was
issued, aud the next day Brooks was brought
before the Court on charge of assault with
latent to do serious bodily harm;" but after IA
careful hearing of the facts, the defendant was
discharged, and permitted to 60 hence without
the presence Of the august tribunal. The ex-
animation assumed such cOmcal turn, that
the belligerants became good natured and at
the conclusion of the trial, Sheldon Gorked ever
the amount OF his Indebtedness to Brooks. with
the understanding that they should be good
friends again.
