The summer term Of our Circuit Court com
Imcnces on Monday next, June lst. Our cltl
Gems are anticipating very large time there!t,
and I suppose some account of our great OK,
pectations' may be interesting. The business
of the Court itself will necessarily be heavy
There are three persons awaiting trial for muir
der, sig for, horse-stealipg, two Tor an unmen-
tionablo crime, and several for lesser offences !;
and there are many important civil eases, some
that have been score Of years on the docket,
now set for peremptory trial.
The ladies of the Memorial Association"
will relieve the arduous hours Of business by q
festival which will doubtless be-a it ought to
be! The beautiful cemetery which they have
prepared by their noble efforts, now being filed
with the graves OF the heroes who died tor
them, will be an eterDal monument to their de-
votion, and We trust that their continued eyer
tons Tor its further adornment will te literally
rewarded. # there is one thing Fairfax IS Gel
ebrated for (besides dogs and Mount Vermont
it is, lit being pronoun of multitude, remem-
member) it is its pretty girls, and il those who
attend that festival are not rewarded by plenty
Of good things to eat, and the prettlest kind OF

Nor will there be wanting to our visitor of q
stronger persuasion than ice cream, &c, the
means of delightful indulgence We defy your
city to produce place which, for summer de-
lights of the liquid gender, can compare with
the Metropolitan Saloon of Mr. Amos Fox. Ii
YOU have one, [ have never stumbled On 1T.
Mr.. Fox has Just fitted up his saloon in really
excellent style and GARLAND for cool, pleas,
ant, commodous retreat, it Vles with the best
of its kind The best Of liquors are there las

of Condiments" and a proprietor whose &C
commodating spirit is unsurpassed Since such
things must needs be, long may he wave"
In fact our citizens arc all waking up and
seeming to realize that :'the eyes Of all Della,
ware are on them. Our village has been re-
iuvenated from the Big Hotel down to the col
ored schoolhouse-not to mention the jail, and
only excepting the post Office, which IS Gov
ernrncnt' thing, you know, IF any city people
wish to spend few weeks pleasantly IN heal
thy country, hero is the place for them to get
their money back. The county, too which
makes tho town, is greatly looking up. FIue-
yards, orchards, hop-yards are adding their
glories to the wave Of woods and corn heids'
and the bloom Of the rye and II we keep TINS

our lands will be yet worth the price OF the best

But one thing mars the general appearance
Of rejoicing, and the glad exuberance Of the
springy time. Since the death of Impeach-
mcnt his few friends hereabouts have, by their
folorn and sombrc aspect, rather cast bluelsh
tiDgc on their surroundings Fortunately they
are few, aud their haunts and habits are retired
and scdentary- otherwise they might create a
general depression. L trust that time, the great
CONSIDER, will o5Iitcratc their gr;et before next
Monday, as otherwise, the usual kind, and ge-
NAL and handsome smile OF our Common
weath's Attorney may not beam On the sable
prisoners he has then to try, alleviating by It's

vcctivc against those who violate "Fcrginny's'
law .--. PEQUOD.
