Nov. 18th has the following in re-
lation to new coal mining enter
prise lately inaugurated in thatcity,
of which Judge Chas. g. Smith, Of

Judge Smith informs us that the

the very finest quality-...of the IA
NOUS Kentucky coal:
A corporation was organized in

aCrabtree Coal Mining Company"
After filing their articles of incorpo-

valuable tract of coal land about ten
miles west of Nortonville, on the
Chesapeake Ohio & Southwestern
Railroad, and will, in few weeks,
go to work with a large force to
mining coal for shipment. We also

crI71InnI Court.

In this court last week, Manton
Hatcher charged with the murder
of Geo. Luter, at .Cherry's Station,
about year ago, was acquitted.
The case of the State VS.. w. J.
Phillips, for the killing of Nick
Heathman, at the toll gate on the
Port Royal pike, last winter, with
the facts of which all of our readers
are familiar, has occupied the atten-
ton of the court during the week.
A. motion for change of venue, on
account of alleged undue prejudice
against defendant and the Turnpike
company in the county, was made
by defendants counsel, and after
argument, overruled by the court.
There were great many witnesses
examined on both sides and the
case has occupied the whole week
and excited great interest. Almost
the entire bar is employed on one
side or the other. The case will, in
all probability, 60 to the jury to-
day.

The lives OF. the Heather Chinee,
In this country, are cast in any
thing but pleasant places; indeed,
he is often subjected to hard trials
and great tribulations, but it is
rarely that we hear of the almond
eyed celestial voluntarily shaking
off this mortal coil rather than suf-
fer the slings and arrows of an out
rageous fortune. The story that
comes then from Cairo, ILL.,, of the
suicide of one of this much-abused
race, possesses peculiar and more
than passing interest and shows
how marked and deep-seated are
the habits and personal Deculiari-
ties and attachments of this people.
The dispatch says that on Sunday
last a Chinese roustabout came
ashore from one of the steamboats,
and went about town to see the
sights. He was followed by a
crowd of boys who jerred at him
and addressed him in language
anything but elegant. He paid no
attention to these insults until final
ly one of the roughs drew knife
from his pocket and cut off his
"pig-tail" close to his head. This
incensed the Chinaman and he be-
gan to cry. Then he procured a
carpenters hammer and began to
beat himself about the head. The
hammer was finally forced from
his grasp and while the blood
from his battered head,
he made dash up the street and,
Guiding his pursuers, ran to the
bank of the river, jumped in and
was drowned. The modification
of being deprived OF his que was
more than he could bear and he
sought surcease of sorrow in death.
AT any rate it was rare and singu-
lar tragedy and this seems to be
the most plausible explanation of

MIR. JOHANNES KRoPP lost a fine
harness and saddle mare on Sunday
morning last. The animal bore
evidences of having been taken
from the stable on Friday night
and severely ridden, and had also
been either shot in the back or
probed with some sharp instrument,
penetrating the spinal column,
causing death. 1t was evidently
the dastardly work of some wanton,
malicious rascal, who, could Mr..
Kropp ferret him out, would I'M
doubtedIy think he had fallen into
the hands of a red-hot Henry
Bergh. The mare was a valuable
animal and such offenses are indict-
able under the law.
