thoughtless young men who fell into its

change, and now we find their defeats so
numerous, that we can't take room TO enron
icle tenth of them. TO say nothing of
their recent disasters in Connecticut and \.

On motion Of Mr.. Murray, Record Book

tract index, to be rebound.
Tie board in body visited and examined
the jail, and, although they admit it was
never in better condition than at present,
they unanimously agreed in pronouncing it
unfit as place for the incarceration of hui
man beings. a committee was appointed to
devise some plan to erect new Jail, but
without coming to any conclusion,> the COM
mittcc asked leave to sit again, and will pro-
baby report at the next meeting.
- On a resolution offered by Mr.. Thornc,
W. H. w. Cushman was rc-appointcd agent
of the county to pay the interest, &C., on
our county bonds.
Onmotion of Mr.. Murray, committee of
three was raised to investigate certain ru-
mors anoat in the community, to the effect
that our county funds were placed by the
Treasurer into bank in Joliet for safe keep
ing. The committee, it appears, interrosat.
cd tho Treasurer touching these grave ru-
mors, who candidly confessed that, having
no safe place to deposit these funds, he had
placed part ofthcm in the Bank at Joliet,
and part in the Ottawa Bank. Whereupon
The committee come to the wise conclusion
that, as the Treasurer has given heavy socu-
rity for the safe keeping of these funds, he
had better be allowed TO keep them in his
own way, at least so long as his bondsmon
were satisfied; and so the matter was
dropped.
On motion Of Mr.. lIollowcll, a resolution
was adopted, reciting that, as the city au-
thorites of Ottawa had removed certain out
buildings in the rear OF the court house with
out leave ofthe county, they be requested
TO pay for them; and on further motion Of
Mr.. Fleming, the committee on court house
and Jail were directed TO see that suitable
Outbuildngs be provided at the expense of
the county.
