Jim growled aout sort of assent, and 1

was truly a tnjestic looking peronge.
Sn was fully four inches taller tlnn the
ordinary height of fsm.lea, snJ bulky in

Belle could stand ilnee cut-out by the

af er all, quite a beauty, ao far at good

talker.
Lin? Jim anueired to m. eanreaa-

Piinc waa in no hurry to produce tba ti

threw berarrua about Jerry 'a neck, by s

sod catching Prince by the leg. just aa he
wis mounting a chair to reach the rifle,
threw him kwrhop on the bard floor; there
she held him, with her fool firmly planted
on his breatt.

Prince, Pull jcr fiot off di nigger,

Tha delay produced by th eonfusioa,
th entreaties, and the tartte of th va
rious partii-e, was sufficient to save Jim
from the captain vengeance. He knew
that Jim wss safe, and puiauit ust-leet.
Well, if I let the skunk go," growled
Jerry, "what am 1 tn do!"
'Take the law 'of him," said Squire
Cooney, bitihtening op at the uha of is

What th crime!" asked Jerry.
Salt and battery, a I should reck
on," replied the Squire, doubtinglv. "It
may however be fdlow de itay. I haint

Well, 1 aim eattiin about that. As
the Queen baiot killed out and out, I reck-

hope they'll hang hun, but fony sat one,
well laid on, will teach him bet er man

and I'll a ake the afudavy." ?
It wss court week. Judges, jurors, law
yer ami witnes-es were in attendance.
Mr. Solicitor Windy had given out the
bill, in the caae of The S ate v. Jamet
Buggy, for an assault and battery. Cap
tain Jerry Cetera, his w ife, hia en Jake,
and the Queen, were in attendance as
S'tte'a witnesses.' Being a quasi officer
of tho Coutt, i.e. a "ttudtnt at law," 1
wasnothiund over, though the solicitor
aent me before the grand jury to testify.
After hearing and duly deliberating upon
the testimony, the grand jury lound a
