SOT XV THE STATETE5. > f, Judge C , -of Vermont, was found c "of a juke;' when It could nc" "done" I without special injury Jo public or iudi- - vidua! rights. :i On one occasion he was traveling : n toifard the Boutbern part of the State, V Jo hold terra of court in the c'oontr of W., and came to a pttblls house where a Justice's Court was in "session. As it was late and tho weather cold and wet R, he concluded tv put. up for the night, j Sending his horse to lbe stable, be en- * tered the bar room, which he found t a. crowded with pcbpTe, who seemed great- r 1/ excited abont the case on irifii. lie c had thrown off his outer garments, and 1 was composing himself before' a good 1 n old fashioned blazing fire, wheu ayonng tj tnan came up to him, and, bowing re- ' w •pectfnily, asked his aasistanco in the j, case. "The evidence, " said he, "is all agin me ; bnt they say your honor is death ■; on desperit ca»«, and mine ain't so bad 0 as it might hAtfter all." i - Upon inquiry, the judge learned that j Ids applicant had been arrested foe won tohly upsetting a churn of sap in his j neighbor's sugar lot, Tho youngster v had been caught in the very act by two (J ' respectable witnesses ; and t .its* thn ., evidence was, as ho said, "clear agin B him." After hearing, all the facts, the. Judge j, informed him tliat it was really •- ties- . perate case ; hut he added — f "I will watch the progress of the trial ' c and if an opportauity presents itself 1 s will help yon." » „ Accordingly he throw open the door .. leading from his apartment to the room ; where the trial was going -sin, and sat r a careless spectator of the proceedings. ,j The counsel of the Mute^put in his |, testimony and proved the charge con- ,. clasively.* Thereupon lite magistmtc j, turned upon the respondent, umi with j u loud voire, asked him if he had "got „ anything to say to this Evidential testi- j mooj?" .. <- « The prisoner was dumb', but IgokeOsLp imploringly towards the Judge, who at- j oncw arose nnd approached the table , at which the-Justie* wax bitting. "You needn't thinryou can do any i j kinder good here, for tho rniod of (his ¥ court is entirely made up about tbiscou- j, aarn, that I can telhye, mister." ,, "A'ayit please your Honor," said the j, Judge, bowing gracefully, "it is uo , doubt true that the charge made against /R the respondent U fully sustained bf the > t U-stimony. I do nut deny ~li ; for all j 0 that, he has a defence.'' j , v "A defence ! what on arth is it V< j J } giuilrdthe court. c "^nd. your Honor, it is this; I pro- ; fes* to knew a little nbont law, having , prat tised more than \hirty years jfast, , especially the statue lawa of Vermom. j Now, ytur Honor, 1 may be mistaken : , but I am confident there ia nothing in the statue books of V ertnont against op- f setting either au empty churn or a churn ; , r Ml of sap. 1 beg of the court not to; , rely upon ay word '. but if your Honor , is not satisfied on this point, I would re- ] commend an examination of the slat- f utes." , Tbt counsel for tie State arose to t reply. , "Stop ! stop vociferated the court ; t "this p'inf must be settied before w# > move another i inch." And thereupon seizing the statute book anjl turning to ( the index, he began searching under the | letter C for the word Churn.

Still , unsoecesslnl, he looked under the. title , Crimea and Misdemeanors. Finally j he rummaged the book from beginning ^ to end and finding it silent upon the , subject of upsetting churns, lie arose 1 * and addressed the prisoner and said— p .''Young man, this 'ere court is satis- ' (led that 'herc nin't nothin' In 'the laws J of Vermont agio tipiiiu' over a churn i .. % i

How interesting, i" view of uur vrp^Itioh, to read the stoof nnotler expedition to the sume lo- • eallty jpst three hundred years ag". — The first cblor.yr was sent out by Admiral Coligny, a zealots Protestant, and one of the Ministers of liic L'rowi., w ho at the time c.' ^he war between the French Prctestantu end Catljolirs, ob tjir.eJ- pemievion of Charlfs 1-X. t«^ plant a colony cf Protestants in- Florida— a litem then applied to a great part of the soetBcrn coast. Command ' of i two vessels Was accordingly given to i John Iiibault, "a tnnn expert In sew can- ; nnd In tho. spring uf IMij he lan- ! ded on the Florida coast. Bailing northward, he discovered several rivets/one of which, from "the fairness nnd largen ess of its harbor," he cullrd 1'ort Royal river. | The old chronicler, Londouiere, who ) bccumpained Who expedition, describes ' the scene in glowing colors. Splendid forests, shores festooned with rich grape ! ' clusters, birds of brilliant plumage, stags and deer in the luxuriant savnn- : nnhs. As tho commander cast his fyo | across the waters of the beautiful river | him, says Lnndoniere^aud lueusu- . red the breadth *of its mouth nnd the i depths, of its sounding, he persuaded I himself that "nil the argosies uf Venice could ride upon. its bosom." Accordingly, upon the ivluuda few miles up ; i'uvt Hoynl jivcr he wrected, it is said tlm very spot \vhere the town of j Beaufort now stands, -a pillar witli'thetirm* of France, and n few day* after hlioilt a fort,, which, in honor of -Charles , ^TX., liq called Charles' Furt — Aux : C'aro/i'rtii— frfftn-wiiich cireamstancc the i country took the name uf Carolina. .

Thus it was i that very spot that, for the first time, three hundred years ago, on the North American coast, the fiac of n civilized . ! colony might be seen by the . approachj mariner. Hat tj'is first .French col- i ony did nut flourish, nnd often sending^ out another to the same locattty, tim j | French, in 1-507, gave up all idea of j : maling settlements.
