and the other day, as he was in at

solicited an interview with him.
One Of them, when admitted to his
presence and asked to state his case,
complained of q pain in his chest,
whereupon he was asked to take of
his shirt, and was then subjected to a
careful examination. But before the
Doctor sat down to write his pre-.

In a small town not many miles
from Erie, Pa, there was a case be-
fore the Justice OF the Peace that was
settled very summarily.
1t appears that a Mr.. Jones had
beaten Mr.. Browns dog with a club
for chasing his chickens. They met
at the Office Of the Justice, each &C.
companied by a lawyer, and bound to
see the thing through, no matter
what 1t cost. AS Jones and Brown
were prominent citizens of the town,
large crowd assembled at the trial,
expecting to hear some great oratory
rom the lawyers.
The Justice was a very pompous
and ignorant old fellow, who was
great on big words, no matter wheth-
er appropriate or not. The case was
called, the witnesses who had seen
the clubbing gave their testimony,
and Jones' lawyer arose to open for
his client, when the Justice said:
Hold on, Mr.. Lawyer, there Is nc
use argifying or condisputing about
the matter, as there is no case of as
sessity for it. Mr.. Jones was highly
unwrong In beating Mr.. Browns dog,
