ANECDOTE.
A gentleman of this town beinsc lately so
licited by his neighbour to be his security to
the Marshall, after reading the Bond, uttered
in a iauitenng tone of voice, " i am so sicRiy,
and so poory-so sickly, find so poorly, that I do
not think I can writer then taking up
pen, made an attempt to write bis name on a
piece.ot paper, and tore-it-up-JieotherJ
observed that he could write well enough
and pressed him to sign' the Bond ; to which
he replied M I am going to your wharf to look
at some lumber, but will be back again in the
afternoon ; in the mean time do try to get
some one else to sign it with you; I am so sick
ly and so poorly." The other still persisting
in his solicitations, declared it was only a mat
ter of form. " Oh! ho! matter of form, do
you say ?" exclaimed -the pretender! sick'
man, I bad to pay Six Hundred Dollars for
, matter of form not long since, and shall have
to pay Sis; Hundretr mote' in a short time,
