recently at that "vewy eccsnswid place
called "Buzzard's Glors, q western town Of
some celebrity. The individuels engaged in
feeling for each others bumps,7 in this az
fray, are in the habit, q appears, Of aston
ishing their internal arrangements with
"exlracts from old rye, and had on the oc-
cassion in question, parlaken rather freely
of the distillation Of % hundred Yards
which caused a terrific oommotion In tbe ar
rangements referred TO- A dispute ensues;
the contest "wsxeth wEathy" Smith, with
a vehemenoe that would have immortaliaed

johnson. The latter retaliates by coupling
Smiths maternity with that Of very dis

This is too heavy for the representative of
the house Of Smith, and in order to avengs
the indignity of his birth, as we'll as pre-

large quantity of the essenes Of elarot from
that organ, and slightly enlArging its dimen-

The secoud round, johnson comes up TO
the scratch in good time, and andsavOra to.
throw Smith of his guard By feigning to be
used up, fact which soon proved to be a
reality. But Smith is not 70 caught in this
way for, seeing the ruse Of his adversary,

The fourth and last round told feArfully
upon the physique of johnson who, al.
