The special equity and criminal term Of
the Garrard Circuit Court convened here
on Monday, and is in progress at this wri-
ting No cases Of importance thus far. The
case of VIM. Mccoy, for the alleged killing
Of one Soard, some months ago, was, in the
absence OF some important witnesses, con-
tinued over till the next term Of February
court. This was done in compliance with
the prisoners request, and he was remand
ed back to the cherries quarters where he
has already spent weeks in solitude
The weather has been rather variable du-
ring the past week. A few cold breaths
from the snow-storm in the East lowered
our temperature perceptibly, while the
much pray ed-for rain came steadily down,
and sufhced to keep alive the withered
leaves Of vegetation, II not the parched
roots. To-day the sun again shines forth
with an intensity that makes the newly
'ionned wraps oppressive.
Autumn-leaves cluster about the few
lonely looking apples that nestle in the
grass, and tell their own sad story Of the
melancholy days" OF blasted hopes and
blighted plans scattered and gone, like the
crisp foliage that can nevermore re-nnite
with the life-giving boughs.
On Saturday morning at o o'clock DIR.
II. G. Herring amputated the crushed limb
Of Mr.. Rob't Beazley that has, for eleven
weeks, been an object Of regular medical
attention. 1t may be remembered that at
the time oft accident the attending ply
stefan urged immediate amputation, the
wound being compound fracture Of the
ankle joint, with hot weather to retard
healthy action. The patient persistenIly
refused TO submit to the operation, and his
life has several times been despaired Of in
consequence. His consent was finally OBJ
tanned, and he was brought from Mrs. Al
mira Burnsides, where he has been lying
since the occurrence, to the Mason House,
where the wounded member was removed
at what is called the middle third Of the
leg, or Just below the knee DIS. Hill,
Bush and FraEee were in attendance, and
the operation was quickly and successfully
performed The patient rallied from the
chloroform with no drawbacks. and is do
ing we'll now without the aid Of narcotics.
The only unfavorable consideration in the
case is the reduced constitution Of the pa
tent, which may render him too feeble TO
sustain the shock. The crushed ankle was
dissected, and revealed condition that
fully authorized is removal.
The officers Of the Christian church have
secured the services Of Elder Gibson for the
ensuing year. Mr. Gibson is a graduate Of
the Bible College at Kentucky University,
and is highly recommended by Elder Nc
Gsrysy, and other Professors. The ladies
Of the church have presented 10 Elder j.
L. Allen in token Of aleetionate regard, a
handsome yelours easy chair, in which he
is invited to repose his frame, wearied by
the duties Of the school-room, and think
kindly Of his pleasant pastoral communion
with his Lancaster iock.
Some Of the incurable devotses Of good
Sir IEaak Walton still persist In excursions
to the river
The Richmond people are contemplating
a Sunday excursion train to hear the far
famed Barnes. Some Of our citizens have
gone 10 Stanford to remain, in order 10 par
tieipAis as much as possible in the goOi
work.
