Circuit Court.

The regular term of the Circuit Court
for Hamblen county opened Monday
last, with the Hon. James r. Randolph
upon the bench. We noticed in attend

Baxter, of Knoxville; Col j. NJ Meek,

H. CroZier, jr. Esqs., of Beams Station.
The criminal docket was first taken up,
and up to the time of our going to press,
quite number of small cases, misde-
meanors, were disposed of. There are
two important cases upon the criminal
docket, transferred to this county from
other counties. One, the case of the
State vs.. Berry, from Hawkins county,
murder; and the case of the State VS. 7
j. Bull, transferred from Granger, muir

appealed to the Supreme CouTt There
is probability that neither of these ca

Christmas

We care nothing for Christmas as be-
ing the birthday of our Savior, but as a
holiday in mid-winter, when the outside
world is cold and cherries, we love it.
This is the only day in the year that
brings joy and gladness to some fresides.
The belief, on the part Of many, that ex-
cess in dissipation is excusabIe, is great
evil +; but as day of relaxation, of gifts
to chiIdreA and friends, and of happy
family reunions, il is great blessing to
burdened, eareworn MORALS. The indi-
cations are that this win be the merriest
Christmas known for many years.
Twelve months ago the effects of the
then recent panic were felt and realized
in every home, stamping anxiety upon
the pateTnal countenance, and imparting
depressing influence to the wondering
little ones There was an air of restraint
and uncertainty on every side, which
robbed the happiest season of the Christ
mas year of much of its wonted freedom
and merriment. This year there is ev-
cry reason to believe that there will be
celebration by the old and young of the
sacred festival. We have a moderately
prosperous year, at least the country has
suffered from no financial shock, and
comparative confidence has succeeded
the restlessness which prevailed a year
ago. The little ones will come in for
their full share this season, and hand
somer and richer presents will be ex-
changed among adults. Business must
brighten up under the spur of the sea
son, and the bushes man who judicious-
Iy bids for patronage will merit and reap
the largest reward
We hope our patrons, each and all,
will have a merry Christmas-that every
household will be gladdened by gifts,
music, mirth and Joy.

NTorristown CIlurches.

No town has more substantial Church
es than ours, and no people dwell togeth-

this connection will not be out of place.
The manner of heating our Churches is
outrageous The stoves are near the
pulpit, and preachers and people in front
are scorched, while those in the back
part Of the house ere pinched with cold.
The churches ought to have furnaces.
This, and this only, viii insure good
