a COURT INCIDENTAL rather lJTiiCroHs
affair occurIed during the late session Of the
Cambria County Court. A witness residing
IN an adjoining county was sabpeenaed to
attend the Court, without obeying, and an
attachment WAS awarded to bring his body,
''0olus 6Olus," as Gen. Taylor once said.-
The deputy, in VII ose hands the process OF
the Court had been placed, ignorant Of his
powers In the premises, sought the recusant
witness. and in vain endeavored to inceigle
him to accompany him. The witness de
nanded the days of grace, and protested
against coming.
The Teutouic deputy returned and repor.
Od to his Honor that he had found the wit
ness, but that he was unwilling to come
The Judge rebuked him and told him his
duty to bring, ''peaceably if he could

Ger again sought the witness, and this time
threatened him with his power. The wit
ness, without getting into hl1' cOolIy bided
his time, and taking the hapless Teeton at
an advantage, bound him hand and foot, as
did the Philistines with Sampson of old, and
laid hlm on the floor. The amazed deputy
loudly demonstrated against this new method
of Laying down the law," and made sundry
threats that as the Commonwealth was bound
hand and foot in his sacred person, the mis-
chievous witness shoold be bound ovcr' to
answer, etc.
Finally, the deputy grew more tranquil
the witness checked his mischievous dIsposi-
ton, q compromise was effected, and the
twain iourneyed together to EbensEurg-
the deputy on his arrival showing "on hi.
face" that he was at considerable discount
while the witness displayed his usual good
humor and was none the worse for the jar
