A few weeks ago q judge in an Eastern
town was called out of his bed one morn
ing by several vigorous raps upon his
door. Hastily dressing himself, he found
upon the steps an uucouth, roughly-clad
boy with an ak over bis shoulder, who,
thrusting his hand into his pantaloons
pocket, drew out 3 small roll, and hand
ing il to Judge II said
'sTheres seventy five dollars, which
want you to put in the savings bank,
and turned and started away.
The judge, slightly disconnected at the
curious proceedings. scarcely knew what
10 say; at length, recovering his wits, he
cried after the boy. ..Stopl come back
here. How did you come By this
money!

Webster Patched By a Woman.

In the somewhat famous case Of Mrs.

Supreme Court some years ago, Mr..
Webster appeared as counsellor for the
appellant. Mrs Greenough, wife OF Rev.
William Greenough, late of West Newton,

with keen black eye--a woman OF self

first question put to her, II believe,
Webster roared out, 1--WE don't want
to hear what you believe; we want to

Mrs. Greenough replied, "'fhat is
what was about 10 say, sir" and went
on with her testimony.
"And, Notwithstanding his repeated
efforts to disooncert her, she pursued the
even tenor of her way, until Webster, be-
coming quite fearful of the result, arose
apparently in great agitation, and draw.

he brought it to the front, he blew his
nose with report that rang distinct and

The roar Of the courthouse was such
that the defender Of the Constitution sub

until after Mrs. Greenough vacated her
