The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-08-26
On Tuesday last Mrs. Sarah My.

neighbours, appeared before his Honor,
Esquire Mcclure, and swore out a
warrant for the two latter named cats,
declaring the fear OF her life and her
property iGthey were permitted to run
longer at large without fret being cas-
tiga;ed by the. stern and unrelcntlng
hand OF Justice. AS is the custom in
such cases made and provided, his
Honor issued 4. warrant, and the OF
tenders against the peace and happi-
ness of the Myers ranch and the well
being and good order Of society, were
brought face to face with their accuser
BY the mild, meek, lowly and gentle
persuasion of constable Stewart, q re-
cent and good acquisition to the police
force OF Wood county. To have seen
the loving Eyes Of the accused and the
accuser meet would have afforded food
for first class sermon by missiona-
~ to the Feeiee Islanders, upon the
wonderful advantages which the civil
ization Of the nineteenth century
showers upon those who are its happy
recipients. How charmingly they eye
each other, as their little claws twitch
and clutch at the clouded dimity that
adorns their angelic forms; with what
graceful accents the dear little barba-
rians give each the mo SIGH thing"
with what TOMS of high consideration
and respect for each others feelings
each tells her little story ofthe wrongs
she has suffered from her neighbours
bull-calf, or COW, or heifer, or pigs, or
chicken; with what refreshing sim
plicity, love, and gentleness Of demean-
or, these darlings, but little lower
than the angels, cgle each other IS
they tell the story of their misunder'
standings to the ears Of gaping
crowd. File, fe, upon such people!
When will the world stop wranglipg,
and neighbors live At peace With their
fellows, unless they can find some
more virtuous cause for showing their
stupidity by an appeal TO the law than
is usually found in these Kilkenny cat
affairs. Let US pray heaven, brother
McGuire-we hope all we'll disposed
people will down on their bones with
us-to rain down grace upon these she
breeders of sinners, that the stock may
be unprecedented less mule and more
horse may prevail. But here, our read
ers, perhaps, would like little less Of
our lip and more OF the facts, WHICH
were about as follows, according to the
evidence: Sarah Myers swore out a
warrant as before mentioned, for Cat
tarina Nutter and Sarah Deems. Cat
tarina was first put upon trial. She
plead not guilty. Mrs. Myers being
put upon oath, swore that Cattarina
had said overt the fence that she would
lick her." she could do it easy, and
would do it the first opportunity
would kill her." Here the evidence OF
Mrs. Deems was given on behalf OF
Cattarina. She swore that her and
Sarah Myers were talking, and Mrs.
Myers throwed out some of her "sin
uationS" on Catlarina. and said that
Cattarina did not throw rocks nor
threaten 10 catch the Myers at the
spring and wampoodle her. His Hon
or thought it expedicnt to put Catta-
rina in harness, and she was conSe-
quently put under bonds to keep the
peace for one year in the sum OF fifty
dollars. y. Deems, Esq, L citizen
and freeholdsr OF Wood county, took
stock in Ca;tarina, and went on her
bail bond. Next for trial was Mrs.
Samantha Deems, who plead not
guilty. Mrs. Myers swOrc that the
prisoner had threatened to Kill her;
came to her fence and commenced
talk about he stoning Of their COW,
she picked up rock and threatened
the Myers with vengeance dire; said
she could get away with the Myers at
any time or place, and would do it..
Cattarina vas here called DIS a witness
for the belligerent Samantha, who
swore that Samantha never picked up
4 rock and threatened to walk of with
the Myers; said she did not hear her
threaten to Kill the II ~crs, nor did she
hear anything the Myers said. His
Honor, as in the case Of Cat:arina,
thought that the interests of society
would be better subServed by bridling
