Special Correspondence.
Bland, n. NJ, Aug. 22.-An amusing
lawsuit came up for hearing yesterday
before his honor, Judge B. H. Shaw.
Joseph Routledge was charged by n
Sarah bravo, DIETER known as mill
tary Katherine), with having willfully,
maliciously and with malice afore-
thought. permitted a number of filthy
and pilfering razorback hogs to run at
large on the streets of Bland, result
ing in great pecuniary and mental in
jury to this complainant and CONTRARY
to Hoyle. or rather to the statutes in
such case made and provided. Miss
bravo, who is a blushing maiden of ali
uncertain number of summers. and
perhaps about the same number OF
winters, in her complaint prays the
honorable court that she be awarded
damage against defendant in a large
sum to be named by the court. The
court in reviewing the case stated that
in his opinion Miss bravo, etc, was
perhaps in error in asking for damage.
that according to her own statement
she had already received an adequate
amount of damage at the hands Of. OIL
rather at the shoots of the aforesaid
razorbacks and that had she asked for
repair instead of further damage the
court would have been inclined to
grant her request. That part of the
complaint having been disposed of tne
court proceeded to inform the defend
ant that there is a statutory provis.
ion which prohibits the owners of fiji
thy hogs from running at large-no,
that is not correct; what | wish III
state is hat the court called the de-
PENDANTS attention to the fact that the
filthy owners of hogs are prohibited by
the territorial statutes from running al
large. Pshaw, wrong again. Well what
the Sam hill' is the matter with this
statement anyway? Oh! ! see! 1t is
the hogs that are filthy and not theiE
owners. Be this as it may, the case
was finally dismissed at cost Of defend
ant. who agrees hat in the future, he
as owner of a lot of filthy hogs, shall
not be allowed to run at large. | an
not positive as TO the grammatical ac
curacy of this last statement, but be
ing a little short on education it is tbs
best | can do. However, the thought
wish to convey is this: Happy is he
who owneth not a razorback hog il
