The case OF Mary Hoecken VS.. Eugene
Amor, for 10000 damages, for libel and de-
famation of character, was concluded last
Thursday evening, the jury returning yer.
dict for the plaintiff, and assessing the dam
ages at e5,74441. It had been q long and
desperately contested case, and the defendant
and plaintiff were represented by the best le-
gal talent of the Southeast. The former had
Hon. M. L. Clardy, Judge Thomas, and four
other lawyers; the latter was represented by
T. McMulHn, Judge Carter, aud Hon. Sam.
Byrres. The defense had taken two changes
of venue-from jefferson to Washington, and
then to Iron. When the case came up here at
the October term last year, it was continued:
and at the late term the defense swore that
Judge Dining was prejudiced In favor Of the
plaintiff. Thereupou the bar elected Judge
Emerson to try the case. The final result,
obtained after many weary delays which law
yers know so we'll how to multiply and
prolon9, was greeted with satisfaction by all
our people who kept run of the trial and
the evidence, although all the parties to the
suit were strangers to them.

In addition to the washout on the railroad
near Bismarck, there were several others
which, aside from loss of human life, were
much more serious About half mile this
side OF Dents station, the track was washed
away, and gully formed ninety feet long
and twenty feet deep. Rocks weighing over
. ton were torn out Of the roadbed and car
RED seventy feet away. Something like .
water-spout must have spent its force there,
Tor the damage was all done within the space
OF half an hour. There were two washouts
on the Belmont Branch between De Lassus
and Bismarck, delaying trains for nearly .
day. The breaks on both lines were mended
with marvellous rapidity, and Monday found
the trains moving on time, 90 that the
only general Inconvenience sustained was
that caused by the failure OF the Sunday
mails.

the heatof a tropical summer. The thermom-

Tuesday morning found us enjoying our own

from the former schedule was the addition of q

Mrs. Ann Henry King, wife of
Mr.. Lewis King, and daughter of
Maj II. III. Aymett, died on the
23d inst, after n protracted illness,
with Inflammation of the stomach
and bowels, aged 81 years. She
was an amiable and virtuous wo-
man--one of those admirable char
acters whose traits shine the bright
est at the hearthstono and in the
charmed circle of domestic life.
Her illness was a long one, aud her
suiTerings ae times were acute, but
she bore them all with becoming
fortitude and when death approach
ed she answered the summons with
christian resignation. At the time
of her demise her husband was ~
ing dangerously Ill with typhoid
fever, and she was thus denied his
fond and aaectionate ministrations.
Her mother, too. was Frustrated by
a painful and serious illness, which
was greatly aggravated by her be-
loved daughters condition. These
manifold Affections, which have
sorely taxed Maj AymetCs forth
tude, awaken in behalf of himself
and family the heartfelt sympathy
of the people Of the entire county.

MinnOW Ford,

The dry weather of last week
and week before gave our farming
people good opportunity to finish
blowing their corn. We heard
several farmers remark that it was
the best time for killing weeds
they ever knew. But the contin-
ued dryness causes some Of them
to murmur. The probability Of a
drouth succeeding a very short
wheat crop, was anything but
pleasant, but a good shower Sun
day night revived the drooplng
vegetation and restored the equi-
librium of our minds.
Several of our neighbors, and
neigh bors' children, have been gor
mandizing blackberries and rare
ripe apples, and paying tribute to
cholera morbus and doctors stuff,
