The troubles Of Johnstown.

a part OF the petty troubles Of
Johnstown we're aired in Justice. Ben
nington's court this morning. In the
absence of Justice Amos the case of
the State against Mrs. Ella Smedley
for the alleged whipping OF Glenn

court of the above named magistrate.
After the troubles were thoroughly
aired the Justice fined the defendant
Eve. dollars and costs which was paid.
It is reported that this is just the
beginning OF a series of cases which
viii come up before the local justices
from this suburb The other side will
likely be the defendants in the next
cases. The trouble started over a
chicken coop.

They Didn't Observe.

Gentlemen, We dinna use your fax
ulties of obsairyation." said the old
Scotch professor. addressing his class.
Here he pushed forward gallipot con-
tanning a chemical compound of ex-
ceedingly offensive smell.
"When | was a student" he contin-
ued, Il used my sense of taste. sac"
And with that he dipped his finger into
the sallipot and put his finger into his
mouth. taste it, gentlemen: taste it, y
said the professor, and exercise your
perceptive fakulties.'
The galiipot was pushed toward the
reluctant class. One by one the stu
dents resolutely dipped finger into
the abominable connection and with
many wry face sucked the abomina-
ton from their fingers.
"Gentlemen gentlemen" said the pro
fessor. Il must repeat that ye dinna
use your fakuties of obSairvation, for
if We had looked mair closely at what
was daein' the moo We would hae
obsairved that the finger which l put
into ma mooth was nae the finger that
l dipped into tile gallipot"'

n. Doctors Amdavit.

An amusing incident occurred not
long ago in certain police court. Two
men were summoned for being drunk.
Rising to speak on their behalf, their
solicitor said. "My clients can prove
that they were sober. Upon being told
by the police That they would be sum-
moned they at once went of to be ex-
amined by doctor. and l hold In my
hand a letter from him which. with
your worship's permission, l will now
read to the court
Instantly the solicitor on the other
side sprang to his feet and protested
against the admission Of such letter
as evidence The objection was held
to be Il good one; but. the evidence
against the men being deemed INSULT
cient in other respects, the case was
dismissed. Had the letter been admit
ted they would undoubtedly have been
convicted, for their legal representa-
tive had simply "bluffed" the court.
The letter from the doctor ran as fol-
lows: The two defendants came to
me- and regret to say that l found
that they were both very drunk. y
