Under this'e9ption a droll 'Story' 'Of the 914
Puritan .times in :rFew •-- England, -•- by=Seba
Smith, is going the rounds of the press trem
_
G`alat`s to .atemotas. •It 'was 'written , . for
the New YOrk Illustrated Magazine,lial. is
thus condenbed. by an exchanke paper. John
Wadleigh, the bC't'o l was addicted to sleep
ing in 6 meeting,, an offence in Wage days
which broght the Unlcitc'yaleeper tinder tlte
notice of the justice. Deafeon Winstotr, who,
had been overreachedbOVidlei s ,gli - itithe
sale of a cow, watched him Vel'Y 'sharply for
a number of Sundays, but .'ivasut4ble to gdt
any 'positive evidence as to the matter: 2 -
Though John always appeitied to be ;Ado
at the close of the sermon, yet when theVon
gregation lose up to prayers-he always Iman
aged to be up with than,thongh-witha flush
ed face and guilty countenance. The Dea
con suggested to Parson Moody that on the
next Sabbath he should, at the close of the
sermon; sit down quietly for three or four
minutes, as if fatigued, and see whether- 1
Wadleigh would sleep on. The plan was
tried, but while& any very satifactory result.
John held his head down for . about half a
minute after the parson had finished Ms dis
course, and then started suddenly,zoie to his
feet, looked round confusedly for a moment
and sat ilowCagain..
The Grand Jury,fittailytmlicletilohwiVe
pass over the at4ount Mthe capture and 'the
opening of the Court ) by Deacon W,inslew,•
who-was . Justice, as well as Deacon, - and
quote some of the proceedings of the trial.—
In the first place, howeVer, Squire Chandler,
made a point that the prisoner should prove
his innocence. If he was not asleep, let him
prove his,cdtbi. "May it please - yolir honor,"
said Chandler, "1 take that grotind and Mere
I stick. I call upon to prove his alibi." The
justice decided against Esq. chandler, and

So many 'fine strawberries at one entertain

at Middli3burgythe greatest lover, of them
Might have feasted satisfacieitilum, and
made little' dibelnution 'their fragrant bulk.
The:compd4 in the finest possible spirits,
having re-eiribarked, Mr: Webster lignified
his ambition to kill , an alligator! An oppor

low basking in the: sun. With steady aim
Mr. iVebster , fir,ed, arid although he did not
succeed, from the smalldess 'of the. load in
killing him, yet we are confident, from the
splashing that fonowe'd, that he made upon
him, as he never fails to do upon 'everybody
else, a ery deep impression ! •
The (firmer hour having arrived, we set
down to one of 'Aid most delightful entertain

in the hope that it would be regarded-in a fa

to. mind that iii the recent battlp at Cero Gor.
