Da whom, June 4—The spring
tern of the Superior court here
luted hut five days, nllthc result of
a wonderful continuation of civil
cases. Tbit continuation must
moat surely embarrass futuie
courts. A county court is badly

It was the dryest court that «e
ever attended, financially speaking.
The lawyers and officers of the
court at its closo held empty bags
so far u dollars and cents were
concerned. It was the common
remark that the only ones who
made any uiouey were the jurymen

12 criminals to the county chain

made one of best speeches before

follow, as some claim with a benefit
otherwise than to distribute its
“f/ut7 money” among its contest
ants. But they have left it to Bron-
wood to inaugurate a race of merit
and true grit. To-day one of our
merchants put up a moderate wager
that he could tie oats behind any
eradlcr. Whereupon onr worthy
marshal, Mr.. J. T. Rogers, took
him up, and as Jim Hill had some
oats ready for the grain cradle at
band, we repaired to the field ol
action and watched tbe long swing
