last Monday the 10th inst, Judge I. |,
Stealey presiding. There were four felony
indictments and some indictments for mis-
demeanofs. b
| g.. d. Smith, Esq, the new Prosecuting

ginner. Judge Geo. p. Boyd oil your
city came down last Monday sad as
sisted Judge Stealey in clearing up his
docket, trying come cases Judge steaiey
had been counsel in before his election.
Hon. D. F. Pugh, formerly resident oil
hfiddiehourne, now OF Columbus, u, was
also In attendance, looking after the I'M
finished business OF brotherin-law, j. n.
Mcknight, deceased, who was q promi-
nent attorney of Tyler county. We I'M
derstand that Mr.. Pugh will move back to
i TYLER county next spring and resume the
practice OF the law In this State.
The Sugar Greek neighborhood, in Tyler
county, Is now considerably excited over
the supposed ascending OF one OF their
prominent citizens. Some three or four
years ago man calling himself Joseph
Marsland. came to that portion ofTylei
county. He was a man OF fair presence,
about 40 years Of age, an Engllshman BY
birth and a worker in q woolen mill. I'D
became acquainted with Miss Priscilla
Gorrell, o lady about his own age, OF con,
siderable wealth, and Of good family, and
finally married her some two years ago.
Miss GorelPs brothers feared that this
man Marsland was an adyenturer and
only married Priscilla for her money, and
linterposed all the obstacles which II Yves
possible for themto do TO prevent him from
getting into his possession or control any
Of their sisters money. BE succeeded
however in getting some twelve hundred
dollars and about two weeks ago came to
Sistersyille on business, the business being
/ IN Vet anma Two hundred dollars which
i trust on her real estate to secure the loan.
