name of Betty Frazier. She was a serial), tough looking, rather swarthy woman; her husband, George Frazier, was a poor cripple, and with their children was entircly supported by Betty. They had set* tied upon a small fraction of government land, intending to purchase at the sales. The Land Office was at Cincinnati, and General James Findlay was the Receiver. The spring of tho year, after a severe win* ter, bad come; the sales were to take place the next winter, and Betty bad the season before her to raise the money'to pay for her land. She commenced with a young stock of hogs, caring for them daily,'driving them to the best mist,' and preparing a good patch of corn to finish tho fattening process. She had one horse only to tend her crop, and ultimately, to ride to Cincinnati when she drove her bogs dovyn to sell, and-Lny her land. Aboat midsummer sho saw a horseman, ride op io her cabin.. She met him at . the bars; “Well, General Hannah how do you do i\ "Very well, Mrs. Frazier.’’ “What on earth has brought yon all the way from Brookville to my poor cabin?”' “I am sorry to tell yon, Mrs. Frazier, that I am the Sheriff, and have an execution against your property." “Well, Generah I always submit to the law; coino with me to tho stable and 1 will give you my. only horeo as the best I can do.” There were no’‘exemption laws” then. Betty and the General proceeded . to the stable. It was a strong Jog building, with a single door, no window, - overlaid with-a solid platform of logs, and filled above with hay for the horse. The door fastened outside with a largo wooden pin in a log. “There, General, is tho horse—take him.” The General stepped in and commenced untying tho horse. Betty, immediately fastened tho door outside, driving the pin into (he hole to its full length, and left the General to his reflections while sho attended to her household affairs. Time passed away; night came on; but no relief to the captured General. Morning came, and with it came Betty. “Well, General, how did you sleep last night.” "Not very well; I am ready to compromise ibis mailer; if you wiii let me out and show me the ford over While Water, (the tiver wAs muddy and high,) I will leave you and tho, horso and return tho execution ‘no property found.’-” “Upon honor?” “Yes, upon honour.” Belly opened tho door. The General mounted his horso and silently followed Betty down to the river side. “There, General, you will go in just abovo that big sycamore, and como out at that haw bush you see,” The' General started; at .the’second step both horse and rider were under 5 water out Of bight, arid tho hat of tho General was seen floating down tho river. ’ Stilt, ho being ona of the pioneers, and bis horso a trained swimmer; gallantly stemined the current, and exactly struck* tho haw bush, his horso swimming to tho very'shore, while Betty stood on the bank screaming —“I guess tho Qrookvillo officers will let me alone now dill 1 havo sold my pigs and bought my land.” But the ond was not yet. Time rolled on; the pigs grew to bo well fatted hogs. Betty mountpd her pony; the little boys started tbo hogs for Cincinxati;*th'ey had ten days to got there before tho land sales; tho distance was about seventy miles. Nothing unusual occurred on the road until they arrived at New Trenton, at Squire Rockafullow’s., The night was stormy; The snow fell deep; and'next morning found Betty at tho usual hour on tho pony, welt wrapped, with an infanta few hours old in her bosom. ■ Sho arrived with' her bogs at Cincinnati the day'before the sale, sold them for cash, and tho late General Findlay told ms that she'stood by his side on tho box and bid off her land, with her infant in her arms. Surely “troth is stranger than fiction.”

chickens had been roasted whole, largo dishes of beans and potatoes, with a boiled bam, turnips and boiled cabbago in profusion. The old lady, dwelt with evident delight upon the big custard pie that she bad made “with her own bands,” such as no other woman in the neighborhood could make, “though she said it herself.” All this looked bad for my client, and my case, “We rest hero.” “No evidence to offer;” said I; all I had was before the jury, in what tho’ lawyers call “profert* in curio.” Tho caso was opened by Jndgo Perry, in a most brilliant speech of some two hours. I followed and made only two points in the case; Jirit, thaUho plaintiff bad sustained no damages , in consequence of my client breaking his engagement, as sbo could many a much letter looking man any day; and second, that the calico dresses would be needed: in courting other sweethearts, and the sapper was eaten by the intended bride and her friends, and my client gdt nono of it.; Mr. Rariden in llij close assaijed with all his powers my positions, bnt seemed to.press upon the jury the calico dresses and the extra “fixina” for supper, Hie' Court.charged the jury with usual ability; bnt the moment the Judge touched the calico and the sapper, I filtw it was all over with my case. Foreman—"wefiridayerdict for the plaintiff, three dollars for the calico dresses; and three dollars and 'a half for thc'soppei\ total six dollars and fifty cents.” The court —"Judgment on the verdict.” “Gentleman of the jury, yon are discharged till morning, with the thanks of the Court for your verdict in this important case.”

