MARCH COURT.—Last Monday was the busiest day we have seen in our town for a long while. It was the first day of the glorious old March Court which for many years past has been the appointed time for the transaction of all sorts of business. The day being fine and the ground too wet to plough there was a general turn out, or turn in, from the county. At an early hour in the day, a friend informed us that two hundred and twenty horses were stalled at the Virginia Hotel, and the Eagle being full, he was obliged to "put up" at a vacant post. The streets were thronged, and while the crowd within the Court House were entertained by the Lawyers, the auctioneers held forth, as usual, to those without. No incident occurred worth relating, but we will here, incidentally, make our acknowledgements to those of our friends who did not forget in the hurly burly to "pay the printer."
