The spring- has opened so unpro- ] piiionsly that the farmers are back-1 waid in putting 211 their spring oat^; ! however a great deal has been sown, j and what is up is looking very well, j so that high hopes for the future are , indulged in. If the weather permits a large acreage will be put down, as is apparent from the large quantity of smoke arising in the neighborhood. Longtown has had quite a large acquisition to her population within the last three w eeks, three white families, numbering twenty souls, having settled down in this neighborhood. These, with those who have come into thisscttlemcntsince November, 1880, make over forty persons, all cf whom are healthy, robust and industrious, and will make excellent citizens- We are informed that Mr. Harrell loft this morning for North Carolina with the purpose of making an effort to bring a large number of good, excellent workers back with him, also white, to be settled on his place near the river or elsewhere. To give give you some idea of the health and life-prolonging virtues of the waters of this terebinthinous region, we will mention that from the Longtown belt of pines around to the Buffalo section there are twenty-six persons over seventy years of age. with quite a number in their three score and ten. One is in her 109th year, one in his 90th, one in 88th, one in 86th, four in 84th, two in 87th, two in 82nd, one in 80rd, one in 81st, three in 80th, one in 79:h, one in 78th, two in 77th, one in 7Gth, two in 75th, three iu 71st. All of these arc of the -Caucasian race, and quite a number of others are in their 70th. There are also a good many very old colorcd people in the same section. While a good many deer and turkeys ; are found here, there is a scarcity of small game. They arc daily being thinned out, for as long as the hunting season la^ts they cannot rest.

Mackey appeared for the defence. by appoint-: incut ofthe presiding judge. The case against Sherman Jones, it wiil le r.:-; membereu, was commenced at the j September term of court. The proof j then was that the building burnt was I on land belonging to Mrs. Sarah J.! Gladney, while in the indictment the I ownership was set forth as that of Mr.! Gladney.

After several challenges the'following jury was organized: John "\V. Seiglor (foreman), Charles F. Coleman, Thomas F. Mann, John M. Brown, Strothor Ford, ty'in. J. McQuatters, John M. Smith, A. "YV. Ladd. Joseph II. Kennedy, Joseph C. Wm S. D. F._ Tlrico. The evidence in the case showed the following facts: The deceased and the prisoner were talking about some transactions between them, concerning cotton, and got to quarrelling. After some wrangling John took off his coat and threatened to give Joe a whipping. Aflcr some further wrangling John made for Joe and struck at him?being held back by a witness. John said to ti is witness, "Ford, if you don't let me it: ike Joe, I'll strike you". The witness releasing him, John then struck Joe on the side of the head and Joe sta<rsrered. John also fell backward. The parties then grap- , pled, but were separated. About fifteen minntes after the fight John said he felt sick. Parties took him into his house and put him in bed. After about twenty minutes he was dead. There were finger marks upon his neck. The physician who examined the dead body testified that John died from asphyxia produced by choking. The theory of the defendant's counsel was that Joe acted in self-defence, and that the death did not result from the choking. The only evidence adduced for the defence was that of Dr. Robertson to testify as an expert, and of one witness to show the violent character of the deceased. Argument was made by Mr. McCautsand the Solicitor, and the jury were charged by the judge. After an absence of about three minute* the jury returned a verdict of ''Not guilty". The defendant was accordingly discharged. The Suite vs. Essex Dnffie, indicted for forgery?Messrs. Douglass & Hagsdale for the defence.