on an appeal. The facetious James F. Brown for the defendant, and I had the good luck to bo employed by the school commissioners. The case was important, as there were several other refractory eases waiting the result of this one. Tho case was sabmitted to the court; the evidence was conclusive, and 1 opened to the associate Judges, for the plaintiff; Mr. Brown arose with the greatest apparent confidence, addressing the court, "there is one point in the case that is conclusive against the plaintiff.” "Where is that?” says I. “You have not proved that my client Is an able bodied man.”- As be said it his client walked up and stood directly fronting the judges. ‘ Ho was a man about six feet high, square shouldered, with an arm nt large, as the leg of a common man, immense whiskers, (mustaches were confined at that day entirely to the French barbers.) “Mr. Brown,” I said, “is that maoyour client.” Brown gave bim a contemptuous look. “Yea air.” "Do you contend that he is not an able bodied man?” “May it please your honors, 1 do not wish to pivot my cate on that point.” The argument closed; the caso was with the court. Judge Foget, “Mr. Clerk hand me the papeis; the jury will bo discharged till morning, as it will take the court at) the afternoon to decide this cise.” The judge spread the papers and looked them over lor some time, and at length began bv reading aloud the summons, the subpoena's for ibe witnesses and returns of the constable and sheriff. “There is some informality, hot the coart thinks they will do. We now como to the great question of the case: Is the defendant an able bodied man? Yes, Mr. Brown; thntia the question. You plead well on that, bnt it wad nothing hot the plea of a lawyer; you admitted that the man that stood before ris was your client, and the Court wilHake notice ‘fishio,* as the law books say. that •he is an able bodied mao, aad no mistake; judgment for two dollars.”. This was the great leading case, and settled all others. My clients paid my fee,of five.dollars, congratulated me upon tho-result, and years afterwards gave me their united, support for Congress.

Singular Case of Innocence.

General. , an intelligent and highly respectable citizen of Lexington, Ky,, Is a very zealous advocate of the Campl.’I-' ite doctrine, while his wife, a most cstiimable Indy, daughter of Col. J. 0. S.V; is an equally enthusiastic advocate of lh{ Methodist persuasion. As may he well supposed, religion is often the subject of warm debate; but the General, being a shrewd and skillful debater, has. always managed, until very recently, to prove the victor. It happened, however, to be tbe General's misfortune, a few Jays ago,' to take a trip to Philadelphia, and while there to accompany bis good lady to the store of it Quakeress, of whom, while in the , act of doing op some ribbon, tho General made free to inquire if them were many CamtlUt* in Philadelphia. Tho Quakeress, in the most innocent manner in the world, replied, ‘T don't know that l am hardly able to answer thee, hut if there are, thee will find them at tho Zoological Gardens with the other animals," The General’* wife burst into an immoderate fit oT laughter, and all subsequent efforts to draw from the General an expression of ibis religious views have pro ■] ved unavailing, while his wife enjoys a clear field, ' ;

Yoca Coonrr P*na.—The following from Fowler 4 Well’s “Life Illustrated/’ is so goqd and to the point, that we recommend it to our friends without further comment:

ROBERT IV. LAMB,

"We occasionally receive letters in which the writers express their determination to stop their country or village paper and take one of ’ our publications instead. We always regret to receive such intimations. We think that a man ought to support bis own paper first, and then if he can afford to take a paper from a distance let him do so, and we shall be happy to furnish him with "Life Illustrated," The country presses, in our opinion, the most important in its effects on the enlightenment of the natron. It conveys in ten thousand rills, intelligence to nearly every home in the country. The county press ought to receive a cordial support. Every place should try to have itslpaper of such a character that people could be justly proud it. To this end let them pay promptly, and advertise liberally, recommend warmly, and in every wav stand bytbeireditor as long as they can conscientiously.

