POETRY.
TO LADY GRAHAM.
ON NEW’ YEARNS DAY. BY MRS. NORTON.
Rose! with thy young buds opening to the day,
In fair and delicate beauty like thine ow n;
Small, fairy copies of thy features’ play,
Unconscious mimics of the voice's tone.
Accept for tlicm—for thee—a wish sincere—
Ah! could such wishes like warm sunbeams fall,
To gild the coming of each anxious year,
How much would hope avert, or love recall!
Few can iheir pausing glances backward throw.
Nor feet thick gathering tear-drops dim their gaze:
Few can look forward with a cheerful glow
And hail the promise of more happy days.
But Thou!—The old year (when its course was new)
Twin birds of promise to thy bosom sent—
Anti the new year seems opening to thy view
With a dear dream of measureless content.
May that New Year he bright to them and thes;
As bright as their inherited beauty seems;
And thy heart own thro* its futurity, .
(Likea child’s slumber,) none but happy dreams,
And oh! w hen Time, with gently stealing pace,
Shall print his touch upon that open brow—
And, passing, mellow with a graver grace
The still unladed beauty of its snow:—
When fairy Constance smooths each careless curl
That now waves Tightly round her liny head,
When ihe gay child becomesa gracefui girl
With blushing cheek, shy glance, and fawnlike tread:
When love hath shadowed down those laughing eyes,
(All! be her love a happy one—like thine,)
And all her hidden soul that in them lies,
Like an unrisen star,—hath learnt to shine:
W T hen change without shall answer change within,
And her expression alters like thine own,
From the calm innocence which knew not sin.
To the bright purity which shuns, w hen known:
When her young girlish loveliness brings back
The winning beauty of thine early day
To him who shares thy life’s advancing track,
And bids him pause to bless thee on the way:—
Oh, then, still worshipped in thy qniet home,
(The place where womau’s worshippers should be;)
When all those busy memories crow ding come,
Which made existence dear lo him and thee—
May the New Year be still a welcome sound.
Though coldly gleams the grey and wintry sky,
And all the sunshine which thy heart hath found
Smile on thy lip, and sparkle in thine eye!

PRESENTMENTS
Of the Grand Jury of Forsyth County, Sejittmber Superior
Court, 1836.
W E, the Grand Jury, sworn and chosen for the coun
ty of Forsyth, have examined our county matters so
far as was in our power in the limited time allowed us tor
such purpose*, and believe from what wo have been able lo
ascertain, the pecuniary matter* of the county confused and
out of order in detail, and consequently appointed an exam
ining committee of three of this body, to investigate and ex
amine the book*, <fcc. of the county officers, and to report
the result of their labors to the next succeeding grand jury
of ibis county.
There is one subject which this body has thought neces
sary to notice, v\ Inch they believe to be of great importance,
not to this county alone, but to the people of this sec
tion of country generally, which is, that portion of the pub
lic revenue of the United States which this State is entitled
to, under the recent act oi congress of the United Stales,
this body do earnestly recommend to our fellow-citizens gen
erally, and to our representation in the next general assem
bly of this Stole, to lend their aid, in applying said money
to the use of internal improvements, which is calculated to
benefit this section of country far above estimates now to
be made. We have in this section of country but few nat
ural facilities for the transportation-of our commerce, and it
i* of the highest importance that the want of those natural
advantages should be supplied by rail roads and canals,
which the people have ample mean* to accomplish. We
have heard it suggested, that the monies apportioned to
Georgia from the general government should be placed in
the Central Bank, we as the grand jury of this county, pro
test against such a measure, we admit the bank was estab
lished for valuable purges, but it is now of such magnitude
it is feared that like all other large monietl monop lies, it is
calculated to wield an influence dangerous to the interests
and liberties of the people, and therefore, we would depre
cate to see an increase of its powers by placing more at its
command.
The grand jury in taking leave of tlie court, tender the^r
united thanks to his honor Judge Kenan, for lii* able, ener
getic and impartial deliberations on the bench of this court;
und also tender our thank* to solicitor 11 L. Sim*, Esq. for
his attentive and respectlul demeanor towards this bod v; and
request tlie court to have these presentments published in the
Federal Union and Southern Recorder.

THRILLING INCIDENT.
“A step from the suhlime t to the ridiculous.”
BY WILLIAM A. COMSTOCK.
