The court week drew a large attendance at the new court house. The old Witherow vs Epley case, running since 1823, was tracted out with a verdict for the plaintiff in one half of the disputed property. Numerous criminal and civil cases were disposed of in Quarter Sessions, including larceny, assault, fornication and bastardy, and malicious mischief, with various fines and costs imposed. A Whig National Convention potential plan was discussed for July, and the Union College president Dr Nutt reportedly resigning. A severe thunderstorm in Baltimore caused flooding and fatalities, followed by a surge of court notes and a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision on cattle law.

Count Gleben a dubious German suitor at the college
A elderly German named Count Gleben appeared at a Lutheran Theological Institution seeking entry to the ministry. He was labeled a sham, later identified as a former inmate of a Catholic establishment accused of theft and deceit. He departed after warning notices. The issue coincides with a college catalog and upcoming commencement on September 15, including alumni reunions. A separate note mentions Hanover and local gas company progress. A fire at a Washington government machine shop destroyed three large buildings, with extensive losses and many workers laid off.
