MILD WEATHER.-lti is something queer,
the long continued mildweather with which
We have been favored during the present
month. Saving a Few icy, boreal days. the
weather has been an imitation of spring
and autumn pretty true 10 the originals.
Yesterday, for instance, was an April day
as clearly as though il had come several
months later in the calendar, and not on
the I'D OF December, close on to Christ
mass, and but few scattering flakes
OF snow, which were very evident
ly not native born, but must have
been waited from a point several
parallels removed from Nashville The
good people Of our sister city Louisville
have been treated TO extensive doses Of
genuine winlery weather. When large
gang Of men are kept At work clearing
! the street railroad trackf OF ice 20 keep the
cars running one may calculate that old
BOreas is demonstrating ia that locality
/ for a dead certainty. Sach experience
have the Louisvillains been ENJOYING for
ssne days during the past week, ss see the
! journals Of that city. By good right the
boys should be sliding down Capitol Hill
and there should be good skating on the
i Edgeheld ponds, but there is not.

The CRIMINAL CoURT-THE MURDER
Frs OF JACK KENNALLY.-Ths long and
tedious trial of Antonio and Moore, charged
with the murder of policeman Kennally,
was concluded last evening. An accom-
plice named Allen had been tried on a
separate indictment, and sentenced to the
State prison for twenty years. The YER
dict of the jury in the case of Antonio, was
murder in the first degree, and that Of
Moore, of murder in the second de-
gree. The case has been elaborately ar
gued, both for the prosecution and the de-
Tense, and has enlisted deep feeling and
attracted much attention. lr...t..t
We hear the closing argument Of General
w. B. Bate for the prosecution, spoken Of
as one of extraordinary ability and elo-
quence. Gen. Bate enjoys high rePuta-
ton as one of the most acute and able
criminal lawyers in the country, and his ef-
fort on this occasion has rarely been
equalled. . n ,HsfU l|L.5. l
