INFANr1cIpE--A MOTHER ABANDONs
HER INFANT CHtLD-IT DIES FROM Meg
LECT.-T.ast "Wednesday morning, the asth
ult., Miss Mamie Crone, a young woman.
employed as domestic in the family OF J.
K. East, Esq. In the northwestern part OF
this county, vent to the wash house on the
premises, and locking into an odd barrel,
found dead infant. Sire Immediately made
known her discovery, Justice D. N. Van
I.ear was notified. and a Corener'sjury coin
posed Of the following gentlemen was sum
moned: II. B. McFail, ". H. Gamble.
George Speck, A. +. Echard, Benjamin Err
win and jefferson Virgin.
The evidence c,iclted before the jury was
that the CHILD had been born week before;
that Its mother was Sarah Jane Crone,
young white girl Of nineteen years, who
some three months previous had been en-
ployed by Mr.. East. She testified that OIL
the 22d OF February she had given birth to
the infant; tnat it was born dead and that she
had covered it with piece Of carpet. She
had then gone TO the house. and had since
that time been confined to her room.
Dr.,A. G.. L. Vanf.ear, made an eSamin-
alton Of the body and stated that the lungs
had been expanded by air, and that there
fore the infant ha;! breathed. He was not able
to say how long It had lived-probably not
more than two minutes. He had found 6 de-
preston, in the side Of the head which was
sufficient to cause death. 1t may have been
made l,y blow Or fall. There were no other
Indications OF violence. The child was white

she being yet very weak, no steps were TAX
en- for her arrest. She is said to be quite
good looking, and before going to Mr.. East 3

COUNTY COURT---CRIMINAL CASES
The February term Of the County Court
was Of more than ordinary interest, anr
almost eacl. day the room was well filled.

20 draw large crowd, aud it Is upon occa-
ions like these that one realizes the amou, t
# curiosity that enters into the composition
Of mat. There was very perceptble dim
mutton Of The Attendance after the conclu-
sion Of the Wooddell case on Wednesday,

came with the cases Set for Saturday.
The first was that Of Thomas H. Poindex-
ter, charged with breaking into the store
room Of Mr.. G. s. Craig, near Craigsvlile, on the
oath Of F. br,lary last. The only witness was
Mr.. Craig himself. who testified that he had
caught the accused In his store room on the
night above mentioned, about 8 o'clock 1t
was Saturday night, and Mr.. Craig had left
his store, gone to church and upon returning,
found the door broken open, and the negro
inside. When appreliended, the boy made
no resistance, except trying to escape.
In palliatlou Of the offense, Mr.. Craig
.tated that 1t had been the custom Of the negro
10 come to his store at the end Of every week
aud get any merchandise ne wanted. II no
me was in the store 1t was his custom to rat
lie the door, and thus notify Mr.. Craig, who
lives above. The door was not securely Sas-
tened, and the boy claimed that he had gone
there with no intention OF committing any
offense, but as he was slightly under the in
fluencc OF mean whisk he had pushed
harder than usual, and having unexpected
ly gained an entrance, cupid!ty overcome
his mora! equilibrium. He had always borne
good characts r, and was a hard working
man. The prisoner was represented by NJ.
r. White, and Capt. Bungardner, appear
ell for the Commonwealth. The verdict of
the jury was mot guilty." and Mr.. Poin-
.lexter stepped forth free man.
The next case was that Of the Common
wealth against Andrew Jackson and John
Washington, charged with stealing pair Of
boots from Mr.. Adam Pannell, at Fishers
vile, on the night OF the 18th December. A
few days after the theft, the boots were
found In the possession Of Andrew jackson,
who stated that he had gotten them from
his fellow-citzen, Mr.. Washington. The
case was some What mixed up, and the
jury Strengthened it out by sending the gem
1lemen OF ancient and honorable names to
the county jail for two months, whereupon
heir COUNSEL, Mr.. II. St. G. Tucker, moved for
a new trial on the ground that the verdict
was net In accordance with the evidence,
which motion was sustained by the Court
rhe Commonwealth Attorney then enter
ed a soAe prosequi and John Washington
was discharged, whilst Andrew Jackson will
serve the sixty days in the chain gang.
