Judge Goodenow.

Tho March term Of the Supreme Judicial
Court far Oxford County, which had just
closed was holden by Mr.. Justice Daniel
Goodenow. We believe VIC but express tho
opinion of the bar, the jurors and oil parties
concerned when we say that no presided to
their satisfaction. lIo patiently heard oil
parties that desired to try their causes, while
his charges to the jurics were clear and inn
partial. Judge Goodenow has the happy
faculty of dispoSing of large number Of
causes in u comparatively short period oil
time. His practical suggestions TO parties,
to dispose of their cases by amicable arrange
mcnts, reference and otherwise, has an ex-
cellent effect in softening down the asperities
of litigating parties. Profting by such
well.timcd suggestions, they often conccnt
to amicable arrangements, thereby restoring
friendly feelings between hostile litigants,
and saving to themselves large amount
which would outherwisc DO thrown away in

authoritatively that the vessels sent South are
destined to Charleston to relieve Maj. Ander-

val Of the fleet of Charleston harbor, one OF
the steamers carrying provisions will be sent
forward to Fort Sumter. II unmolested, there
will be no collision. On the contrary, II At

principle, he called on Mr.. Warren, OF the
Negative, (Republican)for his. Mr.. Warren
then took the floor and in playful manner
told an anacdote to illustrate Mr. Weymouth
argument. This brought the great constitu-

Southern Field and Pircside: We quote !" A
good large turnip is far better than any hot
bed for propagating early tomatoes. Cut of
the top and scoop out to shell three quarters
Of m inch thick. Fill the cavity with rich
mould, plant half q dozen seeds, and place the
turnip in o box Of loan. Keep in warm
room, by IN east window II possible, and
sprinkle with tepid water every day until there
Is longer any danger from the frost, when re-
move the turnip to the outdoor bed; and thin
ont all but one plant. Should the turnip send
out roots, pinch them of, and THE shell will
soon rot, affording fertilizer to the tomato
plant that will soon send 1t ahead wonderfully
A dozen turnips thus tomatoized will afford an
abundant supply Of early tomatoes for an or
