WASHINGTON, \. c., April II, 1874
+ Dear Enquirer -Southerner -
1 Court adjourned on Saturday last at
1880 A. NJ, very unusual hour, many
will no doubt say, but the reason was as
follows Mr.. L. Hyatt, of this place
brought an action against Jno. Myers Sons
to abate nuisance, i. c. to stop or cause
to be removed steam engine owned by
the defendants which case was set for
wednesday of the second week, owing to
! the great number of witnesses go or 70)
the case was not given to the jury until
noon on Friday and they failed to agree
| until the hour above mentioned During
| the first and third days trial some 25 or 80
| ladies were in the court room and were
seated on the bench on either side of the
judge, no doubt a very pleasant arrange
ment for him. We thought that we could
discover that certain of the Bar paid per-
haps more attention to some of the fair
ones than to the progress of the suit. No
doubt he had suit in progress more in
terestlng than the action then pending be-
fore the court,
A Wag says" SO the Express man has
1t, "that the verdict of the jury in case
above mentioned was thus:
" Put fifteen feet on that stack,
To make it that much higher,
TO prevent the sparks and cinders black,
From setting Hyatts house on fire."
The author is still living and is expected
to recover.
have seen paragraph in several papers
concerning child being found on the river
in coffin by Capt. Howard of the Str.
Cotton Plant. The report was without

ton to .day ahead of that. A physician
OF this town brought to town this morn
ing couple of bodies (colored) which
were born last night near this place, and
were connected similarly to the Siamese
Twins, the only difference that l saw from
cusual notice, was that these were fas-
tened by ligament, about as thick as my
hand and extending from about the centre
OF the breast to the middle of the abdomen

The lawyers have nearly all left town,
they went to Hyde County on the Str.
Olive on Saturday last.
A child was poisoned at Pantego, in
this county, on the 18th, inst, by eating

Pantego, village 26 miles below here
is going to temperanceiZe The blessings
OF mothers and sisters, sweethearts and
friends, will follow the originators of this
movement in this place for the good which
it has already accomplished.
An election for Town Commissioners is
to be held here in few days and already
the citizens of this and neighboring places
are arousing themselves and preparing for
the summers campaign. The fair held by
the ladies of the Episcopal Church on last
week was complete success, if l am cor
rectly informed, the receipts being about
$500.
The Register of Deeds informs me that
only five retail licenses have been granted to
liquor dealers for this county as yet. Last
year there were about 80.
w. L. Bilbro, late of your town, was
married on Thursday last by Elder A. La
than to Miss Hettie Tetterton, at the resi-
dence of z. Habourn.
We were out in the county last Saturday
and were pleased to see that the planters
were busily engaged in preparing to plant
spreading and hauling manure, blowing,
