IL. De IN the County Court, the County
Court clerk. Sheriff, or the overseers of
the roads, and indict the derelict ones.
The Judge also charged them that thew

right at Bigbyyine.

On Tuesday of last week a regular old
time fight took place in Bigbyville. Mr..
S. NJ. Pinneo, formerly of Vermont, and
Mr.. w. j. Kernel, had a trial before
Esquire Holden, about some accounts.
Each began to insinuate that the other
had not "toted fair" in their previous
dealings, and the Squire told them they
had to quit it. They then stepped out
doors and getting on couple of piles Of
rocks-a wagon load apiecefifteen yards
apart, commenced furious fight with
stones. Both are stout men, and the
stones flew through the air like bomb
shells. Kerneli had the advantage in
position, as he was Oh the crest of the
hill, and Mr.. Pinneo was beneath him.
Kernell's shirt burst open, and displayed
red flannel, which the bystanders took
for blood. Piuneo being dauntless
fellow, Was not Discourage by the ad
vantage Of position being against him,
made for Kernel. A we'll aimed blow
from the latter, struck him OH tho right
arm, and palsied it, but he still hepr to-
wards his antagonist. By this time
Esquire Holden had summoned the citi-
zens to put stop TO the fight, which thew
did before Pinneo reached. Kernel. The
Squire fined them three dollars each.
Pinneo was severely punished but Ker-
nell was not hurt. H.a.-

OVER THE CoUNTY.

THERE is one house in Maury county
where no Yankee soldiers foot ever
made tracks. 1t is between Rock Spring
and Sowell's mill, and is owned by the
widow Speed. A man named Samuel
Dalton, now of New Ruin, lived at the
place during the war, and it was only
visited by Confederate soldier, whose
very name struck terror to the heart of
the Federal garrison at Columbia. The
house and farm are in the middle of a
dense cedar thicket, bnt not single road
leads to it from the main road, which
goes around the thicket.
MRS. THos. s. LErrwIcH, in the CO.
dars, has only one goose, but 1t is re-
msrkable one Some time since it layed
an egg every day for three days in sue
cessiOn, and on the fourth day layed
three eggs.
GEO. =. WHITTAKER, of Ro ok Spring
is evidently "flshist." He went ang-
ling last week and caught thirty-five or
forty pounds of trout.
SEVERAL years ago one of Mr. Iainey's
pear trees, the finest in the orchard, died
in the summer time. The leaves all
withered and died, and the bark became
sapless. He dug all the dirt from the
roots for several yard. around, and then
scraped them. New life was infused
into the corpse OF the tree, and the next
summer Mr.. Rainey scraped away the
dirt for several yards around, and cow
cred the roots with stable manure. The
tree is now bearing splendidly.
The largest trout ever caught in Duck
River, to our knowledge, was taken at
Sowell's Mill, :,and weighed II pounds.
Mr.. Black Thompson, of thi. city, cap
tured a nine FOUNDER ut the old Horsley
milldam before the war; and the largest
trout of the present season was aught
by Abraham Looney, Jr., at the Big
Wheel.
SEVERAL weeks ago We gave All ac-
count of Andy Huey's raft being stove
on an island down the river. Andy af
forwards went down, and after several
days work got the raft rebuilt and in
floating condition. 1t ran against a
fish-trap, however, which tore il all TO !
pieces again, and Andy got discouraged |
and sold it for fifteen dollars.
THE Old Baptists have had revival at |
Nv hite Spring, under the preaching of
Rev. Solomon Williams, colored.
A portion of the people of Bear Creek
have had much trouble for The want of |
mill near at home, as their creek is too |
small to have one on it. They now can
go to the newly fitted up mills on Ruth-
erford Creek, owned by Messrs. J. l..

young men from Giles
SHERIFF LATTA and one of his depu-
les, MIR. Harris, broke into colorcd

which was loaded with small bird shot,
