From the HiIisborough Recorder

County Matters. The February Term of Or.
ange County Court was held in the new court
house,-a building which for neatness of design,
convenience of arrangement and Eaithfuinrss in
execution, is not surpassed by any court house in
the State; and we may say, the authority of
others whose observations have been more extend
ed that it is perhaps not surpassed in the Union.
1t should be matter of peculiar pride to the cifl-
zcns OF Orange that the architect and builder,
Capt John Berry, is a native of our county as
we doubt not 1t is, if NAV Judge from the
promptness with which the Magistrates of the
county responded TO the memorial of Can't Berry
and voted him an allowance of two thousand dol
lars above the amount agreed upon liz the written
contract-making ten thousand dollars in all for
the superb and handsome structure which he has
erected for the county. The additional allowance
is to be paid in September of '48 and 40. Itmav
be proper to state, for the satisfaction of those who
were not present, that the memorial showed that
l4OO dollars had been expended for materials in
the building, which were not mentioned in the
specifications upon which the contract was made.
that in many cases he departed from the sneci6'
cations at considerable expense for the purnose of
improving the building-such, for instance as nut
ting stone capitals 10 the columns instead of wood
&c; that IN the item of tin for the covering. he
had estimated the cost at six dollars per box. but
from rise in the price, he had to paw ten that
IN several items his estimate of materials fell con-
sIderably short of the amount actually required
and that the building was raised four feet HIGHER
than contemplated in the original design. The
original estimate of the cost of the building was
9,055 dollars but the committee not being author.
izcd to contract for more than 5000 dollars. Capt
Berry determined to take it at that, and suffer the
loss, rather than let the contract 90 out of the
county. AS he has been faithful in executing the
work, the Magistrates manifested determination
that ne should receive an adequate compensation
ior his services while working for the county of
Orange. t-.. VI
