[WRITTEN POR THE STAR—BY JAMES LITTLE.] On a certain occasion, about five years ago, in Judge ——’s court. (we mean Squire —'s magistrate’s office.) which had the distin- guished honor to hold its diurnal and nocturnal sessions somewhere within the legal precincts of the county of Washington, was performed, for the first time, in this city, as the managers say, a serio-comic burletta, rich in incident, and replete with wit and humor. All the dramatis persone who figured in this judicial extravaganza are well known to themselves, if not to the community; and, therefore, without farther orchestral preliminary, we will ring up and go on. It was the first day of April, a significant day in the calender, and our representative of the sword and scales was seated on his bench in the efficient e: ise of his functions, whgn an exasperated scion of the memorable Ham rushed in, all boiling with his wrongs, and charged another twig of the ‘‘ebo-shin and gizzard-foot’’ ancestor with having threatened to flick him. The Judge, in the exuberance of bis forensic wisdom, immediately issued a United States warrant, (the Government paid, ay, and paid well, too, fr all sorts of United States warrants in those golden days,) charg- ing the defendant with having on the first day of April, in the county aforesaid, with malice prepense, threatened to flick him, the com- plainant, against the peace and quiet of the Government of the United States. The Judge had hardly affixed the J. P. to hissiga-manual when a dozen hungry constables simultaneously clutched at the precious document, knockin, over the inkstand, which emptied its turbi contents upon the upper portion of his honor’s trousers. The warrant, which had been di- rected to any qualified constable, was finally, after a desperate struggle, secured by the strongest official, and this victor, with his spoil, immediately left the office, and presently returned, bringing the accused, who insisted upon a trial instanter. At this crisis of affairs, the Doetor, who generally practiced at the yr in Judge § circuit, came into court, and his invaluable services were instantly secured for the defence As all the parties were present and ready for trial, the case was opened; and amid profound silence was read the charge, to which the de- fence pleaded not guilty. The Doctor now Tose, with the bearing of the immortal Web- ster when about to ¢ an intricate law-point before the Supreme Court of the United States, and addressing old basin-head, (for such was the xom de plan of our modern Mansfield,) said ‘*May it please the court: The prisoner at the bur stands, or rather sits, charged before this honorable tribunal—I will not say solemn tribunal, because that obese constable there has his hat on—charged with having threat- ened to fick—t-o f-l-i-c-k, to flick, that is the verb—the man upon whose information and oath this charge has been preferred. Now, sir, this strange accusation is, on the very face of it, and in the manner of its atatement, fatile, imbecile, an thout any foundation either in law or in equity; and I here, in this inceptive stage of the investigation, pronounce it unten- le and without even the most remote corus- cation of meaning. I have never, in all my extensive reading, met with the word flick. Would your honor, therefore, vouchsafe to in- timate in what edition of your vocabulary may be found the word flick ’—for it is a singular fact that in the forty-odd thousand words of which the English language is composed, this word does not appear in any of the ten classi- fications. I have searched the records of an- tiquity, dived to the very bottom of belles let- tres, ransacked, ay, ransacked all the archives of learning, and I cannot find that the word flick belongs to any language which was ever spoken by the humantongue. Let us see how it would conjugate as a verb active-transitive, which part of speech it is intended to be used in this warrant. I fick him, thou Aickest him, he flicks him. Now let us hear how it will sound in Latin. the language of scholars. rp pear d pe pee imered eeemeae gee It is evident that to conjagate this verb through all its moods, tenses, ticiples, gerunds and supines, would certainly break or dislocate any man’s jaw-bone, or at all events cause him to stutter for the remainder of his natural exis- tence. The fact is, sir, I am really ata loss to understand anything at all about the applica- tion of this mystical exotic. Perhaps your honor’s literary penetration and sagacity may throw some illumination upon this benighted subject, and enable you to classify the word in question, and define its meaning. I pause for your honor’s ecclaircissement.”’ “<I will state,” replied his honor, “that al- though I am not Thessed with learning, and indeed I might say that I now speak without education, yet’’—— ” ; “If your honor will permit me, I will state that a similar event occurred in Balaam’s time,”’ interrupted the doctor. * Yet,’ continued the soi dzsant imbodi- ment of jurisprudence, *‘common sense teaches that flick means flog."” : Then, sir, your preceptor fis an egregious an ass as your honor, et Balaamis asinus erat melror judex. Your honor, I believe, is not acquainted with the classics.” 2 * No, but I am familiar with the scriptures,’ responded the exponent of transient judicials.”’ + In that case your honer must perfectly un- derstand the allusion which I have just made to a certain long-eared quadruped, unt of the colloquial ability of which may be found ia that portion of the Bible denominated Num- bers. decidedly incline to the opinion that there was a sad mistake made when you were placed on the gy zen were pag eut out for the desk; and, consequently, as your knowledge of law is confined solely to the Mosaic jurisprudence. which has no bearing at all upon the case at issue, I insist that you will immediately, if not sooner, enlarge my client, and let him go flickering on the wings of lib- <— the doctor paused, and, after removing deus his face the excretions caused by the ac- tion of the cuticular pores, looked inquiringly at the bewildered pa ves who, with a ing y, doctor, you have just used the word Jlickering yourself.’” ‘ * Plickonag, may it please the court, is a articiple from the v to flicker, which is Seri from the Lae i, ore and means, not to nor to bray. it to flutter as some birds do with their wi of fying.

