when I camo home.” 1 pat the question. “Ho said as he had cut oft the heads and legs of the hogs, and had skinned them,, nobody could tell whether they were deer or hogs.” . My client seemed pleased with the answer to hia question!-—“Now call an Capt. Drackcn, and ho will give my character.” “Capt. Bracken, stand up and be sworn. Arc you acqnintcd with the plaintiff, and how long have you known him?” “I have known him from a boy.” “What is bis character?” "Well, lie always dealt fair enough with bw.” “Bat for his honesty; you never heard any thing against him for honesty?” “Well, I can't exactly say that; ho stole a fine hog from mo that X had killed and hang tip in the smoke house; X tracked him next morning, and found the hog at his house.” Eariden laughed aloud, and my head fell at least foity degrees. The ease was closed before the jury. The proof was positive. I sprang to my feet, and addressing the Court, “X ask the Court to instruct the jury, that before they can find for the defendant the evidence must bo so strong that if the plaintiff was on his trial for stealing the hogs, they would send him to the penitentiary ?” "I admit that to bo the law; let the jury take the ease,” said Mr. Bariden. The jnry retired to their room, and the Court adjourned. I walked silently to the tav* era, amidst the jeers of thq lawyers, and the exultation of my competitor for theverdict. The jury wore out all night, and jnst as tho Court met in the morn* ing, returned with a verdict of “one cent damages for tho plaintiff.” The defend* ant rushed np to mo and tendered the cent. Mr. Rariden most indignantly stepped np to tho foreman, “How could you find such a verdict?” “Upon your own admissions.” . “What did X admit ?” “Mr. Smith said if we found for the do* fondant, wo most send tho plaintiff to tho pemtentiaiy, and yon admitted that to bo the law; so wo could not think of sending a man well off, and with a good tavern stand, to the penitentiary, for stealing two little bogs, and poor at that.”—Judgment was rendered for one cent in damages, and over $300,00 costs. All my imaginary income from the verdict vanished, and tho next time 1 heard from tho parties the tavern of tho defendant, was advertised by the Sheriff to pay tho costs. This cose has occupied more space than ■ 1 would have liked, but it contains a professional moral worth remembering. .Soon after tho above ease, camo on, in thesamo court, tho trial of Hugh Monroe for murder. Tho coso was prosecuted by James Whitcomb, for the Slate, and defended by Charles H. Test, James Bariden, James T. Brown, and myself. Hugh Monroo was a native of North Carolina, bnt had resided some lime In Rush county: He and tho deceased had-hcen for several months on bad terms, when they met at a shooting match.! While the deceased was fixing the target on tho jibard, Monroe the ball passed throngh deceased, aud he fell and died without a struggle,! . Soon afterthc occurrence I was feitting in my office nt Conncrsvillc, one morning, when a venerable man, uncommonly line looking, with hair as- white as snow, finely hut plainly dressed, entered and .took-a scat. Ho informed me that ho was from North Carolina, and was tho father .of Hugh Monroe, then confined in jail at Rushvillo. “1 have-come to see you, aiid see whether you think you can do anything.for him.” *T can try.” “Oh, if I could have brought with me William Gaston, of onr State, I would have been sat isfied. I offered 'hi ni a deed to my farm to come with mo and defend my son, hut ho conld not leave home. I must take yon, and hope fortho best.” I was tho only f counselTeed byftho: father. My colleagues were employed by the son. Hugh Monroo was indicted for murder. A strong ease .was mode by tho testimony against him. - It was at least a ridge ease that, would have justified a verdict of guilty of murder. The venerable father ! sal by tho sido of his son with his eye* suffused! with team.—The argument lasted two: whole- days. Tho counsel Tor tho prisoner were well, trained in the field 1 of advocacy, and. I never, to this day,* heard a: : coso moro , strongly defended. Tto charge of tho. Oodrt, though just, was against ns, and nsthe juryrelirOd tho old father rose from his scat and advanced to, where I was standing, took mo by the liand, tho tears rolling down his furrowed cheeks, “Ob, Mr. Smith, if they hang my sym, I shall go homo and toll his old mother that Mr. Gaston conld have done no more for him than yon havo done.** His utterance was choked, and with the squeeze of the hand we parted. Tho jury relurued a verdict of Manslaughter, sixteen years in the penitentiary, so strong was the case against him.. As the verdict was prononneed—the- father said, “thank God, his life is spared 1” and the tears gashed from his eyes ss ho approached and threw his trembling arms around the neck of tho prisoner.. Monroo was pardoned by the Governor and returned to North Carolina to his aged parents where ho was received like tho returning prodigal.

