1--WE Rest.".-We have often heard this
term used by counsel in court, but never knew
its precise meaning until we happened into
the court room last Tuesday forenoon. Some
one said that no case was ready for trial, con-
sequently no business was being done, and we
could see at once that the language of the
scene within was eve rest" The. Judge. was
tracing carricature Of Maud Muller on a

Remsburg was balancing himself on the water
tank with his hands, a poetic performance
which he styled motion on den1urr. Lem
on was intently investigating the compIi-
Gated machinery Of a second hand Jews harp,
to discover if possible an infringement of suf-
fcient Importance to warrant lawsuit. Fin

repose, aud was making an industrious effort
to extract the juice from paddock key, while
at intervals he encouraged Remsbarg to great
er physical exertion. The other attorneys
we're engaged in various characteristics pas
times, and the whole made clear as sunlight
the strict meaning Of the term, 1--WE rest"

appeared from our public places We saw If,
the other day, and its melancholy appearance
had Fuch a depressing influence on our feel

uncertain stability it hangs, performing no 9TH

It hangs in a solitary mournful kind Of g way,
and seems to say to the particles of dust that
float about, that extra Inducements are offered
to actual settlers. Such fragments Of real
estate as are reckless as to the reputation Of q
location, will settle, others viii seek one with
a more cheering prestige. There it viii hang,
solitary and alone, until attacked by disinte-

Reastly.-The perilous adventures which
cows in public life sometimes experience, was
foreibly illustrated last Sabbath in the case qf
well known and much respected white bos-

oriDg TO effect locomotion under circumstances
exceedingly vexatious and irving to the fine
feelings of a sensitive and Sabbath observing
animiie. At the precise moment when the
alarming symptoms Of her situation were bal

vaciously at the other haiti, and at the same
time was enjoying free ride on his launches,
the motive power that propelled him existing
in his obstinate hold of the cows tail. Two
noble Newfoundland pets, one on each side,
had hold ofan ear, and escorted her ii a pen
sive and dignifed manner. An ambitious ter
rier had.appurently scented a rat up her nos /
tril, and was making spasmodic attempt to
crawl in. In order to give zest and energy
to the proceedings, about twenty-seven other
CANNES, of varied sizes and capa abilities, were
wildly dancing about, making an uproarous
noise, but too tiDid to grab hold, and too
proud to leave and not participate, in remote
way, in the festive occasion The proceed
