JUDGE COLLAMER.
In order to give our readers some idea of the private character of Judge Collamer, we will relate a little event that occurred but a short time ago. A young man who had business relations with the judge, found himself, by the force of adverse circumstances, in a fair way to lose two thousand dollars cash, unless some friend came to his relief. Imagine his surprise and gratitude when Judge Collamer himself, entirely unsolicited, came forward and saved him from the dilemma. The young man said "Judge, I never can repay you."
"Very well,' replied the judge, 'if you never should, when you get as old as I am, if you have the chance, do the same to some other young man."
