Cmsar,s Dream.

A queer old Dutchman by the name
Of Y. A. II. Caesar, who lived in New
Albany, used to come to our part of
country Lawrence county, Ind.), buy
cattle and drive them to New Albany
and Louisville. On q certain occasion
he bought some cattle of Ari Arm
miles from Bedford. Caesar, In taking
away his drove, let one Of Armstrong;
calves follow the cattle off. Armstrong
sued the Dutchman and made him pay
very big fine for the calf. Armstrong
being member of the church and q
very wealthy farmer, the old Dutchman
being poor, had few friends, and could
scar cely speak English so as to be un-
derstood, it was an easy matter to get
Judgment. After this, it appears that
Armstrong sold the Dutchman some
mules, and on delivery swindled old
Caesar out of $3.50. CAESAR sued Arm
strong, and, seeing how he Jared in his
former suit, he employed one. of the
most influential attorneys of the bar
who took great deal of pains to have
was not so big a fool but what he could
see the prejudice in favor of the rich
man, but his lawyer made out his case
in spite of the prejudice, and Arm
strong was obliged to pay over the $3.50.
Caesar wanted to rebuke the court and
the church for trying to shield rich
man; so, on meeting a neighbor of
Armstrong, whom he knew would tell
Armstrong, church and court, he said:
