Oar Circuit Judge Again.

The man who is % hold this high and re-
sponsible position should certainly be honest
and capable
Does any honest man question the honesty
and capability of Hon. E. I. Hall Ifso, Is It
irrespective of and above party bias
Let us not turn away one whom we have tried
bat let US unite upon the man who has had ex-
perienee, and who has been true to his country
laws under trying circumstances
We need not depFociate the character Of other
sspirsnts by saying that Judge Hall deserves
the position for his fidelity TO the laws, aad the
impartiality in which he has administered the
laws since he has been our Judge.

The Experience Of Nan who was sup
posed TO be Dead aud was Placed in III,
Morguc.
The San Francisco Add california give.
the suloined accountsof the experience ot
German, who was supposed to have died
in that city, and whose body was immedi-
! ately removed and placed in the dead
house attached to the hospital in which he
had been under treatment: The body was
! deposited in case where two other bodies
had already been placed, and between them.
| The cover was put on and the keeper of the
dead house retired for the night. About
midn ght loud screaming and yelling OF
! the most unearthly character was heard In
! the dtad-house. The watchers heard it.
! the patients heard it, and the party who
had charge of this portion of the building
heard it also. The keeper of the dead
-house was sought after, but being aware of
ceaiment, preferring to let the ghosts fight
1t out among themselves, rather than to
attempt to become peace-maker
The yells and shouts in the dead-house
still continued while the door received an
occasional bang, accompanied by the de-
mands, open the door; let me out" At
last the Keeper was prevailed upon to pro-
eeed to the dead-house and open the door,
when the ghostIy form of the German
whose life had been a few hours previously
pronounced extinct and who had been
dressed in the robes of the dead, stood be-
fore him. The keeper tainted outright,
while the terrified German rushed head
long through the long halls and corridors
of the building, spreading dismay and ter
ror as he went. Some more courageous
than the rest, caught and arrested him in
his frantic career but the next instant the
poor German fell on the floor in fit, The
physician was at once sent for, and restora-
tives used, by which he was restored to
consciousness, and although he is still
weak and under treatment in the hospital,
his recovery is considered certain. How
he felt when he returned to consciousness,

And Moons broad. fcrvid. earnest light

I'LL like a story well nigh told
VIII seem my life-when I am odd
When am old, This breezy earth
Win lose for me its voice of mirths-
The streams will have an undortonc
OF sadness--not by right their own,
And springs sweet power in vain unfold
In rosy charms-when ] am Old
When 7 am old | shall not care

Twill be no vain desire Of mine
In rich and costly dress to shine;
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
VIII charm me n0t-when am old
When am old my friends will be
Old and infirm, and bowed, like me;
Or else their bodies meath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God
The old Church bell will long have tolled
Above the rest-when am old.
When am old, I'd rather bend
Thus sad DER each departed friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth
That marks the friendship OF our youth;
Twill be so sad TO have them cold
Or strange to me-when ! am old.

To picture in prophetic rhyme
That dim, far distant, shadowy time;
SO distant that il seems DER bold

Perhaps my dwelling will be found

Ere i am old-that time is now,
For youth sits lightly on my brow;
NY limbs are firm and strong, and free.
Life has a thousand charms for me
Charms that will long their influence hold
Within my heart-ere l am old.
Ere / am DIDO let me give

An early summons 10 depart,
Or find my heightened days consoled
By Gods sweet peace-when l am old.

We clip the following from the Bolivar
Tenn. Bulletin.
EX-Judge Fielding Hurst, now Revenu9
Collector for the Columbia district, is des-
tined to be brought up a standing" for
one of his many tyranical acts during the
war. The facts in. the case, as we learn
them from the best Of authority, are as fol-
lows: In the winter of 1868, while cohOrt-
ing around with his notorious regiment,
the It'll Tennessee, Federal, he came to
Bolivar and demanded of DR.. George
Wood, fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars IN
gold, and said if the money was not furn-
ished, that he would burn the houses. of
Geo. Wood, RObt. II. Wood, J. II. Bills,
r. P. Nicely and J. J. Nicely. NOw, it
must be borne in mind that DIR. Wood did
not owe Hurst one cent, but that his son,
who was then over twenty-one years of
age, and doing a mercantile business
in this place, or had been, was endorsed on
note for 81 900 which note was held by a
member of Hurst's regiment named
Reynolds, who died or was killed during
the war. Knowing the desperate character
of Hurst, the unwarrantabls demand was
complied with and he departed with the
money, Mrs. Reynolds says that her hus-
band never received the thousand dollars
thus forcibly collected by Hurst and the
inference is that the doughty Colonel
pocketed the coin. Dr. Wood hes brought
suit for the recovery Of his gold, and will
no doubt be able to recover it II. n
Hill, of Bolivar, is council for DR.. Wood
We suppose the case will be tried at
Columbia
Mr. Hill is now IN Columbia looking
after the interest of his client and we wish
him every success.
