Moses, on a collecting tour. Will,
the merchants clerks were on their
rounds presenting their little bills
as tho year drew near its close, the
ex.comptroller thought it q good time
to look after that little balance re.

enough to characterize the purpose
of tho visit in such language as it

and the nerve for tho occasion.
Whipping out his collecting irons
he let fly, once, twice, or may be
thrice, and Africa inoontinently boat
retreat, taking refuge behind the
Gubcrnatorial robes. Such scone
was never enacted in our one
horse town before, and there was
imminent danger lest the castle it,
self should be stormed. But

IN THE SMALL TEMPLE OF JUSTICE,
where Honest John was recently SO
triumphantly vindicated by the
oaths of Worthington, Windsor, Gum
and others, Neaglo felt disgustcd
and dissatisfied. He had not re-

brought down his man he was not
admitted into the august presence of
the royalty within; ho had been
arrested ;hc was held 10 bail. His

and his feelings broke out in ex.

being due in Charleston on Wcdnes~
day afternoon, he was in q quandary
about how to reach the depot in
safety the next morning. The last
seen of him here was on tho way
down, guarded by the shorif, Don't,
and his son. Dent is plucky man,
and Moses is on his bond. Hc con.
ductcd the head of tho State in
safety, and the City by the Sea, no
doubt, enjoyed tho favor of his
sophomorical addresses during tho
holidays. Dents son made dis ;los

and this time held to bail in the
sum of $4,000. Still he was not

slaughter, He started to take tho
night train for Charleston, but

current that the .ox.comptroller,
reaching the depot, and not finding
the object of his wrath, compromised
tho situation and cooled his excited
feelings by kissing one of Africa's
dushy daughters who happened to tc
standing oppor,uncly in tho way of
receiving tho embrace, thus verifying
tho old connection as sung by poets
between love and war. But for this
cannot vouch. OBSERVER.
