Huntsville, Dec. 2.-Court convened on
Monday, Judge b. X. Young presiding. The
most important and exciting case Oh the
criminal docket was one preferred by twtnty-
.trc-cent man against a ,ftteen-c cent fellow
for the larceny of 8 t,penty.nue- Jack
KNIFE. There was considerable talent displayed
on both sides of this remarkable case the
prosecution being conducted by Attorney
General Mitchell and $. E. Young, Esq, the
latter making the closing speech in an able
and effective manner. The prisoner was
defended by the well-known lawyers. Colonel
Henderson and MIR. Waddell, but Sam f..
Young succeeded in carrying the jury and
convlctng the prisoner.
The next case in the same docket was
brought by a man of sixty against boy of
twelve for assault and battery.
The most amusing case, however. was in
the civil docket, and vas styled the Mule
Case shall give you the substance of it,
as follows; The mule was sold by one neshbor
to another and warranted sound in wind and
limb, but when the purchaser had the histof
ical animal only few days he dscerned that
his "ears dropped, and he naturally concluded
the beast was sick the dropping of mules
ears is an infallible sign Of trouble within
the animals stomach or in his heels), so he
proceeded to doctor" him. The first dose was

lowed by quantity of lard. This .reatmen,
not having the desired effect, they tried the
efficacy of whisky and buckeye but inasmuch
as he tho mule) was strong temperance
animal, and, 1t is said. very narrow minded
and spitetul on the subject, his stomach
revolted against the "yie stuff" Coal OF
was next tried and finally bottle of St
Jacobs Oil and last of all the mule died ant
was buried, and the case carried into cour
of law.
Colonel Henderson and Mr.. Nelson, a risins
young lawyer of Knoxville, were for com.
plainant. and Messrs. Templcton and Youn,
for defendant. The trial lasted nearly tw,
days; Henderson and Nelson arguing that tn,
opposite parties killed the mule by the cours
of medical treatment they had adopted, Will
lempleton and Young contended that if it ba'
not been for this wise and skillful treatment
the worthy animal would have died lonl
before. Dr. Brasfeld was examined as al
expert to prove that blue-stone was the caus
of his woes and suffering, but while lie coul

Mr. Killebrew, the late Commissioner for
Mines, ETC., for Tennessee, says "Ihe guam
tlty of coal which the Coal Measures of the
State will supply has been estimated equal to
a block one hundred miles long, fifty-one miles
wide, and eight feet thick. Assuming that q
ton is equivalent to one cubic yard we have,
within the boundaries of the coal fields of
Tennessee, AZ, Ut, 100000 tons; and this is
not an over estimate. If this were made into
solid bar one hundred yards wide AMI thirty
feet thick, it would pass through the earth at
