Hon +. 7. Fox delivered one Of the best
and most touching charges TO the Grand Jury
which NE have ever heard. The court room
was we'll 6lied, and all present listened with
respectful attention. Aiicr giving the usual
matters required Of one in his position, to the
jury, he said ia conclu,ion substantially :
''Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury, desire TO
say TO you, and through you, N the people Of
thu 6ne old county, noS that will soon re-
tire from, the bench, that feel deeply crate
ful to them for their many act. of kindncs.

When quit the high position To which yon
assisted In elcvatng me on two occasions, 1t

all, regardless II political differences" Oar
ing the delivery Of thee brief aud touching
remarks, all eyes were turned upon his Hon
hN Aht tShNt't w W.
ntterabce-, and will long rcnemembcr them.
The docket Of the Commonwealth Tor the
present term Mas unusually small and but few
cases tried The case against Grven Adams,
N a charge Of murder, was the only import
ant one tried, and there was but little in the
evidence to sustain the indictment, lie was
acquii,sd. II. VI. Burdeti, Esq, Common
wealih's Attorney pro te"', for the prosecution,
aud II. T. Harris and Col. T. =. iIill for the de-
icnse.
Many indictments for minor orcnscs, were
either dismissed or flied away. Up to to-day
there has been no civil suits disposed Of which
were Of special interest. as only one days
docket, on the civil side has been gone over.
The Grand Jury seems to he doing a thriv-
ing business, from the number Of witnesses We
.-ee called into their rooms. A. usual, the
gentlemen who compose the Grand and Petit
Juries arr handsome, fne-looking men, and
with the such intelligence as parties litigant
may expect to have their Differences fairly
settled
We presume that the Court will finish up
all its business during next week
