Parton in Atlantic. The Mory of a Windmill. We went out to Slaymaker's in June to spend the Bummer, but we have been obliged to leave.

Hlaymaker had a small stream near hi bouse, from which he used to pump water into the tank in hi8 garret It occureil to him sometime ago that it would be a good idea to put up a windmill which could do the pumping for him, ho he built one at a cost of $200. The first day it began to revolve it frightened Slay-maker'a beat home, so that it ran against the fence, and wa killed, and the arms was so long that they nearly brained Slaymaker's oldest bey, who was standing beneath, watching the maohine, when it n.ldenly (topped work and refused to move an, inch Hlaymaker aocord-ingly pumped the tank full, and just ae he stopped, the mill 'began to pump like fury. Hlaymaker, in alarm, procured a rope and tied one of the wings to a tree When the- tank was empty he tried to make th windmill fill it again, but the concern wa immovable. Theu Hlaymaker waited for a couple-of weeks, and oarried the water up to th house- In buckets, because he was afraid to AU tank, when the mill' might get to Work at, any moment. Finally, a there seemed to be wo hope of the machinery getting all rigid again, be did pump the tank full, and, then went to bed.

That night there was the first hurricane ever known that neighborhood. The windmill made about four hundred revolutions a minute, and left ths bed of the stream below it completely dry, while it poured nearly six hundred gallons hour into Slaymakers garret The boarders swam out through the windows, and- spent TOBt of the night in the barn, while Slay-maker took a tree, from' whieh, at daylight he a magnificent view of the-falls as they poured pioturesquely from, the attio windows, every minute or two bringing out with them a chair or a hair trunk, or one of Slaymakers shirts, or a washstand. Mrs. Hlaymaker will elean house this summer, but Hlaymaker a windmill that he is anxious to sell. He will probably close it out cheap to a purchaser who will take it awsv right off.

Fe fiva-aoore year it has baea a fire-axl Ul in ali tha region of enures, many variation hav crept into ii and our plain aarratlv will, ia many ra.

pec la, differ front th popular taia. But hav drawn our atory from th report of th trials published it th time, and which, by laps ufyaare.haa now hououi exceedingly Wiaroa. Probably vary fas people now living vr saw a copy. In on wa naed la th property of on of th loanwd Judge of our nupreoi court, who kindly loaaod it for our purpose, It i eentury cine there lived in Nw Ha van a merchant who earnad on a ahipplug tnaia with th Want India and other foreign porta, whose oaiu was Adam BSlsiouk- He owned a brig which waa about dispatching to tha Woot Indio and tbenoa to tb Bay or Honduras. Being in want of aaikuu, and learning by feta brother Henry of the virtuu in that line of a young rou who lived at Htonmgton, by tha name of l'hiuea htantou.

wrot to him a letter, and th result waa tha angagemeot of young Blanton in Baboock'a brig as mat fur tha voyage. Tb vowed amvd at Kt Croix, wbar tManfcm wished to land, and also wished sous money to expend on shore. Lor that purpose aeked of Babeock a portion of hi Wages. High word ensued and a quarrel begun, which lasted during th remainder of their Uvea, and oust each of them thousand of dollars. On hia arrival at New Haven, Htanton had soneiderable difficulty in effecting a settlement with Babcock, and claim! finally to have been cheated out of about twenty pounds.

Btill tbs matter waa settled, as th tan tons supjioMed, finally. Biit crely had young Htanton arrived at bis bom near Htoningtou, than tha sheriff, in the person of Captain Hud on Rhode name with process to arrest him upon a charge made by Baboook of em hassling the following articles, to wit i A pair of leather breeches, a gbtss mustard pot, a bottle with gunpowder, and a quantity of old iron. The sheriff was authorised to eettle the matter with Htanton upon his paying the small sum of perhaps Jwsnty shillings. Ia tb course of the trials it appeared that young Htanton had bought noma pieoes of firewood of Baboock while on the voyage, and the old iron wa the nail-t which bad remained in the ashes. Baboock had not, evidently, reed th decision of th case of Shylock vs.

