TERN DISTRICT.

EDITOR 1NTELLIGENCER AS the peo-
pie Of the western judicial district will
be called rpsn, at the ensuing fall elec-
tion, to choose county court justice
fer the said district. think that it is
time that they were looking about for a
suitable gentleman to I'LL that RESPONSE
BILE position. The Office OF county court
Justice 10 one in which the people OF the

which almost amounts to bankruptcy
and ut tho same time can so econo-
mise the finances OF the county as to
mako the burthsns light and easy to
bear. which has been fully attested by
the acts Of these who have presided over
the affairs of the county heretofore.
Now, Mr.. Editor, after looking about,
aad thinking tho matter over and over
again, We can think Of no more suitable
gentleman than Mr.. John Lockhart,
Of Clay township. Mr.. Lockhart was
raised in Lafayette county. and has al
ways resided within her borders; being

county IS well. II Mr.. Lockhart will
allow his name to be used in connection
with this ofiss, he will receive the unan-
lmous support Of Clay township, and,
no doubt, large majority OF the votes
Of the entire district.

wings, which will! be used for service
able hats and bonnets. Many are dyed
in cashmere hues, but again we observe
bright bands of natural feathers. as well
also rs breasts and heads OF birds. Birds
likewise will be employed, but of course
not extensively.
SPRING MATERIALS.
New Morine cloths are covered with
palm leaves and other eastern iancies
the same may be said OF new lawns,
iaconets and indeed the whole family OF
cotton goods, both Of high and low de-
gree. But invariably we find plain
lawns, etc. to match and this, OF course,
is broad enough hint that PLAIN goods
must be combined in order to give ef-
feet OF shading. Light woolcn goods
terms; summer silks are beautiful in
their shawl-like semblances new satins
are similarly wrought; new velvets as
well, and thus 1t becomes apparent that
these oriental ideas extend throughout
the entire range OF dress. But it must
be remembered that extra stylishness
brings corresponding expense, and
therefore all these new goods are con-
siderably higher priced than those which
have been longer in the market. or
which are less pronounced in character.
Belonging to the former class. the jar
diniere OF floral pattern may be men,
toned, they, however. being still look
ed upon as quite fashionable; while in
the latter category, we find the family
ut small checks, stripes, etc, which are
always in vogue.
NEW DESIGNS.
Short walking costumes will be quite
as much worn as ever. In this style
the Narcissa is very tasteful, and adap-
ted to all new wool or silk materials.
For demi-train, though allowable with
short costume, the Hermonis over
skirt is novel and quite pretty, while
embodying opposite ideas, we find the
Aida overskirt. which is adapted to a
walking costume only. The Alcna is
new polonaise which combines the
effect OF panier basque with an over.
skirt, but requires trimmed skirt be-
low. The Aieson basque is an excel
lent design of light spring woolens OF
silk, while for a spring street jacket,
nsthing newer or more iaunty than the
Fredsrica could be found.
