For some time past, q petition

For some time past, q petition
has been in circulation in this city,
which has received large number
of signers, requesting the Legisla-
ture to set off as a new Circuit the
counties Of Alpena, Pressure Isle,
Altoona and Iosco. The increased
business of this Circuit has made
it almost impossible for our Judge
to do justice to the amount of labor
to be done, and thus the demand is
made for new Circuit. That the
Legislature will grant the prayer OF
the people of the Circuit in this
matter, is earnestly hoped for by
the public generally.
