ry Mount, shorn of their Objectionable
features, might have been permanently
domesticated i'll New England, to soften
and refine the hard and sombre Puritan
character. But the revelry of England
was too fresh in their memories for them
to countenance it under the shadow of
New England pines, and the second Amer
lean Christmast closed in, as did the first

above, and as dreary as the outlook to the

1hc American Christmas.

We may view the festival in its poetical
or picturesque aspect and i'll its social as

an American Christmas is bit of poetry

For all these reasons, Christmas has IL

America. Take the case Of a family in

LABOUCHERE.LA
The Visit of the Former TO Richmo ontl
Explained.

The significance of Mrs. Labouchere's vis-
1t to Richmond is explained in the following
despatch from Richmond, Va. December @,
suit for divorce was begun in the Chancciy
Court of the city of Richmond, the plaintiff
being Mrs. Henrietta Pigeon, through G. j..
Darlington, her next friend, the defendant
being Richard Pigeon AT the time the pa
pcls were filed they attracted no particular
attention, except that it was joculally re-
marked that seven lawyers were put down as
counsel ior one woman, though TO speak cor
roctly there were only two law firms, viz !:
Dunning, Ldsall, Hart ~ Fowler of New
York and Carrinston, Davies & Hooper of
Richmond, In due course the usual puhl-
cation was made requiring Pigeon, a non-res-
ident to appear and do what he regarded as
necessary TO defend his interests.
Since the suit was instituted newspaper
publications have brought into pubic notice
the fact that Mrs. Labouchcrc was before
she became the recognized wife of Mr. La
bouchere, Mrs Pigeon. On the night of
December 4, and in accordance with cor.
rcspondcnce that had previously taken place
with The Richmond attorneys, Mrs. Pigeon
arrived here. She was accompanied by her
maid, and by Mr.. Fowler, of her counsel,
and by young Mr. Dunnng, son of the law
yer. December 6 she made affidavit before
MIR. Hooper, stating that July O. 1864, in ST.
Georges church, Hanover square, London,
she was married to Richard Pigeon; that she
has ever been "A true and faithful wife to the
Aforesaid Pigeon, but that more than five
years ago he deserted her; that son was
born Of the marriage and has now nearly ar
rived at the years when he can earn his
own living and assist in the support of his
mother; that TO prevent Pigeon, aforesaid,
from stepping in and interfering with th
son and for other reasons, a divorce is pray
ed. Mrs. Pigeon further alleged that she had
lived for several years in the United States,
and now finds herself a resident of this city ;
that is to say, Richmond, Va. To all OF
which she mGie oath IN the regular form re-
quired by law. The gentlemen in Richmond
who were employed as counsel for her by the
New York firm had no reason to suppose
that they were dealing with other than
plain Mrs. Pigeon. They received assurances
rom her that she was a bona fde resident o,
the State. She said that though she would
be compelled to return North Immediately,
which she did, she would return here again

Homicide in Claiborne County

cambridge Times: From Hon. J. L.
Rogers, who returned from Circuit Court at
Tazewell last Sunday, we learn the particu
lars of killing which occurred at that
place on the Sd inst. j. M. Smith, a con-
stable, and G. Osborne, were engaged in a
difficulty, Osborne having previously threat
ened Smiths life, when Smith drew a pis-
toll, and in drawing, it was accidentally dis
charged, and took effect in the bowels of
man by the name of VIM. Dean who was
standing by. Dean fell, and an officer took
charge of Smith, and he was held in Gus
tody to await the action of the grand jury
then in session. Dean lived until Wednes-
day morning, when he died. The grand
jury reported bill against Smith and on
last Saturday he had hearing before Judge
Rose on application for bail, which was
granted and his bond fixed at SIS, 900, which
was promptly given. Mr.. Rogers appears
for the defense. Dean lately moved into
Claiborne County from Virginia, and mar
ried Miss Cole some months ago.

Attention, Grain Dealers!

Realizing that the wheat crop of East
Tennessee is the largest that we have had
for several years, Coffin, Mckinney & Co.
have laid in a large supply of bags for the
use of grain shippers. These bags were
bought low, before the rise in the price,
consequent upon the large wheat crop took
place-and they are offered lower than the
same article can be sold by any one in the
trade. Those who need grain sacks will
find it to their interest to call and examine
their stock and prices.

Last week Geo. T. Parker. of Ooltewah,
prayed an injunction to restrain the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
from building the Ooltewah aud Red Clay
extension through his property, alleging
that the company were going through with
out purchase or condemnation, and asking
that the work be stopped until proceedings
be begun to legally obtain the right of-way.
The railroad company, through its attor-
neys, Van Dyke & Cooke and VIM Baxter,
Esq, moved to dissolve the injunction on
the. plea that the matter was not within the
jurisdiction of the court. Yesterday the
Chancellor rendered his decision, holding
that he had jurisdiction in the case, and re-
fusing to dissolve the injunction Lewis
