Stephen O'Kelley, for may jean known in Western Georgia and E&siern Alabama as an eccentric teacber of jouth according to ibe Hibernian fusbion of the oUen time, stood indicted at the spring' term ot Cham ber Circuit Court, in the year 1854, for assault and battery on a boy of tender yean not, however, a pupil of our hero, bat-a prl chap who met Stephen in a bat room and offered him some indignity. Being unable, or perhapaonly unwilling, to giro ball--for Stephen is a notionate ' old fellow--the sheriff left Mr. O'Kelley ai Jar go on Qis pcufle tTJUmmtur. Wbea the yanefl hepTe5iantg judge rt itifiaa-lhAKfceOTalter shonM-be-rebmitted uireipf the deendaa V representedf tt him,-and that oil parties should abide by Ynur' hnnnr t I'm Uthriit rttnnAV nn BhalfbaTeflo defiml meself,' .JYou ha-e that right, Mr. O'Kelley,' said the judge. 'Be sure P responded Stephen. 'An' I Want a tpady thrial, fur I'm unable to give bail, an' bein' in jail's no fun, rer honor.' J-CertainIy, certainly ! If you are in that condition you shall have a trial tf possi ble. s 'Only gicassi . y er honor,' said Stephen, who plumes himself on the knowledge of the 'noble RoTtan'tongit,' which he is said to have acquired at TrUniiy College Du blin. - Only qwassi because the sheriff has the charge ov me, an ka pes me const hrudicely in jaU, at Judge Falkners hotel. It's fiwMJt, yer hqnior ' The State, 'by Us Swliciior,' had by this time got the witnesses for the prosecution within the bar, nn I announced 'ready.' Just ht this juncture some one whispered t Stephen ihet the indictment was demur rable in this, that instclu! of alleging his orTence to have bee; committed be fare the finding of the ind: inent, it was said to have been done before the filing of that document Mr. O'Kelley, from the hurry of the moment, only partially understood the suggestion but it was quite enough for him that the instrument was supposed to be detective ' Verbal inaccuruciea of all sorts he professes to abhor. So Stepbrn announced 'ready,' too. 'Go the jury on my left,' said the Judge. What says the State to the jury V 'Satisfied,' said the solicitor. What says the defendant to the jury V Ntver a word, yer honor no mo her's on ov'cra will iver have a say on the bitov paper I hold in me hand, an' which it would be waUt in' a good word lo call an indictment. I claim mc demur-r-rer-r f he added with great boldness, energy and unction, and with a roar of r in the word 'demurrerwhich was truly imposing. 'Xhe solicitor pricked up his ea,r. 'State your grounds, Mr. O'Kelley,' said i the court S.tepben squared himself, in rather pugi listic style, and with hat and cane in one hand and the indictment in the other pro ceeded: 'May it plaze yer honor, for forty years its been me lot to be ingaged in isthructin' The youth of the count hry in the classics, the matboTnniics and hv littherychure gin erally., : Me juvenil days wer spent among boys; the manhood's prime has been inga ged in bangin' knowlidge inter their heads; and in rne old age, it goes to mo heart to be prosecuted for fiillippin1 the nose of a switch av a lad that was misbehavin in thirely. But the thing that mostly pains me feelings, yer hoticr, is bein' brought in ter the presence of yer honor by the myr-r-raidons of the law, on a charge set forth in lanjruid're so vajue antl intechnical. Yer honor, the bit av paper in me hand ra ches that Shepben O'Kelly is guilty ol sthrikin' and batin' the boy, and that's bad enough, yer honor ! But it gits better ni verso fast wihin it talks of a sworn grand 'avjJUin. a bill, inst id, yer honor, like Chris tian men that bad been imihrucled in their humanities, usin the ter-r-r-tninftVihe bill I'm glad, yer honor, I've no responsibility for lachin any av 'em, and 'That'll do, Mr. O'Kelly interposed the judge; 'I think I see yO'ir point What says the State ?' The solicitor remarked conversationally that he thought the indictment, under the code, was good. There was a mere lapsvs penna as to a single letter. 'Perhaps,' he added laughingly, 'it might be cured by the application of the maxim vunimU rum caret lex.1 Stephen conlilii'i stand so much Latin without taking a hand. 