EUREKA CORRESPONDENCE.


EUREKA, May 2s. 1873.
In the memory of the oldest inhabitant no
such stormy and disagreeable weather has been
known in these parts as has been the fact during
the month now passing. However, it is pre-
sumable case that June may in great measure
make amends for the Inconvenience and dis
comfort lately suffered.
OF course the principal feature of attraction
has been and still is the case Of Consolidated VS..
Richmond. Hundreds of visitors are to be daily
seen congregated at the Court House, listening
to the disquisitions Of the learned counsel on
either side ON points of law, or getting some
poor devil of witness into an awkward corner
and keeping him in hot water long enough to
make HIM think he don't know anything about
a case which before appearing on the stand was
well posted on. Judge Mchenney presides with
his usual impartiality. aud his rulings are dis
tinguished by an evident desire On his part to
mete out justice to the best Of his ability. He
Is assisted in his arduous duties by Judge W. H.
Beatty, OF Hamilton, who has been requested to
sit as associate Judge. The gentlemen engaged
In the case seem to get along smoothly, and the
trial will probably go OF without the jarring
and wrangling which disgracel the Raymond =

have the matter in hand. winch fact insures a
perfect success. Fresh flowers will be imported
from California for the occasion in quantities
sufficient to guarantee good display. The
custom now firmly established Of decorating the
graves Of the fallen heroes is certainly lauda-
BILE one, and all are pleased to see it is coming
into general and universal use throughout the
country. BY such means can We do away with
the lingering bitterness ongendered by the late
civil war; and what more beautiful medium
can be used to accomplish the object than the
deleately fragrant blossoms, such as VIII be
scattered over the graves on the 3Oth day of
