Che Sheriff an hundred dollars for report
ing the ColouePs fort impregnable, to stant
himself invincible, and his forces deter
mined to him, to a dog! He then ad
journed court, 'until the nuisance could b
abated' -
Az soon asthe Colonel perceived that b
had stopped all legal proceedings, he sus
pended his blasts, and dealt out double ra
tiohs to his forces. From one of bis port
holes, in front, observing that the Judg'
was strolling about on the square, and tha
the Sheriff was consulting with dozer
friends; he watched his opportunity, horl
in hand he slipped out, unperceived excep
BY friends, and reached his steed, which
was tied insthe bushes near by. Mounting
sHell,' he sblew blast so loud and long,
that every hound responded at once; and il
a moment more, dashed in upon the square
with his followers in full cry! Here b
went, slike mad,' now clearing an old wo
man and her cake stand at a jump, and nov
bounding lightly over group of half doz
en- on fallen log. Ye gods how the crowt
scattered Espyiug the Judge, he dashed
up to him-circled round him, in Camanch'
style, and blowing his horn the while, evoked
the most hideous howls from his troop
Round and round he dashed-the Judg'
petrifed in the centre, paved, mouthed ant
smelled of by the hounds, and stunned I
overpowered, by their hideous din! New

ermine so villianeously de6led! 81
Having accomplished his purpose o
'bedevilling Judge, who had the reputa
tion of beinga Martinez, Jim retreated, il
good order, from the square to the thicke
at the back of the court house. He knew
what would follow, and fully prepared for it
He had procured him whiskey barre
minus one head, and foot or so above
the bung hole, had cut an opening about 81,
inches in diameter. By small cords, b
had attached to the outside of the, barre
two large bundles of fodder, fragrant o
old stove-pipe and three superanuated cot
fee pots.
As soon as Jim had left the square, th'
Judge, ordered the Sheriff to summon {
possce, and take him, at risks-and the Sher
if instantly summoned twenty or thirty o
the hundreds who had horses hitched on th'
square, and ordered them into line to receive
his directions. The Jud &c borrowed
pony to go along, and see his mandate ex
ecuted. -
Jim, who had been watching their ope
rations slyly, as soon as they seemed nearly
complete, blew blast, mounted 'hell,' anc
drawing the barrel up after him placed il
over himself, and taking the reins through
the hole, rode leisurely on, till in view o.
the sherif7s squad, when, with loud toot
howl from his dogs, the rustling of his
fodder, the clang of his coffee-pots, and the
sonorous, gong notes of his stove-pipe, he
charged, at full speed upon the Sheriff and
his possee con,itatus
Talk Of May! Talk of Murat!-There
was never charge so reckless or effective
as Jim Fielder's charge upon the Sheriff
and his squad! E :
Toot! toot! toot bang + clang! bang
howl howl howl! and he was in their
midst The horses of the squad, madden
ed with fright, reared and plunged, and Ell,
ther threw their. riders, or dashed off with
them precipitately from the field. The
horses hitched about at racks and trees,
participated in the panic, and in five seconds
there was universal stampede.
The Judges pony dashed off with aspeed
that was highly credible to his short legs
and Indian origin and after him the Col.
onel dashed, with all his dreadful din, in
full blast! On, on, on, on |! at killing lick
Down, down the hill to the old lanyard =
where suddenly, Judge and ponyGud tight
ft in an ancient, but not inordorous vat!
Satisfed-almost-with his victory, our
hero charged back to otown-putting to flight
every equine, of which he came in view
and leaping his horse into the piazza of a
grocery pitched his barrel through the win
dow upon the head, and other tangible
property of the proprietor-like Tightening,
passed in at one door and out at another
and whoopiug at the top of his voice, rode
furiously out of town.
ng That Judge hasen't been on that cir
cult since!
Could NOT HAVE THE GOSPEL FOR Fox
Es.-That was a novel but not so bad an
argument which the member argued in the
Kentucky Legislature:
A few years ago bill proposing pre-
MUM on fox scalps was under discussion
