his already interesting weekly sheet

GoOD!-In the Supreme Court at
Knoxville, on Monday the 9th, in
the case of the Bank OF East Ten
nessee against Gen. Jos. A. Mabry,
administrator of Geo. w. Church
well, decea.ed, involving half a mil
lion dollars worth of property in
Tennessee, and probably two mil
lions in other States, final decision
was rendered in favor OF Gen. Ma
bry. There is another large suit
now pending in the Chancery Court
of Knox county, in which the main
question is the mental condition of
Colonel Churchwell, and III which it
is sought by his administrator to re-
cover a large amount of real estate,
valued at 100000, lying in and
about Knoxville, and which was sold
under a decree of the Chancery
Court more than ten years since.
Should this suit succeed, the bulk
of this fine estate will pass to the
heirs at law Of Col. Churchwell, only
two of whom survive, the estimable
wives of Gen. Mabry and Col. G. w.
Charlton.

GRAND PREPARATIONS FOR THE
HOLIDAYs.-We are in receipt of pos
tive information that our old friend
Peter Kern, whose Bakery and Con-
fectionery establishment at Knox
vile is so well known throughout
East Tennessee and Southwestern
Virginia, has in store one of the
largest stocks of goods ever offered
to the holiday trade, consisting of
all sorts of candies, fireworks, cakes,
crackers, canned goods, raisins,
oranges, cigars, etc, etc. This re-
liable house will sell to country mer-
chants, or others on terms as cheap
as the cheapest, either at wholesale
or retail. and its goods cannot be
surpassed by any house in the city.
All that Peter asks is for country
merchants and the public to call and
examine his goods before purchasing
elsewhere in the city.

A RIGHTEOUs JUDGNIENT.--Some
months ago, Mrs. Corley, Of Knox
Vile sued for divorce and alimony
on account of cruel and inhuman
treatment by her husband, and the
Chancellor granted a divorce from
bed and board. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, and on
Saturday that body reversed the de-
cree and dismissed the bill. Judge
Sneed, in delivering the opinion,
stood by the old landmarks and de-
elared that illegal cruelty was such
only as endangered life or health,
and occasional ebulitions of passion
even to the extent of violence, if
provoked by the other party would
not justify the court in the exercise
of the doubtful power of putting
asunder those whom God had joined
together. The opinion will have a
salutary influence, we hope, upon
those inferior courts which dispose of
the marriage tie as readily as chill
dren swap toys.

BODY FOUND-A MYsTERY.-The
dead body of a female, dressed in
very coarse apparel, was discovered
near the side of the main road lead
ing to North Carolina, in the vicin-
ity of the residence of John Huff,
Cooke county, on Wednesday last.
The body was discovered by ne
gro man Of the neighborhood who
was out hunting. A coroners jury
was summoned, but no facts were
elected to identify the body. When
discovered it was but partially COW

were no marks of violence upon it.,
and the deceased was Judged to be

ARREST OF A MURDEREE-Am man
by the name of Overcast, who for a
few weeks past has been hanging
around the still houses in the vicini-
tv of Grassy Fork, Cooke county,
without visible means of support,
was arrested on Thursday last, by
two men from Haywood county, n.
c., and taken in the direction OF
North Carolina. Our information IS
that about three months ago very
respectable and we'll to do gentle
man or western State visited York
Vile, S. c., for the purpose of buy
inc a farm. This fellow Overcast, a
trihing vagabond of that place, in
duced him to visit farm he report
ed himself as owning some miles in
the country and after getting his
victim to an unfrequented portion
Of the road, shot him through the
head, causing instant death. The
body of the victim was rifed of a
large sum Of money and then con-
cealed in the woods. Overcast took
the horse from the buggy, (Which he
tumbled into q sink hole in the woods
and covered as well as he could with
brush), and left the country passing
through Asheville west to Capt.
Alexander where he swapt his
horse for another, not so good. This
he rode to Pine Creek, in Haywood
county, where for some cause he
abandoned it, and travelled through
the woods to the neighborhood of
Wash Aliens. Here DR.. Peck rus
tied him up one morning in the
woods and was so we'll satisfied of
his being a scoundrel from his gen
eral department, and the account he
gave of himself, that his movements
were watched so closely as to in
duce him to leave that locality for
Grassy Fork, where he remained I'M
til arrested on Thursday. 1t is re-
ported that a reward of six hundred
dollars had been offered for his APP
prebension by the Yorkville authori-
ties.

INTERESTING INSURANCE CASE
The suit of Kennedy against the
Home and Hartford Fire Insurance
Companies, which has excited much
interest in Knoxville, and elsewhere
where the plaintiff is known, was
determined in the Supreme Court
on Saturday last on a re-hearing
granted at the last term. The court
unanimously agree in discharging
the Home from its policy because of
subsequent insurance effected by
Kennedy with the Hartford, without
notice to the Home. A majority of
the court were of opinion that the
decree of last term discharging the
Hartford on account of Kennedy's
d" fraud,' should be recalled and
reversed, and that the company
should pay to the assured the
amount of its policy, which was
$4,000. We congratulate our friend
Kennedy on the result of the suit
an illustration as it is Of the tar
diness of justice.

felt in real estate for the last few
days. An earth quake shook all of
the interior counties.
KNOXVILLE, Dec. 16.-The four
editors of our two daily papers are
jawing each other about the suppress
sion of interesting matter. The two
Ages think it poor Rule that won't
work both ways; and the poor Rules
think it will be glorious age when
there is no Ram. If the people are
capable of judging, all four of them
are innocent of publishing anything
interesting. Xix sticks, stuck.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Gu
bans have subsidized since reading the

they want to meet the Knoxville po-
lice.
