Duff Green's United States Telegraph.
This journal was then an ardent sup

the first presidential term of the old

United States judge for the district Of

shooting for beef. Colonel Yell asked
them if they would allow bin to take
part in what he called their "game."

quarters of beef. He then inquired
"Who are the poorest families ~ the

horses they soon arrived at camp
meeting on the wayside. There they
tarried several hours. When the
competitor thought it was about time
to be moving on, he searched all over
the camp-ground for Colonel Yell, but
could not find him. At length he
went up near the altar, and there
found Colonel Yell singing at the top
of his voice: How Firm Founda-

A Hard Master.

Here is a curious story from England
''AIr. Monckton, J. p, of Fineshad Alb
hey, charged, at Oundle Petty Sessions
George Gardiner, tutor in his family
with stealing beer to the value oi
Cd. Gardiner, it appears, went into
the cellar without the buffers permis-
sion. He was sentenced to six weeks
Imprisonment, with hard labor The
essence Of the crime for which this un-
fortunate tutor is now suffering hard
labor seems to be that he drew the beer
himself, instead of asking the butler to
do so. Here is a gentleman of educa-
tion residing in the house of another
gentleman. He is thirsty, and being
beer drinker, consumes a small amount
of that liquor. That the owner of the
house might have suggested to him that
he would do well to ring for glass in
stead of troubling himself to get it, one
can understand, but that he should have
prosecuted him, and that his brother
have condemned him to six
weeks hard labor, is almost Incredible.
