A very Daniel of a judge lives in Memphis. He came to judgment the other day in a case %bout a goose. This graceful fowl fell into a river, and it was rescued by a man and brother nigger, who claimed i 8 , salvage from its owner, an Italian. The D latter wouldn't pay it, and produced a persuasive pistol, whereupon the colored person marche-i off with the goose and got a warrant for assault.
