ACCIDENT. We learned at a late
hour last night that team of mules
attached to a wagon, while being
driven to this city to the market,
when just about to enter the Frank

scared and backed down over the en-
bankment. What damage, if any.
was occasioned, we did not learn, but
would suppose the accident to be a
serious one, as the embankment Is
quite high.

this meeting regarding it = matter Of vast i'm

FAIRFAX c. H., Va, May. Il lSG9.--Our
County Court is now in session aud probably
will continue to "hold its term" for several
DAYS, as large portion Of our new Judiciary so
called never made three dollars per diem I'M
til they were promoted to the august positions
of Judges of a pie paudrc" court.
The great question OF the day has been one
granting licenses to sell by retail ardent spirits
The court first seemed under the impression,
that they had the power % do what the leg Is
lature of the State had never done. that Is to
pass sumptuary laws for the good people oil
our COUNTY, or in other words, to adopt i
"Maine Liquor Law" Acting under this
idea, they rejected the fir, application that
was made for an ordinary license, although
it came from our esteemed citizen Col. Tyler,
| whose hotel at this place is renowned Tor Its
comfort, and its quiet and decorum. Mr..
| Dulany of your city, and Col. Ball OF Baltimore
addressed the court in elaborate argument IN
favor OF granting licenses to those persons who
came within the purview of the law, c. those
who could keep a hotel" and were men OF
'honesty, probty, and good demeanor. The
court therefore reconsidered its action and, by
| a small majority, granted licenses to all who
came within the qualifications aforesaid only
rejecting two. one, the keeper Of the white
House Pavilion" and the other,a man by the
name of Hutchinson of Pleasant Valley,
the former because OF protest signed by the
citizens OF his vicinity, and the latter because
he sold whiskey to "niggers". Pretty good
doings" for court who insists upon negro
equality.
There were several land sales at fair prices.
"Combe Cottage" the residence OF the late
DR.. Baker, was sold by MesSts. Moore, Love
and Dulany, as commissioners, to Captain IL.
| &. Fairfax, for $4,000. The court being IN

transacted IF anything else of importance
occurs during the session OF the court, vii
