COURT Fall term of court
commenced at Dover on Monday.
The attendance was much smaller
than usual, and little or no interest
in the proceedings. Some Of the
lawyers were away, presumably on
a political mission, and all who
could, postponed or compromised
the cases. The impression is that
the term will be a short one, and
viii probably not continue during
the week. The time to spare to at
tend to the trial Of cases, and most
Of the civil cases have already been
arranged to be continued Ap-
pearances at present indicate but
one civil case for trial next week.
Most of the offenses charged are
apparently but of trivial charac-
ter. Since last term Of the Court
business in the Prothonotary's Of
fee has not been very active. There
have been but fifty suits of all sorts
brought to the approaching term Of
the Court which is less number
than has been brought to any other
term for many years past.

Colonel Douglass opened the meet
ing with a short speech, but did
not pitch his voice high enough to
be heard by those standing out in
the cold. He however, in a few
minutes introduced John r. Mich
olson, Esq, of Dover, who opened
his speech with a pretty classical
allusion and spoke throughout with
elaboration and thoughtfulness,
