a SHERIFF’S REMINISCENCES.
Bi’ M. M. NOAH.
When I was sheriff of New York, the jail
limits were only’One hundred and fifty acres.
Houses on the limits commanded a higher rent
for those who could pay, and for those who
could not pay'their sufferings were intolerable.
To mechanics it was peculiarly distressing;
and the whole system worked bad for debtor
and creditor. Enticing persons off the limits
confined for heavy sums, and with good bail,
was an organized system. Watchers were
specially employed, and large sums promised,
if they could find the debtor off his guard and
over the lines, or decoy him in any manner
from the bounds. I have known women en
gaged to stop a debtor, and interest him in her
story by a modest address, a tale of woe, and
lead him step by step, until unconsciously he
had passed the fatal boundary in sighfoef the
scout, who lodged information against him.—
Again, all the arts of beauty and fascination
were employed and bountifully paid for to lure
the debtor beyond the line, and thus entrap
him. Girls have pretended to fall into fits on
one side of the pavement, that the unfortunate
debtor’s humanity 'might be aroused, and he
cross from’the other side to aid them. In
short, the abuses were so numerous. and the
benefits so doubtful, by this 150 acre limit sys
tem, that I went to work to make this manifest
to the Legislature, and they made the whole
city the limits. Some droll occurrences took
place, however, under "this system. Ihe
greater portion of this unfortunate class were
debtors under the twenty dollars, and princi
pally poor persons, and among my particular
and valued political friends, the Irish. I made
it a point never to lock them up, if they could
procure any animal in the shape of bail; for 1
was sure to have the wifa and a half dozen
children petitioning fora release —and many a
twenty dollars, debt and costs, 1 have had to
pay for them, in consequence of the debtor,
and the bail, and the wile, and the children,
and the pigs, all running away at the same
time. But they were all fond of me. It was
•■‘Long life to your honor”—“the blessings of
Ht. Patrick be upon you!” but they were sure
never to vote for me when 1 was a candidate
—thev could not bring it over their conscien
ces, the villains, with all their attachment to
me, which was very sincere and unaffected.
One plan they devised in giving bail, which
was veryamusing, and they thought I was not
up to it. They had a Connaught man amongst
them—a hod man, a tall, handsome, genteel
fellow, full of fun and impudence. Whenever
they wanted security, they would dress him
up in a neat black coat and ruffled shirt, give
him a gold watch, a cane, and a pair of gloves,
and, thus disguised, he would strut into the of
fice with the air of an alderman. “1 come to
bail Terrence O’Flynn, sir. ’ “What is the
triflic, your honor; but we must not let our
countrymen suffer, you know.” So saying,
ho would pull out the gold watch, which he
would look at long enough for all the deputies
in the office to seo the article, adjust his ruf.
Illes, take a pinch out of old Hays’s snuff box,
sign the bond, and strut out. This fellow
was ball for the whole Five Points, which was
in the limits; and as often as 1 saw him clank
mg his iron heeled boots over the marble pave
meat of the City Ball, twirling his cane, and
imitating, and veiy cleverly too, the air of a
man of wealth and importance, I used to say
to him, “Well, Rory, who arc you going to
bail now? M
1 lost a great deal by him, of course, in
small sums; but ho made a triflo occasionally
by the experiment, and his friends always
made a point of stripping him of his “borrow,
ed robes” the moment he came off duty; and I
have seen him, one hour after signing a bail
bond, on the top of a ladder, with a hod full of
brick, a chin hat without a rim, and a terrible
rent in the rear of his corduroys.
1 was glad that the whole limit system was
abandoned—it was painful to parties, and did
good to none. Ono day 1 threw open tho jail
for public inspection. I had cleared out all
the debtors—some by compromise, some by
bail, and a very few by consent of creditors.
It was tho old Provost, during the revolutiona
ry W ar—a terrible looking place, now trans,
formed into the beautiful Hall of Records;
but as the devil would have it, before night an
officer brought in a wild young Frenchman,
arrested fora small sum. His mother, well
known and respected in the city, called at my
house, full of grief and politeness, and smiling
through her tears, having by the hand a hand
some, modest looking girl, scarcely sixteen:—
“Ah’ mon cher Monsieur Scheriff, you ave
locked up my son in de prison—here is his
Ireautiful wife —vill you let her sleep by herself
alone to-night’” There was no resisting such
a pathetic appeal, and the wife carried the re
lease to jail, and old Mr. Rooms let him out,
to roam about and he caught again by Baron
Nabem.
Tho result of abolishing imprisonment for
debt makes meu more cautious in giving cred
it, and those who have credit more careful in
guarding it.
From the Wetumpka (Ala.) Argue.
The following thrilling account of a bear
htiat is from the juvenile pen of a citizen of
Wetumpka, now on a visit to Missouri:
Missouri, August 16, 183 S.
