BEFORE JUSTICE DAvIDsON.-The
notorious Cow case " of Slater VS..
Bierstadt, as announced in yester-
days paper, was again brought up for
trial. A jury was empannelled in the
morning at Squire Davidson's office,
but as there we're so many witnesses
aud spectators, it was removed to the
Court House In the afternoon. A
whole swarm of witnesses were exam
ined for the prosecution, but at a late
hour last evening the Court adjourned,
and it will be continued again to-day.
The witnesses on one side have not
all been examined yet, and the case
may occupy two days more. We heard
considerable about " dark red COW,
with GRUMPY horns" and as there is
a lawyer on each side, We may expect
this case to string out to an almost
interminable length. 1t will cost
somebody considerable money. 1t is
a good deal like a case we heard Of.
where two men went to law about a
stretcher chair worth sixty cents,
which was finally carried to the Su-
preme Court, and cost the loser seven
hundred and seventy dollars. We
shall inform our readers how this case
ends.

STRUCK WITH A BoWLDER.-About
2 o'clock yesterday morning a nan
by the name of Dennis Finnegan,
who has been running on the steamer
Coosa. got into a fuss with John Day,
the Waterman on the boat, when Day
drew a revolver and threatened to
shoot him. After the alteration was
about over, Finnegan left the boat
and went on shore. He was followed
by Day. however, who renewed the
quarrel, and finally hit Finnegan a
terrible blow on the cheek bone with
a bowlder, breaking the bone and
badly injuring him. He was removed
to the Eugine House as soon as dis
covered, but as Day had jumped into
a skif and set out for the Kentucky
shore, no arrest was made. The City
Physician examined Finnegan and
took several pieces of bone out of his
cheek and dressed his wound. He
was removed to a boarding house,
and when the Coosa gets back the
officers will be very apt to get the
watchman.

RAJ The people of New Albany
have got another sensation, and they
glory over it with their usual gusto.
They have got a clear case of miscege-
nation, and the Ledger gives all the
particulars Of the case. From it we
learn that a " beautiful white woman,
over whose head seventeen Summers
suns have not yet shown" has been
living on terms of criminal intimacy
with an aged negro, or, as the Ledger
expresses it, " an ugly unwashed bar
barian from the African jungles."
They were both arrested and taken
before the Mayor, who fined them
each $27 so. The name of the negro
is Pharoh Pullun, and the young
woman is named Lizzie Young. 1t
seems the woman had formerly been a
resident of Tennessee, but has lived
at Louisville and New Albany for the
past three years. She married a man
named Young, in Louisville, who
was killed in a paper mill. No reason
has been assigned why she abandon
ed herself to the wicked desires of
this degraded old negro. Her intel
%ligence, her beauty, and, above all,
her color, should have saved her
from such degradation.

TOBACCO. - The tobacco crop Of
Spencer County is said 10 be very heavy
this wear. and the quality OF the pro-
duct is remarkably fine. Il has com
meneed moving to market, the packets
bringing up large lots Oft every trip.
-Nca0 albany ledger.
We don't see any reason for the
people of Spencer County shipping
their tobacco to Louisville to be
sold when they can send it to a
better market so much nearer
home. Tobacco has brought better
prices in Evansville than at Lou
~isville, and we advise our country
planters to give this market a trial.
But a short time ago, we called atten-
ton to the fact that some sales that
had been made here were rejected, and
the tobacco semitic Louisville, where
it sold for less than was offered in
this city; and besides, there was the
additional cost for freight from here
to Louisville. We believe all that is
necessary to make Evansville a large
tobacco market, is to make known to
the planters and dealers our superior
advantages.

EF Last Summer a proposition
was made by the United States Gov
eminent to the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil to purchase that portion of Oak
Hill Cemetery in which the soldiers
who lost their lives in the late war
we're buried. The United States Gov
eminent, "a we learn, agreed to pay
he city three hundred dollars for
the lot, and remove all the DO lies
from the Firemen's lot to that part it
proposed to purchase. The Firemea's
lot, if vacated, could be sold for four

purchase would make seven hundred
dollars.
Why is it that our Mayor, who has
such financial ability, has not made out

transfer? Seven hundred dollars
would help the city in the payment of
debts aud save twenty-five and a half
per cent. on that amount. at least.
