The Supreme Court of Appeals.

CASES FROM THIS JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
In the case Of M. S. Cahoon, treasurer
OF Botetourt county, VS.. the Iron Gate
Land Company, the decision of the Court
of Appeals, recently in session at Rich
mond, gave Botetourt county strip Of
valuable territory containing large part
Of the town of Iron Gate. An act was
passed by the Virginia Legislature of 1889
cutting off a portion of Botetourt and plac.
Jig it in the county of Allegheny. Judge
Mclaughlin decided that this act of the
Legislature was valid, and that BotetOurt
must lose that part of her territory. The
Board OF Supervisors directed Mr.. Hade II
to appeal from that decree, and the Court
of Appeals has reversed Judge Mclaughlin
deciding that that part of the territory
still belongs to Botetourt.

DepIorabIe Effects Of a Big Apple Crop.

A Rockbridge county correspondent in the
Richmond Dispatch says: 1.-The large ap
pie crop of this county is beginning to
prove rich harvest for the revenue Off
GERS, and what is most unusual occur
renee in this county has taken place-Dep-
Collector Hartman has seized two dis
tilleries. The spirits seized have been adj
verified according to law, and will be sold
at the end of thirty days unless claim to
the same is duly filed. The revenue officers
are securing the county and searching all
the houses and distilleries of the brandy
makers for illicit OF unstamped brandy.
Not long ago a seizure of a distillery was
made, and the owner was found to be put
ting brandy into old whiskey barrels, thus
avoiding the law under cover of the Whis-
key stamp. More apple brandy is being
made in this county than ever before, and
the amount drank in some localities is
enormous. One revenue officer reported
cases where whole families were drunk, the
women especially.

The Christmas Gathering OF County People
Monday

There has never been such gathering of
the county people on the eve of Christmas
as there was last Monday, court day. The
banks were literally besieged to draw
Christmas money, and the! crowd was SO
great that it was difficult to get near the
paying tellers. The money gotten out, the
trading commenced, and old observers say
they never saw any one day as full OF
Christmas buying as last Monday was. The
stores that dealt exclusively in holiday
goods had the preference, but all caught
some of it, and there was not a merchant
in Staunton who wasn't busy. On Tnes-
day the Christmas trading was also large.