The morning was delightful. I was in
the country. 1 was wandering at my lei
sure and had not a care to disturb the se
renity of my mind—excepting it was that
I panted for some adventute—some inci
dent in consonance with the romantic
beauty of the scene. I could scarcely
hope ibr it, as the country was thinly set
tled, and lew passengers were to be met
with. All was silence and peace, save
the music of countless numbers of birds
that jumped about among the thick leaves
of the green wood, or the hollow murmur
of a little waterfall, where the chrystal
flood tumbled from a shivering rock among
the clean pebbles and sand of a brook.—
1 wandered I eared not whither, ibr at
everv step some new beauty opened to
niv view. At length, in one of the most
solitary spots which I had visited, I ima
gined that I heard a slight hum, as of a
congregated crowd, at no great distance;
and upon looking quickly about me, I
caught sight of something glittering
through the trees, which I knew to be the
handiwork of a human artist, and yet I
could not immediately determine its shape
and character. I walked forward a few
paces, when I came to an opening in the
bushes, and looked through a narrow pas
sage of some length, which divided the
bushes and young trees, saw a spacious
green, in the centre of which stood a lit
tle church with a small steeple. I ob
served that the congregation were nearly
all assembled. Occasionally some belat-
ted worshipper dropped silently in, took
oil' his hat, and applying his handkerclieif
to his damp forehead, slid into the first
scat that offered. As the door stood wide
open, I could sec a goodly array of vil
lage bonnets—commend me to a village
bonnet—it is more precious to my view
than an imperial crown. I at once re
solved to go to meeting—not only for the
sake of seeing the pretty village maidens,
but also because a secret vanity suggest
ed to my mind that among that assembly
of plain countrymen I should be a distin
guished personage, and could not fail to
draw the melting glance of many a blue
eye upon mine own outward proportions.
Accordingly I passed up the natural
avenue and came out upon the green.—
My feelings were very poetical as I walk
ed slowly towards the door of the viUage
church. I entered. A popular preacher
was holding forth, mid the little meeting
house was much crowded. Several per
sons were standing up and I soon discov
ered that I must retain my perpendicular
position, as every seat was crowded, I,
however pressed up the aisle, until I had
gained a position where I could have a
fair view of the faces of nearly all pre
sent. I soon perceived that I was an ob
ject of attention. Man}' of the congrega
tion looked curiously at me, for 1 was a
stranger to them all. In a few moments
however, the attention of every one pre
sent appeared to be absorbed in the am
bassador of grace, and I also began to
take an interest in his discourse. The
speaker was fluent, and many of his flights
were even sublime—but almost any thing
was calculated to affect my mind then.—
The preacher spoke of Heaven and its
joys, and the blissful scenes with which
we were surrounded on every side. The
music of the wood and the fragrance of
the heath seemed to respond to his elo
quence. Then it was no great stretch of
the imagination to fancy that the white
handed creatures around me, with their
pouting lips and artless innocence were
beings of a higher sphere. While my
feelings were thus divided between the
beauties and the blessings of tlie two
worlds, and wrapt in a sort of poetical de
votion, I detected one fair lass, with large
black eyes, in stealing several glances at
me of a most animated character. I need
not describe the sensations experienced
by a youth when the eyes of a beautiful
woman rest for a length of time upon his
countenance—and when he imagines him
self to be an object of interest to her. I
returned her glances with interest, and
threw all the tenderness into my eyes
which the scene, my meditations, and the
preacher’s discourse had inspired in my
heart. I doubted not that the fair young
damsel possessed kindred feelings with
myself—that we were drinking together of
the fountain of inspiration. How could
it be otherwise? She had been born and
nurtured amid these wild and romantic
scenes—-and was made up of romance,
of poetry, and tenderness. And then I
thought of the purity of woman’s love—
her devotion—her truth. I only prayed
that I might meet with her where we
could enjoy a sweet interchange of senti
ment. I thought of Sappho and the ar
dent glances of this young maiden, re
minded me cf that creature of passionate
affection. I thought of Werter and Char
lotte, and could not doubt that the village
maiden and myself were capable of en
joying equal transport in each other’^ so
ciety. Her glances continued—several
times our eyes met. My heart ached with
rapture. At length the bent diction was
pronounced. I lingered upon ihe premises
until I saw the dark-eyed damsel set out
for home alone and on foot. ‘O that the
customs of society would permit—for w'e
are surely one in soul! Cruel formality,
that throws up a barrier between hearts
made for each other!’ Yet I determined
to take the same path. I followed after
her. She looked behind, and I thought
she evinced some emotion at recognizing
me as the stranger of the day. I quick
ened my pace, and she actually slacken
ed hers, as if to let me come up with her.
