We feel it proper to call attention to an event that occurred in town last Friday. It was decidedly not to the credit of the town. The leading men of the town should see to it that such case shall not occur again, as every citizen of the town is entitled to be heard before the courts of justice of the State, and is not to be turned into the street for court house. There was on that day pending a ease of forciblc entry, and detainer lessee, Hon. Miles T. Granger, an associate justice Of the Court of Errors of the State, wherein Mary Jane Neut0a was plaintiff, and Hrr- acc W. Warner was defendant, both tax payers of the town, as your correspondent is informed and both entitled to be sup ported by the town, should they come to want. Cothren of WoodbuIy was counsel for the plaintiff, and Huntingdon of the same place for the defendant. Judge Granger, the parties, the counsel on both sides, and a ''cloud of witnesses " arrive q on time. The counsel sought diligently, with earnest persuasiOns, for a room in which the judge could hold his court, but without result. The committee of the Congregational Lecture Room, where courts used to be held, said the society had fixed up the room ill a decent man. ner, so that it's meetings could be held there and had voted not to allow courts to be held therein; that the Hell Hollow D ople would pit tobacco juice all 0vtr the room, and it would not be fit for use. Your correspondent thinks that the socie- ty also had regard for the present trailing skirt nuisance of the ladies. I do not think dresses would be benefited by the tobacco practice while worn as now. II Kind Providence had doomed the sex to bear such forms as they make for them selves now, soon they would take the ad- vice of Jobs fIiends-curse their Maker and die.4The schoolhouse could not be obtained, because there is conflict as to which of the two Georges is tor is to bel committee. Trowbridge said they might have had his wagon shop if he had had sufficient notice to have "cleaned the eoop' No man would give room in his private house-a thing often done in an emergency. The only ray of comtoft the counsel and parties had was a remark of Harvey Thomas. He said they could have had his barn, but there was rye in it which he had not time to move, and he dare not risk it with such a crowd, for fear that it would go away with them. Judge Granger thought it a good time to light out, and so informed counsel

 Counsel thought it well to see if dinner for him in this hospitable town could be found, and finally Judge Huntington sue ceeded in obtaining one at Nathan R. Smiths. (The Judge has the inside track of Nathan, because he is counsel for him against :. Bro Cothren.' We'll, the judge got something to eat, and your correspon- dent heard him devoutiy and earnestly thankin the family for their munificent hospitality in time of need. The iuag ge enIert ed again on the street, and there avowing that he could no more visit the town, he then and there, under the high canopy of heaven, tand a maple tree), ,ad- journed the case to more hospitable cline, in the eheery month of November. 4 room will be obtained there. A decent respect for their own convenience, as well
