DUBUQUE, June Goth.
/. DEAR SprRrr.-The Following anec-
dote is taken from monthly published
in Iowa several years ago, and edited by
the Bar Of Iowa. From the similarity
of this Justices orthography to that Of
tie distinguished 'Titlebat Titmouse,
and Ansom Jeems of Buckley Square,
you might conjecture that the three had
studied the same spelling-book. The
jealous peace preserving officer is said to
have been quite discouraged when the
Judge dismissed Job Parker, aftee he
had piled upon him the United States Of
America. the Territory Of Iowa, Jeffer-
son County, and Locust Grove Precink,
by Judy Lemon, Junior, in his carefully
made up docket. B.

was, that the case must be disposed Of

motion to dismiss for want Of parties to
the suit The transcript of the Justice
