Cataw ba Court.
Judge B' ykiu opened Catawbn
court in legal time Monday of last week
with his usual specific ar.d forcible
charge to a grand jury tompoM;d of (
good and lawfubmen, of Ahich C. W,
Herman E>(j. was the foreman. The
Judge had looked over the .-tate
docket, and dwelt with special force
ou some of the crimes which appear
to have bee-u committed H" give
such an explanation of the liquor ia*
that the •• prescription business
must be stopped if the does its duty
In all respects the charge was full,
favorable and so clear that no mem
ber of the jury ceuld fail to compre
hend its meaning, and understand hie
bworn duty. In concluding his
charge the Judge complimented our
county in high termnandtold the ju
ry the Court House was no credit to
such a county, but was sure to create j
an unfavorable aud false impression
against us with strangers visiting or
passing through the county.
There were 51 cases on the state j
docket before any new ones sent up
from Justice's courts since last term j
were added.
The Keever case and some others
were continued and the whole busi
ness criminal and civil, that was ox
.
pected to occupy, two weeks wa-* fin
ished by Friday. The grand jury
found employment till Saturday, and
we learn found much crookednees
,in many place*, to be further iuves
tigated uext court. Judge Boykin
is one of the quickest and most bus
; iness men 011 the bench, and is liked
by all Wut the law breakers.

Wonderful Occurrence*.
I
Wonderful stories have been told
;of a haunted house in Caldwell
j county, some eight miles from tl.u
place. Mr. IV C. Martin was in our
• otlice on Tuesday, and gave us some
■of the particulars. They are won
derful, but wo have not the space to
give them to our readers this week.
The locality is known a* the Mar
tin house, ami about two months
1 ago the grand-daughter of our mfor
r> r
; mailt said there were rocks fulling
in the house. From that time on.
this has continued They were ->een
to fail in the house bv varioun per
-1 sons. Hocks from ten pounds
weight down to H quarter of a
pound. I hev fail apparently from
the roof and do not indent thw floor
like they would do if dropped from
that height. In two instances some
thing resembling a piece of corn
bread fell, and appeared to come
from the comb of the roef. In »oiue
cases tiiev appear to project them
selves frem tne side of the room.
