COURT. AND so ralrfii !---The January
Term of Court, will eommtmeo On iltimilay
next, (the 19th.) We 'mention the fact for
two reasons. Firstly, that "all the world and
the rest of mankind" may knowit; and, see
°Wily, because it furnishes a seasonable cc
casion to say to delinquent patrons, that many
excellent opportunities will doubtless then be
afforded for remitting money to the Printer.
If the marry who owe us will but pay a small
amount each, the aggregate will greatly re-
Hove our present necessities. Those residing
out of the eounty—many of them in the West
—we 'hope will also take this kind hint to
heart, arid do unto us as they would be dose
.by. Our expenses. must 1.) paid, and su-rely
the prweeds of Irbould , furnish the
"where-with-all" to pay them. Is it not so,
friends?
Stai4•The Directors of the Poor, have com
pleted their appointments,. which are as fol
lows:
Steward, Juno)) etilp_.

Treanaurer, .7. B. Pawner, I.l'l.
l'hymieinn, Pr. .19ovA. Swope.
Counsel, Win. .M4van,,Esq. •
That -these- gentlemen will discharge the
duties of the several posts to which they have
thus been called, to the profit of the county
and the satisfaction of the- tax-payers, we
have no hesitation in predicting ; and all who
know them will Cordially agree with us.—
Know Nothing disappointed of ce•seekers
may grumble at every step - taken by the
Board, now that two of the three Directors
are Denmerats: but they would be equally
dissatisfied if the purest saint were to distri;
Leto the patronage nod Hot put it in their
pockets. Verily, they die hard—but there is
no hell► 'for them, and there should not be, for
so proscriptive, intolerant and grasping a
crew.