A few days since I paid a visit to a friend
of mine living in Illinois, and the morning at',
ter my arrival, seemed to have been the day
pitched upon bv the neighbors around for a
bear hunt. Just after the sun had made his
appearance in the east, some eight or ten rus.
kj looking Svckkrs (as they are called) arm-
ed and equipped as thdir laws direct, with]
horns at their mouths and hounds at their
heels, rode up to my friend’s—his house be
ing their place of rendezvous, and insisted on
my accompanying them. 1 readily consented
lojoin with the jolly crew, in the participa
tions and enjoyments of the day. But a few
moments elapsed before I was similarly armed
and equipped, with buckskin suit, bear skin
cap, old Tom on my shoulder, an Arkansas
toothpick gracefully dangling at my left side,
and a hunting horn on my righl. A horse
was brought frte, upon which I mounted, and
gave the signal that I was ready by r wind Os
the mellow instrument from my right side,
which was responded to by my comrades, ac
companied with yells from the faithful pack,
eager for the chase —which, as they fell upon
the ears of my prancing steed, seemed to
bring fresh to his memory past events, and to
impress upon him the incumbent duties of the
day.
A few prances were made at the start,
which rendered it difficult to retain my seat,
but regaining an erect position in my saddle, I
gave rein to my steed, and he moved forth
into the boundless wilderness as if conscious of
anticipated movements and «the load he bore.
Not over all the hills in the wood had we tra
velled, before a dim yell as if lost in distance
was heard far off to the right from the course
we were then pursuing; a halt was ordered,
and in a few moments the sound was again
heard, and those acquainted with the pack,
knew it came from the mouth of honest Tray.
We immediately changed our course, put
spurs to our nags, and in a few moments hove
in view of three huge bears, pursued by our
faithful dogs. So soon as wc were discovered
our game taked; orders were given by our
leader to scatter and surround them. I imme
diately filed to the left of our company; cross
ed a large creek, and steered my course up its
banks if possible to gain an eminence in ad
vance before old Bruin should pass; here 1
halted, casting my eyes to the right and left,
and on watching closely the motions of the
cane, I discovered the object of my search
making for an Island in the middle of the
stream, seemingly’ to rest from the fatigues he
had just undergone. Now thinks Ito myself
“is the time for immortalization,” and as he
stretched himself on the green sward of the
Island, I dismounted, laid long Tom up to my
face, rested myself against a tree, took delib
erate aim at the countenance of my lusty
looking target; but being conscious of the un
fair means 1 was taking to slay my subjected
prey, did not fire, determining to place myself
as nearly as prudence would admit or justify,
on an equality with my antagonist, (knowing
he possessed no other means of defence than
those nature had given him) I laid old Tom a
gainst a tree, and with no weapon, save a
toothpick, ventured forth to measure arms
with Bruin. By the elasticity of a tree bend
ing over the precipice, I was lowered to the
the space between me and my enemy. No
sooner had I placed my foot on the terra firma
than he advanced towards me, (a few feet on
ly separated us,) when Ire brought himself to
an erect position, with a most bewitching
smile on his countenance, he extended to me
the hand of fellowship; this for a moment
drove all feelings of fear from me; from his
facinating manner of reception, I was under
the impression I had met a friend, but his af
fection grew so warm that by this time he had
enveloped me in his arms, and I suppose by an
unintentional twist, lapped one side of my ribs
about three inches over the other. This kin
der kindled my anger, and in a passion, I drew
my toothpick and pierced him under the fifth
rib, and drawing it out to repeat my blows,
the vital blood of his heart followed its point,
and in a few short moments, my antagonist
was waltering in his gore, and writhing in the
agonies of death at my feet.
Thus finding myself conqueror, I was
thrown into exultations, with my bloody steel
waving over my head, and unconsciously cry
ing victory! victory!! to which his dying mur
murs gave assent as to its being more often
equal footing.
Being satisfied and much fatigued, I seated
myself for repose on the roots of a tall and
magnificent elm, whoso boughs waved high in
the air, and shaded the contest in which I had
just been engaged. All the fetes of Crockett
were in glowing colors before me, but none
did I conceive to equal the one in which I had
just proved victorious.
1 blew my horn—shouldered my game, and
wended mv way home.

Part I.—The Commanding General cannot do
less than express his gratitude to the General Gov
eri'/uent for the means, and to that Gallant Officer
Mnj- General Winefield Scott, anjl the Brave men
under his command, who was charged with delivering
the inhabiatidf of his Division of the Cherokee pop
ulation, with whom was apprehended an intestine eav
age war, the relief so readily afforded by the entire
removal of that people without shedding one drop of
blood for humanity to weep over, either of the red or
white man, can only meet with a grateful response.
Tart ll.—The Commanding General feels it
equally due, to make honorable mention of tho gal
lant bearing of Brigadier Generals McConnell and
Hemphill, who when ordered to place their commands
in a state of readiness to meet the worst emergent:*
that might arise in Cherokee removals, they each
responded they were ready for the onset: the latter in'
the spirit of true chivalry said "his Brigade were
ready to defend their rights, without any other reward
than their arms secured in giving protection to their
people.”—A people possessed of such a spirit have
nothing to fear.
