Richey’s barn was discovered to be on fire by one of the tenants on the place who ran over and aroused Mr. Richey. The fire originated in the fodder loft over ihe stables, and w hen first seen was about bursting through one end of .he roof as large as the flame of a brush heap. The building was consumed in a few minutes, together with two mules and one or two thousand bundles of fodder. Mr. Richey was slightly burned about the head and face in trying to rescue his stock from the burning building. The los< falls heavily upon Mr. Richey just, at this time of the year when stock are needed so much. The burning was evidently the act of an incendiary, CATARRH CURED.

A Novel Trial. Mr. Martin, of Bulks county had Lawrence Smith arrested for dispos ing of the crops raised by him rs cropper. The trial erme up the 27 th inst. at the Glade’s court ground in Hull county. An old time Justice presided. Oscar Brown Esq. represented the State and Col. C. R. Faulkner the de fendant. Three witnesses were offered for the state to piwe the defendant had disposed of a portion of the crops raised by defendant as cropper of Martin. Defendant stated that lie had car ried away a pait of the crops aid hadn't paid tho rent or for the goods furnished him. Next were tho speeches by the law yers, and when reference was made to the Supreme court and especially Judge Bleckley, the presiding oflice r ordered the Bailiff to call Bleckley as lie would be the highest evidence of his own law After several calls by the bailiff and no answer the honora ble Justice said he would not accept any law without proof that there were so many newspapers and books on pol l.ics that lied that be would not listen to any lawyer, and if the fellow who reads it was not willing to swear that the books was the law, he would re fuse to acespt it, and would fine any man who attempted to read further. No more law was allowed and the speeches were only made from the facts. The lawyers refused to swear. In making up his decision his hon or, said he was satisfied the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as he admitted that lie carried away a part of the crop without paying rent and for his rrlions and without con sent of his landlord but lie didn’t want to bind him over. That lie knew the law and what his business was, and that bis business was not to bind him over right then, that lie had never sent a man to Gainesville that the court did not convict. The Justice said : “I further charge that unless the defendant brings back the cotton and corn he stole of Mur tins however by next Saturday I’ll have to bind him over, if he does I’ll dismiss the warrant. I therefore or der the baiinT'lo hoM him until be brings the crop up. I would hate in sentence a man if he can replace what he has taken from his neighbor,” The Justice then adjourned his court. After a private consultation with the defendant, and his attorney down at a buggy, the Justice cried out he would dismiss the warrant, that he had said lie didntto want bind him over and that defendant was a brother populist and nlliaceman and he just couldn’t go ngin him conscientiously.
