Jackson Herald: Mr. Williams Me- Cleskey, cne of our most clever citizens, and one that makes his own meat and hominy, is a great believer in the adapta bility of the razor-back hog to Georgia’s soil. He raises no other kind, and .takes great pride in his success with thciaPt. In order to show our readers what he\eui do with this favorite breed, he se the weight of his last killing. He fell six hogs, and they netted him over fiftee: hundred pounds, as follows: one weighed 220 pounds; two 200 pounds each, aud three 245 pounds each. Griffin Sun: From Mr. E. W. Ham mond, who was in* Atlanta Friday, and had a talk with Mr. Julius Brown, the re cent purchaser of the Griffin, Monticello aud Madison railroad, wc bear that that gentleman lias decided to change the route of his road and carry it to Locust Grove, leaving the original line at Itingold Lodge. Only six miles of grading would be necessary to carry out this scheme, and it lias far more sense in it than the “subsidy” plan that Mr. Brown has been talking about for some time past. Mr. Ham mond says that deeds to the right of way have been purchased, aud that work will be began at once, as Mr. Brown’s idea is to have the road completed by the time the other road is finished to the point named. Now the scheme looks tip top on paper, and the writer proposes carrying “our Edward” over on tho first train that Mr. Brown runs from the place, Locust Grove, and set ’em up on each end of the road. At any rate, we hope, and believe that Mr. Brown, or some one else will build a road from this point to the Grove. Americas Recorder: The latest from Mr. Fort's artesian well, is that a consid erable stream of water has been readied at a depth of over 500 feet and it now rises within six feet of the surface.

Arlington Advance: The other day two cuffies were busy loading a wagon with guano at the depot when politics was discussed, as follows: “Sambo,” said the first, “what you think o’ this coalition politics dey is talkin’ ’bout now? “Dunno nuffin ’bout it, Jake.

She rapped at the door of tho sbail* which was opened by a colored woman, ffjjm she asked if her husband (meutioninjehe fol low’s name) was there. The w< plied that he was, and immediate] the man made his appearance, words ensued between them, when the negro, seizing a billet of wood, dealt his wife a terrible lick, nearly knocking her down. He then grabbed her and called on the other woman, who sallied in with a keen edged hatchet and struck lie poor defenseless wife a fearful lick aeftiss the head, inflicting an ugly wound! which will probably result in her death.

He, how ever, soon recovered consciousness, and by the time the train reached the depot was able to walk up to Dr. H nry Battey’s office to have his wounds dressed. Mr. H. B. Everett, while sitting at supper in bis own house at Lumpkin, was shot by an assassin ou the outside and painfully wounded. He was struck by twenty number six shot. Three sea captains were assaulted in Savannah near tho Central railroad wharfs by a gang of roughs, and were se verely beaten. A day or two since, a negro on the Brunswick aud Albany railroad whipped out a pistol and fired at the conductor, Captain Crovatt for some fancied wrong. The ball perforated the Captain’s cictbing but did no barm otherwise. The negro was seized and is now ill jail.

