trifling, and SO not at all meet the case.a few
patches OF carpets about cannot affect the
bad arrangements OF seats, for the Bench,
the Bar, the Juries and spectators. Another
great advantage would be gained by this ad i.
dition to the building-the present structure
has large cracks through It, creating in many
serious apprehensious AZ to its safety and
strength. Now add these rooms, and they
would do much to prevent the cracks or
breaks from cularging, and would tend to
keep firm together the whole building
especially since the pressure against the walls
outward, would be considerably less, if the
weight of the present Jury rooms and gall
lcry be renewed from the upper floor.
With no desire to interfere with the duties
of Others or to intermeddle unwarran table
with the affairs oft.ie District these thoughts
are thrown together as simply suggestive.
tho Court House is the only building in the
District that every one is interested in. There
is not man or woman in all the land, posses
sing the powers of locomotion, but what may
DO forced under Subpoena to attend court and
take the witness stand. Il should, then, by
all means, be comfortable. A good ard con.
yenient Court house should be the pride of
the District, an ornament to the town or viii
lage, and in accordance with the improving
spirit of the age. Let the Judge be comforta-
Bile while presiding over the litigation of our
our citizens. Let the Lawyers have space
and comfort while conducting their cases.
Let the Juries be at ease and free from an
noyancc, while listening to the law and the
testimony" Let clients saved from "tight
squeese-and let the mothers and daughters
and feeble old men who may be compelled
to attend Court, find their ease, comfort and
safety, in some degree attended 10, and urovi-
dcd for, in the Temple ofthr Law, in the Hall
of Justice. DISTRICT PRIDE.

OUR COURT HOUSE.

Acorrespondent in this paper signing him
self" District Pride" brings to the notice of
our citizens the inconvenicnt and comfortlcss
condition of our Court House
The time was. when our Court House was
inferior to none in the State but since that
time appropriations have been made by the
Legislature for the improvement of many.
whilst old buildings have been torn down
and new ones erected that now, ours is far
behind. We direct particular attention to
this communication, and would more espcc-
tally call to it the attention Of our members
to the Legislatnrc.

CAKE.

SOME of our upper country editors are
complaining, that newly married couples
should be so lost to all feelings of gratitude
as to neglect to send the printers fee for
publishing the hymcnial notice. For our
part we are always willing to publish the
notice, cake or no cake, but it is unfortunate
ly our luck sometimes TO be blamed for not
publishing such notices, when the truth
is, they never have been sent TO us we are
expected to hunt up the notice, and publish
too, without pay. This we are not going
to do.

many grievances to redress, that the diff.
ficuIty ofselection is extreme. and every
remission gives almost as much pain as
pleasure, by the disappointment it inflicts
on the advocates Of other rem ssions. In
tho United States the difficulty seems not
to chose which of number of pressing
cases is the most urgent but to find any
pressing cases at all. We congratulate
our transatlantic brethren on the exuber-
ance of their resources, and sincerely
hope that the difficulty of finding a tax to
remit may be the only one which their
Chancellor of the Exchequer will ever
have to encounter.-London Times.
