The stranger twas no more! The writer of the sketch says the above is no fiction, and the principal actor even non resides in New Orleans, a talented and csteemed member of the bar; and often relates the above sketch of his adventures to his friends, to show how dearly he paid fur the excess of one night at the rcstau runt. Sea my Hat off -The old phrase of 'saw my Ieg utI' bas been superseded in our diggins. For fear its origin should not be known to posterity, we will give it. Sine reeks ago, several young chaps, without letting their wamma know they were out,' went a chubbing down toNeuse River. To get at the fihl-beds better, they got into a canoe, am.d pushed oil into the middle of the stream. The current running pretty strong, they were carried down the stream at the rate of ten knots an hour. At this junction, one cries out, .you Abe, put in that pole and keep her right end foremost. if we don't get to Noo bon to-night I'll eat Sail's horn comb!' another somewhat frightened, whines out, - Mose what ye reccon Granny would say if she sec'd us now ? we will go right siang into the Atalantic Ocean! bah! bait! 0-o!' * Hush yer dang yelp! did'nt ye ever rcud Steamibout-fashion before, ve pulter-head pxsom! We will coteb a nuag by the time we reach New York. I reccou as lhow the chubs will bite there,' said Abe very composedly. 'You are right cousin Abe,' said Jonah, * for dad al. lers told us when wo did any thing, to go the whole hug, tail and bristies, and I think we ire -comic' the doings to a Picerty.' Round and round swung the old canoe, ever and anon, and then she would shoot down the stream like a race horse. Presently she run up high and dry on a rock, and tine end swung near the limb of a tree, and Abe's hat having a hole in the tol, he was caught by his hair in the bran ches. When he roars out, 'boys if you want me to 9 -he Atalautic Ocean.. saw ay hat of ?Jabe, sib. 91Lr ?

Tetotalism Foremer.-A jolly old friend ofours, relates the following good story, which certainly coitains au cirellent moral. Sonic years ago two individuals risiding in Jcfer.ou county, btarted to Augusta with a load of fowls. They stopped at the first grocery on the road and supplied themselves with n half gallon of whiskey. It was not long before they were overtaken by a traveller, riding a very poor horse. Tto men of the chickens had already be. gan to feel rich, and their philanthropic feclitgs to ex pand. Tht- trauger was ask ed to take a *horn,' to which he readily agreed. The party travelled on together for sometime drinkig and conversing. It was finally proposed and agreed to, that the stranger hitch his horse to the hind part of the cart and ride with the chicken men. The atiamal was according tied by the neck with a rope, anal fastened to the chicken wagon. They had not proceeded more th.tn a milae in this way, before they discovered thteir cart borsc pulling very hard. Thec whip was applied, however, nd lie kept amaving until they camne to a retty steep bhll, when the horse stopped. rle party went round to push at the weelia, when it was discovered that the traveller's horse 'a as as dead azs a hammer. and htad been dragged by the neck several hundred yards, a'e being chooked to detht, They soon proceed on their way not fm getting to touch the overjoyful oceasionally. They camtped tnear a creek swamp hor the night. Next morning the cart laorse was missing. It was arranged that the two chicken men should go itn search of the horse while the ,tranger remained to take care of the earl and chickens Shortly af ter the traveller had been left alotie, he toucked the jug so ofien thiat ha camte to the conclusion that the chickeos must be very muach itt want of water; and finally turned theta out to -drive them to the creek. The chickens were no sooner at liberty than they began to fly it) all directions, cackling nt crowing with joy, that they were once mtore at liberty. Not a few perched them selves in the tops of tall pitnes and pioplars, to afl'ord themselves a better observation of the marne' res of their deliverer, who was running about, shaking the bushes like a madan, and show, shew, shew, shew, showinzg at every breath. Abotathis time the other t wo men returned after an unsuc cessful hunt for their horse. They arrived at the citap just to time to see t'heir cart consumed bty fire, it having catught from the camp fire while the strangen was enga ge in watering the chickens. There sat tha jug, solitary and along, the cause of all the trouble. The party remained as lung as the whiskey lasted, but what become of them afterwards de ponent saith not.-Sandersrilue Tel.

The .Mlills Point Ilerald gives a sketch of great interest relative to a lawyer of this city. It is a colunr. long, and we must condense it. It relates that at a restaurant in dais city, one night was assembled a party of young Creoles. at the invitation of fine of their number who had just taken out a licence to practice law in Louisiaua. The hosa. after drinking much ntine, got huisacrou'. nad lkiked round, anxious to flnd somebody to inaul. lie at last dis covered a spare old maaan ina the coraner, at whot he commenced firing melon seels fromt bet ween the thluamb. nad fing-r. The first one hit lim on the left ear. The se cond hit his fand, and the third rebounded fr..m his breast.
