TUE CrEculr CouRr.-Juige Irvine
commenced his May term on Saturday
last. It's unfortunate that the Court
should ever be held ut this season of the
year. 1t interferes so materially with
the farming interests that It is to be re.
GREETED that th-re was not enough judg.
msnt, or consideration for those interests,
TO fix different time. This is our plant.
ing season, aud unless We avail ourselves
oft we cannot reap harvest.
FINANCIAL SrMEMENT.--We call at.
tention to the statement Of the finances OF
the Borough, published in another col
umn. This. We understand, is the first
time in the history of Weston rs an in
corporated town, that it has been entire
ly free from debt and had balance in
the treasury. In justice to the retiring
Democratic Board, it must be said to
their everlasting credit that they have la
bored earnestly and faithfully to relieve
the Corporation from the growing debt
left them by the previous radical Board
and have succeeded. The compliment
paid by them to Mr.. Urbach, while it is
no doubt.vcry acceptable to that gentle
man, is no more than he deserves. The
retiring address of the Board, and the
proclamation for an election, will be
found with the statement

Sunday night last, as the people we're
leaving the places Of Worship m yomau
now living in dilnpidated house near
the Episcopal Church, came out, and
shocked and dsgustcd the passers-by
with her indccency and profanity. We
would call,hc attention Of our worthy
Town Sergeant to tho fact, and recon-
mend that he see to the matter at once
for REPETITION of such scene will prob
ably bring about more serious consequent
ces. We understand that this is not the
only house of bad character in town and
we would suggest that all such are prop
orly cared for by the corporate authori-
ties. God knows We have wick"dncss
enough among men, without having bad
women make the matter worse.
TRooLY LolL.-We are informed that
one or two Sundays ago, two gentlemen,
residents of this place-notwitlistanding

We know both Of the persons referred to,

must not be understood rs opposing such
matters as this. On the contrary, we
honor and uphold their consistency. Let
