The contemplated dacl between the yourg
doctors didn't come eff Sunday ~wornias- As
was anticipated.
Mr.. nj. G. Munson's house, new bailliag,
when completed, will add much to the appear
ance Of Arlington.
Mr.. I. Fl. Berry, the gentlclnau who tried
to pare his iinger-nails with the halves OF Mr..
S. B. Corbett's cutting-hnx, is not yet ready To
try it again.
There has been tor some years back a class
of individuals around Arlington who make it a
point of economy to get their living of the
county in the winter, and it is to be hoped the
Superintendent of the Paor will refer some OF
them to the justices OF The peace this winter.
Special policeman OHatt crested parties

on Mr.. Cranes place, near the Long bridge.
They vii! be tried before Justice Austin TO-

A HIATUS IN LAw.-~In the Cir:ui. Court
for the city, yesterday, when the cases Of the
Commonwealth VS.. Susan Siulpk;uS and Ed.
ward Meade we're called, motions we're maze
to quash the indictments found against them,
on tho ground Of informally in the summonlng
Of the Grand Jury which found them. An cx,
animation Of the last acts OF Assembly disclosed
the singular tact that wiliio the law provided
that the Corporation Courts, the Circuit
Courts for the counties and the Circuit Courts
tor tho cities should have Grand Juriea, the
first at certain Of their terms aud the last two
at all their TERMS, no way whatever vas pro-
vided for summoping one for the latter court.
The Legislature, after taking great pains TO
point out the manner OF summarizing 4 Grand
Jury for tho Corporation Courts and Circuit
Courts for the counties, had there stopped.
This state of affairs is a natural result Of the
constant tinEtring and patching up OF laws
which answered every purpose before. This
morning the court quashed the indictments
aud discharged the prisoners. They were i'm
mediately rearrested and carried before the
magistrate who originally committed them, by
whom they were recommlttcd Tor trial at the
next term Of the Corporation Court. There,
another difficulty will arise from the fact tina,
it is doubtful whether under the recent acts
that court has jurisdiction to try iciouJ cases.
ToURNAMENT.-The tournament at CaiIin,s
Springs, yesterday, was n very successful! add
entertaining affair. The weather was delight
tul and the field free from dust. The riding
commenced about half past two in the evening,
and was, in some cases, very good, though, as
general thing, expectations in that respect
we're not realized. The attendance was quite
large, and the seats on the grounds we'll filled.
The music had been we'll selected. The break
ing Of several Of the seats and the sudden pre-
c~ipitation of their occupants caused consider
able amusement, and was, in fact, quite Il
pleasant heak in the affair. After the riding
81 adjournment YVES made to the pavilion where
the judges, Messrs. DainSerticld, Cats aud
Coleman, declared the following gentlemen the
successful kuights:-Mr. Il. B. Clark, Knight,
of Broken Heart, who crowned Miss Lila Ora,
ham Queen of Love aud Beauty; Mr.. Benz.
Hunter, Knight of Potomac, who crowned
Miss Mamie Dearborn First Maid of Honor;
Dir. Scott Cooper, Knight of Ola Dominion:
who crowned Miss Lizzie JaVins Second Maid
