Esq. Summey's Codrt. Our judicial and judicious neigh bor, Justice Summey had some im portant cases before him yesterday. The first was the case of - the State against John Sellers, for assault with intent to commit rape, and assault ! with a deadly weapon.' Sellers lives in Buncombe, near Alexander. Some six or eight week3 ago, .it is charged, he made an assault upon his wife's sister, a young . womari named Malinda Wise, with criminal intent. She brought to her defense, as a persuader, a goodly -sized billet ol wood, which she let fall with he roic energy upon the receding por tion of his frontal cranium. ; Irrita ted at this resistence, he -plunged a knife into her, penetrating, danger ously, her lower left side. Sellers fort with had an engagement in the historic coves" of our sister State, Tennessee; but; a day or ; two ago, reckoning upon his freedom for so long ventured back.- to the ; Warm Springs, and began - making violent threats as to what he would do if an attempt was made to arrest him, and, as charged by his wife, threatened to 'cuthw wije'8 heart out." Sheriff Rich was, notified of his ..n essence and he forthiv-ith'cteDutiea a party to arrest him," which was done, and. he was brought up yesterday,' and was,' by Esq.. Summey, committed to jail to await hearing, lle was therefore conducted to jail bythe Sheriff. 'Sellers has the reputation of being a very'bad and dangerous man. . He certainly, looks it . . The next : "two ' - cases , were Mconsarnn, of a little h6gP' It was' brought from Ivy township to be heard before Esqs. Joel Brigman and Summey jointly. - The r defen dants were J .

Yesterday -Pinckney Williams charged with an affray, was convicted, Mr. J. H. Merrimon assisting the .State, and Mr. F. A, Sondley representing the defense The afternoon was devoted to an an alarming case. A man was tried for not "adequately supporting" the gentle, loving Mite of his bosom and a numerous and promising offspring. The case was very ably Jargued bv Mr. C. A. Moore, for the defense. and Mr. H. A. Gudger for the State. Both of these gentlemen being mar ried men and happy fathers, were well calculated to become interest ed in'eith er'side, of the case; but the alarming effect of the trial and argu ments was manifest upon the young bachelor Judge who, while verv impartial and forcible in his charge, showed strongly the mental distur bance with, which he was suffering. It is needless to say there were oth- - . ers, who have more experience than the Judge, who left tho courthouse with more or less "alarm at ther a- ture of the .indictment, that men have ' . gotten to be punished for not' '"adequately " support ing; their - families.

RESPONSE TO "TAX-PAYER. " Asheville, N. C, Jan. 28, 188G. Editors Citizen : This morning in look ing over the Advance, I was greatly, sur prised on reading an article entitled "A Word to our City Fathers." The bold ness and originality of offering advice to "pur city fathers" is something that is bound to command the esteem and res pect of bis fellow citizen. We should not, however, allow this , to detract our attention from its -other merits. The main feature in his article ,1 think, is the refreshing vefdancy, the childlike sim plicity of the article. To quote from an esteemed friend in this line of literature he has reached "the erecn sward on the acme of the cupola." The simplicity of the article is so striking that on coining to his signature of fcTax Payei" I could not help but wonder if he had ever paid j any tax on school books. Now, my friend, talking of your signature I do think that you are just a little egotistical in signing yourself "Tax Payer." This nam de plume-by commonconsent is the private property of " .bcononiiet" nis taxes being so vast that the tax collector after a year's work has not yet collected them. . Why not sign like this (his X mark). . This signature will affiliate with your style of writing, r - Another sinking feature of your article is the ease with which it can be made to fit either side of the great political dis cussion of the day. Now I am willing to admit that as a "word to our city fathers" it is excellent, but I think that it would gain ths most laurels as an argument either pro or con on the high tariff issue, iao civil service reiorm or in iacc any thing else. After Congress has adjourn ed you can then use it as a lecture on temperance or - any other subject that struck your fancy. If -you don't like to travel don t let this deter you. Deliver it in a town and you will be surprised how quick you will cultivate a taste for travel. j he energy with which you will strike a bee-line for some other place will be no lees a gratification to your friends than a enrprise to ryourself. If however, you are satisfied with lauiels already won, why not get the town to lay a pipe from the reservoir to the Smith's bridire, and give you and Economist the job of blow ng the water up town. As either one of you are perfectly capable of perform ing the job alone. Economist could do the blowing while you run the town, and you could do the' work while he was "figuring" in the sand to find out if he owned $5,000 worth of property and the tax was . ninety cents, (which he had never paid,?)and the town authorities threw away $20,000-' every year. How much of his money was thrown away? This is only offered as a suggestion. I notice that with - a modesty that does you credit that you say that "a gentle man of extensive travel and information, informs you &c, Ac Now Mr. Tax payer you can't hide your light under a bushel . I am the only gentleman of that descrip tion m town, and 1 must decline to ac knowledge being the originator of the ideas Dut into such lovely language by you. -To your brilliant intellect, and to you alone does the honor belong. You have, however, made a few mistakes to which I would like to call "your atten tion. You seem to think that the $3,000 that the town is thinking of investing in Electric Light, includes the purchase of the inacninery, the Standard Oil Co., the R&D Syndicate and a few : other trifles. Vi There you are mi&taken. The $3,000 is only an . annual rental )or th lights. Then you say do away with the bonded debt and make the French Broad do the work. - Now tln Electric Light Machine , &c. , will cost"$25,000. Dam, pumpr water main, etc, $83,000 Will Tax Payer tell me where this money is. to come from ? Possibly - out oi his taxes.
