How LAWYER WAS OuT-LAwED BY \
SCHOOL MAsTER.-Prof Hiram Orcutt, of the
Iilden Seminary, at West Lebanon, knows a
thing or two about pianos, as a Boston deal
er can testify to his joy, and - York State"
lawyer to his chagrin When Mr.. circuit
taught school in New York town dispute
arose as to the ownership Of a piano which
one of the villagers had bought but not paid
for, and which, without paying for, he
sought to mortgage to creditor. circuit
informed the real owner in Boston, who, to
save himself, made ont a bill of sale Of the
instrument to his informant. and when the
officer and attorney came to attach the piano
the school teacher forbade them, and with
the aid of some lrishmen successfully resisted
them. He then shipped the piano by night
to Boston, and had another instrument ship
ped to him, with proper evidence that num-
her two wasn't number one.
Meanwhile the attorney raised breeze.
and everybody was up in arms about the
matter But the lawyer didn' seize the
goods. and the school master took an old
piano-number three in the transaction-and
sent it, covered, by truckman to the depot
as if to ship it To Boston. The truckman
passed the LAWYERS house and the latter said,
= Now, the time - and with an officer and
a posse repaired to the depot, where they
had an encounter with the school masters

WHAT THEY DID AFTER THE BATTLE.
Soldiers treat battle a. a matter of bust
nes>. They didn't lose any sleep on account
of it, or eat any less, if they could find any
thing to eat. They were enthusiastic over Il
victory. but didn't indulge much in heroics.
The % of january was the decisive day at
Stone River. The troops that held the point
where the Confederates made the grand at
tack. had. during the 1st and 2d up to noon,
built breastworks and erected shelters of rails
Just after noon, division after division came
and settled down like great clouds of birds,
around the breastworks The BOYS conf
IDENTIFY expressed the opinion that there was
to be music pretty soon, and wondered if
Negley's men wouldn't steal their rails. In
a few minutes one of the fercest battles of
the war was in progress, and after hours Of
fight and struggle, the whole army was
chasing the defeated Confederates. The
troops that had first occupied the point where
the battle was fought, as they passed the
general on return, heard the order, - Take
your old position and they made quick
march for their old quarters. They were
Just in time, as guards from other brigades,
were coming to take possession of the shelter
made of rails \ gentle rain commenced
falling soon after dark, and Gen. Negley
sent some to get rails to shelter headquar-
tiers. The men reported that - Palmer's''
men wouldn't let them have any rails. They
came back under orders to take them This
they proceeded to do. when they were sud
denly surrounded by regiment of bare
headed men. who took every rail back again.
Hot words and few blows followed, when
the colonel interfered He came to reproye
his men but ended. in giving them encour-
agement \ defiant message was sent TO
:. Negley'S men" and Il volunteer guard
placed on duty to repel any incidental raids
Rails were found in another direction, how
ever, and after sleeping off the fatigue and
petulance resulting from the work in battle,
Negley, men and Palmer'S men laughed
over their night quarrel- about rails. Dur
ing the night, each division discussed the
propriety of whaling the other. the men
getting more excited, perhaps. over the rail
