Weduesd:ly.', Sept. llth. 1859 LAWYERS AND THEIR S PEEC IT . A story ie told of a troll -known lawyer addressing a jury respecting a chitnuey being ou fire, and in the course of his address exclanm`tug " "Gentlemen, the. chimney touk`fl,tp, it poured forth voluulcse of $tank°. Volumes did I say 1—whsle, cncy- clopedies1" Witty arid; htlulorous remarks frequently I8 atuon g the legal fraternity outs'id'e' the law courts.... Lord El(onbpruugh was dining one day at. au assize dinner, when some one•;ofered to, help 'him' to some fowl i; No, thank you,"' said his loldshfp,,"i mean to `try that beef.

"I took .;'tits t iiver," he eXelailn ,d "because I"could not ge ,gold ; I took every farthing the fellow had in the world, and I hope..you don't call that disgracing the pro- feesiou." One night as Erskine was coming out of the house of commons he was stopped by a mem- ber going in and asked : "Who's up, Eyck m01" "Windham," was the reply. "What's he 001" was the next question. "His legs," said the witty advocate ; a reply which would scarcely satiafy the • desire fur political information. SITE WAS TIRED OF GETTING INTO PIUNT, "isir. Smithers," said his wife, "if I remember rightly, you Lave often said that y'ou disliked to see a woman constantly getting herself into print." "I du," said Smithers, positive, ly. "You considered it unwomanly and indelicate, I believe." • "Anil you don't see how any man could allow his wife to do any• thing of rho kind." "Yes, I think so now." "Well, Mr. Smithers, in view of all the facts in the case, I feel justi- • fied in asking you for a new silk 'dress." "A new silk dress?" "Yes; for the last eight years I. have had nothing better than eight, cent calico, and I want something • else. I'm Aired of getting inti prinf.r, HISTORICAL PUNS. Such puns have more than once played formidable part in history: France expiated by the devastation of an c niire province a coarse and clumsy play upon "corpse" and "cotp ii• •flee" clad by the French i' is g iu derision of his terrible neighbor William the Conqueror. Charles V. 's jesting assertion that ho could put Paris in his glove (pant), though meant, only to indi- cate the superior size of Ghent to tho Paris of that day, stung Francis I. into the renewal of a languishing war. Ono of Lonis XV.'s upstart favorites was driven from the court by the biting pun that >;urned his new title of Marquis de Vandiere into "Marquis d'Avant-hien" (the day before yesterday). Tho epigrammatic brevity of Sir Francis Drake's celebrated but probably mythical dispatch an- nouncing the rout of the Armada— which consisted of the single word "Cautharides," e., the Spanish fly. —has been twice paralleled in our own ago. Sir Charles Napier and Lord Dalhousie respectively an• nouncod the annexation of Scinde and that of Oudo in one word apiece "'Poccavi"' I have sinned (Scinde), and "Vuvi," I have vowed (Oude). Equally historical is the bitter pun that changed tho name of the slug- ;;ish Admiral Torrington to "Ad• milt.' Tarry in -town." Napoleo,n who was no man for light jesting; is credited with only a single pun, and that a rather poor During the great Italian cam- paign of 1766-7 he replied to a lady, who wondered to find such a famous man so young. "I am young to -day, but tomorrow Ishall have Milan" (1. e. mille ane," a •thousand years.) A tnuch better juke was that •made on the great conqueror himself by an 'Italian countess, who, hearing him say, "All Italians°are traitors„' replied pointedly, "Not all of them, hut a good part (Buo-na•parte). Equally neat, and even more grim- ly,significant, Was Bismarck'sanswor to n person who was speculating how much the impending war of 1879 would cost France.

R. S. \\'AITE, Springfield. Ont. —Shortly after eight o'clock one evening Allred Jones, a brakeman on an auxiliary train, while passing between the auxiliary car and van, fell between the cars and was com- pletely cut in two. Death was in- stantaneous. Jones was an un- married man about thirty ,years of age. His mother lives near Belle- ville. —Mr. Willutm Ashbury, who was probably Loudon's oldest resi- dent, dropped dead Tuesday on the Market Square; where he 'had goue gone for a stroll with his two pet dogs.., Mr. Ashbury was bora in Tipperary, Ireland. and, with his mother, 'brothers and sisters, came to Canada when quite young. He settled in London in 1832. He followed the trade of blacksulithing, and in early years had been seen setting tires in the middle of the street that is now LOndou's busiest thoroughfare. Ito acquired a for- tune supposed to . be^ iu the neigh- borhood of $150,000. In the Vic- toria disaster, May 27, 1881, Mr. Ashbury saved the life of a boy who clung to hintin the water, but at the same time he lost his wife. IIe leaves no children, and the most of his wealth will go to his nephews and nieces. • IT CAN DO NO IIARM to try Freelnar.'s Worm Powders if your child is ailing, feverish or fretful. —David Weir, James Eden and John Eden were brought to the Elgin jail Saturday night, having been committed by Squire Glover, of Aylmer, on a charge of arson. At the examination John Sprague and his wife testified that the' three parties accused, along with several others wham they failed to recog- nize, called at the shanty occupied by the couple in South Dorchester at one o'clock in the morning and pelted it wall stones. Failing to force the door open they cleaned out the chinks in the shanty and threw stones through the:apertures. They then climbed to the roof, tore oft a portion and threw live coals down on the bed on which the couple had been sleeping. Tho house caught fire and the family, consisting of Sp ague, his wife and three or' for c tildren, barely escaped with their lives, fleeing in their night clothes from the build- ing, which was totally destroyed with its dontonts. Tho only reason alleged by the gang for their devil- try was that Sprague married a squaw.

From some town's where a few weeks ago large yields were ex- pected, not a quarter of a crop will be haryested.
