A certain squire of the city, who betrays
his patriotism by presiding in a small Of
flee painted red, white and blue, had a
case before him the other day which at
tracted an unusual crowd to the temple of
justice. A young fellow was up before him,
relates the Pittsburg Dispatch, on a charge
of stealing brass, and his friends were out
in full force to see that he got a fair
show.
Before the case opened the noise and
confusion became so great that his honor
declared that the next man to indulge in
any unusual outbreak would be elected
from the room. He had hardly ceased
speaking when a young man shouted, at
the, same time waving his hat above his
head:
"Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!"
Put. him out, roared the court, and in
another instant the young man found him
self being rushed to the door. Order hav-
ing been restored once more, his honor or
dered that the prisoner be brought before
the bar for trial. The court officer hur-
riedly glanced about through the crowd
and then a great light suddenly fell upon
him.. r.,
