THE NEW GENESEE FARMER 



Vol. 



Advantages of Iiaw. 



A young man who etudied law in Connecticut, be- 

 come acquainted with the following facts, which are 

 certainly very remarkable, though not so singular. A 

 farmer cut down a tree which stood so near the boun- 

 dary line of bio farm, that it was doubtful whether it 

 belonged to him or his neighbor. That noigbbor 

 claimed the tree, and prosecuted the man who cut it for 

 damages. The case was continued from court to 

 court. Time was wasted, temper soured, and friend- 

 ship lost ; but the case was gained by the prosecutor. 

 The last my friend knew of the trnnsaction, the man 

 who " ^ot the case" came to the lawyer's office to 

 execute a deed of his whole farm, which he bad been 

 obliged to sell to pay cost I Then, houseless and 

 homeless, he could thrust bis hand into his empty 

 pocket, and triumphantly exclaim, "I've beat him!" 

 — Selected.