Baker, five miles in the country, was seated before a small fire in the bouse drying a few bird wings for tbe purpose of making a fan. While thus seated her clothing caught fife, and almost in a twinkling she was enveloped in flames. There was no one in the house at the time of the accident, but Mr. Baker, who was in the field near by, heard the girl screaming and ran to the house, to find when reaching there the little orphan with all her clothes burned off, and lying prostrate on the floor. Her lower limbs, aud in fact her entire body, were fearfully charred. She lived through intense suf fering until Sunday morning, when the last spark of life left the chaired remains. Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Sun day evening, about half past seveu o’clock Mr. Fred Bolniger, bar keeper at the Shuetzenplatz, discovered a mad setter dog fighting with two dogs belonging lo the place. Calling a colored boy to hi3 assistance, they.both attacked the dog and succeeded in apparently killing it. When going out in the yard again, Mr. Bolinger kicked the seemingly dead animal, which immediately jumped up and sprang at him and was beaten off with a stick. At that time the colored boy came oat with an axe and succeeded in killing tbe mad canine. Dublin Gazette: Mr. J. G. Smith, oi Johnson county, tells us that on Sunday last, while walking through his fields, he discovered two very large hawks, aud, returning to the house, procured some strychnine and baited for them. On Mon day he went back to tbe place where he had bailed and found them both cead. One measured four feet and eight inches, and the ether four feet six indies, from tip to tip. Dublin Gazette: Everybody knows what a clever matter-of-fact pious man Editor Mike Burch, of the Eastman Times, is. And everybody knows how fond of children he Is, and who don’t know how well he likes the dear ladles, sweet creatures? The Judge Is pretty well acquainted with the girls of all sizes in Dublin and as everybody thought so did he, pretty well known as good Uncle Mike. But it seems that not many hundred days ago, tho Judge got into the wrong pew. Ho was talking upon the occasion to which wc refer, to an old friend when in came Lipping as gaily as a hire a young widow. The judge says he took iierfor 0110 or the Naucys, caught hold of her, pressed her to his yearning bosom and was about to imprint an affectionate kiss upon the peachy cheek when the two gazes, resembling the look of Punch and Judy just before the fight begins over the baby, met. ‘ihe little widow at first was lost in ecstasies; but when the reaction ot the mistake broke in upon the scene, the young “eatress” could not look with more fierceness. The editor swooned, bowed, scraped and apologized and desir ed that his dilemma not be used as subject for a local. But not expecting Mrs. B. to bear of it or see this article, and know ing tbe implicit confidence she puts in the judge, we have ventured to disappoint liim once by telling all the bad things, such as hugging young widows and such when he u off from home. Columrus Times: Yesterday there was quite a sensation among tbe cows on lower Broad street, aud also among the citizens who did uot understand tbe cause of the commotion. A cow got her leg broken, and it became nccessaiy for tbe animal to be killed. This was done and the blood was poured into the sewer near lbs intersection of Broad aud Baldwin streets. The cows, as soon as they scented the blood, came In droves to tbe place and pawed up the earth and bellowed in a most woeful manner. The cows from all that part of tbe town were drawn to the spot, and those who saw thorn esti mate that not less than a hundred were bellowing at one time. It attracted con siderable attention and was tbe biggest cow funeral of the season. Rome Bulletin: We learn there is to be an iron furnace at Sugar Valley at an early date. No news can be more appre ciated by citizens all over the country than to know of these continued improve ments. Not only do they distribute money, but givo employment to the labor ing class, some of whom are in actual waut. Sumter Republican: We learn from Alderman R. £. Cobb that work is pro cessing rapidly on Flint river bridge, and if no provident ial interference takes place it will be ready for use about the middle of April.

Sumter Republican: On Monday last at Mr. Sheppard’s piace, in tbe eastern suburbs of Americus, occurred something in the way of a fight. A monster hawk stopped in the grove at Mr. Sheppard’s, and, seeing a ben with her brood, pounced down among them, gathering one in his talons. The terrified brood sought shelter wherever it appeared most promising, and two chickens found it under the hawk’s wiDgs. A negro woman ran out, but the hawk backed up to a wall and offered fight. The womau squalled for help, when Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard came to her aid, and with sticks, pistols, liand-splkes, boards and other weapons likely to pro duce death, set upon and broke the hawk’s neck and liberated the old hen’s chickens. Fort Valley Mirror: What this country needs just now is more hard, constant work, less grumbling and talk about hard times; more saviug and less spending. More genuine elbow grease between the plow handles, and less stand ing around stores and depots. Stronx hands and a good grip should be the pass word along the lines, with every man at his post doing duty. The pressure ia upon us and we are obliged to grin and endure it, and “don’t you forget it.” Columbus Times: Yesterday wo saw tbe signature of Dr. Asa Pond, the father of our efficient clerk of the Superior Court, Mr. George Y. Pond, who is in his eighty-fifth year, which is as bold and film as though the penman was only twenty-five. In fact, it was more legible than those of half a dozen witnesses less than half his age whicli were attached to the same paper. There is another re markable thing about the eld gentleman, aud that is that though he fondles on his knee his grandchildren of the fourth gen eration, he has never yet felt tbe need of spectacles or eye glasses, and withou’. the aid of either will read this notice this morning. His health is good, aud long may he live to enjoy those faculties which have been preserved to him in such a re markable degree. Atlanta has had another big fire fright.