‘Noble young creature!’ thought I.—
‘Her artless and warm heart is superior
to the shackles of custom!’
I at length came within a stone’s throw
of her. She suddenly halted and turned
her face towards me. My heart swelled
to bursting, and my eyes filled with tears
of rapture and tenderness. I reached the
spot where she stood. She began to
speak, and I took off my hat as if doing
reverence to an angel.
‘Are you a pedlar?’
‘No my dear girl, that is not my occu
pation.’
‘Well, I don’t know,’ continued she,
not very bashfully, and eyeing me sternly,
‘I thought when I saw you in the meeting
house that you looked like the pedlar who
passed off a pewter half dollar on me
three weeks ago: and so I determined to
keep my eye on you. Brother John has
got home now, and he says if he catches
the feller, he’ll wring his neck for him—
and I ain’t sure hut you arc the good-for-
nothing rascal after all.’
The last words were uttered with a
furious scream. Reader, did you ever
take a shower bath.
MANAGING^ A HUSBAND.
This is a branch of female education loo much
neglected; it ought to be taught with “French,
Italian, and the use of the Globes.” To
be sure, as Mrs. Glass mast sincerely observes,
“first catch your hare,” and you must also first
catch your husband. But we will suppose him
caught—and therefore to be roasted, boiled,
stewed or jugged. All these methods of cook
ing have their matrimonial prototypes. The
roasted husband is done to death by the fiery
temper, the boiled husband dissolves in the
warm water ol conjugal tears, the slewed hus
band becomes ductile by the application of
worry, and the jugged husband is fairly subdu-
ed by sauce and spice. Women have all a
natural genius for having their own way; still
the finest talents, like “the finest pleasantry in
the world,” require cultivation. We recom
mend beginning soon.
* When Sir William L was setting ofT on
his wedding excursion, while the bride was
subsiding from the pellucid lightness of while
satin and blonde in to the delicate darkness of
lilac silk travelling dress, the lady’s made rush
ed into his presence with a torrent, not of tears,
but of words. His favorite French valet had
put out all the band boxes that had been pre.
viously stored with all feminine ingenuity in
the carriage. Of course, on the happiest day
of his life, Sir William could not “hint
a fault or hesitate dislike,” and he there
fore ordered the interesting exiles to be re
placed. “Very well Sare William,” said
the prophetic gentleman’s gentleman, “you let
yourself be band boxed now, you be band box
ed all your life.”
Tlie prediction of the maculine Cassandra
of the curl iron was amply fulfilled. Poor Sir
William! One of bis guests, a gentleman
whose wits might have belonged to a Leeds
clothier, for they were always wool gathering,
confounded the bridal with one of those annual
festivals when the people cruelly give you joy
of having made one s:ep more to your grave—
this sad vervil, at his wedding, literally wished
him many happy returns of the day! The po
lite admitter of band boxes found, however, one
anniversary quite sufficient, without any re-
turns.
Now, we consider it somewhat hard “to drag
at each remove” such a very perceptible cha : n;
it might as well have been wreathed, or gilded,
or even pinchbecked. A friend of mine, Mrs.
Francis Caldwell, docs the thing much better,—
We shall give a domestic dialogue in Curzon
street, by way of example to the rising genera
tion.
“I have been at Baldoc’s this morning, my
love,” said Mrs. Caldwell while helping the
soup: “he has two such lovely Sevre tables,
portraits of Louis XIVth’s beauties; you must
let me have them for the drawing-room, they
are such loves.”
“I really do wonder,” exclaimed Mr. Cald.
well, in his most decided tone, “what you can
want with any thing more in the drawing-room.
I am sure that it is as much as any one can do
to get across them as it is. I will have no more
money spent on such trash.”
“This fish is capital, the sauce is a chef d'
oeuvre,” exclaimed the lady, hastening to
change the discourse; ‘do let me recommend it.’
Dinner proceeds, enlivened by a little series of
delicate attentions on the part of the wife.—
One thing is advised; another, which she is well
aware is her husband’s aversion, playfully for
bidden, with a “my dear Francis, you are too
careless of yourself—consider Its horreurs de la
digestion.”
Dinner declines into dessert, and Mr. Cald
well eats his walnuts, peeled
“By no other hand, as you may guess,
But that of Fairly Fair,”
alias Mrs. Caldwell’s very pretty fingers.—
Towards the middle of his second glass of port,
he perceives that there are tears in his wife’s
soft blueeyes—which become actual sobs as he
progresses in the third glass.