Antonio, else ha would kav set np the claim that he sold tha old wood, yet sold no old nails which the wood contained! But there being some question whether the title to tha old nails did not remain in Htanton, Baboock withdrew the charge, In regard to the old glue mustard-pot, aooording to the etateuient, one shilling, it waa proved to have been taken by young Htanton from Baboock's bouse to Baboook 'a brig for tha me of Baboock'semployeea, on Baboock's table, and to have been there left when the young man left the brig, and so Babcock withdrew that oharge. In regard to the gunpowder, it waa proved to have been bought and paid for by young Htanton before he left New Haven on the voyage, and so Baboock withdrew the charge. Babcock' bill was now teduoed to the single item of one pair of leather breeches, worth in the firet place sixteen shillings, but which, being very dirty, needed swashing, which ooat three shillings that would reduce their value, in the firet place to thiiiien shillings, and on these breeches the try ueudoug law fight took place. To unravel the story of these breeohes, from tbe prolix narrative of the younger Htanton, who, aooording to his ttwn statement, whs neither a grammarian, an attorney, nor, indeed, so much as a pettifogger." has been our laborious task, with what success, we leave our readers to judge. 1 Babcock practically charged young Stanton with having stolen oertain tilings belonging to him (Babcock), and Htanton could not pay the paltry sum which Babcock demanded, without acknowledging himsclf( thief.

The elder Stanton was one of thoee stern old fellows who, rather than see his son disgraced, would expend thousands in his defense and be joined bis son in the fight i u- Tbe report of these celebrated trials (there were nine) is comprised in a stout pamphlet of one hundred and sixty-eight pages, closely printed in very small type, enlivened with copious extracts from Hhukspeare, Hudibras South's Sermons, Pope, Macliiavelli, the Spectator, the Bible, Milton, and many other authors. The pamphlet is not divided into chap-tera there is no break in tbe subject from beginning to appendix, and thence to the end; the various trials are not separated the evidence rung along, and then comes a decision then Stanton's discussions, and then ths same repeated. The story of these various trials and their results is briefly told as follows Babcock Commenced proceedings by serving an attachment upon young Stanton for embezzling 'certain, things to wit i pair of leather breeches, a glass mustard-pot, some old iron, and a half a pound of gunpowder the verdict declared Htanton not guilty. Htanton now sued Baboock for defamation of character. Babcock pleaded justification.

The jury gave Stanton verdict, with $100 damages and costa. Babcock appealed to tbe Superior Court of. Norwich. The case was again heard, and again went against Babcock, with a- verdict cf $73 costs; but the oourt, considering the damages too much, returned the case to tbe jury for a second consideration, which resulted reducing tbe amount of damage awarded Htanton to $30. Babcock moved an arrest judgment, but tbe Court adjourned without hearing on the motion.

Two or three months after, the Court heard the argument this motion, decided the plea insufficient, issued execution. Babcock now- petitioned the Court to giTe him a new trial of first cause against Stanton for embezzlement, which had baen decided in Stanton's favor. The Court granted a new tri ll, the result of which was in Babcocks favor; the declared Stanton guilty, and gave damages of thirty-six shillings and costs. Upon result Stanton petitioned for a new trial. This petition waa continued along for four years, and waa finally granted.

In the meantime Babcock petitioned for a new trial of the of Stanton aguinst him for defamation, which case had been decided against Babcock. petition the Court refused to grant. Babcock then petitioned the General Assembly Connecticut to' reopen the case. petition the General Assembly refused to grant Babcock had also meantime sued Htanton to recover certain moneys ha had in connection with tbe suita. This Case came on for trial at a time when supposing it was to be continued, was not present It went by default in Babcocks favor, ten or eleven pounds deranges.
