Out of Jurisdiction.

A good story is told of Vermont ex-
judge and ex-member Of congress. The
latter held court in Essex county, when
a long standing case il. which an espec-
tally sharp lawyer had been engaged
was heard. The judge ruled the law
points against the lawyer in question, and
be lost the case After tea the coun-
sellOr, who was staying at the same inn
in Guildhall with the judge, approached
the latter and invited him to take a
drive, and the judge accepted. A few
minutes behind a good trotter took
them over the line into New Hamshire,
when the attorney turned to bis conn
panion and said: "Judge, I presume,
now we are in New Hampshire. we are
peers?' The court assented Well"
rejoined the lawyer you old fool,
how came you to decide that case
against me?" and expanding u part of
his temper upon the innocent animal
that drew the carriage, he sped away
from the line of Vermont increasing his
vituperation with the distance from the
judges jurisdiction. Finally, exhausted,
he turned bis horse and drove back to
Guildhall. As the horses hoofs sounded
on the bridge which brought the riders
again in the Green Mountain state the
now serene, lawyer gracefully raised his
hat and said; Judge, we had very
pleasant ride together. I am greatly
obliged for your company, and hope at
some future occasion to have the honor
of a drive with you again.

There may sometimes be met in the

the other an apple-munching urchin.

thereby hangs a tale Attic time of

notified her that of course she would
regard the engagement as cancelled.

replied. "What, marry a ne-legged

'loca! paper, she was not reduced to
that. James has a good cork leg, a

COmbatiYe Utah Ants.

Among the many curiosites of Utah,
the red and black ant is excelled by
none. One of those ants, weighing
only one-fourthr Of a grain, troy, can
draw four grains, or sixteen times its
own weight, with apparent ease. AS a
warrior, its courage is wonderful. The
other day / witnessed an attack Of four
ants, one after another, on green
worm, and each retired from the con-
f1ict badly wounded, the worm resisting
the attack vigorously. The wounded
ants meeting companions, reported
their troubles, and soon seven ants we're
seen advancing in line Of battle on
his wormship, when hard battle took
place. The worm made frantic efforts
to relieve himself, but all IN vain. In
one minute from the time OF the attack
the worm was lifelesS, the ants still
holding to him. I placed them IN water,
when to all appearances they becan
lifeless, but still held their. grip on tho
worm. | then placed them in the warm
rays Of, the sun for ten minutes, when
they were all right again, and hauled
their victim off to their Hill. q..

The relative strength of the con-
tending clubs is mot fairly shown BY
the result of this match the Assnmp-
ton players have been without prac-
tice fer nearly two yeats, and the
Furnishes were short of two or three
OF their best members. Another thing
which initiated against good play
was the want of a Draper ball. Hhe
only kind procurabie IN town was the
junior ball, much too light and too
easily batted out of shape. Two Of
these were used during the game and
both sadly defnoraiized. The Burn
side club will probably visit Pain
coartville next Sunday TO play re-
turn game with the Modocs, and a
better trial of skill may then be ex-
pected. Tie Assumption nine is a
strong one, and when in practice our
Donalslsonville boys will fluid it a
difficult task TO cope with them suc-
ccssfully.
