T.iim County Circuit Court adjourned on

three weeks, the docket was not cleared.
As we stated in our last number, a special
grand jury was selected from the attend
ant petit jury, to examine into the charge
of murder, preferred against Frank Re Id
for the killing of Simonds, at Sweet Home.
The grand jury returned a verdict of mur
der against Reid, and he was remanded to
jail. To save the expense ot a long incar
ceration, it is believed Judge Harding will
call a special session next January to try
this case and clear off the docket.

A Catastrophe
-More or Xtts so.
We re ally dou't know whether the story
we are going to relate is true or otherwise,
and it may be as well right here to state
that we don't care a hooter. We got it
seeondlmnded, but we propose to tell It
as we got it. if it costs a second-hand law
suit. That's the racket. Tlie story goes
that a young and handsome female who
lives on street, was the possessor ot a
sweet, white, high-toned kitten. It "was
the smartest, cunningest lightning-striker
of a cat in the entire feline business. Some
fraud of a young man. with a light mus
tache had told the young lady that by
dosing the cat with whisky its growth
would stop there and then that it would
always remain a. little, handsome, smart
kitten, to the'enfl of its well, untlllt got
old enough to wark up into sausage and
Italian fiddle strings. The otfler morning
there was no one at home, and the hand
some young lady concluded to try the
whisky experiment on kitty. We don't
like to tell what followed, buta journal de
vote! to the dissemination of knowledge
should be fearless and even reckless in
withholding nothing from its readers
except facts therefore we rush along with
the ower true tale of a kitten regardless of
taste or expense : The j-oung and beaut i
4jhl damsel procured the whisky, corraled.
the kitten, locked all the doors, and pro
ceeded to dose the feline. It was a strug
gle, as the pet didn't like to take whisky,
being a blue ribboner; but the careful dose
was eventually forced down kitty's throat,
and the subject of coercion dropped on the
floor, and the aforementioned yonng lady
stepped back to see the fun. As the dose
took effect Instatiter tlie "fun" wasn't
delayed a moment. The cat looked as
though it had seen its grandmother's
ghost and was crazed at the sight for It
sprang around that room like greased
lightning, probably in search of a barroom,
so fast that nothing but a white strcake ot
fur could be seen for a few moments, when
it gave a yell ard leaped on to the piano,
tea ling the cover off and filling head first
into the slop-bucket which, unfortunately,
had not been taken from tlie room ; from
thence it flew in its rage and terror upon
tlie what-not, knocking the handsome
vases, etc., on to the floor in an awful
smash ; cat. card pictures, books, work
boxes and clock all went madly crashing
to the floor at once, when, with an ear
splittlrg yowl, the cat.with tail erect,
reached for the stand containing the flower
pots, scattering them pell-mell in every
direction; continuing its circus perform
ance, the centre-table was knocked galley
west, the mantle devasfed, the looking
glass knocked endways and broken into a
"tine business," the lace window curtains
torn down, and things generally turned
topsy-tnrvey ; and seemingly having lost
all sense of propriety, aiid seeing nothing
else to destroy, It gave one lofty bound,
landing on the young lady's white neck,
where it be ran making long furrows down
her back, when tlie aforementioned young
lady Began cavorting in such a style as
probably never was equaled In the grand
can-can, eventually reaching the door,
where lady and kitten struck the sidewalk,
.both ahead, amid the awfulest caterwaul
ing' and maiden shrieks that ever greeted
the air of a calm, staid, peaceful city. It
was a tragic-comedy of the loudest kind.
Tlie damsef arose with as much sudden
ness as she came out, and pulled down her
vest ; a white streak - in the air, and the
kitten was gone. As we said, tlie young
lady arose with great dignity, and repaired
with no unnecessary delay to her room, to
speak out her mind in regard to the young
man with the light mustache nothing
more. We don't propose to vouch for the
truth of this tale ; une thing Is certain, the
experiment was a success of the grandest
kind. The pet kitten never returned it's
the deadest cat anywhere. Finis.