Savannah News: Hon. R. F. Lyon and J. J.

A correspondent of tho Southerner and Appeal has been to Macon and says: We stopped to take a view of the l.rge wholesale house of S. T.

The cirtnm- stanoes, as near as wo can get them, are as follows: There lives with Mr. Brantly lessee of the above-mentioned place, a young man named Williamson, lately of middle Georgia, and a relative. Tho two got on a private drank Saturday afternoon, and being informed that some cattle were in the oat patch, Mr. Williamson ordorod ■ boy employed on the place to bring him mule saddled to tbe gate and he would ride over and drivo them out. On attempt ing to mount the mnle he foil back anil re marked that “he was too d—n drunk to ride.” The negro replied, “Well, sir, I wonld not attempt it then; let me go.” Williamson turned aronnd and remarked, “None of your d—n jaw,” and wringing from tbe hands of another darkey standing near by a doable-barrel shot-gun he fired, tearing the entrails from the unfortunate fellow, the wholo load penetrating the ab domen. He diod soon afterwards. Wil liamson attempted to make his escapo, but was caught by the other nogro mon on the place and held nntil the sheriff arrived, who fiaced him in jail, where he now awaits rttico, which is the end of a manilia rope.

See atfvertiso- A Correspondent ol “No Fence” Pro clivities replies to CoL jobn P. Fort Neab Guixoden, February 27. Eoitols Telxobafh and Missenoxh:— I notico in lost week’s hsue of the Tele- obafs and Messences a labored effort from Mr. Fort against the “stock or no fence law,” bnt a careful analysis of his views therein expressed strips them of all jnst or reasonable argument. He sets ont with a “grave doubt whether or not very many voters have taken the care or pains to read or examine into tbe practical work ings of tho proposed * stock law.’" I may, with equal force, express tbe donbt whether or not many voters ever exnmined the old “fence law.” I dare say not one farmer in fifty ever saw it, or heard it read, or actu ally knows what the law requires a legal fence to be. People living in the agricul tural regions know that very few farms are inclosed with good fences, yet as a gen- oral thing they use as much forbearance with each other as possible, and drag along as best they can under the old regime. Now, we ha-dly think that the introduc tion of this now law will change the na tures of men. Mr. Fort, assuming tho new law in vogue, runs A and B into a compli cated law snit, on account of a providential blowing down of A’g pasture fenco. Now, if B is a reasonable man ho wonld not take advantage of A’s casualty, bnt wonld notify him, or Bond his stock home, and A would do what is honest and pay him fer his loss and trouble. I vontnre to say, such wonld bo the settlement in eight cases ont of ten, because eight freeholders out of ten no strongly in favor of the stock law, and hence wonld arise a community of interest, and do sane or reasonable man wonld try to render the new law unpopular, or rush into law suits any more than under the old law; in fact, in somo parts of Soath Caro lina, where this law is in force, law suits about s'.ock have decreased thirty fold. Mr. F. overlooks the fact that tho same wind that might blow A’s pasture fence down, under the new law, might blow B’s crop fence down under the old law, and subject him probably to greater loss and trouble If B. finds strange or unknown stock on his premises, there wonld bo no more tronbio or expense to “estray them” undt>r the new law, than under the present or old law. He finds farther faalt with the “stock law” because cattle can’t distinguish county or invisible lines. Well, he know*, if bo knows the tacts throughout the coun try, that invisible lines aro pbout as effect ive against the depredations of stock os one-half of the old plantation fences, and the farmers have neither the money, labor nor timber to rebuild them. His sarcastic allusion to the disLict fence is unreason able; every farmer living near or inclosed by such a fence wonld be just as watchful over it as over his own, because it incloses and protects him. Wo don’t accuse Mr. F. of pandering to the feelings of any one class of people, for we believe him to be a just and honorable man. Bnt we do think bo failed to put ihe term