He Got the Five,

A pretty good story on a justice OF the
peace in the city is told, and vouched
for. It seems the justice has a pasture
a little distance out OF town, and Dwight
Donnelly has a horse which occasionally
strays into the pasture. The justice
had several times found the animal
therein, and the other day he made q
trip to the pasture, and the owner of the
horse saw HIM start, suspected his mis-
sion, and followed unseen. The justice,
as he expected, found the horse in the
pasture, and endeavored to drive him
out, but the animal was obstinate, and
would not be driven. Accordingly the
justice, vexed in spirit, started back to
town. The owner Of the horse waited
until he had gotten out Of sight, entered
the pasture, caught the horse and led it
out. Then he took q round. about
course, rode rapidly toward town,
