WE still occasionally receive COM
munications that cannot be publish
cd because they smack of PERSONAL
ties. We are always glad to have
the news, and like to have short dis

pondents to fire at their neighbors

in appearance, and his orders are
models for accuracy of expression
and neatness of form, and he is al
ways courteous and obliging.

Court Justices VIM. E. Richardson,
Jacob Lemley and John Laird have
resigned, and it is said because they
cannot afford to hold the office.
These gentlemen are amongst the
very best of our magistrates and we
dislike the idea of their being unable
to afford their official honors. 1t is
