miscellany. 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.