with a shoo knife which Fields had in his hand, of which wound Murphy languished for some days and died. Fields was arrested and confined in jail at Brookvillc. Court met, and tho grand jury found a bill of indictment for morder against Fields. There was much excitement at the trial; officer Murphy had many warm fi lends, and the services of the revolutionary prisoner plead strongly with tho people. The jury tliat tried the case was one of the most select that X havo ever scon in one box. The evidence was clear and conclusive, leaving no room to doubt. The defense pet up was that tho crime,was committed under a frenzied slate of excitement, to which it was answered by tho prosecuting attorney and charged by Judge Eggleston, who presided, that the knowingly killing of an officer, in the discharge of his duly, armed with legal process, and the fact made known to the execution defendant, is murder in the eye of the law. The jury returned a verdict ofguilly,.and the .court sentenced the prisoner to be hnng; tho day of tho execution was fixed by the court. In tho meantime a numlwr of distinguished citizens of tho county sallied forth in every direction with petitions for his pardon. Thousands signed them in consideration'of his revolutionary services.—Tho day of the execution arrived; tho county in mass surrounded the gallows; tho last moment bad come, when Gov. James B. Bay stepped npon the scaffold, commanded silence and handed tho prisoner a pardon. Groat was the sensation; Fields was taken from the platform and conveyed, to his homo, to Hvo a few years longer to repent of his deeds; and the andienco retired with evident disappointment in their countenances at not seeing a man bung.

other .case in which I wns employed, but | got no fee. Wo elected * big two-fisted | Kentuckian a Justice of tho Peace. Ho bad been a great fighter in bis young days, j I will call him John Lindsay. Soon after ho was elected, there was brought he-, Toro him a man I will call Jim Dolce on. a charge of assault and battery. Jim soon became boisterous; and Iwgan to abuse the justice. ’Squire Liiidspy di* : reeled him to ho quiet; but Jim grew worse worse, until the ’Squire could' stand. it no longer. “Jim," says- the ’Squire, “I know little about the power; tho law gives me to keep order in Court, but.I know very well the power the AI-j mighty has given, me,and so shall yon.”! At tho moment tho ’Squire sprang upon; Jim, knocked him down and kicked him I ont of tho office. Jim got up, and wont■ to ’Squire Hodges, his brother-in-law,; made an affidavit of tho assault and bat- i tcry, and had 'Squire Lindsay, arrested. ’ I went with him to tho Justice, aud ieo- | ved to dismiss tho case,' on tho ground, that tho Justice was a brother-in-law to I the prosecutor. My motion was sustain-; cd, and the.Justice entered a Judgment! of acquittal. Boico then went before: ’Squiio Loepart and filed another affidavit. Lindsay was again arrested and taken before Lcopart, I. again appeared for Lindsay, and moved (or bis acquittal; upon the grouml that ho could not bo pul j in jeopardy twice for the same offence under our Constitution. ■ The Justice sustained the motion and the ’Squire was finally acquitted, and from that tiiiio forward there was as good older in the office of ’Squire Lindsay as in tho Supremo Court rooni at Washington, where the Marshal opens the Court: with “Oyca. O yea,” and closes with.“God save the.United States, and this honorable Coni t.” • TEETH IE TESHSIOXY. In on interesting trial at Bashville, in which.J was engaged as conncil/tny principal witness to sustain the case was a woman by the name of Elizabeth BlackStone.- She hod sworn positively as To the facts of the case. Messrs', lest oiid Rariden, the counsel:on the opposition side, saw. that the ease was with mo'unless they con)d Impeach her testimony.— She was a stranger, and none knew-her character, good or bad. She hail testified, however, that-she was in the State of Ohio at a particular time. Tliis-was taken* down liy the counsel,*and upon that point they expected to contradict and discredit her. After she left the stand, they called a witness that resided: Jn. Illinois lo provo that at tho time sho stated she was in Ohio,-she was at a dance in Illinois, where the witness was. Elizabeth wore a beautiful net of artificial teeth mouth Bill! ; Sho eat some' distance back from the witness stand. .The .wit-, ness from Illinois, swore positively to her person, and that she was at the dance in Illinois at the lime, directly contradicting her. * The connselgavc over the witness to me.