strong enongh when he said “the great body of onr people are in modorete circumstances.” Ho ought to have said the great body of oar people are farmers and agriculturists ana are distressingly poor, unable to feed, clothe and educate their families properly; yet, upon the pro duct ot their mnscle rests the wealth of the country. Tho advocates ot the stock law know this and will do all in their power to aid tho poor man and farm laborer. I claim to be pretty well posted on this fence question in my district—521st, Crawford connty—and I think I speak the troth when I say that less than one thousand acres of land in this entire district is repre sented by “fence men.” The “fenco men” do the “ro fonco men” great injustice in trying to array the laborer against the land owner. What freeholder would be so foolish and suicidal os to try to dissatisfy or oppress laborers ? On tho contrary, his every interest and hope for prosperity should nrge him to render his laborers contented, hnppy and prosperous, and if one farmer would not famish a laborer pasture room another would; therefore tho poor man would neither have to sell or shoot his cow, without he chose to do so. I have omitted the strongest argument in tho above in favor of “no-fence, to which th’s question is rapidly drifting, and upon which it will finally turn. M. DVUGLARIOVSLV EXTEHED A Fourth street Store Neatly Robbed Yesterday Morniuar. One of the neatest robberies that has ever come within tho visual ken of this re porter was perpotrated daring tbe small honrs of yesterday morning at tho grocery of Mr. R. H. Thompson on Fourth street The store is next to Crockett’s fonndry, and by reason of a broken gate access easy to tho hack yard. Tho thiof or thieves entered this yard and getting under the honse, which is bailt about two loot iroxn the ground, bored a series of holes with an inch auger, and by this means cut out a holo in the floor large enough to admit a man’s body. After getting in the store they seemed to have mado leisurely inventory and took such a variety as one would ex peot to find ia tho samplo case of a grocory drummer. In this inventory the sardines and canned goods suffered greatly. Then they turned their attention to heavier gro ceries and piled recklessly into meat, flonr. tobacco, cigars, and even whisky. They then opened tho back door and passed ont. At the nsaa) opening hour yesterday Mr. Thompson was somewhat surprised to find the door unlatched: but his surprise was fast melted by the red-hot indignation whioh followed a survey of the ransackodpremises. This is the second at tempt in six weeks to rob tho store. For tunately there was no money in the till, or it would have joined the largo majority of pilfered goods. Tho case was given to Lieutenant Wood and Officer Mosely, who have gone to work and will probably catch up with tho thieves. Mr. Thompson's loss will probably foot np fifty or sixty dollars. He has beon sin pularly unfortunate in having his prem ises robbed, and despite all his precautions I10 has often been singled out as a victim Decisions or tbe Supreme Court or Georfflnt Rendered February 281b. Abridged for the Telegraph and ileuengcr by II. C. Peeples, of the Atlanta liar. Wood ot al Y3. Macon and Brunswick Rail road Company et al. Refusal of Injunc tion from Bibb. Jackson, C. J.—1. Tho sale of tho Macon and Brunswick railroad is valid and bind ing upon the Stats, and equity would hold the title good in the purchasers, though all the regulations proscribed for tho manner of conducting it had not been literally complied with if carried into execution substantially by the executive, the purchase money having beon largely paid and tho transaction virtually ratified by subsequent acquiescence of thelogislntivo department. 2. By the lease and eabseqaent purchase of the road and its franchises, the present company, known ns tho Macon and Bruns wick Railroad Company, acquired the right to oxtend and construct the road from Ma con to Atlanta, subject to the limitations in the original and amended charters of tho company, subsequent legislation thereon, and tbocoDstitnLonal guarantee os to dam age to private property, Ac. 3. Though the State may have previously dedicated property along the direct lino of said extension to other public uses, it has the reserved right to appropriate a necessa ry portion of it to other pnblio use, provid ed suoh appropriation be mado by express grant or neoessnry implication that such grant was intended 5 for having parted with it for one pnblio nso, in the absence of snob new grant, the presumption would be that it had not made another, inconsis tent with the first. 