Our Circuit Court Is still in session,
and several important cases have been de-
cided, Friday and Saturday Of last week
and Monday Of this week were oil taken
up with the case Of Snyder ". Jones'
The case was u very complicated one
and il was supposed by many that the
Jury would bc unable To come 10 u de-
cision, but after u short absence they
found for the plaintiff $3.50. This wis u
surprise to some, but 1t seems to me The
Jury could not do otherwise from The
testimony. Hanson Crlswell and q. .
Davenport were counsel for plaintiff
and Hannibal Forbes, Umpstead Of 81
Clairsville, and ], d. Ewing, for defend
ant. =.
Yesterday morning tho jurors were dis
charged, or excused rather until to'mOr'
row morning, and to-day Is being taken
up with ChanCery cases, appeals No.
Moving time Is at hand, and although

About fifty good tenement houses ar'
needed IN M0undsvillp. They arc badly
needed, and from the rate at which yer!
inferior houses are renting, ! can't se'
how men Of capital could invest tllei
money toa better advantage. They woult
