An unfortunate affair came off at

Friday night the 9th ultimo, in which

down, and wait for order to be restored.
Ho was interrupted in this
manner for two or 4a three
times, whom some one in5'otbs
audience suggested that Mr.. Dougber-

Dougherty took the chair, and mani
tested some disposition to keep order.
Mr.. Clay now resumed his address but
this time was disturbed more than
ever by boots and yells, andthe throw
ing of pieces ofcandles and paper balls.
Finding that it was impossible for
him to be heard, Mr. Clay took up his
books and papers, and started for home.
He had proceeded some two hundred
yards from the sehool-house, when he
heard some person inquiring for him

observed two men approaching him.

Jersey AnecdOte.

Boou many yePFS ago, y nan btole
a COW from Morristown, N. J, and drove
her to Philadelphia for sale. She was
a common cow enough, except that she
had lost all her tail butabout six inches.
The thief, fearing by the shortness Of
her tail he might be traced, had pro-
cured in some way, probably from a
slaughter house, another cows tail,
which he fastened so ingeniously to the
short tail that it was not TO be, known
that it had not regularly grown there.
As soon as the Jerseyman missed his
COW, he set off for Philadelphia, think
ing she would probably be carried
there for sale; and it happened that
when he came to the ferry he got into
the same boat that was conveying over
his COW and the follow that stole her.
As it was natural that he should have
his thoughts very much upon cows, he
soon began TO look at this one with
great attention. She was indeed very
much like his COW, he thought. Her
marks agreed wonderfully, and she
had exactly the same expression Of face;
but then the expression Of her tail was
so very different. 1t must be supposed
that the new owner of the COW felt
rather uncomfortable during this sx-
animation, for he soon saw that this
was tie person whose property he had
stolen, and he was very uneasy lest he
should take hold of the tail which he
looked at so continually. Upon the
whole, he thought it best to direct his
attention in some way, If possible,
and therefore stepped up to him and
said:
sNeighbor, this is fine COW Of mine;
won't you buy her2 You seem to know
what good COW is"
"Oh, dear mel' said the other, II
have just had such cow stolen from
me" 'A' tL
"Well," said the thief, "I'm sorry to
hear they've got to stealing cattle, but
I'll sell off, and you could not better
replace your loss than by buying this
COW; | will warrant she's AZ good nj
yours" ...ras. g-. ga..
srWhy," sald the Jerseyman, she wai
exactly like this COW, only that sho had
no tail to speak of; and if this ono had
not such long tail, Id swear it wa,
my cow" 600 --a slH gou.1.l
Everybody now began TO took AtthS
cows tail, but the thief stood nearer tC
it than anybody, and taking hold of il
so as just to cover splicing with hiI
left hand, and, with a jack knife in hiI
right hand pointing to the tail, he said
$50 if this cows tail were only so long
you'd swear she was yours2"
That l would" said the other, who
began to be very much confused at tn,
! perfect resemblance to his cow, excsp
in this one particular, when the thief
with sudden cut of the knife, took of
the tail just about an inch above thi
splicing, and, throwing il overheard
bloody as IL was, turned to the Other
and said; "Now Swsar'it's your COW.
