The Shebife 1 on The Road.—General Mattopn, of Amherst, Mass, formerly sheriff of Hampton county, on starting one snowy winter many years ago to drive to Northampton to open court, met a team and shouted to the driver, " Turn out! lam High Sheriff of the county." The man pulled his coat-collar up around his ears, and replied, " I dont care who you are ;I am itl no great hurry." The result was that the general had to unhitch and lead his horse by, while the stranger went his way. Meeting another team before reaching Hadloy, the sheriff tried the same game with bettersuccess, saying, " Turn out! I am Hfgh Sheriff of the county. If you don't I'll serve you as I did a fellow I met here a-piece." The man unhitched in a jiffy, put his sleigh up on the bank, and let the sheriff pass, and, as he did so, called out to him, "What did you do with that fellow back there ?": *' Oh," said the general,^ "he wouldn't turn out, so I turned out."
