' ' '.. Whllo residing, not long since, ia the old
. Country, of St-Vff d. irt Virginia, and pas-aAD-a.
rarely-ireqaented road, I heard
.ra iioUe that at once attracted toy attention.
i?;?:lt-sat av'tolitoq'uy in. a vry loud key, and
fQtertardfedmh;au occaeional oath to prove
Klhsri!)ftuliloqi)j was in' earnest. Guiding
"Wy horse in tbe direction of the voice, I saw
J5a;4eHpw; about half; corned, deliberately cut
jf'.'ingT t long' hickory ewiich, and talking to
" -"h'Euselifat the same time wilh a great deal
tbooght at first that he in
- tended Jto whip hi horse that stood hard by;
it? ii,twav.about turning off, when a new
5;l8Ct.4iraiiSSn: hia sell-talk arrested me at
vv?-foifee3td mrnle me witness of the following

iVfar all thisrj'oa trifling cuss you."
oSyBeiog in some doubt xvhether Leroy Jen
iP"Mi knwwaa the name of his horse, or some ex
reeteocombataot whose preparations, of a
i. charge.! er similar to those 1 have mentioned,
. , : - tvereqo?eUy progressing a 6hort distance off.
- I deternained to wait the issue of those fierce
' threals-and throwing my leg over my sad
ziejLprpLVcrio become a calm opectaior
' .iHioCtlte fight, and perhaps an umpire when
4 -;-f.6one iparty. or the other soi enough.

- wfied. himself .'of its elasticity and unbroken
, Btrength, laid it down on the ground, talking
'i?ali the. time; in a vary truculent maimer of
-TIroy; Jenkins. Deliberately taking off his
-vj.coat and laying it on a log, he took up nit
lflatiitnd, tfee first I heard of his succeeding
, ,j'.eoliIiquy was about aj follows:
f'WJNoWj Leroy Jenkiiia, ain't you ashamed
of yourself, you nasty hound pup, and I am
,v?r't jot nowrotng to give you your bitters, you
ift jolernal'roean reptile you."
fyIathe meantime 1 leaned a little forward
,Atocatca.a"glinipol his antagonist, but though
-iLlhccoasl was comparatively clear, I could
0: Bee no human- face, save thutofthe speal;er,
J and t was now very 6ure that be did not mean
.' L'hii horse, for he took an opposite direction.
1 hnd small lime. however, for rtfleciion. tor
P-jinfs speech waxed warmer, he stepped a lit
-'jiile forward and aimed a sort of back handed
?"blow that descended with a keen 6ound and
considerable force on his own back !
