We were led into an error IN orr report
of Court Proceedings last week, in the
matter of the case of Ben Bolt and George
Harris removed to Hartford, by advice of
their counsel contrary to the wishes of the
parties indicted Bolt seems to have halted
between two opinions but Harris was firm
in his wishes to have his case removed, and
it was at the request of the culprits them
selves uninfuenccd by Counsel, that theil
trial was removed. We are sorry such a
mistatement got into our report Of proceed
ings and take the earliest opportunity to
correct it.

New Jail and Old Court Housa,-Tl

New Jail and Old Court House.-The
County Commissioners express their inten-
ton to commence preliminary operations
toward the erection of a new Jail for the
county, at an early day. The site which
appears to he most in favor for the new
prison, is the rear, or east end of the lot on
which the Jail is now situate, with side
street opening ON North street. and LEADING
to the new Jail. That part of the lot now
occupied by the present unsightly pile will
be left vacant when divest of the walls and
building which now occupy it, and will be
a most valuable lot, either to erect a Court
House Oh at some future time or sell as
the county government may sec proper
The above location has advantages which
appear to incline the Commissioners toward
it, but the question of location has not vet.
we believe, been definitely determined.
At present the idea of the Commissioners
appears to be, to enlarge the Court House,
by including the space now occupied by the
sheriff's office. and repair and modernize
the whole building. But nothing definite,
in regard to the Court House, has yet been
determined, though we think it may be set
down as fixed fact, that our county build
ings are about to receive the attention
which they have long needed. Our present
Copperhead Board of County Commission
ers are, one and all, live, practical businc SIS
men, and seem disposed to ''push things =
in the right direction.

HydrophOba.-For two weeks past we
have published reports of the depredations
committed by dogs, afflicted with this NAL
ady, in Sassafras Neck, this county. From
still later intelligence we learn that the in
lection was more widespread, and the in
jury done much greater, than we had reason
to suppose, as many as six persons having
been bitten, besides numerous quadrupeds.
We are glad to hear that in all cases where
persons have been bitten, such remedies
have been procured as that the result will
not prove disastrous.

Mr. Sloan looking out of the window saw
light from the fire and fastening down to
