Strange Decision. An action
was lately brought, in a 3Iagis
trates' Court at Charleston, by a
tailor, to recover dollars for
making a coat for defendant.
1 he plaintiff produced his books,
and proved his account. The de
fendant proved that the coat wag
made too small, and was, on that
account, useless to him. The
presiding Justice then gave the
following decree: "The plaintiff
having proved that the work was
done, and as no man is to work
tor nothing, I decree that the de
fendant shall pay the plaintiff the
amount; and the coat being too
small, it is ordered that the plain
tiff make a pair of breeches for
defendant's son.
Two young women, daughters
of Mr. Stafford, of Alachuahender,
Florida, were recently burned to
death by the explosion of a cask
of whiskey from which they were
drawing the fire was communi
cated from a candle.

plected, hroad face, front teeth large and
white, rather slow spoken, and a few
scars on his back occasioned by the

already made the attempt, it is highly
probable be will endeavor to make his
escape with some white person.
Twenty five Dollars will be given to
any person who will apprehend the said
negro, and confine him in any Jail in
this State so that I get him again or,
Fifty Dollars if taken and confined in
any Jail without this State.
It would do well for people to be on
their guard, as he did on the day of his
elopement stab a man in attempting to
lake him. No advantage of the law will
be taken by me of any person, who may
kill the said negro in taking or confin

Vinegar and Pickles. A cor
respondent of the American Far
mer, says: "I gathered the cu
cumbers from the vines, and with
out any other preparation than
waning mem clean, dropped
them into a stand containing a
mixture of whiskey and water, one
part of the former to three of the
latter. I secured them against
gnats, flies and external air, tying
a ilannel close over the top, and
laying over this aboard and stone,
and neither moved nor examined
them until Christmas, when I
found them not merely equal, but
decidedly superior to any pickles
I had ever tasted. They were
hard and of a fine flavor, and what
has been particularly admired in
them, they retained the original
color of the cucumber, not exhib
iting the green poisonous appear
ance of pickles that had been salt
ed and scalded in copper. My
whiskey and water (no salt having
been used nor heat employed,)
was now excellent vinerar for trm
