aot,ieD sheerer.s Little Joke.

There is an anecdote of Gotlieb
Sheerer, who. twelve years ago, was
an active Philadelphia politician, and
Vice President Dallas, which is here
first given in print. Some thirty years
ago Mr.. Dallas was counsel in a case
in Philadelphia, and Mr.. Sheerer was
called in as witness. The following
questions We're put him by Mr.. Dallas
"Mr. scheerer, were you in Harris
burg last June:"
'Iast June, did you say, Mr.. Dali
las y
Yes, last June; don't repeat my
question, but answer it."
After some moments of study the
answer came: "No, Mr.. Dallas,
was not in Harrisburg last June
t'Were you in Harrisburg last July p
He reflected again, and slowly said,
"No, Mr.. Dallas. was not in Harris
burg in july
'.Were you there in August, Mr..
Sheerer?"
The witness again meditated and
said, mo, Mr.. Dallas, was not there
in August"
"Were you there in September ?"
Here Mr.. Shecrer reflected longer
than before, and replied: "No, Mr..
Dallas, ! was not in Harrisburg in
September"
Mr.. Dallas became tired OF this
barren result, and raising his voice
said:
"Mr. Sheercr, will you tell the
court when you were in Harrisburg r.
"Mr. Dallas" said Sheercr, 81 was
never in Harrisburg in my life."
The Court, the audience and Cot
feb Sheerer enjoyed the joke, but Mr..
Dallas did not heartily psrtake of the
merriment.
