A Vielation of the Treaty.-Among the appellantis for justice at the Record er's officeyesterday. was Damon Duafleld, an old Ethiopian, whose wood-saw was hung on his shoulder like the guitar of a trouhadure, ere the day of chivalry had gone by. Damon looked about as wise as an owl is day light; he appeared to have borrowed for the occasion the dila pidatod fat of Jacques Strop, and the re mainder (if his wardrope shomed made to Dnatch. Iis hair was a grizzly grey. and his iface wrinkled and puckery, like a postillion's boot. "1 wants to hab dis'ere business settled. inassa 'Corder, dasgrceble to e coustitu shin..

"And pray," said the Recorder. "what has this ne;ia to do with the siolattimo of the treaty or the traeing of the bounda ry Nue! "I aint got nulin at all." said the fel low witlh tie miou bfu of bone,. "But I says you hab," said Damon, "-and I'll just splaiu do whole ting to mas on Judge. in less time dan I'd be sharpo Diu' my saw." "Well then, let us hear you." said the Recorder. Wal, it's jut' di, ninssa," said Da mol, "you sees dis chil' is an old oquatter and no mistake.

Thte village has beeti exempt from almnost every dlescriptiotn of immor ality up to the present day, and is onie of the liapie-st v'illages in otur coauntry, amnd there is into reasont why it sihouldl not con tinua to lie so, to the endi af time.
