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 ?

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 len in consequence of a sudden freshet'; 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.