4. If the State hetself had dedicated the grounds in the cemetery at Macon as a public burying place, and the track of tho ] imposed extension in tbe most direct lino roni Maoon to Atlanta passed along the edge of the ccmotery adjoining tbe Oomni- 86o river, and was not inconsistent with the prior use of the ground fora cemetery, but passed over ground wholly unsuited to such use, the implication wonld be strong that the grant to construct the road ou ruch direct line, not being in conflict with the prior dedication, included the grant to pasB over snch unnecessary part of tho cemetery. 5. Bat where tbe city of Macon horself had made the dedication for herself, and byoonLact with the railroad company, and for a valuable consideration,had grant ed to the company the right of way through a portion of tne former nso, and not inter fering with any private lot conveyodby her to private persons, then it is clear that no such private person would be equitably en titled to interfere with tho grunt impliedly given by the State and expressly ceded by C. Delay in applying for the writ of in junction nntil large expenditures have been made in acquiring tho right of way on tho line to tho cemetery aud in work done within it and without not’ce to the compa ny of intention to make application there for, will make equity more loth to stey the progress of the work. The writ is designed to prevent and not to undo; and without strong rearon therefor, if delayed until progress at heavy cost has been made, Ihe application should not bo granted. 7. Facts in dispute, with conflicting affi davits, are for the chonoellor, and unless his indgment thereon shows an abase of dis cretion, this court does uot interfere. In this cage his judgment thereon is over whelmingly sustained. Judgment af firmed. Dohme vs. the Slate, Keeping a gaming home, from Oily Coart of Atlanta. Jackson, 0. J.—1. It is not necessary in an indictment for renting a house for-the pur pose of gaming to otherwise describe the nouse than to give its locality; that it is in tho connty. 2. Where there are two coants in an in dictment, one for keeping a gaming house and another for routing a house for the purpose of gaming, a general verdict of guilty will suffice, especially os tho puaish- ment is tho samo for each offense. Jndg- ment affirmed. Overby vs. Hart. Claim from Stewart. Jackson, C. J —4. It is not necessary that a levy on land shonldbo disposed of before another levy of the fi. fa. can be made. . 2. A deed, made by a trustee, in the body of which was set ont the order to sell and tho character in which tho deed was execu ted by the trustee, who signed his own name thereto with seal affixed, was a good con veyance by him, as trustee, although his signature was not “os trustee.” 3. A purcha-er at shorill’s sale is bound to look to the judgment, the levy and deed; therefore, a sheriff’s deed, tendered in evi dence and supported by an execution against foar persons and a levy which did not state to which one of tho fonrtho prop erty loviod on belonged, was properly ruled out. Judgment affirmed. Cox et. al. vs. Barber et. al. Eqnity from Worth. Jackson, O. J.—Where, at an exocutor’s sale by two executors, a third person bought land, a deed being executed to bim, and on the samo day ho executed a deed to oao of the executors individually to the land and snch exeentor, individually, sold and executed a deed to another party who remained in possession tor several years, and the deed ot reoord purported to be ter a fair price expressed on the faco thereof. Held: That these facts alone are not sufficient to charge a purchaser from tho last mentioned person with notice of fraud in tho sale by the executors. Judgment af firmed. Swatts vs. Spence, administrator. Equity from Mitchell. Jackson. C. J.