“I see how it is, Laura; well you shall have
the tables.”
“The tables cried the lady, with an air as the
school boy said of ancient Gaul, quartered into
three halves, of disdain, wounded feelings, and
tenderness; “1 have rea’ly lost all wish for them.
It was of you Francis, that I was thinking.—
Good God! can you weigh a few paltry pounds
against the pleasure of gratifying your wife. I
see I have lost my hold on your affections.—
What have I done? I whose whole life has but
one happiness, that of pleasing you!”
We will not pursue the subject to its lust con
jugal close of tears and kisses; suffice it to say
that the next day the tables are sent home; not
given—but only accepted as a lavoi.
Now this is a beautiful way of doing business.
We seriously recommended its consideration
as a study to our lady readers. Scolding
docs much, for as the old riddle says, “any
thing”
“Many a man who lias a wife,
Submits to for a qniel file.”
But, the lair half of the world out of whose
very remains the rose, as the eastern proverb
has it, was tormed at the creation—flattery, that
honey ot lhe heart, is the true art of stray. In
stead of divide, our new state secret is, “flatter to
reign.”
Boston, August 20.
The Frigate Independence.—This line
frigate was taken out of the Dry Dock, at
Charlestown Navy Yard, and hauled
round to the adjacent wharf to receive her
masts, on \V ednesday. The operation of
floating her out ol the dock was very in
teresting, and attracted the fixed attention
of more than a thousand spectators, of
both sexes. Governor Everett and family,
and several other gentlemen and ladies,
were on board, as was also Commodore
Downes, who assumed the immediate di
rection of the exciting and critical opera
tion. Many spectators, stationed abaft in
the receiving ship Columbus, had a favor
able position for observation, and the re
mainder, entirely surrounding the margin
of the dock, formed a continuous, vet
ever mutable and picturesque border, as
seen from the decks of the Independence.
About hall-past eleven, two small vents
were opened in the dock-gates, and two
others near the bottom of the dock, and
suddenly the waters leaped in, at each
apperture, like bounding animals, each
counter current gushing against the others,
till the whole body of water was lashed
into a milk-white loam. As witnessed
from the stern ports, this furious conflict
of the currents—boiling, dashing, and
then dying away forward—was an ex
ceedingly animating spectacle. Gradually
the water arose above the inlets, and the
turmoil subsided, and at 12 o’clock the
“shores” which had hitherto supported
the frigate began to drop one by one from
their positions, and glide alongside. She
floated in eighteen feet water. As soon
as the waters within and without were in
equilibrio—twenty feet deep—the bridge
on the gates was cleared of spectators,
the gates thrown open, and tlie frigate
dropped out without perceptible motion.
Nothing could exceed the case, regulari
ty, anti simplicity of the manoeuvres by
which this result was effected. Every
thing was in time and plac e.
Notwithstanding the large number of
persons present—some of whom collect
ed on the steps descending into the dock,
and were within imprudent proximity to
the frigate—not the slightest accident or
incident occurred to mar the gratification
derived from the spectacle.
The Independence was hauled up
about a year since. She was then a. se
venty-four, but has been razeed and al
most entirely rebuilt, and is now only a
double-banked frigate, but mounts, sixty
thirty-two pounders. She is considered
to be superior in every respect to the old
fashioned seventy-fours—being deeper
between decks, yet presenting less surface
to the fire of an enemy.—Statesman.
From correspondence of the New York Express.
Detroit, Michigan, Avgust 14, 1836.
At length I am in tlie far TVcst—i have seen
or heard nothing worthy of note On my way out,
excepting a theological discussion on board of one
of the lake steanmboats between a deacon of the
Presbyterian church of Cleaveland, a Mormon
priest and a most confirmed and avowed infidel.
