To the Fail' of course. Hadn't we better go too? Certainly! Why even the f'ouit has adjourned to got the Fair. It's going to be a grand success. We have not had time to lay be fore our readers a synopsis of the proceed ings of Court, but may next week. Not much of interest occurred, however, save the ordinary routine ot Judicial proceed ings. Itsse-sions are thinly attended this j week. It is not even able to keep up in - j terest enough to keep the unpanneled ju I rors in attendance. We notice Mr. Ooch ran running through town, searching for i absentees who, by the by, will stand a ; good chance to be fined when they doap- | pear j they should always be en hands. , Sua)'" In our paper this week will be j found the enrolment net, also the Proc- | tarnation of tho /'resident which was is sued bearing on the same subject. If j any election officer feels at liberty to <1 is- | regard them and receive the votes of] those embraced in them, lot him do so at j bis peril. And if any deserter or non- j reporter sees fit to insist on voting, let | him too, take the consequences. Let a j record be made of all such cases and they ; will receive attention indue time.
