Deputing a Judge.

Any anecdote of General Jackson is always received with favor by the public, and therefore we copy the following from the Spirit of the Times, relating to the General when he was a Judge': I was on the Mississippi last sumer, when I heard the following story: The General, then Judge Jackson, was holding court at a shanty at a little village in Tennessee, and dispensing justice in large and small doses as seemed to him to be re-: quired in the cases before him. One day,; during court, a great bulky looking fellow, armed with a pistol and bowie-knife, took it upon himself to parade before the shanty court house, and cursed the judge, jury and all that were there assemble ’, in its turn. “Sheriff, arrest that man for contempt of; court and confine him,” sang out the Judge.; Out went the sheriff, but soon returned with the word to the Judge that he found it impossible to take the offender. “Summon a posse, then, and bring him be-: fore me,” said the Judge. The Sheriff put out again, but the task i was too difficult; he could not, nor dared not lay his hands on the man, nor did any of the posse like the job any better than he did, as the fellow threatened to— • “Shoot the first skunk that came within "ten foot of him.” At this the Judge waxed wroth—to have his authority put at defiance before all the good people of that vicinity, so he loudly sang out—- “ Mr. Sheriff, since you can not obey my j orders, summon me—yes, .sir, summon me.” “You, Judge?” exclaimed the Sheriff in amazement. “Yes, me—summon me! I’ll see what J can do.” “Well, Judge, if you say so, though I do! not like to do it; but if you will try, I sup-j pose I must summon you. “Very well,” said Jackson, rising and walking toward the door. “I adjourn this ! Court ten minutes.” The ruffian was standing a short distance from the shanty, in the center of a crowd of people, blaspheming at a terrible rate, flourishing his weapons, and vowing death and destruction to all who' should attempt to molest him. Judge Jackson walked very calmly into the center of the group, pistol in hand, and confronted him. “Now,” said he, looking him straight in j the eye, “surrender, you infernal villain, this | very instant, or I’ll blow you through.” ■ The man eyed the speaker for a moment’ ■ without speaking, and then put up his weapons, with these words—- “ There, Judge, it’s no use; I give in.” He then suffered himself to be led by the the Sheriff without opposition; he was com- 1 pletely cowed. A few days after the occurence, when the: man was asked why he knocked under to one ■ person, when he before refused to allow him- 1 self to be taken by the whole company, he replied—“Why,| when he came up I looked him ini the eye, and I saw shoot, and there wasn’t shoot in nary other eye in the crowd; and so I says to myself, says I, ‘it’s about time to , sing small,’ and so I did.” OfT-A boy was asked what meekness was’ He thought a moment, and then said: “Meekness gives smooth answers to rough questions.” 00” A husband can readily foot the bill of j a wife, who is not ashamed to be seen footing his stockings.

GARRISON & CAHILL, 23-ts Proprietors. FORSHEE’S ADJUSTABLE CULTIVATOR. THE undersigned have purchased from the inventor of the above-named Cultivator, the right to the following counties: Fulton, Jasper, Cass, Miami, White and Pulaski, which they will dispose of on reasonable terms, by the township or county, as purchasers may desire. The superiority of this over all other Adjustable Cultivators consists: Ist. In its lightness, cheapness of construction, and strength combined with durability. The points, when one end is worn out, may be reversed, placing the top downwards, thus immediately supplying and saving the cost of an entire new set of teeth. 2d. This Cultivator may be used with either three or five teeth in the same machine, and to cut any width of strip desired. 3d. The teeth may be arranged at such angle as to throw the dirt either right or left, to or from the cam. A specimen of this machine may be seen at the shop of Wm. H. Huber, in Rensselaer. WM. H.

This Rod is in general use in Central Indiana, and many other localities throughout the country. It always succeeds wherever it is introduced. It is no humbug. No man who examines its merits will ever buy any other Rod. The old iron rods give way before it as ignorance flies before the advance of light.— According to Prof. Faraday, and other men of note, copper has a conducting power 5 to 8 times greater than iron; and, in addition to this important fact. Munson’s Rod has a surface inside and out, nearly three times as great as the old iron rod. Munson’s Rod is an ornament on the best buildings, and does not rust, but will endure an age without losing its conducting power. This Rod has received the First Premiums nt the American Institute of Now York; the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia; the National Fair at Louisville, Ky.; the State Fairs of Ohio, lown, Indiana, Connecticut, and wherever exhibited.
