While in, this exuberance of spirits lie is some-; I times a little obstreperous, and is aj little forgetful of the rights of others.; f It happened that was the case onej day last week, and so much infringed J 5 on the premises of another that the; I proprietor fo't called upon to use a> I brick upon tliiai "citizens" head. The! S result was, as mi^ht be supposed,: j| the brick got the worst of it, but | K then Manuel got more than he feJtj & warranted in receiving, and wentj f to Court to get balm for his wound- i r ^ j ed head, but the jury declined to furL J J J j nish an order for the desired lii>a-| jnent, and the case was dismissed. ( "BIG PATURDAV NIOHT's" FIGHT. I "On lieaven and on thy lady call And enter the er.chanted hall." So thought Mr. Saniuo1 Marshall,I * who is more familiarly known by his, associates as ,!Beef Sam1" and al-j though Sam is a married man, and; ^ the head of, what ouglit to be to him,j | an interesting fainilj*, he occasionally loves to spcnJ an evening with his good looking female acquaintances,: and for this reason he called on liisi c-\f!oo I.i'.nijn R.iim* ivlifi |R KdinP.1 fc 1IICIIU JJl oo livutiw ??, * ? ~ ? --?, times called by tb5 eupbonious cnli-| | tie of "Big Saturda}* 2sight," or "Sat-. uruay Evening," as the politeness of the speaker might suggest. livery-j tiling went on lovely until Lou began j tofeelliko retiring, when she gently j intimated Lo Mr. Marshall that she thought it was time fur him to go, by kindly asking him "to call again." Sam however was having a charming! time, and the ' golden hours wero unconsciously chased away on angels! wing*," until a later hour than she thought it prudent for a woman of her high character to be entertaining gentlemen, and, as she slept in the jmrlor,she politely asked Sam ' to go," but still Sam lingered, until finally ?' * At : f J j , 4 JjOU reeling mat a gooa cuaracucr was at stake and feelin<; keenly the reproach that might bo brought upon hor by Sam's prolonging his stay until the honr when "grave yards yawn," and not having the fear of his palanic majesty the town marshal or any other man, before her eyes, lifted a billet of wood and at once' began to split it into kindling splinters over Sam's defenceJess head. Sam suddenly remember ? edthocascof Samson and his wife Delilah, of earlier days; and made for her hair,. But her case and Samson's were entirely dissimilar. She was apparently stronger after losing her capillary covering than before, and sho hastily, with that stick ol cord wood, boat a tattoo on the head of her visitor. Next morning both parties laid in their complaints to Judge Hughes, when a jury was summoned and the merits aud demerits of their rcspcct ive cases was looked into. Mis* Louisa Barr, as the vromon geocrallj do, came out victorious. Tho Judge domanded that Mr. Marshall slial j)ay the costs ($7.00) of tho suit, 01 jn case of his inability to compl) xrilli this rtivlnt* of flip Court. tlx Judge in lbo kindness of his heart generously offered to savo him the /expense of house rent and provisions for a week by furnishing him lodging jn tho County Hotel for that lengtl of time. Sam being flush settled uj and the caso was dismissed, ho failing to get a balm for" his blegding heari ud lacerated head. I ' ! Mr. Cromer and his Old Vest | Mr. Wesley Cromer was ia town last week looking ifn usually well and cheerful. In going into' expensive h lawsuits he i9 a little prodigal some- ^ times, but in othe'V matters-he is par- i' ticularly closo. lie doos not believe ? in sponding ail his income for clothes, a (hois entirely too stingy to think of t subscribing for a newspaper,) and ho r wears what might be termed old r clothes, if forty-five yours entitles 1 clothes to be thus called. The vest l' which he wore to town qn last Satui*- r dajT was made by tho McLarens in ^ 11S30, and is tho one in which ho was t married, not tho last time, but tho k firsttimo. Though he claims that this n vest and he are made of tho best mate- & irial, 'it is clearly to bo observed that n both the owner and it have seon better a days, and that they now show signs of s' l-? U?U. The ownor prizes this vost most s' highly for moro reasons than one. Cl By it tho association of earlier and w happier years aro renewed in thought, ' and with it ho is almost enabled to " livoover again sorao of tho happiest o' and best days of earlier and prosper, oas manhood. In it ho can almost sec reflected tho realization of love's I] young dream, in tho bright eyes, the j \ tender hands, and tho loving heart of! a sweet young bride. Since those j halcyon da)s, lifo has been stripped of its charms, romanco and beauty; ^ and stern, facts, fund not a?reeablo V / ones cither,) now staro tho old man ^ in the face. And for another reason the ownor prizes this vest most high- w ly, becausc of tho service it has ron- ^ dered in protecting from the stormy tl winds of many a winter, whatever al others may think, a heart, in tr his opinion, as w inn and true as the ! w heart or soul of man could wish. a; <?? a; Maj. 11. A. Geiffin, our well , -L*- h Known agncuiiui'istr, muu? mo ui^i . tl visit to town on Saturday last since his return from Florida. Ho speaks s< in glowing terms of the luxurious |ri enjoyment of a winter in the "land b of flowers," and of the profits of the: orange culture. Groves of seven or; eisrlit acres yield an annual incomo ofin I A ?10,000, without any labor and ex- "'1 pense but tiic cost of gathering and!? shipping to market. In seven years h from planting, the orange tree com- li incnce-i bearing, and attaining its t\ full bearing capacity in seven yesys " more, surviving for ono hundred is vcars. So it will be seen that an |0 orange grove is a little fortune. Mr. Ip( G. states that at present there is much interest manifested in the culture.j and capital is being invested.