At the first ferm I attended at Yevay, I was employed by John H. O’Neal to defend him in an action of assault and battery >Ly Thomas Mount. My client was a stout young man, and Mount an old man of much inferior strength.—I was satisfied from the statement of my client that it was ffn aggravated case. The counsel for the plaintiff, John Dumont, Stephen C. Stevens and Amos Lane, my client told me, were to have half the damages as their fee. 1 knew and bad reason to fear their powers in such a case, with the stimulus of a "contingent/* especially if they bad the close of the argument bo* fore the jury. The case was called, and I filed the pica of "son assault ” alone, to which they replied “de injuria,” giving me the opening and closing of the argument. The cause was continued and at the next term referred to arbitration, and the term following an award was returned against my client for 81,000 damages; but the arbitrators bad neglected to bo sworn. The award was set aside on my motion at the next' term, and the cause immediately called for trial. "Ready,” said the plaintiff's counsel. ."Ready,” said I. A jury was immediately empanncllcd. 1 .commenced the case without a word to the jnry as to myjexpectcd .proof. "Sheriff, call Williora .O’Neal. 1 * The witness waa sworn npd took the stand. "William, will you 'state to the Court and jury what you know of au assault and battery committed by Thomps Mount on yourbrother John H. O'Neal, in Dearborn county, about three years ago?" "Stop, noi a word,” said Mr. Lauc, rising ami addressing the Court. ’“We object to any evidence of any other assault and battery than the oue laid iu the declaration, in Switzerland county, and especially of any one that took place more than two years before this suit was commenced.” Judge Eggleston—evidently without Lis usual reflection—"The.witoess will confine himself to the case in Switzerland county. "I except." The witness knew nothing (of the actual case before the jury, and retired. The plaintiffs then proved a most aggravated case/ and the jury retired under the charge of the Court. Judge Eggleston sat silent upon the bench, with bis head resting upon his hands, for a few minntGs, then raising his head: "Mr. Sheriff, bring that jury into Court.” "Gentlemen of. the jury, the Court erred in rejecting th£ offered evidence of the assault and battery in Dearborn county. This is a local action. The statute of limitations is only a bar in a civil action where it is pleaded; there is bnt one count in the declaration, charging bnt one assault and battery, and that the defendant has justified by bis plea; there is no new assignment or replication of aggravation; the proof offered should have been admitted, and nuder the circumstances, although somewhat irregular, although tne fault was with the Court, we will bear the evidence now.** The proof of.the assault in Dear* born, on.my client by the plaintiff, was positive; and the jury, under the charge of the Court, returned, a verdict for the defendant. In the meantime the statnte limitations had run against the Switzerland case, and no' other suit was afterwards brought. It is due to the distinguished counsel to say that they bad no idea or intimation that there had ever been any difficulty between the parties, except the one for which the suit was brought.—The fact was our only defence, and was kept a secret from the plaintiffs attorneys, or they would, of course, have defeated the defense,

[From the India napolli Journal. Early Indiana Trials. i BEMIKIS CEKOEQ BY lION. O. H. ElIlTU. A SHILL VICTORY DEARLY riiRCBABED, Boon after I commenced my circuit duties, in 1824,1 arrived At Lawrcnceburgli,and stopped at tins hotel of John Grny. Tht Circuit Court was to be held next day. After popper a well-dressed, good-looking man called upon me io give mo a liltlu appeal case against John Ackerman, u farmer liw'ng in the nprthean part of the county. Be told bis story; the case was in a nut shell; Ackerman had bought groceries of him in to the amount of eight dollars, and given .his note for the amount; had frequently promised to pay tho note, lint having as often failed, the suit bad been brought before a Justice of the peace against Ackerman to recover tho eight dollars and a few cents costs.—Actcrraan appeared, by bis lawyer, and filed a pica of “non assumpsit*' upon oath, and there being no evidence to a sustain the case, judgment was entered for the defendant, of co|m>e; Some three months afterwards the plaintiff heard of it and appealed the casc/and had with him all the witnesses to prove it in Court.' The next day the case was called, and Messrs, Lane and St. Oiair moved to dismiss; the appeal, because it was not filed in time. Out. statute! then required nppcali to bo filed within thirty days of the date of the judgment to give,jurisdiction to tho Circuit Court. Judge Eggleston remarked that he bad . no diserction, the appeal must be dismissed, but considering the small amount involved, apd the ha} tore of the defense, ho would suggest that it would be better to let a judgment go; 1 then proposed to defendant's counsel that if they would let me take judgment for the eight dollars and costs, the case should there end. After a moment’s consultation with’their client my proposition was rejected, and the appeal was dismiss? ed by the Court, at the Costs of my client, andAckermai{1eft.thoOourt roomlaughV ing over his triumph. • But the.’ end was not yet. Tho grand jo’ry was in session; 1 prepared' ah" Indictment for poijury against Ackerman for bis oath in swearing to the plea before, the Justice. Tho evidence waa clear and conclusive. The bill was found and returned before dinner. I quietly took out a bench warrant and before Ackerman had left town he was arrested by John Spencer, tbe Sheriff, and bronghtinlo Court. His counsel, Messrs. Lane and St Clair, immediately offered bail for bis appearance from day to day -—during the term the recognizance was entered, and the counsel commenced: “Ready for trial.*’ “So ii tbe State; let a jury come.”~-The Sheriff pot a jury in the box. Walter Armstrong, was foreman. Court adjourned till morning. The trial came on early. The evidence was beard. I opened lhe case briefly; Mr. Lane followed with a powerful spcecb, but the evidence had "prejudiced’* the jury against his client, and I had nothing to do but to snm up and read the Statute punishing the offence. Tbe Court charged—the jury returned a verdict of guilty and two yean in the penitentiary. Ackerman was called to hear judgment, but failed to answer. Tbe recognizance was forfeited, a capias ordered returnable to the next term. In vacation Ackerman was arrested, a motion in arrest was overruled by the Court, and Ackerman sentenced to the penitentiary at hard labor for two years. His farm was sold upon the forfeited recognizance, and his personal effects to pay bis lawyers. 1 sketch this case for its moral, os showing that honesty is tbe best policy at last.

