Wednesday was the day appointed fo? the trial of the State vs. Ferguson. In consequence of this, wbee Courl was called, a large crowd waf Assembled. On his Honor calling the case, Alio attorneys for the accused. a.<*kcd permission, before saying whether or not they were readv to come to trial, to call over their witnesses and find out if tlioy were present. This, the Court readily granted. Finding that two important witnesses failed to answer to .their names, tho accused asked for a continuance on that ground, which the Court granted. The Solicitor here obtained leave of ' tho Court to go home on account of sickness in his family, and Mr.* Bonham represented the State. The next case taken up was that of the State vs. Daniel Cowan, indicted for assault with intent to kill; O. T. Calhoun, Ksq,. appeared for the defense. It appeared from the evidence that the accused was of unsound mind, and the jury finding to that effect, the Judge * _ i i\ ?_i rt >. ii a i sum uiniRi i/owan 10 tue AKJ'lUUi. An adultery case was taken up next, resuited in a verdict of not guilty as the State was unable to prove the marriage of'ftithor of'the parties. The other cases on tne docket were continued until the nest terra. The appeals from Trial Justices Covrts were then taken up, and sutojnnrily disposed of, 'Hie Trial Justice* fared better than usual at this term of the Court, having very few of their decisions reversed. Among those reversed were the State vs. Venner Kay, in which Mr. W. N. Graydon raised the point that Trial J ustices had no jurisdiction in cases of p?:tit larceny. Mr. J aiiioh S. Perrin succeeded in getting Sam Jacksofl off, on defendant's paying up the costs before the trial. The" Court of General Sessions was adjourned sine die on Thursday mornr.??_iog, aud the Court of Common Pleas convened. Ah there u*ere no juries the 'remaining time of the Court was taken up in hearing equity cases, nnd the taking of judgments by default.

We noticed at a distance several persons, as we thought, trying to get the best of some kind of a wild 'varmint." We cautiously neared the scene and, to our surprise, found that it was only a substitute for the dead mule in the shape of a small sized steer, that would have been more at home with its "inama" than hitched to a plow.
