Row IN CoURT-The court house
crowd, says the Jackson (Tenn.) Whig
and Tribune, were thrown into great
excitement on Tuesday evening, by q
personal encounter between Messrs. R.
J Hays and Henry w. McCorry. They
were arguing question of continuance
before Esq. Person in the course of which
Mr. McCOrry rather strongly insinuated
that Mr.. Hays was jackass. whereupon
Hays struck McCorry on the head with
hickory stick, inficting a severe
wound. hcCOrry, although stunned by
the blow, rushed upon Hays and lively
skiFmish ensued, which would have end
ed seriously but for the interference Of
bystanders. In the midst of the melee
Mr.. Stokely Hays, son of r. j. Hays,
rushed in with a bludgeon, and without
the least eircumspection commenced to
lay about him with frightful promiscu-
business. He foored the court-Esq.
Person, crippled the right hand of Gen'l
Campbell, sent Mr.. John Stark and Mr.
| Alb Hurt to grass, and was about to
commence on the few remaining by
ISLANDERS when his murderous arm was
arrested by parties freshly arriving on
the spot The affair created intense ex>
element and at one time threatened
serious consequences. But happily for
all parties, after the heat of passion sub
sided, the difficulty was amieably and
honorablY adjusted.

Bald Mountain.

The excitement about the little sensa-
ton kicked up by the shaky condition
of Bald Mountain continues in the old
North State, and the " huckleberry
snatchers and tarrheelers" of that region
are not happy. A number of scientists
from several Southern States are there,
all Of whom agree that the disturbance
in Stone and Bald Mountains is volcan-
ic in nature, but as a professional ex'

views for publication, and will not sub-

of semitic men and reporters are going

they had anticipated The excitement
in the regions is undated and more

April %, 1874

This is the day fixed for the friends
and advocates of the Memphis and Knox
vile Railroad to meet in convention in
the city of Memphis, notwithstanding
the publications hitherto made that it
would come OF on the 18th 1t is now
agreed all along the line from Memphis
TO Knoxville that the 22d day of April
be the time for holding the convention.
Gentlemen who wish to aid in this great
enterprise-the NJ & K. Road-should
not hesitate to attend the convention.
We have neither time nor space to re-
count the many solid reasons why the
liveliest interest should be manifested
on this occasion, but trust that the in
telligence of our people will eOmpre-
bend at once the necessity of prompt
action. Go to the convention if you can.

A Marvellous Medium.

The London correspondent of the
Memphis Appeal says, in speaking of a
young lady medium, Miss Florence
Cooke: "Here was case for Pro-
fessors Crookes and Marley to test the
physical force question. Miss Cooke
very readily yielded herself for them to
experiment on the phenomena. l will
give their experiences as Professor
CroOkes gave them to me: He took Miss
Cooke first to his own house, that he
might be sure of all her surroundings.
He then improvised dark cabinet with
a curtain door. They placed the medi-
um inside and securely tied her. Pro-
fessOr Marley then placed a gold plate
on the inside of each wrist, to which was
| attached insulated wires leading out into
the room to a very sensitive electrOmeter.
They tried every molten of her hands
and arms and the placing of her arms
together to see the different forces of
electricity produced by the different posi-
| tions, Professor Crookes observing her
all the time, while Professor Varley had
| his eyes on the electrometer. After
thoroughly learning the effect produced
by each movement of hers, they placed
the curtain before her, leaving her in the
dark. Soon the figure calling herself
Katie made her appearance. the elec<
trometer not showing the least move.
ment. She said What do you want
me to do with all these wires ?" They
told her nothing-only to come into the
room and make such motions with her
hands and arms as her medium had
done Katie at once threw her hands
around in lively manner which did not
effect the currents of electricity in the
slightest degree. Then Katie asked
Professor CrOokes to bring a lighted
candle and hold it TO her face and see il
she locked like MISS Cooke. He tried it
and found she had fair complexion and
light hair, while Miss Cooke is quite
dark, with dark hair. Professor CIookei
says that as far human tests are con-
cerned, nothing could be more conclu'
sive than that here was genuine phenom
enon outside of the conscious aid of tht
medium. On the disappearance of Katie
into the cabinet they at once raised th'
curtain and found Miss Cooke in thu
same condition as when they shut her in,
only In an unconscious state OF trance
More than this, Mrs. Crookes says sht
undressed Miss Cooke after she cam,
out of hecabinet, and there was nothin,
about her that could by any possibilit!

Just So.

The Rookport Qndiana) Republican,
has its political eyes wide open. 1t
says:
Ex-President Andrew johnson and
Gov. John G. Brown are both aspiring
to succeed Brownlow in the United
States Senate from Tennessee. While
these two are fighting for the position,
Maynard will probably step in and de~
feat them both
The Union and american sees the
point and comments as follows:
That is the way the Republicans would
like to fix it up. We do not consider
the Senatorial succession of supreme i'm.
portance, and whatever comes of it, the
need for good local officers and good
Legislature is none the less urgent
True reform begins at home. Look to
Tennessee first. If We secure a good
Legislature for home affairs, we need
have no fears that our State will not be
we'll and properly represented in the
Federal Senate.

Destruction of a CalabOOse.

We clip the following from the Milan
Exchange:
Last Friday John Galbraith and -
Denn;son were arrested for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct and carried be-
fore his homer, Mayor Jordan, for trial
Galbraith was fined and remanded to the
oalaboose until he could find bail Dem
nison was very violent and noisy while
in the court room and was sent to the
lookup for contempt Between eight and
nine o'clock p. M, flames were seen is
suing fr0m the prison and screams were
heard within. The alarm was raised
and efforts made to break open the doors,
without avail Just as the prisoners
were almost suffocated with smoke, Mr..
Mcdonald, city marshal, made his APP
peRrance and released them.
From what we can gather, they set FIRE
10 the building, expecting to burn hole
through the wall, so they could make
their escape. Galbraith Gays DennisOn
did the work, and be tried to extinguish
the FIRE, but failed. Turpentine was
poured on the wall and a match touched
to it
Saturday they had a trial before Esq.
Dickinson, on the charge Of arson, and
remanded for trial at the Circuit Court
in bond of 81 900 each. Galbraith
gave bond and DennisOn went to prison.

The farmers are spreading themselves
In their efforts to bring about a change
in the old system that has well nigh
ruined them. They have planted wheat,
oats. grass, and are planting more corn
than they have since the war. This is
good sense, and if they will buy as little
as possible during the year, the end of
it will find prosperity in the country
once more.-HOl1y Springs Reporter.
