COuRr PRocrEDIyGs.-Owin to the ad-
journment of tho Civil Lis. made some time
ago, on account of the small pox, and the
panic which seems to have seized so many of
our country friends on the same account, the
last term Of court was the smallest of any
that We have had for years. But twelve of
the Grand Jurors answered to their names.
This Is the minimum number and as there can
be no bill found without the consent of at
least t~elcs Grand Jurors it required the con
sent OF ercry man, 1t was probably the small
est Grand Jury, in point of numbers, as the
Judge remarked, ever empannelled in the
county. The business before them was of
trifing character. When we consider the
number and heinosness ofthe crimes commit
ted in the adjoining counties. this speaks we'll
for the morals Of our own Too or three of
the alleged crimes being mere neishborhood
broils which law suit always intensilies, sell
dom pacifcs, no bills were found.
Atrue bill was found against a couple of
colored boys for the whipping of another boy.
The Jury found the boys guilty of assault and
battery, no words being deemed sufficient to
justify an assault. The court then sentenced
the defendant to pay fine of one dollar and
the costs Of prosecution
Slater 0denbaugh plead guilty to an indict-
ment found at June term, for selling liquor
without license-was fined $40 and costs
A number of petitions for license to keep
sa'iug houses were presented We understand
that the President Judge was opposed to the
granting Of the same, remarking that no fam
lily of boys are safe within five miles of the
destructive influence of these places Under
thcprctcnce Of keeping an eating house they
almost invariably keep tipling house. And
If they even do conanc. themselves to the
sale of "small drinks" 50 called, taste is
cultivated-for something stronger. The As
sociste Judges, however, were of different
opinion-or at least pretended to be--and
oyerrulcd the Judge in a number of the cases
The usual amount of Orphans Court bust
ness, SC, was transacted and at Wednesday
