clone in Court, wo have to confess that tlie whole of the Court of Common . 1'lea* has so far furnished little of inter- I est or of importance. With all thci Judpe's desire to clear the over-laden cat-! endars, it is evident that there will still; be lelt much tin finished business. Jlulge Hudson very naturally and i justly showed some impatience with the I numerous "little appeals" from Trial: Trial Justice Courts, and a nutnlier ofi that sort of small fry were disposed of.: Thursday of last week found tlw juries j ready for work but no work ready for! 4,"? Tin* finttfirtil liurl ! tlic jllllvn. closed a day sooner than was expected, I and witnesses had been summonsed fori Wednesday. Throo land cases were disposed of, the one after the other?very small in money value anil acreage, hut involving a irreat deal of law, and therefore calling forth [ the utmost zeal of eouusel. The first was Wideman vs. MeClellan, for about twenty-three acre* of poor land. Mr. 10. i (i. Gra.vdoii for plaintiff, and Messrs.! l'urker A' Mcffowan for defendant. The jury found for the defendant?a colored; man. The next was Wideman vs. Hester, with same counsel. The defendant wgain pained, the Judge urantiiii: a non-i suit. The third was Seal tV Mellwaine v. j Sondly, Messrs. C'ason DeHruhl forj plaintiff and \V. V. McGowan for defend-j ant. The nlaintifV sraincd the verdiat. ! The case of Ilill \~. Perrin, administrator, was a suit to recover an account made by the intestate with A. M. Hill it! Sons, chiefly for whiskey. It was urged , for plaintiff that the administrator had j promised to pay, and not plead the stat- j uto of limitations. For the defendant it j1 was urged that the promise, not being in j writing, was not binding. It was also nr-! gued that the law at the time the account j make forbade the recovery of liquor i debts. The Judge held that this was the j law, and instructed the jury to find tor1, the defendant. Colonel 'Eugene It. Gary j was counsel for Hill Sons, and Mr. h Thos. P. Cot bran for defendant. j, /. Tho West Point Engine Co. v. Wells,' ( gave promiseof beingan interesting ease, , but it came to an untimely end. Parker j ?fc McGowan for defendant moved for a! non-suit, wiiicli lienet, luce ?. ommi| could not prevent. Tho <*hso of Tolbort v. PuPre, Sheriff.!' and Caldwell ?fc Co. excited a good deal of f interest. It was a battle of liens. Tol- ; ] bert as landlord had a negro's lien for ten j bale* of cotton,?the lien indexed in ' March, and the ootton to be paid on 1st lA October, 1881. Caldwell A Co. had a lien ij from same negro for advances,?their lien i I having been indexed in February, (a month before Tolbert'*,) and to fall due J on 1st November. .Mr. Noble for Tolbert argued that the landlord's recorded lien', although junior to tho merchant's has i priority. Mr. Benet for defendants ask-, ed tho Judge to charge that the landlord J lias an absolute lien for only one-third of f the crop, and that for any excess over one- i third he .stands like any other licnce, and 1 must take his turn. His Honor so chare-:' cd,and as it was in evidence that Tolbert: { had received his landlord's third of the ( negro's cotton tho jury found a verdict for the defendants. Another exceeding interesting case is now going on?John Itobinson v. J. F. j Lyon, Public Guardian. Fully a year , lffthinann u.-!i? <)pH:ircd a lllliatic ill , the Court of Probate. This action tra- i verses the inquisition and endeavors to r prove Itobinson a sane man. Noble A j Noble are counsel for Robinson, Col.: 1 Garv and Parker and McGowan for de- } fencLmt. L The Cnse of Hiram Lites. If Some three years ajjo Hiram Lites, * colored, was convicted of an asstult on j Mr. Daniel At kins. The jury, however, jr recommended him to the liiercy of the t Court, and, it is said, one of the jurors thought the punisliment would not ex- s ^ coed three months in the county jail. * Judire Aldrich sentenced him to the pen-. \ itentiary for three years. His attorney, * Kills G. Graydon, K*q., appealed to the:f Supreme Court for a new trial,- because } <\f tlm fOmrL'fi liv his Honor. Pendinif ' his appeal Mr. James Devlin, one of our I ' oldest and most respectable citizens went (. on his bond, f >r $500, and he was released ! ( from the prison. Since then Mr. Devlin j > . died. His heirs desired to be relieved c Irom liability on the bond, and for this:^ reason thought to surrender him t'> the j ( Sheriff last Monday in the most peaceable way. For tl.is reason he was hired to! ? drive a wagon to town, where arrange-ji ments were inade to hare him seized. |<i Lites seeing the constables or deputy; / nhoriffs gathering around him took fcoj'j Ills heels, and, with hat in hand, ran' 1 down New Orleans street al a speed, which distanced all persuers. and, so far ] as we aro informed, he is still at large on | tho bnnd. ' ( The offence of which Hiram Lites i stands convicted is a very serious one, j indeed. It was for "an aggravated as-, wanlf on the persons of Mr. Daniel At-j kins and his son, who irnd cone into the j house of tiio convict. Anury words | arose, and A brain Lites drew, or bran- n dished, or waved a stick at tho irontlo- ; ? men in a threatening manner. For this !y "inhospitable treatment of gentlemen tin- ' Ii der his own roof, he was very properly ;11 convicted, though the jury recommended J, him to the mercy of tho Court. In con-!., siduration of that recommendation he u was sentenced t<> only throe years in the f< penitentiary. Even this light punish-!*' inent is deemed too severe by his counsel whose appeal in his behalf will be heard , j. bj'the Supreme Court in ApJil. If no- t fjroes are allowed to go on in this way for i >i a ft w years, white men will soon have no 11 rights at all in this Country, wuieh a lie- j t gro need respect. * , n . |> Well Done. j' The now walnut tables which the ? C'onnly Commissioners have put in the " Court Room area groat improvement on J the old long pine table which surrounded j > the l>ench, ami around which the lawyers d sat when not crowded out of their places c by others. Ry the new arrangement ev- J er.v If wyer has his own place, and his own v table. Clerk Zeiglcr and Assistant Clerk c Connor occupy an elevation in front <>f * the Judge, which gives them and their * position an increased prominence. The! arrangement gives an air of comfort and' grace, and when the railing i? moved , back another yard or so, the place will ; ' * be all that anybody could wish. The gate at the railing and the constable in i front aro self-explanatory. When the County Commissioners add! the cliange? wnicn nis uonor reeoiu-1 mended they will deserve the well done J, of the whole people. There is no reason ' why we shouldn't have the finest Court' House in the up-country. j J In Store. !,; Next week we hope to publish a most i Interesting article froin Doctor \V. C. \ Norward, who is so well and so favora- c: hlj' known to our people. It was crowd- i | ed out this week. j( is Cou H. T.

