Circuit Court has just adjourned and a
large amount of business was transacted at
this term of the court. Several important
suits were decided. Among them was the
suit of John II. Toomey and w. Il. Nichols
about the division of some land, and it was
decided in favor of Nichols but Toomey
took an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The case of Duggan d Bogart was laid
over and two cases against w. ii. ii. Dug
gan for misdemeanor in office as County
Court Clerk, were also laid over.
This week has been cloudy and a good
deal the appearance of rain, but III the
neighborhood of Sevierville we have had
but little. Corn crops look tolerably well.
Wheat and oats are good. Meadows are
hardly an average crop-fruit plenty.

in prosperous condition. The time of

WoMAN's MARKMANsHIP.-
A writer thus happily alludes to
remarkable popularity of the
down-trodden sex:
Did you ever see a woman
throw 4 stone at a hen? 1t is
one ofthe most Iudicrous scenes
in everyday life. We.recently
observed the process-indeed
We paid more attention than the
hen did, for she didn't mind it
at all, and laid an egg the next
day as if nothing had happened.
In fact, that hen will now learn
for the first time that she served
in the capacity of target.
The predatory fowl had inva-
ded the sacred precincts Of
the flower bed, and was in
dustriously pecking and scratch
ing for the nutritious seed ard
the early worm, ,blissfully uncon-
scious of impending danger
The lady now appears upon TIE
scene with a broom. This size
drops, and picks up a rocky
fragment Of the SiIurian age
',they aldo it, y "-seizingthe pro-
jectile with the wrong hand.
Then, with malice aforethought,
she makes the further blunder
of swinging her arm perptndic-
ularly instead of horizontally
whereupon the stone flies into
the air, describing an irregular
elliptical curve and strikes the
surface of the earth about as far
from the hen as the thrower
stood at the time, and in a
course due west from the same,
the hen, then bearing by COM
pass n. n. E. by E. half cast
At the second attempt the stone
narrowly misses the head Of the
thrower herself, who seeing
that any further attempt of the
kind might have been suicidal,
does what she might have done
at first-starts after the hen
with an old family weapon.-
The moral Of which is ''stick
to the brOom-stick." s-li

Highway Robbery.
A Footpad in spite of Himself.


A FOotpad in Spite of Himself.
This is not a bad story from
the CORRESPONDENT OF The Buffalo
Courier
Brooklyn is pretty we'll over
Its scare about highway robbers,
but not quite. "A pretty good
story is told about a robbery late
ly committed there. A gentle
man named Smith (of course) was
making his way homeward at a
late hour and met another man in
a rather lonely place. Smith had
heard much about highway rob,
bers and was armed. Owing to
obstacles on the sidewalk he was
obliged TO come close to the other
man when passing. The two men
seemed anxious to avoid each 9TH
er, but the obstacles on the side
walk prevented that. When
they had passed, Smith bethought
him of his watch. He felt for it,
but his pocket was empty. "That
rascal has taken my watch" said
Smith. Then he resolved to act.
Drawing Lis revolver, he started
after the other man and quickly
overlook him.
'Give me that watch this instant,
you scoundrel, or I'll blow your
brains OUT said Smith, leveling
his revolver at the stranger.
The stranger looked at Smiths
revolver, shuddered, put bis hand
on his pocket and held out watch,
which Smith took, then ran off at
full speed. Smith congratulated
himself on his bravery and started
for home, where his wife was wait
ing for him. OF course, he had a
startling story to tell, how one of
those internal scoundrels robbed
him, and how he scared the scoun-
drel almost out of his wits and
made him give back hls watch.
"Your watch I" said Mrs S.
eyes, my watch but made
the rascal hand it over pretty
quick"
Then, Mrs. S. astonished him.
"Why," said she "here is your
watch you did not take it with
you. Smith, you fool, you have
been turning highway robber your
self Some of Smiths friends
have found out how he was robbed
and are bantering him most un-
mercifully.

A Four-Legged Shepherd

TO the sheep pasture and again
returned and whinned as before.
Again he went back to the sheep
pasture, and again swiftly returned
As be had twice failed to make bis
master understand his meaning,
he went to the farm house, put
his head in at the open window
and whinnied again. The farm
ers vile being sure there was
trouble in the pasture, followed
the horse. He seemed pleased
that be had attracted attention at
last, and trotting on before the la

ture and putting his head over the
fence, seemed to say {: "Look,

One of the most noted mem

Washington with a high reputa-
ton as an eloquent advocate
and a rising lawyer. He was a
fine scholar of elegant culture,
lively imagination, and good To-
gical powers. He spoke with
fiuency and animation, and al
ways commanded the attention
of the House. But bis habits
were erratic, and he was absent
from the Capitol nearly halt the
time. There was an old family
feud between Mr.. Clay and the
Marshalls, and the Representa-
tive from Louisville partook of
the animosity of his relative,
who had met Mr.. Clay in single
combat. Marshall was decided
ly opposed to the Bank bill which
the President had vetoed, and in
a conversation on the Avenue
attacked it in strain of a"gu-
ment and ridicule ofthe most eff
fective character.

Original Method Of Steal
ing.


IA young fellow named Mitchell
caught in Louisville attempting
to rob ahouse, was recognized as
a notorious thief, who three years
ago carried ON a novel method of
robbery He raised a pet coon
and so trained the animal that
whenever its master would put it
down on the ground 1t would run
.immediately lyinto the nearest house.
Mitchell would take bis scoon about
the street in his arms, ostensibIy
for the purpose of showing it off,
and when In front of a residence
that be wished to enter he would
lee the coon down. In an instant
the ell-train.d animal would
scamper towards the house, and
its master would follow in pursuit.
II there happened to be an OPEN
ing anywhere about the building
the coon was sure to find it and
enter the house at once. Of
course the people of the house
would allow the master to come
in after his pet, and while the
family and servants were lending
a helping hand to effect the cap
ture of the run away, Mitchell
would busy himself with every
opportunity by picking up little
things here and there in rooms in
which they passed after the slip
perry little beast. Mitchell kept
up this smart little game quite
succesSfully.for some time, but was
finally caught and sent to the
penitentiary. .sa -ai.. -s5l
