An Englishman and German were
travelling together in diligence, and
both were smoking. The German did
all In his power to draw his compan.
ion into conversation, but all to no
purpose. At one moment he would,
with superabundance Of politeness,
apologize for drawing his attention to
the fact that the ash of his cigar had
fallen on his waistcoat or a spark was

length the Englishman exclaimed:

HE FL0URISHED A GUN.

For some time past the family affairs
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Dan. Oar ter, in this vii.
lage, have not been upon as peaceful a
footing as should be. Family rows
have been frequent and hard words
freely exchanged. On Thursday of last
week matters waxed warmer than usual
and Daniel proceeded TO draw gun,
which he flourished promiscuously in the
air, thereby greatly alarming his better
half, who hied herself TO Justice Chad
wick and swore out warrant for her
bloodthirsty spouse's arrest on the
charge of unlawful use of firearms. I'm.
dersheriff Button served the warrant
and took Daniel TO Ithaca, where he
was confined until Tuesday, when the
examination was held before the justice
Mrs. Carter at that time relenting and
evidently being OF the opinion that her
recreant husband had been sufficiently
punished, requested that the charge be
withdrawn, whereupon Justice Chad
wick complied and the prisoner was
acquitted.
