Some weeks since a citizen OI
Greenfield traded mule to his
neighbor for a horse, warranting
the old brayer to be sound in wind
and limb. Not 10 days had elapsed
when the mule brayed his last bray
and kicked his last kick. The for
mer owner refused TO be held re-
sponsible, and the result was law
suit, which was concluded yester-
day, in Justice Alleys court. When
the plaintiff had told what he knew,
and thought and suspected, his wife
was put on the stand, and on the
cross examination the defendants
lawyer said:
"Mrs. Smith, what did this mule
die OFF"

have swallowed hairpin ?"
"No, sir. I've counted my hair
pins, and none are missing"
"Do you ever buy poison to kill
rats ?"
"Never."
