had sent the Murphys a regular challenge
to fight it out at the Patron, -which, be.

ties were mustering all their friends and
well wishers. and preparing for the great
day. On theeve of the Patron, Ned

her good night and parted, with a pro-

„ The . Paeroui day arrived, coal and
cloudy, an the whole country side was
astir, as it was known far and near of
-the great battle that was to be fought. -
Each side of the road leading to the Bal-
tylangly -hill was lined with tents, and.
it seemed ahnoet al if all the pipers and
fiddlers fn the coenty were present.
.Early in e c ay min titudes came throng-
ing from all directions, and-frem the hap-
py appearance of everything, no person
not before informed of it, wouid suspect
thateuch dreadful work was sesame to take
place. Vt ithin the tent, deriding, sing-
ing and carensing ; whilst outside, the
usual games were going on, and all ap-
parently in garid hunioa Old women
grinning for tobacco ; old men running
in the tack ; some hunting' the greased
,pig ; others climbing the greaeed . pole
jumping; wrestling and thritwing th
stone ---all continued till near thre
o'clock Suddenly, a man withput coat
vest, or shirt, with, a handkerchief tied
around his heat, jumped ieto the beau-
tifiil plain below the hill and twirling a
huge blackthorn ceiecl out " Hurre, fo
the 3'N eels ! Down with the Murphys

Imniediately - Jack Hainan; likewis
prepared, jumped. into the field, cryin
out, " Hurra for the MurphS7e ! The

He had no time to sayi niore when

they got together next morning they b
gen to plan whether by .inventing a goo
story they could not take the law of Ne
Murphy and hive to Much satiefactio
and this plan they at once carried out.
Mr. McHenry had scarcely. entered h
of1;ce Mut day after the deride, when th
door was opened. and Toni O'Neal an
five others very anceremoniously wal
ed in. Most of them, and particularl
O'Neal, bore the marks of' the la
night's work. ' Mr. Mc I 1 entry looked
them in surmise, and asked, - -
" Flow:dare you fellows conae into
gentleman's hem in such a way ?''
O'Neal, with kr6A warmth, answerer
"We're come for a 'warrant again th
spalpeen Ned Murphy. Your Hone

last night." . -
Mr. McHenry-" You look as if yo
had got some rough handling, but
cannot see hi:ivy Edward Murphy coub

to be a decent, quiet young man, and I
shall not grant a warrant for hirn without
further information."
O'Nesel—" CV o are ready to give your
Honor all the informatron you want, and
to swear to it too."

Ir. Mr. Mcfienry-" Then take. the
exe Book," and aftet -swearing, let me hear

O'Neai having sworn to tell the truth,
ev- the whale teeth. etc., commenced :

k And all the others boie witness to the
ee truth of his statement, which the =gig -
el trate perceiving was but orie-sided, said
ed "And h )w does it happen that most o

surely Was net able to beat you all, and
if' he was you ought to lbe ashamed of

ad others with him."
• " Ah," said the magistrate, "I find it
was a faction fight. I shall net send a
arrant for Murphy, but shall write to
him. to say that such heavy chatges are
laid against him, and to come here and
disproite them, whicir•I am sui•e; he will
be able to-do."
"So you won't give us thewarrant."
says O'Neal, impudently.
" No," said Mi. McHenry, " Murphy
will come without one."
"There here" says 'O'Neal, "you

But, without caring for hiewrath, the th

In the meantime all the pots in Jerry his

without stint, and so did the 'hat for the.

At length, having danoed,_dranke,and

A man, well muffiedi. up, entered the
gilageee holise late one night, and on bein
iestioned as to hitt . businees, said he had
me to give information about two stills
Me. ifs.rt-y would make it worth his
hile. The guager." much. pleated, ask -
1 him how he knew where the' still
were, and why he 1 ad come to give him
the information.
" You see, sir," aaid the man,- " I
ought to know altaboutthe stills, for
av-e worked An theme an' I have two
asons for comin' to you, one is -that
ck Hainan didn't do fair wirll me, but
Longed me out of my 'money, an' I
ant es have iny revegge on him, an' to

"But," said the guag,er, "how am I

I give you the money."
" Very easy, sir." said the fellow,
l'll meet you on the road any night you

agree upon, and. I'll keep in the middle
of your men till show you the still,
then I'll slip eff an' crime here for the
rest." ;
The guager thought for a while, and
en said that the plan seemed feasible,
d finally agreed to meet the man on
e following Tuesday night at thel foot
the mountain, to give hira fifty shil-
gs then, and as much more afteritak-

They Mimi peeved. the nian to prepare
friends to gi-ee the guager's party a
rne reception, and the guager to go to
the next town to -engage a party of horse
soldiers for the expedition. But when
he applied to the ca,ptatn, that officer
swore that he wowid not have his men
and horses *fatigued riding on a wilcl-
goose chase every night for his whims.,
The pager tried to reason with hinitInit
it Was useless, the captain said he would
take the responsibility of refusing, and
added, "If the poor devils are trying to
earn little money by making whiskey
they are hurting nobody."
When Jack Hainan heard what the
captain had said, " By my soul," says
he, " buthe's a -gentleman, and I'll send
him a keg of kood stuff for that seine,"
and he kept his word, for shortly after a
keg was quietly brought4o the captain's
