SUPREME JUDICIAL CoURT. On the 9Th inst
! was closed the longest session of the Supreme
Court ever held in this town, having commenc-
ed on the 18th ult. Notwithstanding the length
of the session, the business was so arranged as
TO keep but few parties or witnesses in attend
ance at any one time, so that, had it not been
for the ringing of the bell, we should hardly
have perceived that Court was sitting. Chief
Justice Parker presided the whole term, during
which, the patience, diligence, and profound le-
gal knowledge, which so eminently qualify him
for the station he occupies it is said, werc strik
ingly displayed. All the business on the dock
ct was finally disposed of, except in one case
where the jury could not agree, and few cases
continued for legal causes.
There were rendered twenty-three verdicts
on trials of civil actions, and six convictions for
criminal offences The most important of the
latter were, John w Field, for larceny in the
House of Correction, where he was under SEN
tence on a former conviction for larceny He
was sentenced, on this conviction, to solitary
imprisonment three days, and to confinement to
hard labor in the State Prison one year
Jonah Spaulding, for maliciously setting fire
| to, and burning the carpenters shop of Zacha-
( riah Sheldon in Fitchburg. Sentence-solitary
imprisonment three days, and confinement to
hard labor in the State Prison three years

THE SEASON. The early opening of spring,
and commencement of vegetation, caused fears
that fruit trees might come forward SO that the
fruit would be endangered from the frost The
elm trees lowered in March, and other kinds
were proportionably forward. But the month
of April was COOL attended, however, with but
little frost, and vegetation was retarded so that
it is not now more forward than in the average
of years. The peach, plum, cherry and pear,
have blossomed very full, and give promise of
yielding fruit abundantly, the danger from frost
being chiefly past. The apple trees are just
putting forth their flowers, and appear like
poisoning full Grass ground, newly seeded
down, is winter killed in some places; other
wise grass looks wen, though the spring has
been dricr than is best for it.
