The County Court.

For the present month. had no business of i'm
portanee before it, and we will not trouble the rea
der with its proceedings. The time of the county
court, for several months, has been devoted prin-
cipally sthe consideration of controversies con
corning the ownership of horses ''pressed'' during
the and transferred from one party to another
until it difficult to identify the original pro-
prietor to the examination and committal of no.
torious horse thieves to the adjustment ofdsputes
about public and private roads; to the solemn
task of deciding the difference insthe valuation of
a deadsdogs skin and live member of the canine
race, aRd whoswas the righttul owner of the dog,
ante norton, and what became of the skin after
death, whether ten cents was suitable reward
for killing the dog, and if so, why; to the ascer-
tanning of the true valuation of obligations and
contracts made during the war, in the present de-
precated currency; to the adjustment Of conflict
ing claims about cattle, hogs, &c. In fact, our
county courts have labored hard, at successive
terms, to adjust, settle and decide hundreds of
perplexing and knotty questions of the nature and
character named.

A MARRYING Man in Troub lie.


The last Rockingham Register gives long
count of a case of bigamy in which Samuel Hall,
Familiarity known in the community as CDR. Dom
ini,' is the most conspicuous actor. He had been
for some time keeping a.colored lady Of respecta-
'bla standing. not exactly as his wife, in the Ic
gal sense, but sort of concubinical conven-
fence, just Brigham Young keeps his spiritual
iwives., Samuel, however, for some cause 9TH
er, became dissatisfied, or Disguised perhaps with
50 uncertain condition, determined to get mar
ri-d in real earnest to captivating daughter of a
respectable widow of that place. And he did. But
eth. of true love- with Samuel, as with
many others, did not 'run smooth" No, he had
olaunched his rail barque upon the bosom Of the tenn
pestuous of trouble His former wife, so-called,
claimed that Samuel had not only lived with her,
but that he was her lawful husband. Whereupon,
upon her complaint, DIR. Domini'' was arrested
and taken before justice, who having heard. the
e tc.timony in the case, committed him to answer
ito the charge before Judge Harris at the next
term of the circuit court for that caunty. Colored
gentlemen must be careful how they trife
with the fair sex they will get into trouble.

Distribution,

We would call attention to the opinion of one of
the leading papers OF Canada on this subject.
Most of our readers have no doubt read some of
the numerous advertisements Of Gift enterprises
Gilt Concerts, &c, which appear from time to
time in the public prints, offering most tempting
bargains to those who will patronize them In
most eases these are genuine humbugs. But there
area few respectable firms who do business in this
manner and they do it as a means of increasing
their wholesale business and not to make money
From such firms, it is true, handsome and yaua-
hie articles are procured for very small sum, and
%hat Is more important, is ever cheated.
Every person gets good value for his dollar be-
cause, AS we have stated, it is intended to act as an
advertisement to increase their ordinary business
We have seen numbers of prizes sent out in this
way by Sherman, Watson & Company of Nassau
street, New York, and there is no doubt that some
OF the articles are worth eight or ten times the
money paid for them, while we have not seen or
heard OF single article which was not fully worth
the dollar which it cost. But this is only one of
the exceptions ofthis rule, for as general thing
the parties engaged iii this business are nothing
but clever swindlcrs-( Saturday Reader, Mon
