A Court INcIDENT.-The amusing little
incident here related actually took place in
one of our northern court rooms not more
than century ago:
Enter juror, (who has detained the court
at least an hour.)
Judge-(much irritated) )-"Mr. Clerk, en-
ter fine of twenty five dollars against Mr..
Smith,"
Smith" Did Understand your Honor to
fine me twenty-five dollars ?"
Judge" Yes, sirl"
Smith draws his pencil and addresses the
following note to his Honor:
"DEAR JUDGE-That little difference, upon
winding up our last game of draw"
amounted to just fifty, pay the clerk twenty
FIVE, and hand the balance to the sheriff
Yours, &C., SMITH"
(Sheriff hands note to Judge, who inspects
1t for moment. The judicial frown gives
place to a most benevolent and satisfied
smile as his Honor stammers) )-"Ah-yes |
certainly, yes--palid excuse! !-.certainly--vALID

GEN. ScoTr is the largest man in the
American service. He is six feet six inches

his health is good, and his whole system is
apparently vigorous-much of which is
owing doubtless to his very temperate

has made the military superior to and
above the civil power; has assumed to reg

of the State; has seized upon and appropri-
ated our railroads and telegraphs; has seiz-

their arms; has seized and transported our
citizens to other States for trial upon char