During the controversy J got hold of the whole
Mormon doctrine. It is quite miraculous, but I
think fitted for none but western temperaments;
and how well fitted for these you can judge from
a fact told by the Mormon di vine or prophet, or
apostle, or what not, that they had increased
from 1 to 40,000 within the last five years—
commencing with tlie great founder and ex
pounder of their faith Joe Smith, to whom the
vision (not spiritual but material and tangible)
discovered the golden plates (the Mormon bible)
and to whom was given the power of transla
tion. An extract copy of the characters on this
plate, the Rev. Mormon told me, was sent to the
learned lingust of Columbia college, N. Y., but
they were heaven characters and beyond their
divination.—And so the Lord or Mormon in
spired Joe Smith. There are 12 persons who
have sworn under oath to having seen the plates
—but they are now shut from profane eyes, and
I believe ail eyes.—I will when I have leisure,
send you some “Mormon intelligence,” for I
think your readers will be not a little interested
in this sect which is without doubt spreading
with more rapidity than any other of the thou
sand new denominants of the West. The great
inspired that we had on board has visited every
village and log hut this side of tlie mountains in
the employ of the Mormons. Ho was on his re
turn from Canada, where he says, they have
many flourishing societies and many new tem
ples. But adieu to Mormonism.
There is a foolish and unfounded story going
the rounds of lhe papers of a fight between Gov.
Mason of this State and some redoubtable Col.
or Gen. of Ohio. This is so far from the truth,
that no such personage as the latter has been
at the Hotel (where the recontre is said to have
taken place) nor does any one here know such a
character. I have had the honor of being pre
sented to the Governor. He is a very young
man but of very prepossessing and gentlemanly
manners, and has an exceedingly intelligent
countenance. I am told that he is popular with
all parties. His private characters is, l believe,
unimpeachable. There is nothing of the hot
spur in his personal appearance, though his mes
sages in relation to the disputed territory are
somewhat pugnacious.
If any thing occurs in this mongrel State I
will give you notice. They are begiuing to
warm up on the subject of the election of mem
bers of the Convention to accept or reject the
terms of admission to the Union. The Vanites
generally, are for accepting—the Whigs for re-
rejecting the terms. Adieu.
A MAGIC FLUTE.
For some time Mr. Gath rope, the governor
of the House of Correction, had been surprised
by hearing the soft strains of a flute within that
prison, and in vain had he exercised his vigil-
ance to discover whence those sounds proceed
ed, as no instrument could be discovered in any
part of lhe prison, nor upon the persons of any
of the prisoners. The other day however the
mystery was cleared up, for on removing a stool
in the day-room one of the feet came off, and it
was found tlten that one of the prisoners had
mast ingeniously constructed a flute out of it, in
order to lighten the weary hours of his incar
ceration. Wc cau hardly think that one who
thus disposed of his liesure time is irredaimably
views.— York Herald.
-MAGNANIMITY AND GRATITUDE OF A LION.
Prince, a tame lion, on board Ins majesty’*
ship Ariadne, had a keeper to whom he was
much attatched; the keeper got drunk one day,
and, as the captain never forgave the crime,
the keeper was ordered to be flogged. The
grating was rigged on the main deck opposite
Prince’s den, a large barred up place, th* pillars
strong and with iron. When the keeper began
to strip, Prince rose gloomily from his couch,
and got as near his friend as pr^sible; on behold
ing his bareback, he walked hastily around the
den and when he saw the boatswain inflict the
first Insb, his eyes sparkled with fire, and his
sides resounded with the strong nnd quick beat
ing of his tail; at last when the blood began to
flow from the unfortunate man’s back and the
“clotted cats” jerked their gory knots close to
the lion’s den, his fury became tremendous, ho
roared with a voice of thunder, shook the strong
fours of the prison, as if they had been osiers, and
finding his efforts to break loose unavailing, he
rolled and shrieked in a’manner the most terrifie
that is possible to conceive. The captain fearing
that he might break loose, ordered the marines
to load and present at Prince; this threat redou
bled his rage, and at last tlie captain desired the
keeper to be cast off and goto his friend. It is
impossible to describe the joy evinced bv the li
on; he licked with care the mangled and bleeding
back oft he cruelly treated seaman, carrcssed him
with his paws, which he folded round the keeper
as if to defy any one renewing a similar treat,
mentand it was only after several hours that
Prince would allow the keeper to quit his protec.
lion and return among those who had ill used
him.—Marlin's history of the British Colonies.
Affecting Scene.—The following simple but
touching story is from a French paper; La
Droit. An old man, Ins age eighty.two, an-
swered to his name und raising himself with
difficulty, was supported by his daughter before
the tribunal of his judges. To the question
of the presiding magistrate, his dauguter replied
in a tremulous voice; “My father does not hoar
you, gentlemen, permit me to answer for him.”
President—Your father is brought before ue
charged with begging and being homelesi.
