THrE CIRCUIT CoURT,,.The follow ing is a synopsis of the businers disposed of in the Oircuit Oou; V since our last report: The case of the State vs. John McCorkle, indicted for rape, re sulted in a verdict of "Not guilty." The defendant was accordingly .dischargod, State vs. William Boyle and Walter Boyle, indicted for the mur *der of Jno. A. Hogan on the 29th .day of March last--Gaillard & Ueynolds for defendants. The .prisoners, being arraigned, pleaded -"Not guilty," and wvent to trial. After several challenges the follow,. ing jury, all white, was impaneled;: :l. N. McMaster (foreman), A, M, Yongue, J. M. Ederington, George L. Coon, Lang'ey Claxton, Wylie M, Coleman, A. P. Irby, R. L,. Martin, Thos. W. Traylor, H. W. .Desportes, T. E. Cloud, 3. L. Cameron. Th\ facts developed on the trial were in substance os follows eThe de .fondant,s were regnested by their. ster to go tv the house of their mother (who had. mar. riod the deceased) and bi irig away a heifer belonging to their sister. On arriving at the gate, they stopped and called for their mother. She g,tve them full per nission to get the animal, and they then repaired to a field near the house, where .the deceased was plowing the heifer. Upon one of, Lhedofendants demanding of the do-. 3eased the heifer, he replied with profane and abusive language. and Ahreatencd the lives of the defon lants. Deceased then moved towards the defendant William Boyle and, saying that he had Weapons, put his right hi d in uis pants pocket, and moved rapid .y towards \Villiam Boyle. The l.tter retreated, and after moving rapidly away for some stops turned md tired. About the same time Walor Boyle picked up a small stone mnd threw it at the decoa,ed, when the latter turned suddenly towards him, and was moving rapidly and threateningly on him, when the do fendant William Boyle fired two shots, in rapid succession, both taking effect in the skull of the do eased. From the effects of the wounds thus inflicted, Hogan ied some hours after their in fliction. It was shown by sev eral witnesses that Hogan had frequently mialtre ted both the the defendants, and was in general n, violent and high-tempered man. A. large pocket-knife was found opened on his person after his death. The jury, after a brief deliberation, rendered a verdict of "Not guilty." The defendants were accordingly discharged. On Friday morning the prisoners convicted daring the term were called into court, and sentenced as follows : Andy Robinson and Allen Robin son, convicted of arson-tweaty years each, at hard labor, in the penitentiary. Gabe Chisolm, convicted of bur glary and larceny-five years, at hard labor, in the penitentiary. Gaines Jordan, same offence, seven years, at hard labor, in the penitentiary. The usual general order was passed and the Court of General Sessione adjourned. In the Court of Common Pleas no cases of interest were tried -- the business being confined to judlg mnents by default, motions and orders. Court finally adjourned on Friday afternoon.

There Is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in z87r. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be msde. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It i., only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness arp remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock Is In the hands of the well-linown wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers."-N. Y. Tr-.ung, Nov. 19, 16' 7. The above speaks for Itself, hut we would add that this Is the pure juice of the grape, neither drug7ged, //guored nor watered,' that It has been rip)ened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It Is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned. who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
