The JOReSbOrO Herald and Tribune states
that suit of Waddill against Crawford,
which has been pending in the Cir uit
Court for Washington county for the last
five years, was tried at the present term of
the court. The history of this suit, con-
nected as it was with another, between
Crawford and Hale, is rather a strange one.
Mr.. Crawford had a bay mare taken from
him during or about the close of the war,
which was raised by ESQUIRE Carson, of this
county. In 1869, believing he had found
his property in the possession Of Mr.. Hale,
of jefferson county, he replevined her; he
had the mare but short time when Mr.
Waddill replevined her from him. Still
Mr.. Hale was not willing to relinqUish his
claim TO the animal and contested the case
with Mr.. Crawford in our courts and OBJ
tanned a judgment against him for the
mare. Mr.. Waddill also had his suit in
court against Mr. Crawford and cOntended
that tha mare belonged to him. The case
has been determined, and Waddill gained
the property ana also recovered a judgment
against Mr.. Crawford for S25 for the use of
the mare while he lad her in possess ion.
What is most strange in the case is that
both Hale and Waddiil have recovered
judgments against Crawford for the same
mare. All three Of the parties furnished
almost positive evidence that each was the
rightful owner of the animal. Crawford
has appealed to the Supreme Court.

From the KnO1riIle Chronicle We OBJ
tain the following particulars Of the col
lision of two freight trains on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
near Carter's depot ON Saturday: 1t seems,
from T. statements Of the officers of the
road, that the accident is the result OF a
mistaken calculation of time on the part OF
the conductor Of one of the trains, probably
the western-bound train, and was not the
fault of the engineers The trains should
have passed az johnson, where they break
fast, but the westward-bOund train was
late. The eastward-bOGnd train, COnduc-
tor DoOley, waited forty minutes, accord
ing to the printed rules. The supposition
now is, that the westward-bound train ran
on wrong time, and that the trains met
three miles east of Carter's. The two mel
killed on engine 46 were not employees oi
the road. How they came on the engine
is not known, or whether they were riding
on the cab or on the tender. Grouse wa:
a fireman on the road some years ago
Both engines We're badly wrecked.

RRurAL JOKE on A BRIDEGROOM.

That was brutal trick played by the
envious young men Of Olean, Cattaraugus
county, New York, upon a bridegroom
elect. he came from Cortland county to
marry the belle of Olean. The youth Of
the latter town, not liking the preference
shown by the lady for a stran-
ger, conspired to prevent tie mar
rage. The train by which he expected
TO arrive was three hours behind
time, and he telegraphed to the parents OF
the bride to postpone the ceremony for three
hours. The young men Of Olean waited for
him with pretended guard Of honor, gave
him drugged liquor, and, when he was
sufficiently besotted to suit them, handed
him over to his expectant bride. He was, ,.of
course, kicked out ofthe house. The Olean-
iers thereupon tarred and feathered him,
and rode him upon the traditional rail.
When he recovered from the effects Of the
drug and explained matters satisfactorily,
the marriage took place. The citizens OF
the place were highly incensed at the con-
spiraey, but the action Offhe eligible young
men of Olean furnishes an excellent ex-
planation why the bellies Ofthe town prefer
to select husbands from other places.

IT is surprising to see how readily
men who ought to know better, fall in
to the Radical trap and use the word
nation" instead of Federal Govern
ment" This mistake has a tendency
to reconcile, by habit, the people to the
contemplation of the Government as
centralized, rather than as a fedcrative
Union of sovereign States. The ag-
gregation implied by the term "Coun-
try" is definite enough, without en-
dorsing the theory of the Radicals
by calling it nation, when it is not
yet kingdom, but republic in all its
forms.-CLqrksriNe Chronicle.