A GOOSE CASE.

Soon after this trial I was distinguish* ed by being employed in ono of the most interesting, if not important, eases that over occurred in tho county. It was an action for slanderous words spoken, charging tho plaintiffs wife with stealing'the gooso of tbb defendant's wife. Tho par* tics were highly respectable. - The neighborhood was about equally .divided, and separated into classes, holding no intercourse with each other. The declaration charged that in consequence of the slander the neighbors had refused to Imvb any intercourse whatever with the wife of the plaintiff. Damages 85,000. Tho case was called. Ool. Wallace, Gen. Noble, and Gen. McKinney for the plaintiff; William K. Morris and myself for the defendant." Pleas “not guilty,V and justification.'*' Witnesses on separate sides of tho court house, a few to prove the words; some os to the good character of tho parties,'which nobody disputed; but (be most of the witnesses’were females, to prove the identity of the goose in question, as that seemed to ho tho 'great point of the ease.- The law was clear.; Thospcalting of the words: was not denied before the jury; but who was the owner of tho goose? It soon become evident that tho caso must trim upon that question, and tho utmost tact and ingenuity were d [splayed by the attorneys, with many-; sulc-bnr remarks, is tho trial progressed.: The plaintiff proved by a host of witnesses that ho was tho owncrof the goose—in fact that she was hatched his. We proved that the gooso was ours—rthat we owned'hor mother and her grand mother, that they were all while, and had a peculiar propensity to toko to the water as soon as they wore ,out of the shell. The casq seemed to be about balanced. Court adjourned for dinner with tho remark of the plaintiffs counsel that they had hut one witness to examine; in rebutting, Court met—the plaintiff's called their witness, a very respectable looking, lady of somb seventy years. She took tho stand, all eyes were upon her, for she seemed like; tho Prcsi : dent of the Senate about to give the casting vote Upon a lie of that body. Plaintiffs counsel: “Madam/bow long have you been acquainted with' geese, and do you know who owns the goose in .question?” -It was a hold' question and was conclusive to our minds that the counsel know before they put the question; what the'answer would, bof .We felt that all depended upon the answer. The witnese raised her “specks” and robbed the glasses with her hands, and in a strpng firm voice answered: *T have been more than sixty years acquainted with geese, and I know that this goose belongs to-the wife of the plaintiff.”- This was direct and positive, and the counsel for plaint iff rested, “Take the witness;” says Ool. Wallace, tho leading counsel, triumphantly. Now came the trying question on onr part. ‘ Should we ask a single cross question. I thought not, hot was overruled by my associates, and the fatal question was pat, “how do y ou know that that particular goose belongs to the wife of tho plaintiff?” - “Because she was a wljUe goose, and r pared. - .1 owned her <great grand mother; and paced, and so did all that breed.” This was conclnsive; no more questions were asked. Tho case was argued at great length and with unusual ability, espccially on the side of the defendant, but we were unable to get over the evidence that- this was a “pacing” goose. Verdict, one dollar damages. The most remarkable fact in .the case was that it did not occur to one of the counsel for the defendant that there never was a trotting goes a, that they all paced, until it was too Tate, and our opponents had triumphed.

ERASCIS ADKIXSOX,

ATTOHSl'YSf COUNSELOR AT LA IV, VEVAY", INDIANA.

