Our Circuit Court, during the en-
tire first half of last week, was oc-
cupied in the trial of the interesting
breach of promise suit of Turner rs.
Turner, and we are pleased to be able
to say that we. have never seen a bet
ter conducted case in our courts {;
indeed the manner of procedure
throughout was such as draw upon
judge, counsel, jury, witnesses and
all engaged in the trial, the highest
enconiums for the strictly decorous
character of the proceedings-such
as should always prevail in all trials
of that sort. The arguments in the
case were able and elaborate, and
were listened to with profound atten-
ton by large number of people,
The plaintiff was represented by the
Hon. D. B. Lucas, and the defendant
by Capt. George Baylor and Geo. NJ.
Bcltzhoover, Esq. The jury returned
verdict of 50, 500 damages for the
plaintiff.

One of our canine residents took it
into his head, the other day, to enter
the sacred precincts of the Court
house, whilst our Circuit Court WAS in
session; but by some means he
became suddenly Disguised with the
proceedings there, and made rush
for the front door of the upper floor.
Without pausing to consider the con-
sequences, he cleared the iron balcony
at q single bound, and landed on the
brick pavement, twenty feet or more
below, and crawled away with a
broken leg. He belongs to q Uncle"
George Green, coIored, and VIC ven
ture to say that his dogship knows
more of the evils of being drawn into
court than any of his species here
abouts. We hope his sudden de-
parturc meant no indignity to the
worthy members Of our bar.

The dwelling house of Josiah Wat
son, Esq, in NIiddIcway District,
caught fire Thursday, from a burning
chimney, and but for the cxcrtions of
Mr.. Watson and his son the building
would have been entirely burnt. The
property is insured in the Mutual.
and the slight loss was promptly paid
the next day by the company

The Circuit Court was frozen out
during the cold spell last week, and
had to adjourn and hunt other quar-
tiers for the transaction of its business.
The arrangements for heating our
large courtroom are very imperfect,
and our County Court should give the
matter due attention without delay.
Why not at the same time make ar
engagements for the introduction of
gas into the building? The cost for
fixtures would not be a great deal.
and when not used Gas would be the
case the much greater part of the
timc) the gas would not have to be
paid for. On the other hand, when,
as sometimes occurs, lights are
needed for the use of our courts. the
present means provided are very in
efficient.

THE KITE RuoADEs CONPANY.-
This Company performed in Martins
burg every night last week, and will
appear in Washington Hall, this place,
for three nights, opening this (NIon=
day) evening. Capt. CoIston says of
it in the Martinsburg Statesman:
The Kittie Rhoades dramatic COM
bination has been performing at Eel
ler's Hall since Monday night, and
will continue their performance until
Saturday. This is tirst-class No.
company, and in every way dcserv-
ing of the liberal patronage of our
citizens. Their rendition of East
Lynne on Monday night was superb,
in fact their performance each night
could hardly be cxcclIed. Tonight
the ''Two Orphans will be pro-
duccd, and on Friday night this ex-
cellent company will probably give a
benefit for the city band, and close
the weeks programme with matinee
on Saturday afternoon. Those fail
ing to see these performances will
miss treat that is not often offered
to our city.
The Martinsburg Herald says: The
Kittie Rhoadcs Dramatic troupe has
been playing some excellent pieces
in Fcller's Hall. They are we'll be-
havcd, well equipped and we'll drilled
company.
