On last Monday the commissioners appointed to select a locality for the Court House, made their report in favor of the old site. The report was adopted after some opposition and the appropriation made to secure the lots on the old square, they having been valued by disinterested parties and about one third of the sum necessary to secure them having been subscribed by parties owning property around the square.
