WEBSTER'S REPORTS,

One evening not many years ago.
while the Supreme Court was holding
the session in Somerset County, somo
of the legal brethren were warming
their legs before a blazing FIRE in 4
rural tavern, and conversing upon var.
ious matters pertaining to the profes.
sion. B. j. Bacon, whose long silence
indicated that his mind was in travail
with great thought, broke out by ask
ing if any Of his brethren could havo
relieve him from his trouble.
81 WISH" said he to commence an
action against boy who was caught
stealing apples. I find no case of the
kind in any of the Reports, and I am
at a loss for precedent"
The land overheard the question,
and informed the verdant that he knew
case just in point.
"Oh!" said Bacon, "in whose Re.
ports shall find it !"
"In Webstcr's" said the landlord
gravely.
"Webster's Reports Well, now you
speak Of it, I think / do remember
something likeit there. you know
the volume 7"
eyes I do; I have copy in the
house if you would like to see it,"
81 would be greatly obliged to you
for it, as l have left mine at home.
The landlord stepped out, and soon
returned with Webster's Spelling Bookt
and turning to the story--"An old
man found rude boy on, one of his
trees stealing apples," passed the book
to his legal friend, who threw it into
the fire, in midst of roars of laughter,
and spendily made his appearance.

GOOD OLD TIMES.

Uncle Dad Morton, of Vermont, tells
the following story:
"Them ancestors Of our'n didn't do
nothin' Railways. But there's n awful
fallin' off since them times. WHY, in
my time when was boy, things went
on moro economical than now. We all
work'd. My work was to take care of
the hens and chickings. dad is fami.
Gus for his handling of tho alphabet, }
and III tell you how / raised en-
You know Use very thinking child,
alas thinkin' 'cept when las asleep.
Well it came to me one night to raise
big lot of chickings from one hen,
and III tell ye how I did it. took
an old whisky barrel and filled it up
with fresh egss, and then put it on tho
south side of the barn, with some horse
manure around it, and then set the
old hen on the bung hole. The old
critter kept her sittin', and in three
weeks heerd little peep Then l
put my car to the spigot, when tho
peoping growed like swarm of bees.
didn't say anything to the folks about
the Matching, for they'd all the time
told me l was fool, but the next NOR.
min l knocked the head out of tho
barrel, and covered the barn floor, two
feot deep, all over with little chickings.
Now, you may laugh as much as YOU
please, but it's true"
