RALEran, JAN. B, 1861.


The Judges of the Supreme Court were
again panctually at their post, according to
their; Appointment, after taking short recess
to spend the Christmas holidays with their
families This were all right and proper, and
every way worthy of commentator. Faith
full officers, whose duties are not only onerous
but exceedingly arduous, require at all times
a little respite and relaxation from their labors
the better to enable them to discharge those
duties to the satisfaction Of the public and
with credit to themselves. But Christmas
with it's tine-honored customs in every chris
tian country summons every member of a
family to their respective domestic 'hearths "
and Christmas cheers. We hope this obser-
vance of so good a christian duty by the
Judges, will become established precedent t
in the Court. This week has been devoted to
