Unusual Incidents at Court. There bave been two cr three incidents during the present term of our Circuit Court which bave relieved the dull monotony of the proceedings somewhat.

The first one was a caa wherein th plaintiff had obtained a judgment in a Justice's court f'r $1.50 for labor performed. Tbe case was brought to the ircuit Court by the defendant, who was represented by to well-know lawyers of the county; one of whom has had a vast amount of practice in the Supreme Court. The case was called, but no plaintiff appeared and the appellee demanded judgment by default. The Sheriff was ordered to call his name three times in open court. One call no answer, two calls no answer, but upon the third call, TJ1VIOIV, IX GUTTElvirsU.

F. HAM ANN. Pastor AUGUST BAUR, UNION AR Has on hand a supjdy of HEADSTONES AM) MONUMENTS. Which he will engrave in thf most artistic manner, trom tne audience came a voice clear and loud, "Here," and a form arose and marched up to tbe bar. The man bore the marks of "hard times in his whole "make-up." His old wool bat was carried beneath bis right arm pit, bis shoes were but the shadow of the substance, all bis toes were visible through the old rags which answered tor socks.

The was a most conspicuous patch on that part of hi i anato my where a fond and loving nolh er bad once used the slipper. With all he was as sorry a looking speci men as ever was before a bar of justice. Outside enquiry devel oped the fact that he bad walked twenty-gve miles, bis dinner bad been eaten by tbe side of a branch from which he had drank water by lying flat upon his stomach. As he stood before the Court the following dialogue took place be- ween the Judge and him Judge Are you the plaintiff in this suit 'I am sir." Judge: "Where is your lawyer?" "Hain't got none." Why not?" '-Too poor to hire one." "Are yOu ready for trial "I am sir." "Where are your witnesses?" "II at n't got none but mself." Whereupon the Clerk was ordered to swear the plaintiff who took tne witness stand and to'J his story, was cross-examined by the 1wo attorneys who were prompted by their client. After his statement the defendant was put upon the stand and made his statement and introduced other testimony in support of his side.

The case was concluded by the plaintiff making the closin argument with his hat still held up under h's arm. The Judge then rendered a verdict in his favor for $1.25. The two prominent lawyers had saved twenty-five cents for their client But the plaintiff in the case had disap peared as suddenly and as silently as he had appeared and is now probably fishing out on the Mera- mec, aii' I doubtless will Ion? re member his first appearance in Court. For urther particulars of this case we would refer our read ers to Jimmie Jones, of Washing ton- The case of Annie Baker, alias Annie Ma Foo, was a case that attracted much attention, alike from the horrible nature of the crime charged and because a Chinaman was one of the main witnesses in the case. The woman is white, but had married a hinese laundrymen, with whom she is living, and by wh in she has one child, a little girl, who was with her in Court.

She was indicted for throwing a strong solution of lye into the eyes of a little boy who as passing the laundry and nd stopped to look in. Tbe boy is a very pleasant looking child, but totally blind from the effects of the crime or accident. The evidence of the State was to show that the boy was a perfect stranger to the defendant, and through childish curiosity had stopped to look in at the Chinaman when the woman rushed upon him and in an angry manner threw the lye into the little bojs i-ycs. The defense was that the woman threw some waste lye or strong soap suds. which had been using, out of the door not knowin any one was there The trial lasted the greater part of two daj's, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty and as sessed the punishment at five year in the penitentiary An appeal to the Supreme "ourt has been taken It does not seem possible that a woman could be so low as to be capable of dashing lye purposely into the eyes of an innocent child and blinding him, the crime is too horrible to think about.

Un der provocation the woman might hav thrown the lye at the child without rear zing its consequences, but even should the fluid bave been thrown as the defense say, their should be some punishment for the carelessness. The Chinaman was introduced to prove that the wom an was married to the other Chinaman. Marriage License Louis Reese. New Haven, to Ellen Folenius. Holstein.
