Circuit Court Proceedings.

The February term OF tue JeHeTeoh
Circuit Court began at Charlestown
on Tuesday, with Judge Duckwall
presiding. The grand jury was CON-
posed of the following persons: Hen
ry b. Davenport, foreman; r. ID.
Shugert, Geo. NJ. Duke, James w.
Benner, Ephraim Watson, g. W.
Bane, p. P. Marshall. Thomas Turn
er, J. Thornburg Kearney, Jacob L.
Nichols. Rudolph Rau, John w.
Slfer, r. w. Morrow, G. w. Moore,
Thomas Turner. The grand jury re-
turned the following indictments:
Harry F. Smooth, murder.
Alex. Black burn, felony.
John Williams, alias John Harris.
felony.
James Thomas, misdemeanor.
After the grand jury had made its
report, the case of Harry F. Smootz,
indicted for the murder of Susie c..
Terrell, was called.
Smooth had been brough: from the
jail at Charleston, Kanawha coun-
", 10y Sheriff Davis, who arrived IN
Cnarlestown with his prisoner at I
O'Clock Monday morning and placed
him in the county Jail. Juds" Duck
wall ordered that the prisoner be
broaght into court, and Sheriff Davis
and Deputy Morgan went TO the jail
and escorted him TO the Court House.
His counsel. Messrs. George Bay lor
and Marshall Mccormick, asked that
their client be not arraiSned until
"Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, a.
they wished time 10 examine the in
dlctment and note the list OF jurors.
The court agreed TO this. and Smooth
was returned to his cell.
The courtroom was crowded when
Smooth was brought III. As he walk
ed into the room and took his seat III
the bar beside his counsel every eye
was upon him. He was deathly pale,
and it was evident that he was ter
ribly frightened He was composed,
but his composure was maintained
only by great effort, and those who
were near him say that he trembled
continually. He was well dressed III II
snit of dark clothes, and looked as
neat as any man in the room. He
looked thin and haggard, and there
is little doubt that he has suffered
greatly. He never spoke a word
while he was in the court, nor did he
by any sign show that he recognized
any of his former acquaintance, OF
whom there were many present.
There was not the slightes demon
stration on the part of the crowd
against the prisoner, the strongest
feeling being q morbid curiosity TO
see the man who had committed such
a heinous crime.
Smootz was taken into court Wed
nesday morning and arraigned. He
plead not guilty. His counsel then
moved the court for a continuance un-
ill May term, assigning four reasons,
viz: The removal Of Smootz from the
county, which prevented them from
being able TO talk with him; the in
ability of counsel to prepare the de
Tense for this term; the strong feeling
against the prisoner, which rendered
it doubtful il he would obtain fair,
Impartial trial at this term; and the
absence of two Of his witnesses, one in
Maryland and the other in Virginia.
rne court, after hearing argument OF
counsel, refused to continue the case,
aud set the trial for March 10th next.
There was large crowd OF persons Ill
there Court House aud great interest
was manifested in the proceedings.

ever.

Letter From Florida.

EDITOR REGISTER This place i'm
presses me so much by its peculiar
beauty that thought | would confe:
favor on some Of my friends by Civ
ing you description of it.
Lakes are very numerous in Flori-
da, but they tell me that Lake Weiris
the belle of the sisterhood. 1t is about
miles long and 5 miles wide fresh
water-clear as 'crystal-and is used
in the homes here 1t is delicious TO
drink.
This lake is belted by forest oftall
pines and palmettos and beautifullive
oaks. The grey moss hangs in fes-
toons from every bough and in vary
ing lengths from 6 10 20, or 80 feet.
This moss gives a singular effect and
looks unearthly 70 Virginian. In
this belt of festooned trees are the
homes Of the people-all fronting the
lake. The distance between these
homes varies from 100 yards 70 $50
wards. The houses are nice. wooden
cottagts-some very tasteful. some
very roomy, and some very costly.
None Of them would do well in your
Virginia climate. They would let the
winter in. But here there is no win
ter to knock at the windows and
doors.
Behind this belt Of residences is the
source Of wealth-a belt OF orange and
lemons circling the whole lake. There
are 1900 acres Of groves now, and they
yearly increase in extent and i'll value
On the east eud of this lake is the
station of the S. F. R. R. On the lake
are four fussv little steamboats, (screw
propellors, one heated 10y coaI-oiD.
These carry the people across and up
and down the lake, while they push
large barges loaded with boxes of lerl-
ous and oranges and other fruits TO
the depot TO be shipped off TO market.
The people are very cordial and cul-
tured making as good society as you
have in the Valley Of Virginia. We
are pleased with every thing around
us. There is rather too much sand.
We have not seen any mud since We
got here aud won't see any till we
leave here.
This is the place for invalids to come.
DR.. a. told lie he had about one call
in thirty days, and he is the only doc
tor here. He obeys all the calls. but
depends on bis doctoring of orange
trees for his support. He has grove
and gets about 1000 year from that
source.
If any of your readers wish to come
to Florida this winter, send them on
to Lake Weir, where they will be both
pleased aud benefited. j. a. 5.

The feeling is gaining ground in

following: The Belt railroad tunnel.

itate the Baltimore & Ohio's efforts 10
reach New York, and we anticipate
that, eventually, the management OF
the company will fall into the hands
of those who are more interested III
the prosperity Of other cities than
| Baltimore. The Garrett block OF
stock, some 10000 shares, is in a posi-
ton to be sold. aud it is reasonable TO
suppose that should favorable OPP
portunity occur it will change hands.
All circumstances and conditions point
to the ABSORPTION Of a controlling in
terest in Baltimore and Ohio by
Eastern and European capitalists.
and it is possible that in time the COM
pany will be managed from the New
York end of the line. As a local in
