the third Monday in this mouth to some

We think the editor Of that paper
speaks hastily, for there is as yet moth
ing on the taps to justify such an
assertion. There il DO reason for the
courts being adjourned The business
to be transacted has already unavoid-
ably suffered for want Of attention,
and we feel satisfied that the Judge
will not adjourn again, because the
town ''has been" unhealthy. There
is no fear now expressed on the part
ofcountry people to come to town, and
there are matters to come before the
Court that should be disposed Of,
The only reason that could possibly
be urged for another adjournment,
might be that the planters have to gath
