The night was dark and stormy. The
wind walled through the tops of the
trees and whistled through the easement,
as the driving rain pattered against the
window pane.
Justice Sutton sat by radiant fire
burning in his bran new coal stove. He
was gently stroking his luxuriant beard
and meditating upon the uncertainty CT
ali things human, when his reyerie was
suddenly broken by loud and impera-
1--WE rap at the door. 1iGIo.- =
Some wayfarer seeking a shelter,
thought the hospitable squire, and
opened the door, when in walked man
whose nose and general appearance indi-
Gated that he had been having an inti-
mate introduction TO some ones fist
The papers were what he wanted, and
he must have theml and nolD. He had
been fearfully and unjustly wronged
down at the bay, the Egypt OF Chetoy-
GAN" and all about corn; knocked down,
thrown into the lake; papers he must
have, and he swung his hands high in
the air and close to the'squire's head,in his
fierce gesticulations and denunciations
of those who had wroiiged him.
Fully understanding the CALCULATIONS
and gestures of the stranger, and putting
on look of wisdom such as is only ac-
quired by Police Justice after long and
patient practice, His Honor said: 1.-The
dignity of the law must be preserved. 1
am simply the custodian of justice, and
not the prosecutor Of injustice. 1t is not
the province of this court to investigate
the terrible wrongs under which you
suffer until properly brought before it
by the Prosecuting Attorney, and even
then am only simply to adjudicate them
and see that justice is triumphant. Go,
therefore, to Humphrey and tell him
your wrongs as to a father. 1t is to him
that the people of this noble county
have contided the enforcement of the
| law. | have no doubt that he will assist
you"
Having thus enlightefed the much
suffering man. with an imperious wave
of the hand he turned him out into the
night. Nothing more has been heard OIL
or from him.
A TRIBUNE reporter went on tour OF
investigation the next morning, and all
that he could ascertain that would seem
TO have anv bearing on the case was, that

the other or not we leave the reader tO

Harl,or Petition.

The Charlevoix Sentinel notices that a
petiti0n to Congress foran appropriation
of $5O,OOJ for the Improvement Of that
harbor is in circulation in that village.
The preamble to the petition.argues that
no appropriations by the General Gov
ernment are more urgently needed or
more amply justified by considerations
of the public interest or the established
policy of the Government, than those
which lessen the expense and perils of
commerce. That comparatively light
outlay would render the mouth OF Pine
River, in Charlevoix county, one of the
most useful and Perfectly land locked
harbdrs iii the whole course of naviga-
tidn through the great lakes.

"I will go to my tent and lie down in despair,

blows,
And reveal to the God of the te1 pest my

Talk about the yowling of a cat, and
tell us of all the horrid sounds, and of
the sleepless nights when they are
around; of the bootjacks you would shy
at them i'm the dead of the night, hoping
that Won had killed one or two or all the
eats in the United States. Get mad and
tell it to us in such an earnest manner
that it would be utterly impossible not
to fully comprehend the state of mind
you are in, bordering nearly on insanity;
and when you get through just keep
quiet long enough for me to tell you a
thing or two, and will tell you tale
worth two of that, and if you don't
think ! am a fit subject for the mad
house, about the time get through, you
may a. least believe that am very much
out of temper.
do not believe there is any language
that will fully describe the sensations of
person trying to sleep with cow ly-
ing just in front of your house in the
dead of night chewing her cud with
bell OH her neck. I have thought it all
over and looked up Webster, and l cam
not find any words that will express the
maledictions 1 would hurl at THAT cow,
that could fully express my feelings to-
wards her or any other cow, or the Com
mon Council of any village in any civil
lied country that would allow cows to
run at large.

the everlasting whanging of cow bell
just under his window and not curse just
a little.