From that city he return-: i ed by wnv of Augusta where he attended t the St. Valentino Ball. Ife speaks in the J most pleasant terms of his visit to that < city, and of the welcome which he re- i ceiven irom many menus murr. aiiumii; others he remembers the attention of iho * lion. Patrick Walsh with pleasure. Mr. ' Walsh is a favorite with the Abbeville people who know him, an<l ho makes it j pleasant for one to meet him. The local editor of the.Chronic!? makes this men-, tion of Mr. Ward law: "Mr. H. T. Wardlaw, one of the most denial and ac" complished of our Abbeville visitors, is ' pendinga few days with his numerous Augusta friends." The Au'fwttn Emt- .? in!7 Sewn also makes mention of Mr. ' Wardlaw in this way: "Mr. II.T. Ward- > law, one of the popular members of the < Carolina press, is over from Abbeville. He is a cousin of Mr. T. P. Wardlaw, j> and came over expressly for the Valen-: | tine ball." Mr. Thomas M. Christian is still at the 1 ?

Douglass, died last Monday at an advanced age. It i was only a few weeks ago 1 hat we no- ;1 tioed the destruction of her house, when 1 she was quite sick. She never recovered 1 from that illness, and U now no more. She was highlv respected by those who knew tier, and died in the ho*>e of a blessed immortality. She was buried yesterday at Ebenczer. We learn from Captain Mattison, i Chairman of the rtoard of County Commissioners, that the County Commission^ era will act upon the suggestions of Judge Hudson in reference to needed improvements on the Court House. This, we know, will be gratifying to the public as well as to those whose business it is to attend the Court. Thk Railroad employees at- AM>evilta were paid off r.n the loth instant with dimes. This, no doubt, was done with a view to accommodating our people to the .exact change whenever they may find it necessary to go into one of our tine bar- i jcoonw. ^-? Look at the appointments of Supervisors of Highways. Your name maybe among the list.* If not, voit are required to work the roads. We hope the Supervisors will go to work.

If he and his son would no to h<>nest work to earn a livelihood, instead of living off Southern gudgeons, he would be entitled to our respect.

The Mowing experiment Is quite suggestive: tie soil was thoroughly pulverized over a mall plat of ground. and on an adjoining lat of equal size the ground was packed as ard a* possible by repeatedly pounding It Ith a heavy maul. The surface of both lants were then covered with Hnely pulver:ed soil t<> the depth of half an inch, and on line 31 three rows on each plat were plunted 'lib seed of a large *\'ethers field onion.