—1. There being no date to the certificate ct the judge to the bill of exceptions, it will bo presumed, under tho act of 1881, to have been made on tho day of acknowledgment of service by attorney ter defendant in error, to save the caa*i from being dismissed from tho Supreme Court. 2. Co-defendants to a bill to marshal as sets may be made parties plaintiff without notice, by amendment in this court to the bill of exceptions filed by some of the de fendants to the bill below. 3. Though an amendment to a bill be made without an order or leave of the court but before injunction, as'rod ter in tho bill, was granted, no objection being made thereto on the application tor in junction, the informality is not snch as to furnish good ground ter setting osido verdict in the cause. 4. Equity will correct a mistake by which a wrong number ter lo; intended to be conveyed was inserted in a deed of the parties thereto or their privies can be placed in the position they would have 00 cupied had tho right number been need Judgment affirmed. Beck vs. Bower et al., administrators. Ejectment, from Mitchell. Chawfobd, J.—1. An entry of “no per sonal property to be found” on an execu tion from a justice court will authorize the levy of the execution on realty, though af ter each entry tho execution has been lov- ied on personalty and such personalty sold under it. Especially is this so when the porsonal property seized was pointed out by th6 owner of the fi. fa. only seven days after tbe entry of “no property,” thu3 showing no fraudulent purpose by such entry to levy upon land, and, said seizure being unproductive, the execution was lev ied on the land in three months from such entry. It conld not have been contem plated that a new entry of “no personal property to be found” should be indorsed upon a justice’s court fl. fa. every thieo or four months, if so much time should elapse between such on entry and a levy upon land. 2. When a sheriff’s deed is relied on as title, title mast bo shown in the defendant in fi. fa. or possession by him after judg ment. Judgment reversed. Hnghes vs. Maples. Complainant from Mitchell. Ckawtoud, J.—This being the first grant of a new trial will not be interfered with by this court. Judgment affirmed. Tho Connty of Lee vs. Gadsby Walden. Il legality, from Lee. Gbawtobd, J.—1. Affidavits of illegality are amenable instanter, upon motion and leave of the court, by insertion of now and independent grounds, whenever tho de fendant will swear that ho did not know of such grounds when the original affidavit was filed. This is trne, though such amendment bo mado after issues under the origiual affidavit have been referred to on auditor aud passed on by him. 2. That cosss involve matters other than matters of account does not prevent roforence of some of tho matters involved to an auditor. He examines and reports on only snch os are referred, and when bis report is made it may be excepted to, and exceptions of fact go to a jury. When a verdict is rendered thereon it settlor only tbe facts upon tho issues made, leaving all other matters nndisposod of as before. 3. Execution against a principal and his securities, issued by an ordinary on tbe bond of a lax collector not signed by said principal, could not legally proceed against the property of such principal. Judgment affirmed. Beall vs. Rush Equity, from Dougherty. Sfeeb, J.—1. A bill ter injunction, etc., filed as auxiliary to a suit at law is main tainable against a non-resident, who is plaintiff in the snit at law when such bill is filed in the connty where the suit was brought, and such bill will be retained to grant relief os to all matters involved in a propor settlement of the litigation pending at law. 2. When a suit in trover was brought to recover fifty-two bales 04 cotton, there was eqnity in a bill alleging that said cotton was stored in tho warehouse ot defendant in said snit,whore it remained until the filing of tho bill, that n large nnmbcr of bales be longing to plaintiff in said 6uit were also stored in said warehouse, that there were sums for storage, advances, expenses, and commissions on all of said cotton due to the complainant, largely in excess of tho valuo of said fifty-two bales, and that com plainant had permitted Dlaintiff in the tro ver sait to ship all of said cotton except the fifty-two bales on said plaintiff’s promise to pay said sums so due, and praying in junction os to said sait in trover, and an accounting as to amounts alleged to be dao to complainant. 