If reports are all correct,' there is a likelihood of no court being held in Benton county until March, as a result of the failure of Governor Chamberlain to declare a week ago last Friday and Saturday legal holidays. Where court has beea postponed by such holidays, tbe law demands that it convene on the first non-holiday. The Benton court did not meet; on Friday, a week ago, which was not a holiday, and the term has therefore, it is pre sumed, gone by default, which ineanB no court until March, unless a special term should be called. Joseph Yates is being joked a good deal by his many friends in regard 10 hitching his horse to a post down town and absent mind edly going home without it a week ago. The animal was taken up at 10 o'clock that night by the Chief of Police and restored to the owner the following afternoon. Mr. Yates is a sage in his way, and in reply to the jokers wtoo haye bothered him about tbe affair he has requested the Gazette to say that while tome people make mistakes and then teil a lot of falsehoods to get out of tbe tangle, he is an nonest man and ad mits that the whole story is true which should end - the matter, in Mr. Yates' opinion.
