Hale.— The' elder Judge Burnside presided in one of the Courts pf Pennsylvania when the memorable ease of Parsons va. Parsons was on trial. James Petrikeu, Esq., was one of the counsel; assisted by James T. Hale, Esq. Hale Was speaking, and having made a strong point, Which the Court challenged, ho said that he could sustain it by citation of cases from the iqooks, but he had Lett them at bis office close by. “ Why did yon not bring your books here ?” asked the Judge. | “Because I considered the point so plain as not to: need the support of other coses; but I .will step over and get the books.” : As Mr. Hale left the house the Judge, in a pet, said : “ That man reminds me of a carpen ter Tho came to work for me, and left all his tools ,ot home. The Court more law than that young man knows.” ;; “That,” said Mr. Petri ken, “Jp just what we complain of—that your Honor Acs forgotten too much /” - { The case of Parsons vs. Parsons was brought by one brother ogainst another, for the purpose df breaking their father’s will, which cut off Abraham, the elder brother, without a cent, giving all the property to Samuel, the young er. ' This Samuel was a stout, broad-shouldered Pennsylvania farmer, well-dressed and portly, showing himself to be somebody ; while Abra ham was a lank, lean, ill-favored man, with thin and thread-bare clothes in bad weather.— Mr. Pctriken, counsel for poor Abraham, as ;ked a witness, “ what is the relative wealth of the two brothers ?” | The opposing lawyer jumped up and objected to the question'. “It was of no consequence who was richer or who was poorer; it was a question of low.” ■ Petriken saw that the question would not be allowed, and calling out to his client, said “ Abraham, stand up by the side of Samuel.” Abraham planted his thin figure, in shabby Cloths,; by the side of the corpulent, well dressed brother, and Petriken cried out to the jury. Now compare the parties. 1 ’ The effect was in stantaneous and complete, and far better for Abraham than any evidence of witnesses as to the aniount of his property. The jury gave him a verdict; and, law or no law, ha got half of bis father’s property.— Harper’s Magazine. ' Attempted Murder and Suicide. —The Har risburg Patriot of Tuesday has the following; V Middletown was the scen£ of a most distres sing tragedy yesterday afternoon. Dr. Barr, Coroner, received a dispatch to come down Speedily, and obeyed the summons. The cir cumstances of the tragedy are these: A man I Darned Annanias Nichols, who has been in the employ of Edward Fisher for a number of years, was in the stable when Mr. Fisher went there to call him to dinner. As Mr. F. turned to go towards the house, Nichols started after him with a large stick, which he had been using in mixing feed for the horses, striking Mr. Fisher several severe blows over the head, making hor rible gashes. Mr. F. retreated, followed by Nichols, who, however, did not at that time again attack him; but while be was in a stoop ing posture, washing the blood off his head, Nichols raised the club to deal another deadly blow. : Mrs. Fisher, who had been confined to her room for some lime by severe indisposition, was farmed by the children exclaiming, ••An •nanias. is killing Pup !” She rushed to the win dow and started to Mr. Fisher, when Nichols immediately dropped the club, and, rushing into : the kitchen, seized a batcher knife. He then ■■rim into Mr, Fisher’s woods, near the SwaUrn, where, he plunged the knife into his abdomen, and ran into the stream. From this he came jout, again inflicted wounds with the knife, and ■ again rushing into the stream, drowned himself. “ The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was, that the man Nichols had come to his death by the ■ means, above related, daring a temporary fit of iinsanity.” ■ Suggestion from a Ladt. — A lady corres pondeht advises on the subject of wear;ng Loops and lifting ,up dreises, says“ The hoops should, be near together, say two or three inches apart, and come to within as many inches of ■the feet or. the bottom of the dress. A word about the management of dress In the first place, in going up stairs yob need only lift the front Of your dress, and in descending, the back part ojf your skirts. The front part ofyonr dress ,ican by no effort be soiled in descending, neither can the back' part, by ascendinga pair of' stairs. Do, therefore, have a reform in this to my mind immodest habit you have heedlessly gotten into, of dragging your dress behind yon, ip going down stairs, and lifting it up in front instead.

