HAMPSHIRE CIRCUIT COURT.-This
Court was in session but three days.
The Judge, We understand, did not
reach Romney until Tuesday afternoon,
the Sd inst, and was Suddenly taken
with learing on Friday .foliOcing. This,
it does seem 10 us, Is objectionable.
This man has not held court in lamp
shire more than week at any one time
since he was imposed upon the people
by the Governor. The business of the
Court is suffering for the want of some
one to hold the Court long enough to
dispose of it. He ought to be able to
stay away from home that long. He
ought to remember that he occupies a
position which demands it.-MOOrefeld

Yesterday was q good day for sports
men, hereabouts. The air was literally
full of wild pi pigeons, wingipg their way
northward, bearing the glad tidings of
returning spring. We have never seen
them in such quantities before. From
early morning until dark, they passed
in an almost unbreken drove, presenting
themselves within fair shooting distance