All tho ! Ironclads of her fleet are of recent con j struction, and most of them liavo j come from the best English shipbuilders ; the German ironclad Konig ! WUhelm was oritrinallv built for the ! Turkish Government. The platea of j the Turkish ironclads are from 51-2 to 8 inches thick (two of the casemate ships have 9-inch plates), and they are armed with 8-inch and 9-inch Wool* I ? wich muzle-loader?, and Krupp j i breech-loaders. Turkey has four J Ironclad frigates of 3r050 horse j c power and 64 guns, six casemate shipa i each of 700 horse power and 5 guns, I and three turret-ships of 1,200 horse ! power and 11 guns, making in all flf j teen ironclads with 9,250 horse powei ! _ ana 118 guns. To these should be j added three ironclad gunboats of 240 horse power and six guns on tho j Danube, and two ironclad gunboats | on the Lake of Scutari, each with 60 horse nearer and two guns. The screw ships are Also for tho most part well | built and equipped. They consist of four ships of the line, thirteen frigates j and corvettes, twenty-two avisos, and twenty-seven gunboats and coasting |' vessels, besides 101 transport ships, j all l.\rge and mostly well armed. The j I actual strength of the available fleet : ? of Russia on the Black Sea cannot at | present kbo accurately estimated, but: the writer thinks there can be no I doubt that it is far inferior to that of; h the Turkish fleet. Austria has fout j,i ironclad casemate ships of 3,600 horse ' power and CO guns, and seven lion-! r clad frigates of 4,050 horse power and ;?' 980 guns. Three of these ships, how- i j ever, are now being rebuilt, and most ? of tho others do not fulfill tho require- j* ments of modern naval warfare, either I no rrtrrnrrTc t Jl/. f h i/'l."n?>cq nf t.hpir nllltM ! or the calibro of their guns. This re- I mark applies eveQ more to the Italian ' Ironclad ships, several of; which are to ! t be sold by auction this month, in or- J der to obtain funds fur constructing j new ones more suitable to modern re- * quirenients. i NOVEL TK2L1TMKNT FOR WOCNDi. c Having noticed an account of the ' somewhat novel treatment, recently !1 applied in the caso of a wound, we \ I addressed a note of inquiry to the gen* |, tleman named, Mr. A. K. Smoot,a com-; 1 mission merchant of Baltimore, and re- |( ceived a reply, a portion of which, r with permission, we copy. Mr. Smoot!( says under date of September 22: |i "On the 7th of the present month I ; accidentally jumped from an elevation j of threp or four feet on a large nail or spike driving it about two and a half inches through my foot. This happened in the morning, and toward evening the foot commenced swelling and the pain increased, so much so that it was with difficulty my | physicians, Drs. Atkinson and War oer, ccuiu relieve me uy uie uae oi uio | strongest narcotics. I slept but little ' r during tho night. The next duy the i J same treatment was continued, with i j the application of a hoppoultioe to tho | J wound. On |that day I received a card j? signed 'Sympathizer,' stating that the j, smoke from burning wool or woolen ! t rags would immediately relieve tho ; { I pain, and stop the inflammation. The ; | directions were to smoke the wound J 1 twenty minutes at a time, repeating i \ , the operation two or threo times I ! J accordingly took a picce of woolen ; blanket, and after making a fire in an < ; iron pot I smothered it with pieces ; J, : of the cloth and held my foot in the ? smoke. This soon relieved the pain, { the swelling went down, and up to ;? tho present time there has been scarce- j 'j 1 y any inflammation; a little bloody : water has escaped from the sore, but [ that is all. My physicians approved i of tho treatment, and I well know it ' relieved me of nain. and has proved a i great advantage in the healing of the I' wound. I am now able to walk, and i' the wound is doing well. I applied j" the Bmoke once every day, and by the ! advice of my physicians continued the ; hop poultice. The treatment with the I smoke is said to be applicable to all < wounds arising from bruises, cute, j nails, and the like, and I hope It I may prove benellcial to others."? j! Herald of Health. i EFFECT OF LI?UOK ON THE BRAJ Long before the era of tempera ordinances and organizations, Hyrti, j I by far the greatest anatomist of the J 1 age, used to say that ho could distln- ' guish, in the darkest room, by one j stroke of the scalpel, the brain of the j Inebriate from that of the man who lived soberly. Now and then he would congratulate his class upon the possession of a drunkard's brain, admirably fitted, from its hardness and more complete preservation, for the purpose of demonstration. When the anatomist wishes to preserve a hu- j man brain for any length time, he ! offects that object by keeping that or- j j gan in a vessel of alcohol. From a ' 6oft, pulpy substance it then becoinea j ' comparatively hard; and so, too, before death, the use of alcohol causes the induration of tho delicate ?and gos, samer-like tissues. i i ?rrrr' Said a Nevada lawyer concerning a < ! man who had kicked his wife down 1 stairs: "Gentlemen of the jury, he h'isted her! Great heavens, he h'isted hor! He -the brute, once, perhaps, a man?raised his foot and applied it to i e term of her who, at the holy r, he had sworn to love and cherish, ' * I I . L I1 IU?
