THE Criminal Court, which has
been In session for nearly three weeks,
will, we learn, adjourn to-day. The
Judge and Attorney General deserve
credit for putting through large
amount Of business. They have
nearly emptied the jail, but only to be
refilled by the next term. The peo-
pie are getting soreiy tired Of the ex-
acting jury service and the constant
ly increasing debt heaped upon honest
men for the punishment Of criminals.
The Legislature Is earnestly appealed
to for some more summary mode of
furnishing crime than Is afforded by
the troublesome mode now IN force.

Thoroughly Renovated.

Col. CLEMENT MARCH, of New Hampshire,
having purchased the commodous and beauti-
full homestead of the late T. c. Washington,
ESQ, few miles distant from town, with lawns,
grounds. &c. attached, has had the whole tho
roughly renovated aud improved. The van
dalism of the war and the natural decay OF this
palatal country seat had considerably impaired
its appearance of former days, bit the Colonel,
by liberal expenditure Of means and great
good taste in its distribution, will soon restore
the whole to its %onted attractiveness. twas
our pleasure last week TO make a thorough eS-
animation of the numerous improvements
made, and find all executed with an eye to per-
manency as well as appearance. The main
hoaseis 2l5 #. long, stories high, contains %
rooms with all the necessary modern conve-
niences. The carpentering work, necessary to
its complete repair, was executed by Mr.. b.
Lloyd, the plastering by Messrs. Gailaher and
the painting by Messrs Davis & Conner. In
the painting, the gentlemen having the matter
in charge, introduced several new styles Of or
namental finish, and tho artistic skill displayed
ELECTS universal commentator. The Colonel
we learn, will soon be domiced in his new
quarters, and we hope he may enjoy in the fu-
ture many years Of health, happiness and pros
pcrity.-SpY4.
