A number of citizens III Jefferson coun- ty, Arkansas, agree to pay $50 to any one that will detect person slaughtering swine or cattle running in the woods, not belong to them, or for the detection and conviction of a horse thief.

 Something of the kind in the way of slaughtering cattle occurred near this town few days since, when the poachers were politely brought before an esq. to answer &c. One of them amused the honorable court and spectators by the following Vir- ginia fence declaration.

 MAGISTRATE. (to prisoner. ''Your are brought here sir, to answer to the charge of having shot and taken away heifer that was not yours. What have youto say in defence?"

 PRISONER. "Please prove it sir?"

 MAG. ''I will if you have not confess ed itlo

 And this same delinquent had sworn at the onset that he had not seen the ''animal,n y for SIX weeks. Though probably he meant, that eye and not "E'' saw it 'sr."