'Yer honor,' ha exclaimed excitedly 'the rcry'maxim of the law that I plant myself upon. The lapsus penna shull not work, yei honor, the injury av the subject; there shall be jk inteudments, yer honor, in this fray counthry aguinst the liberty of the cit izen J Andyer honor, watVa more rais onable construction of ds minimis non curat ice, than that an old teacher way spayik a llitU boy T Dc minimis non curat lex, is good law. an', good Latin, yer honor, an' the JULi' av the bill is neither the one nor the other. AYerhbndr he added with incf eased d!goUyxT'ZjtfJi upon the dauur:r-r-cr-r.' The court sustained the demurrer and quashed the; indictment ; whereupon Ste phen, having flared 'me, xomplimenu to yer honor,' ad. bowed patronizingly to the olicitor, with hafla one hand and stick with h Wuciform: head iri tbeoibrr, wulv dtewrookiibfiourt (th solicitor declining to bind over.) to tell " crowdrof hU friends it Jbe lobby that, be was saved; inthirely by, his inthimit knowledge of . the English and Latin tongues, n . tandin'( like the rQcl GibtiUiar on hi demur-r-r er-rf l: f--- JUMtgeatery, Ala) JilaiL "urTUoA of tbe main bone of the g. from the knee to the ancle, was' performed lately with uccess, saving the-limb, by a rargeon irl Allegheny chy, Pa.' i4 The pa tient was ftoyt op 5 jrear; and;tt;e bone bad become decayed .throughout, coan- ,3V hatever may - be-1 he. - reputation , of , maff trbe Altvej when dead be is general 1 allowed to b JiisMd gentlemaa-t THE WARD AFFAIR. The outrageous verdict in the Wars case continues to provoke the fiercest indigna tion of the press and public. Every man who had any part or lot in that acquittal is branded with the deep. hissing letters ol contempt and scorn. Says The Louisville- Courier of the 9th ; ., 'We understand that an indignityv RM offered to John J. Crittenden in St. Coois last week, which was a topic of common conversation among the passengers who ar rived here on the Pike ;day before yester day. The Medical Convention had got it self into a snarl about some point of order, and would net get out of it. A member suggested that Mr. Ortrienden, then present Lhis decision. On the instant that this pro position .was made, a spontaneous and gen eral hiss filled the room in which the con vention held its sittings, and the subject was forthwith dropped. 'Alas, 'how fallen how object.2 '. And here is the way a juror is deserved; ly cut. TJie Democrat says : 'One of the jurors in the Ward case took his plows to Mc.-Mercer, a blacksmith of Stcuhehbura:, and offered him the money to do the work needed on them, but the lat ter refused to work for him at all. One of the merchants of the town refused to sell one of the jurors goods for cash. These are noble deeds. Let the venal wretches see that they stand alone, despised- by all the world. The Democrat commenting upon a meet ing lately held 'in Hardin County, (the scene of the acquittal.) remarks : 'These resolutions are of the right sort. It is more than, gratifying to see the whole heart of the people is stirred by the shock ing judicial outrage in acquitting a cold blooded murderer. 'After ihe meeting, the efBgies of the twelve Jurors, duly placarded with their names, were taken from a rom where they had been all day on exhibition, tumbled in to a cart along wt'ih the effigy of J. J. Crit-tr-nden, and that of the High Sheriff of the: County, and driven off by Sambo, who guided the oxen to a gallows prepared for the purpose, nnd there hung. They were afterwards taken down and burned to the infinite amusement of the boys, as the effi gies were well supplied with crackers.' Mntt Ward, the murderer, seems to be fated to find no resting place. Having fled from Louisville, and been warned a way from New-Albany, be and his brother stopped at Carrolllon, Indiana, where they had been but a short time, when, being waited upon by a committee of citizens, and-desired to leave, they went to Judge Hurttinrdon's, some distance rrt-the country, and shorty afterwards took parage on the Eclipse for, Arkansas." W'hri the boat reached Henoerson, a large crowd collect ed on the wharf, and ordered the captain to be off with his boat ami cargo, which was quickly ooeyetii oetnt iraxeiie. ANOTHER WARD CASE The Pittsburg Dispatch publishes an ex tract from a letter lately received by a re sident of that city from a friend in Halifax, giving the following singular account of a criminal trial ir, that place. We do. not of course vouch for the trdth oPthe state ment 'Last August, in a house of ill fame, a sailor, a young man named Allen, of the Admiral's ship Cumberland, lying at Hali fax, was killed by the keeper of the house, Murphy, and another man. They were tried lust week all the evidence against them was thrown aside, even that of the irirls, who swore to the fact of seeing him killed, was overruled, and a vagabond ne gro was suborned to swear that the deceas ed jumped out of a window and killed himself. The Judges directed