3. Though the role that buoks of a mer chant, whoso usuaband customary business is tho sale cf goods and merchandise, are not evidenoeof considerable cash items charged, (04 Ga. 243), is recognized as cor rect, yet this court is not inclined to extend tho role so ns to include books of factors and commission merchants whose ordinary business is to make cash advances to cus tomers. 4. When A. sold to B. eighty-nino bates of cotton which B. sold to O. at nn ad vanced price, and when B. sought to doliver said cotton toO.it wasfonna that A, had previously sold nineteen bales ot tho lot to another pnruhoser, and B. was compelled to account to O. ter the valuo of the uinotcon bales at said advanced price, it was error to charge that A. should only account for tbe missing bales at the prise at which he had so.d them to B. with interest B. should be indemnified for tho amount he was foroed to pay O. with interest from tbe time ho paid it to O. Judgment affirmed on terms. Ludden & Bates’ now and distinct oanse of action, in which the parties, consideration and mode of pay ment are all variant from the first. Judg ment affirmed. Tucker vs. Ball. Complaint, from Dough erty. Sfeeb, J.—This being a cross-bill of ex ceptions alleging certain errors to have been committed in the trial of ths cxnse by the jndgo presiding, and the judgment of tho court on the main bill of exceptions being one of affirmance, wo will not pass . unon tho questions herein made, not being required so to do by the act of September 28/issi. The cross-bill is therefore dis missed. : Crawford vs. The State. Burglary from I Mitchell. , „ . 1 Speed, J#—1. An allegation in an indict ment that a burglary wa® committed by breaking and entering the depot of tho Savannah, I lorida and Western railway, a corporation chartered by said State, did not make it noccsaary to prove that aud railway was a corporation chartered by this State. The averment has no reference to tho description of tho offense, or the man ner in which it was oommitled, or of the identity of that which is legally essential to the ,-harge. .... 2. The verdict is supported by the evi dence, being sustained by the testimony of accomplices, who were corroborated by unexplained possession of purt of tho stol en goods by the defendant. Judgment af firmed. Bell vs. Morton. Appoal, from Stewart. Sfeeb, J.—1. A suit was brought on an account for $13.25 in a justice’s court al leging said amount to bo dne ter supplies etc., for the year 1873, after judgment by the justice there was nu appeal to tho Su perior Court. Held: That an appeal wonld lie in tho cause, sinoe tho principtl sum claimed in tho suit, with interest due thereon, exceeded $50. Judgment affirmed. Miller vs. Medlock. Appeal, from Gwin nett. Scrim, J.—1. Although one may be the movant in having a land lino run by pro- ccssionors, yet ho is not thereby prevented from objecting to such line wlion it is ran. Judgment reversed. Tyson vs. tbe State. Maider. from Schley. Spaeb, J.—1. It was not error for tho court to charge: “ If you believe from tho ovidenco that these men were en gaged in a rencontre, and that Wimbish as sailed Tyson and that Tyson met him and took from nim an axe, a weapon likely to produce doatb, while engaged in the ren contre and pursued it further, and thou in that Tyson took the life of Wimbish, it is tor you to say, from tho evidonco and cir cumstances, and what yon believe to be tho truth, what was tho crime,” etc. The charge does not intimate that tho accnsed pursued the deceased, bat the meaning is if he pursued the renconLe, that is contin ued the contest. 2. The verdict and charge are supported by tho evidence. Judgment affirmed. Soathem Music Honse. TueVor vs. Ball, adminisLatrix, etc. Com plaint, from Dougherty. Sfeeb, J.—1. Where a contract was made between a father afid son, that in consideration of a conveyance of certain property to the soil, tho latter would sup- >ort and maintain his sister during her ife, and after the death of the father, the sister married and with her husband agreed that a certain sam should be paid in lien of the support referred to, part of which sum was actually paid: Held, that such new ment iu this paper. the city.
