During the present week, the following gen
tlemen have been examined by the Court now , in session, and have been admitted and licensed , to practice Law, to-wll: John W. Hilt, John M. Woods, Wilson Morrow, James R.M'Clure, and Morris J. Williams. They all have the talent to make- themselves useful, respectable, aud successful, if they will only properly use what has beeu entrusted to them. ; Mr. Hitt is one of the promiuent citizens of this place, and is older than is nsml to commence the practice, being about 4o years of ng. He has however, the habits of appl-cation, the acquaintance with business, nnd the energy and promptness in attending l.a whatever is entrusted to him, that will render hi n an ejc-lient collecting attorney. lie will remain in this place. John M. Woods, is a son of Jrremiah Woods, n old citizen oC this piece. He g'ies south to seek a place to acquire riches and fame. Wilson Morrow Is a Vil:7n of I.aoret, an.l a branch of the Morrow famlty well known iu this portion of the State. He gos to Evansville lod. We trust he will be a valuable acquisition to that flourishing city. James R. M'Cliire is a son of our worthy fellow citizen Win. M'Clure, formerly of Highland township, uow of Brookvill-. Mr. M'Clure goes to New Albany, In.l. This is right. W'e like to see young mn giing where thre i business to do, rather than seeking an obscure
place where thero is no opposition. There Is James more glory in rising by energy aud worth, over opposition, than by rusting out for want of bu-
elness. Morris J. Williams is a eon of John P. Williams of Blooming Grove township, in this county, and Is a relative cf the late Gov. Jas. B. Ray. He goes to Greensburgh, Ind. He is a finn looking young man, and has been eRrly educated in the principles of honesty and industry. We have exery confidence in his success, end that his life will tiled honor cn the county cf bid nativity.
