Tennessee Squire In Olden Times-
There flourished for many years, in
a certain village in the good State of
Tennessee, an eccentric old fellow who
rejoiced in the name of Peter Izard;
and for eleven years he filled the impor

sir, what’s your a^e, Mri Srjtzle ?'
The witness maintained tip mosldog-

During the longterm of his official ca-
( reer,'Squire Izard was equally celebrat
ed for his inflexible integrity, and his
’ender*any Service I j singular manners—yet, strange to say,
' he held office only by the so-called
fickle auro vopuli, for it was an elec
tive office. But he kept all the liquor,
and was the only man who could write
in the town. In those halcyon days,
newspapers and common schools were
unknown. His honesty was also pro
verbial !—millions could not have tempt
ed him to have wronged his bitterest
enemy"of a dime, or to have decided a
case with common politeness. And, on
the whole, he was popular, for so that
the decision was just and upright, what
mattered the uncouth phrase in which
it was couched ? The shell was rough
and bitter, but the kernel was sweet.—
We will now give an example of Squire
Izard's mode of proceeding.

My dear air: I cannot express to you my sincere and

for the wonderful ci
of your truly valuable Pile Elcctu .
rfect martyr to the bleeding piles for t<
which I lie
in the
eigns. Naturally indignant, our travel
ler refused to pay such an exhorbitant
demand, and while he was cooling his
bile and his stomach at the * ** General
Jackson"—the tavern {par excellence^ of
the town, he was arrested at the suit of
the son of Vulcan. There being no other
resource Mr. M. was conducted to the
magistrate's office back of the bar.
It should have been mentioned, that
Bquire Izard not only filled the office of
JusiiceVfiut^je Was the tavern keeper
besides. The sign that swung before
his door displayed on a blue ground a
figure supposed it), rescniblo^ ridcr«-,t!
being. A very large red face was de
picted, surmounted by a white hahy-D'd
surrounded by a chapeau* With three
waving plumes. To this was appended
a blue-coated bod},’, with very diminu
tive legs, attired in large jack hoots and
a from
relief of fresh horses to be brought
the surrounding country.
Here the nine horses from los Angeles
were left and eight others taken in their
place, aud a Spanish boy added to the
party to assist in managing the loose
horses. Proceeding at the usual gait
till 8 at night, and having made some
seventy miles,Don Jesus, who had spent
the night before with his family and
friends^and probably with but little sleep
became fatigued, and proposed to halt
d-^® jor a few hours. It was in the valley
'of the Salinas, (Salt river, called Buena.
Ventura in the old maps,) and the haunt of
marauding Indians. For safety during
their repose, the party turned off . the
track issued-through ticanaJa into a thick
wood* dnd laydown, the horses being
put to grass at a short distance, with the
Spanish boy in the saddle to watch.—
Sleep, when commenced, was too sweet
to be easily given up, and it was half
way between midnight and day when
the sleepers were aroused by an estam-
pedo among the horses and the calls of
the boy.
The cause of the alarm was soon found,
not Iudians, but white bears—this val
Truth Stranger than Fictiou.
We have ah illustration, of this apo
thegm too striking to be lost. Crossing
the Hackensack bridge near Newark
one day in the railroad car, in company
with governor D. of New jersey, that
gentleman observed that he had once
witnessed a remarkable incident on that
spot. He was in a stage-coach with
some eight or nine passengers, male and
female, and as they were crossing the
bridge at this point, one of the former re
marked that one evening thirty years
before, he had been crossing the river at
that very spot, in a stage-coach filled
with passengers qs now; that the bridge
which then existed was a miserable rick*
ety old structure, ready to fall on the
least provocationthat the waters of the
river were at tlio time very much swol

and that when the conch got about midr
way on the bridge, one of the supports
gave way, precipitating all hands into
the dark and rapid waters. After

feeling* of pleasure that lam enabled to inform you of
the cure l have experienced by the use of Dr Upham’s
Vegetable Pile Electuary, which 1 obtained from you
in case of Pi’ea with which I have been afflicted. My
suffering* have been almost beyond endurance, and
cannot he known or imagined, only by those who have
experienced like afflictions.
Having been so long and sorely afflicted, I am
duced to address yon, that through you I may make
known to my friends and neighbors the truly wonder
ful virtues of Dr. Upham’s Electuary, which I shall
hereafter keep on hand, as I find it beneficial in other
respects, removing obstinate co*tivene*s, morbid accu
mulations in the stomach, and bowels; and to purify
tbc blood—thus removing rhe cause of Piles, when
speedy cure must follow:
It is needles* to add that* previon* to obtaining the
Elqctnary of you#) Iwd t»aid»il »•*.“ of our best phy
sicians, but to little benefit. Should jeu kntftr

to do in this communication. Joshua Bkabax.
Afore Rapid Cures—Surgical Operation Avoided.
A gentleman, whose name can be seen at my office,
called some six or seven moaihsago and obtained a box
of Electuary for himself. Not long since the same in
dividual called to get a b.tx for arm her person. He then
intensely yellow pantaloons. One hand
flourished a sword, the other rested on a
cannon spontaneously helching forth ve
ry red flame, very blue smoke, and a
ball like a black water, plainly visible.
The artist had commenced at the head,
and being cramped for room ere he fin
ished, like another Procrustes, he acco
modated the rest or the picture to suit
circumstances. This work of art was
supposed to bear a striking resemblance
to the hero of New Orleans. The other

quite an adept in the art. On one occa

lawyers underttfok to pay him off in bis

Cheese vs. Cannon Shot-
The greatest a'tnmunition that we
have heard of lately, was used by the
celebrated Commodore Coe, of the
Montevidian Navy? who, in an engage
ment with Admiral Brown, of the Bue
nos Ayrean service, fired every shot
from his lockers.
4 What shal^we do, Sir?” asked his
first lieutenaut; 44 we've not a single
shot aboard-—round, grape, canister,
and double-beaded, are all gone.”
“Powder gone, eh?” asked Coe.
“No, Sir—got lots of that yet.”
44 We had a confounded hard cheese
—a round Dutch one—for desert at
dinner to-day; don’t you remember it ?*'
said Coe.
44 1 ought to—I broke the carving knife
in trying to cut it, Sir.”
“Are there-any more aboard?”
44 About two dozen,Sir—we took ’em
from a droger.’
“ Will they go into the 18 pounders?”
“By thunder. Commodore, but that's
the idea. I’ll try them,” cried the first
luff.
And, in a few minutes, the fire of the
old 44 Santa Maria," (Coe’s ship,) which
had stopped, was re opened, and Admi
ral Brown.found more shot flying over
his head. * Directly oue of them struck
his mainmast, and as it did so, shattered
and flew in every direction.
44 What the devil is that the enemy
is firing?" asked Brown, but nobody
could tell.
Directly another one came in throiij
a port and killed two men who i
standing near him ; then striking
opposite bulwarks, burst into flintei