Aa I was on my return homo from Indianapolis, accompanied by my friend the lato George ,11. Dunn, w« stopped nt a liltlo shanty tavern in the woods between Lillie Blue River and Rashvilie, to stay for tho night. Tho landlord X call Perry Laden. Wo had a good open log lire, a tolerable {nipper, and look onr scats.— Wo were evidently strangers at the inn. Tho landlord, who was a small, frisky, 'run about fellow, eyed ns for some lime, and at last drew up.his "spUnt-hollomcd chair" and commenced: "Are either of yon lawyers?" "Yes, both of us." "Then you are tho very men I want to tee —I have a lawsuit for you.". "What about?" "Tho man that keeps tho tav*. ern in sight down tho toad, (whom I call Elzy G. Lee,) has slandered mb tho worst kind." "Indeed, what did ho say. of yon?" "He said that 1 fed my travelers bn stolen pork." "Perhaps ho was only in fun." "Not he, it is all done to get the traveling custom to his tavern," This looked plausible, and ns I practiced in the Rush Circuit Court, tho matter began to assume a serious, business like character, as I thought myself somebody in slander cases, although "Starkie on Slander," in two volumes, bad hot then met the cyo of tho profession. Wo generally carried with us, on tho circuit, “Espinassc’s Nisi Prlus," and "Peak's Evidence," with dogcars turned down at each heading. Judge Dunn was my senior in practice, and had some experience in the difficulties that sometimes embarrass counsel upon the trial, when, for tho first timo, they learn that their clients only told tho truth os far ns they .went, bat forgot to tell the whole truth,' which alone would enable them to moot tho true state of tho case before tho court. "One question more Mr. Laden," said Judge Dunn, "did you □over kill any body's hogs by accident and bring them home, out of which your neighbor might have made up bis story against you.” "Never, I never killed a hog in tho woods in my life; besides 1 can prove my character from a boy, by Captain Bracken." —This settled the matter in lavor of the action. Judge Dunn, living at Lawrencebnrg, and not practicing in Rushville, the case was given up to me; tho fee agreed upon, twenty dollars certain, and one half the damages contingent. The case was brought at tho next term of tho court, and Captain Bracken subpoenaed to prove tho good character from infancy ofmy client. My expectations were high of the largo damages that 1 was to divide with my client; 1 hadicad of 820,000, 810,000, 85,000, and such verdicts in aggravated cases of slander. The court came on, my case was called. "A rule fora plea," says I. "Plead ins tan tor," says James Sariden fordefendant ."Hand the plea to me, Mr. Clerk," says I, Tho clerk banded over the pica. A single glanco satisfied me that there was trouble ahead. The plea was a "justification" of the/voids, and charging the stealing of two hogs on my-client, tho properly of some ono unknown. 1 told my client tho substance of tho plea, "It is all a lie, they can’t prove it, and if they do Capt. Bracken will clear up my character,” Of course I took issno on tho pica, A jury was called, and Mr. Rariden called to the witness stand a girl that had lived with my client at one time, but had been discharged some timo before tho trial. She swore positively that my client had killed two .hogs in tho woods, skinned them, cut off their heads and brought them home before daylight on a sled; and said that Ho could kill enough for his winter's meat for tho whole family. "How is this," I said in his car. "Ask her what'I said

Maple Sugar Crop of 1857.

; The steady falling off in tho product of cane sugar in the United States has caused increased attention to. tho manufacture of maple sugar in almost every section of country where .(his valuable tree grows. The crop...of the present j-oar probably exceeds any former one, though the quality is not always as good as it might have been, had proper care been taken in its manufacture.. The crop in the Stale of Now York has been estimated tit 20,000,000 pounds, which at 12 j- cents tt- pound, considered low, amounts to §2,500,000; being in quantity and value nearly equal to one-half the product from cane last year, and is probably much moro than will be realized for some time to come from the new sugar cane that is now.producing so much interest throughout the country,' even should it prove what some so earnestly claim for it. Few persons realize the amount and value ot the maple, sugar produced in this country, and the quantity': might be largely increased. Its impor-j tance is such that more care should be exercised in its.manufacture in order, to improve its color and quantity; It is an easy matter to secure these,'so thatitwUl compare favorable with the best sugar cane. i ■ •
