The Circuit Court was in session last week in Port Washington with a very slim calendar,that Judge PULLING would have cleared in one hour and a quarter. Nothing of any importancetranspired, except some tall swearing in one criminal case. The whole business ofthis Circuit, were it not for Waukesha County, does not amount to much.

We wish Judge SLOAN would resign the office in our favor, so that we might get thesinecure and have something more to do besides editing the NEWS; it would be justenough to fill up leisure time and to draw the three thousand dollars salary. Weshould like that very much, and would promise to stay with the boys a week or twolonger at each term than necessary, to play a game of seven up for the soda waterall around.

We have heard from several parties that it would not be a bad idea if some of ourcitizens in our town would make a collection and buy some suitable place for a racecourse. There are places enough in the town that would suit for that purpose, andthere are men in this town that would buy four or five shares at one time. Of coursepeople must taken an interest in such an undertaking and help all they possibly canotherwise it will be a failure. It would be a Sunday afternoon's enjoyment to seea good horse race.
