The Horse Thief Caught.

From Knoxville Daily Chronicle, Dee. IL.
On the 9th of November, Mr.. Jas.
Byerly, who lives near McMillan's
Station, had horse stolen, and adj
vertised the same, giving description
of the horse. The horse was taken and
sold at the works of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad, near Scott county.
Mr.. NJ. Brain who saw the horse there
and knew the parties who sold it, and
being satisfied from the advertisement
as to the proper owner of the animal
made affidavit before +. L. bIcNew, a
Justice in Campbell county, who issued
a warrant for the arrest of Silas Smith
and George Brooks, the parties charg-
ed with the theft. Brooks could not
he found, and Smith was known to be
in this city.
Mr.. Brain arrived in the city on
Wednesday, and procured the assist
ance of Policeman Mason, when they
proceeded to his residence, but found
him absent. Brain renamed at the
residence to keep a lookout for Smith,
while Mason took search through
the city, and finally came up with
him on one of the streets. He was
taken to the district where the theft
was committed to be tried before q
Justice, but on reflection it was
thought best to return the warrant be-
fore Justice Jourolmon. They re-
turned to the city, and yesterday he
was brought before the Justice, but for
the want Of important witnesses on
both sides, the case was continued I'M
ill next Tuesday. The defendant
claims that he bought the horse from
Geo. Brooks, the man who can not Ice

a Lady Thrown from her Horse.

On last Wednesday night, as Miss
Mac Newman, daughter of Samuel J.
Newman, of Messy Creek, was re-
turning from the NJ. f.. Church South,
where she had been attending a pro
tracted meeting which had been in
progress for several days, buggy sud
denly ran up behind her horse, the
tongue of which came in contact with
the legs of the animal, so Frightening
him, that he became unmanageable
and threw her Off upon the hard dirt
road. Miss Newman was able, after
being assisted to her feet, to get into a
buggy and ride home, but immedi-
ately took her bed, and has not since
been able to leave it. For two or
three days she was not able to even
move herself in bed, her spinal col
umn and lower eXtremities being to
some extent paralyzed.
The attending physician thinks,
however, that the spinal column is
not seriously injured. Market

SWEARING A WrrNEss.-A man, who
evidently had never before been sworn
in Court of Justice, was called to the
witness stand in the Circuit Court on
Saturday last, and being told to hold up
his hand preparatory to receiving the
oath, he placed himself in an attitude
authorized by some Of the secret socie-
ties in our midst, and would have gone
through the whole category Of signs-as
far. at least. as he knew anything about
them-had not the Judge arrested his
attention and instructed him how to
hold up his hand and receive the oath
in question. The mans motions Gre
ated considerable amusement among the
attorneys and bystanders, but to those
who understood their meaning the man 3
actions inspired disgust, since he did
not possess sufficient stamina to be en-.
trusted with . secret. Portland Meas.

The RENroN CoAL.- Mr.. Wilson. the
foundry man. informs us that he has
i1isd some Of tho eoe2 from Tie nav
mine bslonetne 10 the Reptol Coal
Company, in his blast furnace. and he
has no hesitation in pronouncing Il tho
best quality Of coal for steam or smelt-
ing purposes which he has found apon
this coast. 1t burns freely and evenly,
leaving no clinck and less than the or
dinary amount Of ashes. Mr.. Wilson
is an old expert in the.use of coal. hav-
ing had much experienceboth IN Europe
and America, and his disinterested testi-
mony is of value in establishing the
characte, Of this coal. when it is consid-
cred that the specimen which he had to
test was but the surface or out-cropping
of the vein, which always improves in
quality as the center is approached.
In addition to quality. this mine has
the advantages of quantity. accessibility
and availability. over all others with
which it can come in competition. 1t is
literally mountain Of coal, which may
be quarried from the face above the
water, loaded Immediately upon cars
and by a tramway run upon barges to
he towsd to the harbor by steam tugs
and transferred on ship board or to the
docks, without breaking bulk from the
time it leaves the mines till the cars are
emptied into the hold of a ship or upon
the wharf. There is no expense for
pumping or draining the mine, for hoist
ing the coal from underground pits, or
for re-hnndling the coal between the
mine and the shipping point. which is
saving of half the ordinary expense of
mining and shipping coal to its first
market. A railroad connection between
the mine and the port would economise
the expenses still more. Then this
mine would pay an enormous profit if a
ready sale could BE- guaranteed for all it
could produce, at one half the present
prices. Such reduction of price would
more than double the consumption; so
those who take stock in the Company
are not only guaranteed their own coal
at half the present rates, but have a
reasonable assurance of good dividends
upon their investment besides.

nearly nineteen square miles. stands up-
ON the public records as the corporate
property OF the "Tacoma Land Com
pany," of which Theodore H0smer is
the Resident Agent" This Land Com

Union Pacific, is organized under q
charter procured from the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, TO speculate upon the
resources of the Railroad Company. It
was an expedient of Jay Cooke, and the
temporary location of the terminus at
Tacoma was consented to by the Railroad
authorities to save their Fiscal Agent
from impending bankruptcy. by the sale
in Eastern cities of the wildcat stock of
the "Tacoma Land Company" This
questionable expedient to "raise the

and consented to BY the Railroad Board

That the Directors Of the Railroad

conclusive circumstances of the case.
Every examination made by experts un-

the Government surveys and maps; all
the observations and reports OF naval

Mr. Hunt, British Consul at Bordeaux, making
recently his first repcrt states TINT the value OF
tho wine brandy. and liquors shipped from Bor-
deau1, in 1879, is estimated at about E7 900 000
being half the shipment from the whole Of
France. He say5 that % per cent OF the Bor-
deau1 wine shipped from france in 1872 went to
British ports, and that every years returns show
that the taste for red Bordeaux wine is extend
ing among the less wealthy classes in England
st q greater rate even than in other European
countries where it has long been 9 common
tab1e-bererage. The shipments Of 1873 have
included the fine vintage Of 1868.
OF which goyeral good kinds bottled
in . 1871 ara lit for use, though
the flrstclass wines, priced for their Is bouquet,
must still ba kept for ripening- The wines Of
1869 are OF inferior quality, but those OF 1870
are very fine, and even the lower kinds are soft,
sound, and agreeable. They are nearly or quite
ready for shipment, and the higher kinds already
show a great deal Of s'bouquet." Tho Consul
observes, also, that England Is beginning to get
rid Of tho reproach that ahe does not appreciate
the delicious and aromatic white wines Of Bor-
deaux. Up to 1868, the quantity Slipped to
England from Bordeaux might be stated Us nil,
but now it is littlo over per cent Ct the total
shipment to England. The proportion pro-
ducod is about per cent Of the whole wine pro-
duction of the department. The vintage OF
1861 now fit for use. was excellent. The yearB
1864 and 1865 we're both good years, and their
wines rank high. Tho wine OF the very fine
vintage Of 1861 is hardly to be had.
