Squire Fr,ar says it is a waste O

The farmers are happy over thei
crops. A few hot days more and th

Yazoo City Correspondence.

AGO CITY, Dec. 10, 1851.
EDITOR CLARION; Circuit court adj
journed yesterday after quite an unevent-
full term. The only criminal case tried,
of a capital nature, was that of the
State vs.. John Moriarity, charged with
the murder of j W. Ricketts,. This
case came on for trial .. ,ne last term
but owing to the Sudden illness of the
defendant. was withdrawn from Che Jury
by mutual consent and continued. Full
particulars of the homicide were fur
nished TIVE CLARION at that time and
need not be repeated in detail.
The killing took place in PEPPERS
blacksmith shop in Deasonyille, and
Ricketts,, with his pipe in his mouth.
was leaning against the doOr-facing, saik-
ing to Pepper about sharpening some
pillow points, when Moriarity, who was
sitting upon a bench ON the side Of the
shop opposite the forge, with shot gun
across his lap, fired the first shot. Rick
etts turned and ran out of the shon.
when MOriarity, jumping down from
the LenGh, discharged the othar barrel,
the ent re load of buckshot entering
Ricketts, back. Ricketts, was unarmed
at the time.
Moriarity testified that while Ricketts,
was leaning against the door-facing, the
latter kept watching him with furtive
glances, and suddenly threw his right
hand towards his hip pocket as If to
draw a pistol, when he fired in self de-
fence. The line of defence was, that
~ Tue killing was the termination Of feud
of long standing between Eicketts and
Moriarity, and that the former had not
only made attempts and uttered threats
against the life of the latter, but had
endeayored to hire others 10 assassinate
him.
Judge Wharton ruled out the admis-
sion of the evidence of such threats and
attempts on the ground that the founda
ton for its introduction had not been
laid by proof of such an overt act upon
| the part of Ricketts, at the time the first
shot was fired as would have given
Moriariiyg reasonauie cause to believe
himself in great bodily danger. III
W., " % p1avq,cany ruling at the entire de
fence, and after formally submitting Il
the court the testimony of their severa
witnesses, so as to take exceptions to thu
rulings of the court, the case was sub
mitted to the jury. The trial consumed
four days. After celebrating about tw,
hours, the jury returned verdict o
guilty, fixing the penalty at life in tn
penitentiary. The case will go to th
Supreme Court -on the various excep
tons to the rulings of the court below
"CoR."

1t is amusing to see how tender-footed
certain blood remedy proprietors have be-
come of late. They make much ado about
"apes and imitators," when none are in
sight.
The proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we at
tempt to initiate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus operandi
of that which they offer. Our own long
experience in the profession precludes such
an idea. The field for blood remedies is
large and broad, affording ample room for
all present aspirants. We do not desire
to close the door against others, neither
shall it be closed against us. B. B. B. i
the quickest remedy, does not contain min.
eral or vegetable poison, does not initiate
and is in the field as an honorable compel
itor for public favor.
