CLEAR HEADED JUsTICE.-Quite an anus
ing circumstance transpired at Tehama the

fore one of the Justices of the Peace of that
township, in which suit there was involved
a sum considerable less than thousand dol
lars, and on which was engaged, of course,
attorneys for both plaintiff and defendant.
The testimony was duly put in and the
aforesaid attorneys severally poured forth
thier logic and eloquence for the enlghtep-
ment Of the Court The closing attorney
made o two hours speech which was listen
ed to with due attention aud respect; but
on the attorneys commencing to wade into
the third hour, with no signs of stopping,
the Court began to be restless in his seat,
and gave 'yawning" signs Of impatience.
The counsel observing this, remarked TO
the Court that "he had but few more
words to say, and would not tire the pa
tience of the Court but few moments
longer" 30, go on, go on, remarked the
Court, "it won't make any difference

Vocal ExERcIsE.--I will here introduce
fact which has been suggested 10 me by
my profession, and that is, that the exercise
of the organs of the breast by singing, con-
tributes very much to defend them from
those diseases to which the climate and
other causes expose them. The Germans
are seldom afflicted with consumption, nor
have ever known one instance of splitting
blood among them. This, believe, is in
part occasioned by the strength which their
lungs acquire by exercising them frequent
ly in vocal music, for this constitutes an
essential branch of their education.-.IDr.