Daughter—May Heaven pardon those who
have told you that. Gentlemen, from the Jay
I was born iny father never left me, und while
1 can work never shall be a bunhern to any
one. A month since I fell sick; we were with
out any money; my father rose early and
went out. He did not return til) evening—then
he sat down by my bedside and burst into tears.
I asked what ailed him. He said it was a sad
thing to be told. He applied for a situation as
a laborer, but his age was against him. 1 shall
have to beg, said he; for how can 1 let you die
for want of assistance. 1 told him 1 was better,
and that 1 would go to work next morning.—
The next morning I was unable to move.—
My father went out without shaking to me.—
An hour afterwards I was informed that the
guards had arrested him for asking alms.—
Gentlemen, if he did so, it was not for himself
but for me when I was too sick to work. If
you will pardon him for this time, 1 promise he
shall never offend you again.
The affecting manner iu which tlie poor girl
spoke softened even the magistrate und jus
tice, or rather law gave way to feeling and th*
octogenarian was discharged.
Curious historicalfact.—During the troubles
in the reiga of King Charles the first, a country
girl came up to Loudon in search of a place as
servant maid; but not succeeding, she applied
herself to carrying out beer from a beer house,
and was one of those then called tub women.—
The brewer, observing a well looking girl in
this low occupation, took her into his fumily as
n servant; and, after a while, she behaving her
self with so much prudence and decorum, he
married her; but he died while she was yet a
y«iug woman, and left her a large fortune.—
The business of the brewery was dropped, and
the young woman was recommended to Mr.
Hyde as a gentleman of skill in the law. to set-
tie her affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards the
great Earl of Clarendon, finding the widow’s
fortune very considerable; married her. Of
this marriage there was no other issue than a
daughter, who was afterwards the wife of Jamea
the second, and mother of Mary and Anne,
queen* of England.
A Civil Fellow.—The jail in Nantucket is
in such a deplorable state of dilapidation that
the only person confined in it recently sent hia
compliments to the civil authorities, and inform-
ed them that, if the establishment was not effec
tually repaired, he should not be able to stay
there in bad weather much as he wished to oblige
them. This fellow is probably akin to the jailor,
who occasionally nllowing a p isoner to go out
for a walk in the evening, threatened to lock
him out altogether if lie didnt keep better hours
and come home sooner.—Philadelphia News.
Legal Pathos.—Not long since, an eminent
lawyer in the State of Ohio, closed a pathetical
harangue to a jury in the following strnin:—
“And now the shades of night had shrouded th*
earth in darkness; all nature lay wrapt in sol
emn thought, when these defendant ruffian*
came rushing like a mighty torrent from th*
hills, down to the abode of peace and happiness,
hroke often the plaintiff’s door, separated th*
weeping mother from the screeching infant, and
took away my client’s rifle; gentlemen of the
jury, for which we charge only fifteen dollars.”
Pensions to Willows.—The following is th*
construction of the commissioners upon th*
Pension Law of the last session of congress:
“In reyly to your inquiry I have to state, that
the third section of the act of 4th July, 1836, i*
construed to embrace the widows of ail officer*
and soldiers who may have died prior to the pas
sage of the act, if the marriage took place be
fore the expiration of service. If the deceased
husband received the benefit of lhe act of 7th
June, 1832, the first payment hy the amount
paid to the husband. In that case her pension
would be a continuation of his.”
.4n Enviable Reputation.—We copy th* fol
lowing from the National Inleligencer:
In the first rank of respectability, whether of
character or ability, in the present Hons* *f
Representatives, stands Samuel Hoar, of Massa
chusetts. Some idea of his character at home,
as well as here, may be gathered from the fol
lowing anecdote, which we find in the Boston
Galaxy
“A case of a criminal character was lately
tried in Middlesex, in which the jury could not
agree. They were, as usual, to return into
court, and state the reason why lliey could not
come to a decision. The judge asked if the
difficulty was in the law or the evidence. Ono
of the jurors made answer that it was neither in
the law nor the evidonce, but m ihe plea: for,
said he, the ia w and the evidence makes the man
guilty enough, but Squire Hoar said in hi* plen
tiiat he believed upon his conscience that the
man was innocent, and as Squire Hoar always
speaks the truth, the jury don't seem lo know hour
to get over it”
Chancellor Kent, says the Northampton
Courier, was in town last week. He w very
pleasaot nay, quite a facetious man. Says he
to ‘mine host,’ ‘you are the best landlord 1 ev« r
saw.’ ‘And you are the best judge I ever met
with,’ responded the hotel keeper.
