'■'AnntJifr Ontniijf.—A number of per
sons iu disguise forcibly entered the house
of Hiram Shaw, a Justice of the Pcace in
the town of IJerlin, Hensselaer county, on
Saturday night last, dnujfjnJ him from fn'i^
hoi, a)uf, after carri/i)i(/ him nfjme flvr
mi/cs, fiin'cil aittf fealhertd him in fhe
moxt bntfal vianner. When fhe ruffians
left him he was so much exhausted that
he Was helpless; and but that two of his
iuMi.
That was enufl; I had ;illers waiiteil fo
hit a tall man, and “Forty-foot” was the
highest I had ever seen. So 1 goes u]>
and jags him in the short ril-s. Se.s he:
“t^uit Ilucks!—you are a fo(»l!”
A\ell, upon that I digs info him agin.
(11, then at la.'t Mister Houston gets
mud, and takes me by the two arms, and
gives me a shake that made my teeth
chatter and my eyes strike fire, and he
hands me over the feiicc to a c(uistabl“,
and he takes me down to Sabett’s cross
roads, where the Court was hchl in a iii.i-
.'lieeii [iiKudiim;] hou.se, anl Lawyer “‘doid-
U'” Was i nijd'Ved fo defend uk’. He is a
mighty goinl harte l man, .Ludus is, and
so IS Judge IJattle that tried me; but there
was no chance f(U’ me te get off, a:i l s > I
’fess( s guilty, and Jotdus turns i)ito begg-
in’ the Judge. He .s.iid I w;is a poor un-
fortuiiat • man. with six chihlreii. and a
little given to liker, and there was no jail
nigh'-r than Charlotte, and it would never
ilo to send me to j.iil.
••Has you got any stocks here!'” .-es the
Judge to the ."‘herili.
“No. sur.” the Sheriff; “this is the
second Court ever Indd in the (^ounty of
I nion, and we aint redily witii sich things
yet.”
dl, 1 f‘1' ;i bit of rtdi'f wlien T heard
the Sh*rill an.'or. and the Judge looked
down at a j>iece of paper, au’i then he
-ays—
“Mr. Clerk, record th'judgment id’the
Court;’ j.,et Mr. Hncks b“ conlincd in tlie
stocks for one hour. .Viid, ” s.ivs he, “31r.
.'^heriff. you lan come as near as po.ssible

•*Hnv is tli.it!'’’ says Joolus. flariiiL' u}i
and looking wratliy at the Judge. ••Your
honor don't mean to iiiiliet any unusual
punishment!''’
>h. no!” says the Judge, l:if?in; “the
iiiiide of carrying out fhe sentence is left
to the Sheriff.”
And then all the lawyers laft. but Jo.)-
lus—and some sail •* ’ t’f Ui'f', Jnofus," and
.so got madder still, and says: “Mr. She
riff. I dare you to (b> that!”
And so they to k me out of the Court
house on a gcnenil laff, and as the lawyers
c:tme along fr» dinner, thar 1 was lying
with both legs through the crack of a rail
fence, and .sonii' fellers .setting on the fence
making s))ort of me!
Aii‘1 I hi'ard that (jiieer-lookiiig feller,
••Ham Jones,” say—“Jsiolus, look- at yyur

And then 1 thought Jofdus would have
laintcd. He turned to tlie Judge, and he
,'ays: ••My (iod. Judge! I never had a cli-
' cut in sich a fix before!”
And the Ju«li:e and all of them lawyers
laughed out. Hut I felt hurt—my feel

know w hether t>r not yuiare a lawver, but
I want to know whether it is accorilin’ to