Near Peoria, Hl.,a man was fixing an old ' cistern, and it seems there was a piece of plank With outs end ptrtiiUy imbedded in the earth, that somewhat incommoded him, so seising it, with some exertion, he pulled it oUtand threw it to the top. What was his hororand surprise at toe next moment, to find ■ that J»e hnd un earthed an enormous raUlesn*ke,»hd himself without a weapon in his hand. '\ As the; cister was round, and baljr about B** feet in diameter, be could not'jump out* and the make, bristling "with anger, and rattling de fiance, was ready for buttle. His screams brought his wife to the scene, but she was so overcome with (right that she became powerless to render any assistance. The snake in the meantime, had commenced the fight, making re peated springs at him, bat fortunately he man aged, on each occasion, to hit him upon the head with his boot, without receiving a bite, the snake all the time becoming more defiant and enraged- During the whole scene, which lasted several minutes, toe man did not lose bis pre- I sence of mind, but, watching hie chance, made several frantic efforts to jump bodily from this seemingty pit of destruction. At the last trial, he fortunately grasped a brick, which gave way with him, and remained in his band, as he again stood fronting his enemy After a few more kicks, and'watching his op portunity, lie fired it, making probably one of the best shots on record, for it struck the snake on the head, and between the oufe sent and the wall, he became a “ pretty well used up esrpint ” Weak and exhausted, our hero, by the assis tance of his wife, was enabled to clime from the pit, bat when once more upon the earth he fainted away, and it was some time before he recovered. For several succeeding days he was quite unwell, owing, probably, to the poisonous | effluvia inhaled, while bis desperate exercise in i the encounter rendered him exceedingly lame. ; The snake was afterwards taken from the cis | tern, when it was found to measure seven feet in length, and contained thirteen rattles! The | latter have been preserved, and are placed in | ShoafTs Museum for exhibition. Hard Times Out West.—The Eddyvillc (Iowa) Commercial says; It is useless to deny or attempt to conceal the fact This region of (he country is destitute of the necessaries of life. The stock of food for man and beast is about exhausted. There is perhaps, corn enough to feed those who are- un able to buy flour; but they have not the means to buy corn. It is in the bands of a few per sons, and they will only sell for cash at a dollar a bushel: Not one third of those who need to buy corn have the dollar, or any means of get ting it; for the money like the com, is out of the reach of the destitute. Wo are no panic maker, of this we feel certain and speak advisi bly, that in thirty days from this time, unless those who have a surplus agree to part , with it, on time, at a fair price, it will be distributed and carried away by bands of desperate men, to feed their star ving families. This sounds terribly ; but it is too near the truth, and men will not suffer families to starve, when food can be procured by going and taking it. If the speculators who are hoarding up bread stuffs here, in the hope of obtaining exorbitant prices for them, owing to the European war, would but send a few thousand barrels of flour to these starving people, they (the speculators) would feel muck better after it, than if they bad “realized and put all their money in-a bank. Try it, just for once. A Jumping Match fob Five Hundred Dol lars. —A great jumping match came off at Avon, New York on Thursday of last week for §5OO The Livingstoh Republican gives an account of it as follows: About two months ago the mutch was made, the jumping to be done at Avon, and 40 feet the distance. This did not come off, but soon after, the match first above noticed was made. The mqu produced for jumping at both places is a youg man of about 22 years of age, by the name of Robert Way, and who is undoubtedly the greatest jumper of this or any other country. This wager was $260 a side, on thirty-seven feet at three standing jumps an perfectly lever ground, which he did with and it was the opinion of all present that he could have cleared two or jhree feet more bad he desired. Way jumps with great apparent ease, and strikes his marks with utmost precis ion, seeming to make at every jump whatever distance be names. In addition to the above be cleared twenty-seven feet and one inch at two standing jumps—and at one single jump made sixteen feet. This we believe, is the tallest jumping on record Thirty-three and thirty four feet .is' the most ever accomplished, and has ever been considered as the most that could be done on level ground, and standing. A Negro Acting as Pastor fob White People.— On Lynn Creek, Giles county, Ten nessee, there is a Hardshell Baptist Church, supposed by a number of wealthy communi cants, who for several years past have had for their regular pastor a negro named George known as *• Bentley\old Gefige ” and belong ing to one Matthew Bentley. George is said to bo a most excellent man, and a good preach er. Sometime ago, he Lad a note 1 public dis cussion lasting four days, with a white preacher, on the subject of Baptism, from wbich the white man is*said to have come off "second best.” The Church wants to buy George, but he is un willing to be sold out of his master’s family, and is withal a regular Southern, Pro Slavery parson. George is the “preacher in charge” of a large congregation, nearly all of whom are Slaveholders and who pay him a salary of SGOO or $7O J for his pastoral service. ' Another Tornado. — A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, May 27th, from Jack sonville, Morgan county, Illinois, states that yesterday, a most t violent and destructive torna do swept over the country, about half u mile south of the city, desolating everything that lay in its path. Sixteen persons were killed, while a largo number were severely wounded, a portion of whom cannot recover. Many houses and other buildings were torn into atoms by the fury of the whirlwind, others were overturned, and still more aud otherwise shattered by the blast' The cuttle in fields were killedJn great num bers; ( and crops destroyed.