A FAMILY DIFFICULTY, AMD BOW IT WAS

SETTLED.

After I went to Connersvilla, I purchased a farm below town; and built the homo the present residence of my friend Samuel P, Parker,; The builder was laying the foundation one morning when my next neighbor, Capt. Larkin Sims, who owned the farms immediately adjoining mine, came to where 1 was standing. "Good morning Mr. Smith; yon are building a now house. It is said that lawyers* booses, are .built on fools' beids, bnt yon will dever get my bead under this foundation.” "X hope not, Captain,” and he passed on. Rome weeks after the captain came to my office, and reminded me of what he had sa'd, bnt, says he, *T have come to fee you—myself and wife cannot live together any longer.” "Why Captain, what does this mean, you have got one of the best wives I know among all my neighbors. I will call down this evening and see you both“there certainly cannot be anything irreconcilable between-yon.” The Captain left without a word of reply, and that evening I walked down to his house. I was met at the* door by the Captain and taken into bis parlor. Sally, his wife, soon came in, and seemed glad-to see me. Each party related their disagreements, with the cause,'not forgetting the most minute particulars.. The principal cause of difficulty, at least on the surface, was, that one morning Sally requested one of her sons to take np the ashes from the "fire-place. The Captain sent him off to plough, and Sally took up the ashes herself. I decided that the Captain was in the wrong. He smiled and said nothing, but Sally, perhaps too warmly, applauded my judgment. 1 then began to snspect that there was more at the bottom than the ashes. Some days after, the Captain called and required mo to file a bill for divorce, on the ground that tbeir

A D BEACH OP PRO Ml BE CASE.

Soon after the county of Union was or* ganizcd, I waa employed by a little, hump* backed fellow, some twenty-five years of age, certainly one of the most perfect li* bels on creation that I bad seen, to defend him against an action for breach of mar* riage contract. 1 confess 1 felt sbmp curiosity to see the woman that would con* Bent to marry him, much less sue him for refusing to say "yes” to the question of the squire. Court arrived; the usual de claration, laying special damages for divers, to*wit, one hundred suppers, and calico dresses too,numerous to mention, all preparatory for the wedding, was filed. It was a pore breach of promise case, without the common aggravation. Plea "non assumpsit;’* James Perry and James Rar* idea for plaintiff, and myself alone for defendant. My client whispered "there sbo comes," I turned my eyes and sure enough there she was, a most beautiful girl, large, rather fleshy, raven hair, dark eyes, rosy cheeks, a mouth filled with beautiful white teeth. She walked gracefully forward and took a seat by the side of her counsel. A jury was empanelled; Judge Perry opened, with an eloquent address to the jury, and closed by asking the full amount of 85,000 claimed in the dedatMiutt. The witnesses. eketly proved the marriage contract, which in fact ray client did not deny; one white mnslin and two red calico dresses were positively proved, worth three dollars, and there was some evidence, but not satisfactory, of a gingham dress with broad stripes. About the supper there was no question; it was proved beyond controversy, or the powers of argument, or in the language of : Gen. Cushing it was "a fixed fact." Great preparations had been made; six

difficulties were irreconcilable, and they could no longer live together. They had ten grown children, several of them married, with families. The bill was filed, the divorce granted, the property and children equitably divided, and Sally moved to the bouse, aud part of the farm assigned her. The Captain kept the house steady, and soon after married a young woman in Bnsb county, and brought her home, bnt the end was not yet, The Captain was soon laid low, as all believed, upon a bed of death, his young wife refused to none him, and took her household goods and loft. Sally beatd of his condition, went to hia house, nursed him by day and by night, watched over, comforted and encouraged, as in their former days. The Captain was finally restored; to health, obtained amivorco from h;a young wife, and a few weeks afterwards, the'seconS marriage was solemnized between those, who should never have been separated. They sold their possessions, and removed to Missouri; the Captain soon after was taken sick, and died, and his faithful wife, alter nursing him through bis last sickness, closed bis eyes, and followed hia remains to his last earthly resting place.
