Legal Verbiage.

In suit recently brought in the Su-
preme Court of Troy, N. Y, to recover
damages for the bite of dog the fol
lowing answer has been served by a well
known member of the legal fraternity
of that city: And the defendant fur
ther answers that at the time mentioned
in the complaint the plaintiff, with
sundry other unruly and boisterous
youths, was throwing snowballs in the
immediate vicinity of the defendant IS
house, and thereby endangering its safe
ty and that of its inmates; and there
upon the defendant expostulated with
said plaintiff, and requested him in a
mild and gentlsmanly manner to desist !;
but the plaintiff, refusing to observe the
defendants request, and moved and in
stigated by the devil, thereupon made
an assault upon this defendant and upon
his dog, which was providentially pres
emit, and threw and inpelled stone at
the latter, whereupon the said dog, in
self-defense, as he lawfully might for
the cause aforesaid, instinctively resent
ed the attack upon himself, and play
fully and slightly inserted his teeth in
and upon the person of the plaintiff,
doing him no unnecessary damage, nor
any damage beyond what was good for
him which are the same supposed tres
passes mentioned in the complaint.

The Story of a Russian Princess.

A young Russian has for some years
been prosecuting his chemical studies
at the University of Leipsic with unusu-
81 zeal. The young man, of an aristo-
cratic exterior, made friends of all who
came in contact with him. Recently
he passed a most brilliant examination,
which was rewarded with the dignity of
master of arts. Soon thereafter young
lady called on one of the most promi-
nent professors of the university, adj
dressing the celebrated savant in the
following words: 81 desire, professor,
before depart from Leipsic, to express
to you my most hearty thanks" The
professor, perfectly astoaished, OBJ
served: Thanks, but for what"
"Listen, sir. 1 was married to the old
Prince -. My husband died some
years ago. He died insolvent, so that 1
was left even without the daily bread. 1
resolved to seek the necessary means of
subsistence in science" The professor
then interrupted her, saying: "Yes,
most gracious lady, nevertheless 1 can
not see why you should address any
thanks to me-" The lady continued:
"Observe, then, it is now more than
three years, that here, in Leipsic, L
have been a student. The student who
lately passed the examination, and
whom you consider worthy of dis
tinction, is none other than myself. -
