MOUNT HOLLY.
Ira is on the war path. He has smoked
the pipe of peace and exchanged work with
friend Noel till he thinks forbearance has
ceased to be virtue. So he brought Mr..
Allen before justices Harrington and Lord
on Monday last to say why the court house
shouldn't fall down on him, in other words
why he shouldn't pay him what he owes
him. But Nod claimed there were divers
defects in Vie's book keeping and that his
account put an entirely different face on
the matter, in short that Mr.. Martin owed
him instead of vice versa. So there was
swearing and swearing pro ct con, till one
was just little reminded of the school-day
paradox of the irresistible force coming in
contact with the immovable body. The
decision of the case was LETT with the court
who in the style of Nelson and Brady re-
served its decision till next week. The
trial lasted nearly all day and was argued
by f. c. Robbins of Ludlow for Plaintiff
and Joel w. Ainsworth of Wallingford for
defendant.