[WRITTEN FoR THE sTar.} For the substantial accuracy of tne following story I can truly vouch, as one of the parties is intimately known to me. The tragic scene, while it affords a true development of the in- dividual suffering and horrors incident to war, especially to border wars, discloses traits of youthful courage and presence of mind emi- nently worthy of public record : “Towards the close of the late war with Great Britain, in 1812 or 1314, when the Amer- ican arms had been so far victorious as to alarm and intimidate the Indians on the frontier, they acceded to a proposition to meet Ameri¢ can Commissio at Greenville, Ohio, for the — of makin, Treaty of peace, and of in- emnities. The British authorities in Canada, learning the intelligence of this contemplated Convention, became anxious to prevent as many of the tribes disposed to attend it as pos- sible from doing so. For this purpose they detached a force of Canadian savages, com- manded by a Freneh Canadian officer, whose object was to intercept a tribe of American Indians and overawe them from Proceeding to Greenville. This scheme soon became known to the military authorities of the United States onthefrontier. They promptly adopted meas- ures to counteract the project of the enemy. They selected s lad about sixteen years of age, (who was afterwards a Paymaster in the Army. to which place he was promoted: he died in Detroit, October 2st, 1849,) the son of a re- speoted native of this country, who had enjoyed the confidence and good-will of the Indians all bis life. The father having died, they trans- ferred their attachment to the son. This boy, arming himself with a scalping knife, toma- hawk, musket and ammunition, engaged as his companion a half-breed, the nephew of the Canadian commander of the hostile Indian force, somewhat older than himself, and pro- ceeded from Detroit to visit the friendly Indians and to induce them, by his hereditary influence, to proceed on their mission to Green- ville, as well as to warn them against the med- itated attempt of the enemy to intercept them. The two lads marched with celerity, amidst trying dangers and difficulties. They passed a Pottawatomie village, with the aboriginal inhabitants of which the American lad was a great favorite. These Pottawatomies were aware of the movement of the Canadian In- dians, and after the two lads had left, in pur- suit of the business which they had been dis- patched, they became apprehensive that their youthful favorite and his companion might be massacred by the hostile force, and therefore sent a number of their warriors after them, for the purpose of affording them protection. Be- fore the generous allies overtook them, the two boys had an to cross a river in a eanoe, and on the opposite shore of which had just descried a detachment of the savageenemy. But it was too late' They were ordered by the Canadian commander of the detachment to come on shore and surrender themselves. Feigning submis- sion, our young heroes, as they approached the enemy, whose commander was advancing to- wards them alone, came to the determination to sell their lives dearly, and not to be taken alive, if captured at all. They formed the plan of walking up as near as possible with safety to the Canadian officer and shooting him down on the spot, each pledging himself to the ether to fire simultaneously. As they came near to him the half-breed discovered that the officer was his uncle. Fora moment he fiut- tered; but reinspired by the determined spirit and energy of the American Jad, he marched fearlessly towards the commander. Within a few steps of him he demanded an immediate surrender of themselves and arms. They looked around them, and perceived that the hostile savage detachment were stationed on the brow of hill about fifty yards distant. They felt their perilous situation; but, with undaunted firmness and desperate resvlution, they told the Canadian officer not to come any nearer to them, if he did they would certainiy kill him. At first he laughed at them, for he could not suppose it possible that two boys, neither of them eighteen years of age, would in the face of a large detachment of the savage enemy, who were burning with resentment and flushed with hope, dare execute their threat. Finding that they were in no wise intimidated by the dangers which on all sides surreunded them, the Canedian commander resorted to the bold expedient of moving towards his youthful ad- versaries, and throwing open his ers defy ing them to fire at him, at the same time rais- ing his sword to cut down the young American. In this act of striking they both shot him tirough the heart, and he fell at their feet; but such was the presence of mind of the youn: American in the fearful circumstances, an uncertain whether the officer was certainly dead, that to render ‘‘assurance doubly sure” and to prevent the possibility of his calling out to his detachment to fire on them, he turned the butt-end of his musket and with it broke at one blow the neck of the enemy whom they had shot. At this instant the friendly Potta- watomies providentially appeared on the op- posite shore of the river, gave a tremendous yell, and rushed across the stream with the ra- pidity of lightning. The savage enemy, by this time apprised of the fate of their comman- der, and seeing the rapid approach of the Pot- tawatomies, took to flight. The brave lads were saved, and proceeded on their journey, amidst perils scarcely less imminent than the one they had just escaped, and effected the object of their mission.* The treaty of Green- ville was signed and ratified, peace was restored with the Indian tribes. The intrepid young American, left a Resgrrn orphan by the deat! of his parent and the disastrous effects of the war, lived to educate and bring up a Ia: family of sisters by his own exertions, and still lives, in affluence, to enjoy the society of that family, zepesieny established in life, and to see the savage wilderness where he was cradled and matured under the uplifted tomahawk, in a state of high cultivation and blossoming and blooming like the rose. ———* They were sent by the Hon. Lewis Cass, the present Secretary of State, then Goy- ernor of Michigan. It is a rule in Paris that every tenant of a hired house or suite of rooms must give a long notice before he quits, and that from the date of the notice the apartments must be shown to all persons desiring to see them. Young Alexander Dumas has lately been sad! annoyed by the working of this rule; His peat either from spite or to enhance the value of the house, placed this advertisement in the papers: “ For rent at $800 a year, a handsome small house with a garden, Rue de Boulogne, No. 10, at present occupied by Monsieur Alex. Dumas, jr. Apply Rue de Blanch, No. 72.”” Every idle man, woman, and child in Paris has run thither to see the author's house—to see how it was furnished—to see whether it be true that it was cheaply furnished—to see if t-aces could be detected there of the other sex; astray veil, an errant bonnet, a forgotten dress. Consequently he was driven to hire another lodging till his old one was let. Hat AND en Aes <= i poi nag National Sanitary vention, in Boston, Dr. on “Heat as a disinfectant * WASHINGTON, D. C..
