The County Court have adjourned until the

length Of the criminal docket, the coctt had
little time to attend to the large number OF
civil eases which awaited its action This b as
bean, probably, the most arduous session of a
County Court ever held in Alexandria.
Early in the week an ARRAY took place at
the Pioneer Mills. A man named Dennis
MeMarn, had some words With Mr.. r. Wind
sur, of Fairfax, which led to blows, by which
the lister was much injured. The sons of the
latter, on Tuesday evening, assaulted Nc.
Mani, and he was seriously injured, as was
also a brother in-law of Windsor, named Gar
