As Coon AS A FARcE.-The spectators in
the Supreme Court On Monday afternoon,
were entertained with as interesting exhibit
ton as was ever witnessed within the walls Of
a theatre. A witness in the pauper case, then
ON trial, was placed upon the stand. None Of
the extravagant descriptions of the Yankee
ever came up to the actual appearance and
character of this original specimen of the
country yeoman. 1t was long while before
he could find out where he resided at the time
the war commenced, and then he was not quite
certain. On cross examination the fact was
developed that the witness with his family of
ten children, together with his wife and the
town paupers whom they took to board at the
expense Of the town, resided in a house hav-
ing but one finished room and that room an
swered all the purposes of kitchen, bedroom
and sitting-room. No description can do ade.
quate justice to the ludicrous answers. awk-
