The Sentinel plunged little deeper into the
mysteries of the human mind last week. than it
did before We don't care a pin for the low
opinion it has of our capacity to comprehend its
" bread distinction" We admitted in the outset
that it was too deep for u.s. and if it had particle
of magnanimity it would pursue its metaphysical
investigations without turning out of its course
to despise us ! However. we won't complain.
We shall even quote its articles notwithstanding
their abuse OF us for the sake of the instruction
they Certain. By the following extract our read
ers will see that, in the second chapter, the SEN
tinel informs us that Judgment " is "a simple.
natural faculty of the mind'' not modified or de.
velopcd, or strengthened by use, of course. Crhe
Sentinel furnishes fine sample, by the wav)and
that seeing, hearing, asting smelling, &c. are
'powers or capacities of the mind() which re.
suit from a continued and concentrated action of
many faculties" But perhaps We don't catch
the full force OF the inner sense which breathes
through this philosopher, so we let him swing
his own sledge, as follows -

To The Hon COUNTY Court NOW IN SESSION:
The Grand Jury, within and Tor the County of Chit
tenden, report, that they have visited the Jail and
find the said Jail and Jail House in good repair,
That there is want of some slight repairs and
some additions to the Outhouses, Barns, Wood
house &c. We recommend the repairs and additions
alluded to- if the County Funds will admit it, without
tax upon the People. We would further recommend
the appointment, of some person, who should be paid
for his reasonable trouble and expense to inquire and
report to the next session of the Grand Jury, whether
some employment might not be found whereby the
time and attention OF the inmates of the Jail might be
turned from idlcness and inactivity useful labor
ldeness and inactivity produce those vices which,
pecially upon the younger inmates, have tendency
produce injurious thoughts habits and consequences
arising from the influence Of old and hardened oen-
ders upon the minds and habits OF the younger

To The Hon. COUNTY Court NOW IN SESSION:
The Grand Jurors, within and for the County Of
Chlttenden respectfully represent, that they have wit
messed during the past year disposition among many
OF our citizens to disregard the provisions OF the Lii
cense Act of Oct 3lst 1874 and that an unusual guam
tl'y ofspirituous Liquor in open and public violation Of
the law has been sold, the great injury o our com-
nunity whereby the public morals have been corruP-

heel bound, in view OF these circumstances, as conserva-
tors OF the Law ina public manner, to notice the evil
tendencies Of such vices and practices among our tel
low citizens We have no hesitation in declaring 1t q
our duty, to require, at the hands OF all, rigid and
strict observance OF the law. Ours is government OF
laws, and spirit of characterization to them, in any
case, has direct and immediate tendency to destroy
their force and plunge into state OF Irresponsible
~ and anarchy, without any acknowledged authority
to guide and direct us When such spirit OF insub-
ordination has gained footing among us, 1t will
not be confined to any particular Act, or Law, but

be universally agreeable that may not meet the IN
