Two young men w r ere charged with as saulting and battering an old lady, by run ning their buggy over her in the road. The defendants were cleared by the following irrefutable argument to the jury by coun sel : “ Gentlemen of the Jury, the truth is that the old lady on the horse, and these boys in the buggy, passed and repassed each other in the road so often, that she got into a state of hilucenation and conclu ded that the horse she was riding had kicked her out of the saddle !” Another lawyer advocated the rights of his client, who was charged with fraud, in the following lucid language: “May it please your Honor, mere inadequacy of consideration is no ground for rescinding a contract —when couj/led by itself /” In a case where a certain individual was charge with using obscene language m the presence of a female, his attorney took the following invulnerable position : “ Gentle men of the Jury, the indictment charges one set of language, and the evidence proves another set of language, consequent ly you will have to acquit this defendant.

We have just heard of one of the strang est incidents probably known to history. It seems that a farmer by the name of Francis Massey, living about three miles andahalffYom Hurt well, was in his field plowing, one day last week while his wife was assisting in hoeing. The wife left her child, about thirteen months old, at the end of a row while she howl around. On returning—horrible to relate —she discov ered a large black snake coiled around her child, with one of its hands down the snake's throat. With true motherly affection, she seised the child, not caring for the snake, when the snake uncoiled its hold and drop ped off - . With a scream the wife summon ed her husband, who dispatched his snake ship in short order. It measured some thing over five feet in length. The child’s life w as nearly gone, and in a few minutes more, no doubt, would have been entirely extinct: but we are happy to state that it has entirely revived. We have heard of some men leaving black snakes unmolested, because they catch rats, but when they get to catching child ren. we think it high time they were made short work of. This writer believes in killing everything in the shape of a snake. —Hartwell Messenger June 1 at, 1 SCI. A strange fatality seems to have hung over this youth, which finally culminated in his death in the following tragical man ner, on Sunday March 2d, 1873 : His father, who is said to have been very cruel to him, ordered him to cut down a tree fora squir rel, which the boy declined to do. having been taught by a pious teacher and his mother to regard the Sabbath. But his father compelled him to obey him. The tree was cut down, and in its descent felled the boy to the earth, injuring him so se verely that he died in four hours. The im pression of his form remains plainly visible to this day. and, strange to say, nothing will grow on the spot. The father has since forsaken his wife, taken up with a disreputable woman, and left the country. The mother, who is said to be a good wo man. still lives in this County, and is doing better than she ever did with her faithless husband. Cards.

Solicitor Reese has won golden opinions here from his suavity and gentlemanly bearing towards all with whom he came in contact.
