March TERM.-Wc learn that no
jurors will be drawn for March Term
Of our Court, and that therefore, there
will be no canscs tried. The argu.
ment list will be debated, licenses
granted, and such other business as
can be disposed Off without u jury.
We also learn that the regular
Common Pleas term commencing on
the 4th Monday Of May, will hereafter
be held on the FIRST Monday of juno,
at which timo a three weeks term
has been ordered. We will therefore
have three weeks court in june, for

As this is after the flood and corn
planting time and before harvest, all
can certainly be ready for a three
weeks legal siege.