the Attor ney General to"stop proceedings, and in stantly instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. This case of abominable perjury has created a great sensation of horror in the community. Two nights ago the house in which the murder was committed was burnt down with another adjoining it. The only persons who worked at the fire were the firemen; no citizens could be in duced to assist, and the sailors of a man-of warwho were ordered up only cheered whenever a rafter of the roof fell in. This Murphy is wealthy from carrying on this business of infamy, and it is universaly be lieved that judges, jury attorney general, &c , were all paid to bring the scoundrel clear. The murderers had a party on the evening of their escape. D English laws there is no justice here; money will do anythii g.' NIAGARA FALLS It A NONENTITY. is very surprising, sa"s a late writer, that two of the greatest n. aural curiosities in the world are in the United States, and scarcely known to our best geographers and naturalists ; the one is a beautiful fall in Frankiin, Habersham county, Georgia; the other, a, stupendous precipice in PenJ dleton district, South Carolina.' They a r 'oih faintly mentioned in the late edition of Morse's Geography,' bat' not as- they merit. The Tuccoa fall is much . higher than the Niagara. The column of water is propelled beautifully over n peff-entflCu-lar rock, and when the stream is full, it passes down without being broken. All the prismatic effects seen at Niagara, il lustrate the spray at Tuccoa. The table mountain in Pendleton district is nq awful precipice tf nine h u hd red fee t,, Alaoy per sons reside within five, seven, o fen x miles of this grand spectacle, who never badhe I curiosity to visit it. It is now visited by curious travellers, and sometimes by men of science, . , A BRAVE SOLDIER. uJIYe.5" i?at,vSatd a .victorious General to a brave son of- Erin and what did you do to tielp'u gain "Ihtf 'inetery .f ' trf X4DI r feplietf Pat!ajrit ripleawf yotir honor, I walked tip baldly iopwjift,' p.v .the inimay and est off his fat WiSV VtiXii put t his foot f andrwhyf ia ryo fftol cut off his heattt .; AaXaito, that was off AN AMUSlGisTAKE. l The Indians located iwxt lO bur frontier settlements are great patrons of traveling menageries, &c. They will walk fifty miles at any time to gel a peepat the eon tents of one of th big tents which - period ically visit eve& those tar out of the. way places. A few day since agent Vanse re ly ke piloted some of the Nebraska Indians now in Washington, to the Capitol, jand they remained for half an hour in the House gallery, gravely listening to excited speeches on polgamy in Nebraska, 'and seeing divisions, by tellers, taken upon va rious amendments. It happened to be an excited season in the Hall ; jokes were pas sing, followed roars of laughter, and, on the wJspls Ur-plaee was ;raiher " bear-gar-den-bb ;lbr Vhe i)Hne. being. 1 Qa their re turn, the, ageni asked what.Tbey thought of it? and was promptly answered that the house (the building) itself was most won derful. But they couldn't get the hang of :the show!1. They had heard the peals of laughter, and seen the people crowding up at them, as if to catch a sight of some thing, they could not discover what. On the whole, they had seen shows, better worth a quarter a sight, out on the frontier. They actually mistook the Hall for a sort of menagerie arena! Washington SHar. HOW TO MOUNT A HOR3I2. A letter from an officer on board the U. S. ship St. Mary's, dated at St Mary's, Huacho, Peru, published in the Burlington Free Press, gives the following description of an entirely original and ludicrous mode of mounting a horse : . The women do all the work here, and the men are a good-for:npthing set of gam blers and thietes. ? ?rhe women ride on the hind quarters pf iheir.hprQS without a sad dle, cross-legged, with the load on the horse in front. They mount the animal by taking hold of his long tail, making a loop by doubling it up, and clasping with one hand the upper and lower parts of the tail, and then putting one foot in the loop and the other foot on the joints of the horse's leg, they ascend as if oihg up stairs. They usually stand erect on the horse be fore sitting down. The horses" never kick or stir. Milton wus asked by a friend whether he would instruct his daughter in the dif ferent languages. To which he replied, 'No, sir, one tongue is sufficient for a woman. TilE TRI-WKEKUL COMMERCIAL. I published "every Tvmdav, TnniAT and Saturday at S3 per annum, payable all ease in advance.
