REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.-The report of
the late Grand Jury We are unable to give entire
in to-day's paper, and We therefore content our
self with brief reference to its most important
items. They report to the Court eleven true
bills, as follows: grand larceny, l. assault with
intent to kill, 3 ASSAULT with intent to commit
great bodily injury, 2; rape, /; improper and
criminal use of deadly weapons 4. The Grand
Jury deprecate the too frequent use of deadly
weapons in our streets and public assemblies, and
urge our officers to prevent it. They also call
upon the good citizens of the county to use their
influence in disbanding the Vigilance Commit
tees. They allude to the unsatifactory service
and School Marshals, and state that it has cost
the county $500 to get hold of 5000 due us
from the school fund There are at present ten
school districts in the county. The Jail Is re-
ported clean aud orderly, but the building unfit
to be used. The erection of a new stone edifce
is advised. The hospital of Drs. Kendall &
Browne, in which are lodged the INDECENT sick of
the county, is fatteringly alluded to-the sick
well attended, and every thing pertaining to the
establishment admirably adapted for the purposes
intended, SO far as examined, the books OF the
various county officers are kept in a workman.
like manner" They recommend more vigilance
in the collection of poll and foreign miners tax
and advise that the proceedings of the Board of
Supervisors be published in the papers of the
county. They call the attention of road superv
vors to the bad condition of many roads and
bridges, and recommend to the authorities the
enforcement of the law against noisy and barba-
rous amusements on the Sabbath, and the sup
preston of houses of ill-fame.

A MYsrERY-The State Journal says there is
mystery hanging over the result of the late
election in this State which many of the know
nothings themselves cannot comprehend! Gov.
Bigler has received over 46 900 votes, exhibiting
an increase of over 10000, and a majority Of
5000 over the vote of last year; and We believe
he has obtained majority of the legal votes.
We have said, and now repeat, that the whole
matter will be exposed.

STATE WARRANTS ISSUED PRIOR TO July 1sT.
AS these warrants are considerably lower in
their market value than registered scrip issued
since July lst, 1855, it will be well for our tax
payers to remember that they are just as good
for the payment of taxes, as the warrants issued
since the 1st of July. The amount of tax that
can be paid in State warrants is thirty-one cents
on each one hundred dollars of the taxable pro-
perty

HARD on EM.-Senator Brodhead, of Pa, in
5 recent speech on know-nothingism, says:
" They (the know-nothingis) say the Pope exer-

devil as they are of the Pope, Paradise would
hold great many more Of them than think it

-" Suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange"

Nature has laid aside few things for future
use-but graves, and bones, and pershing flesh
are not among them. The rocky tombs of the
Valley of Hinnom have had the Israelite, the Ro-
man and the Turk, in turn, for tenants but those
tombs are empty now. Nature found them out,
and bade the idle dust away and the Valley of
the Holy Land may have been greener for it, and
the rose of Sharon worn brighter bloom.
What, then, did it matter that they burned the
King of Edoms bones for lime They were only
doing what Nature would have done after while,
Fastening them on their way back to the marble
perhaps the column in the temple, or the Apollo
in the shrine So it may be that mourners have
stood around grave-and the grave may have
been green with rain-rain that had fallen when
the sky was clear above-and what they wept for
might at that moment be budding in the tree that
waved ever their heads or worn away in the wing
of the robin, that just few out of its branches
with note of joy.
| And how much more beautiful is this belief,
than that the handful of dust We have done using
shall be useless and idle in the grave, repugnant
to the senses and appalling to the thought.
Freely loaned to US from Natures wonderful
wardrobe, when we lay it aside, something else is
waiting for it, to whom it is as kindly giyen-and
thus the myriads of beings forever coming and
going, find the closets Of the globe always rich in
apparel, ready and waiting for their wearing.
