the Prussian army to the aid of.Wellington at Watciloo; a true Damascus blade | in its brilliant, scabbard, reaching to the■ feet; boots of the swatan order, reachingop to his-seat, with a pair of gold plated' spurs with shanks a foot long. The great; military parade, which was.to rerive the spirit of the revolution, was soon to come, off, near the cast fork of White Water, j under the command of Major Lewis in' person. Captains were required to be' early in the field, with thci.r-rcspective commands, "armed and equipped as the: law; directs.". The great and memorable Jay at last attired; The paraefo ground j was early filled with waving pinnies and crowds' of anxious citizens.' The AU1t| de-Camp of the Major came galloping into the field i|i full uniform, directly from J the headquarters of tbo llsjor, and halted at the marquee of the Adjutant. In a; few minutes the order from the major was | given, in a loud military voice,, by the Adjutant mounted onTs splendid gray churgor: "Officers to your places, mar? shat your men into companies, separating the barefooted from those who have shoes, | or moccasins, placing the gnus, sticks and cornstalks in separate platoons, and then form the line ready to receive the Major.’* The order was promptly obeyed, in true military style, when at a distance 5J*j or Lewis was seen coming into the field, with bis aids by 'his side, bis horse rearing and plunging, very unlike old "Whitey” at the battle of Buena Vista. ffbo brilliant uniform of the Major and his high waving.pinnae pointed him ont as distinctly as the military bearing of my friend - James Blake, whenmarshal of the day in after year?, marked him to_ the eye of thousands, who were looking for Gen. Wm. 0, Bbtler. .The line was formed; the Major took position on a rising ground, about a hundredyards In' front of, the' battalion; rising in his stirrnps, and tarning bis face full upon: the lino/'Attention the whole.” Uqfor-! Innately the Major had not tried bis voied before m the open air, and with'the word "Attention" his voicq broke, and "the whole” sounded like the shrill whistle of a shrill fife. The moment the sound reached the lino, some one with a voice as shrill as the Major's, cried out. “Children, come out of the swamp, you'll got shake bit.” The Major pushed down the line 1 at full speed. "Who dares insult me.” No answer. The cry then commenced all along. theiine, “You’ll get snake bit, you’ll get f snake hit." The Major turned and-dashed up the line, but soon had, senso enough to see that it w&s the militia system that was nt an end, and it .was not-Major Lewis that was'lhe main object of ridicule. - He dashed his chapeau from him, drew his sword and threw it upon the ground, tore his commission to pieces, and resigned his office on The batlallion dispersed, and militia musters were at an end from that time forward in the White Water country. ‘

Breach of Promise Case,

Children In Heaven,

Quite an interest has recently existed ■in Southern Indiana, on account of an al-, ledgcd breach of marriage prom iso, charged against Rev. T. B. Gary, of Liberty Circuit, by a respectable young lady of Madisou. According 16 the Indiana American, the circumstances of the cose were about as follows:; —Mr. Gary was entertained, during tbe late session of Conference by the family of which this young lady is a part. As an acknowledgment of the kindness* shown him during bis sojourn, he sent her the Ladies Repository, for the current' year. On its receipt she wrote a letter, enclosing a ■ book mark, which letter was • answered with (hanks for (he token, and there he thought the correspondence ended. Not bo with the young lady. She alledges that she received some fourteen fetters from all of which she answered in due tiibe, in which, on bis part, proposals,of matrimony were made which were 'scrolled by her, and the time of the marriage fixed at about thu roiddlo of April. A few .days before the lime fixed, rite alledges that she .received:a-letter’ purporl[ing to Have been written at Liberty, .by a sister of Mr, Gary, saying thdt he was | dangerously ill; and in a few days more, she received another from (ho namo hand,' j informing her that he 1 was dead, enclosing a lock of hair and giving his dying words, Ac. She soon ascertained that be was not dead, pnd her friends,-believing (bat ho ' bad been playing false,/had charges preferred against him before the Presiding Elder, Upon an investigation only six tetters were produced, and these were proved to he forgeries/ Of course Mr. Gary was acquitted.' - It is -believed that the young lady'is innocent dfany complicity in the forgery.— -Mew jilbany Tribune; . v : ‘

.EARLY PBAC71CB—SPECIAL PLEADING,

Quite early in the.histpry of the Courts in the third circuit,.the science of special ’pleading, as taught fay the first edition of Ohitly,’ . and Sounder's Reports, was made (be daily study oftbohar. Daniel J. Caswell, and bis partner, William 0. Drew, L wera al tbe bead of the special pleaders, and Aon became a tenor to all plaintiffs and their attorneys. It was said that on one occasion they pasted a general demurrer on the back of .the docket at Versailles, and got five dollars from each . defendant for continuing yach cause, With leave to tho plaintiff; to amend by the next. term. Such ’ was the 'alarm, when ,ihey were employed, that old John Allfen, • of 'Franklin county, called up Judge John Test, his lawyer/about midnight' one stormynight, tbok him j around the comer of the house, and lyfaispcred in his ear—"John, beware of them demurrers! I heard Casswell talking about my case.” 1 Ono of lhese demurrers, was atgued a whole day by Charles Dewey and' Harbbn H. Mootef, two distinguished lawyers, before the associate Judges’of Clark county; -Mr. Moore closed the. argument in a powerful speech. . One of . the Asso-ciate-Judges, who .had just waked up—"Mr. Moore, do l undereland that a demurrer means a dispute?''. Moore, with great indignation and contempt—“Yes, your honor.” "Then the opinion of the Court ta that the demurrer go,” Moore —"Which yray shall it go?” *'Mr. Moore, I will let yon know that you are not to ram your rascality down the jays of justice intbia Court; Uke your seat.” This was conclusive, and -the entry was "that the demurrer go.” ' ' ' ■

To the credit or the young lawyers iti those days, they almost committed to memory the few books we bad, not for* getting the constitution of the State.— Among the most industrious and learned was.my young friend Cyrus Pinch, of Centerville, who died young.V, ; We had a little pass before the associate Judges .of Wayne county, that the profession will appreciate at this day. - .The case was an assumpsit. I was for the defendant; and Mr. Finch for plaintiffs. Ho proved that my client had promised by'parol to pay adebtanother person owed bis client. The evidence closed; I thought I .‘'had" jum, and took up the slatn|e and read to the associate Judges fromthochapter on frauds and perjuries—“No action shall he brought to charge any person upon any promise to answer for tne.dcbl, default or miscarriage of another,'unless the promise U in writing, signed by the party * to tip charged.**This I supposed-settled the 'case, but not so. Mr. Pinch—"Hand me that book.. If . the Court please, that law is yoid under the constitution of the Unf ted States; it reads, ‘No State shallpass toy. law impairing the obligation of contracts,*” Xsawl was gone,.
