MlddIeburg Public Buildings.
We this week for the first time saw thu
buildings for public purposes erected il
and for Snyder county, by private sub
scriptions and we must in justice say thai
the style and appearance Of them both
surpassed our anticipations. The numcr.
ons disparaging illusions that have been
made to them, We certainly think unjust
They are superior to the buildings so long
used by both counties at New Berlin and
although not as expensive as those at Lew
isburg, yet they will probably answer the
necessities of that county for long time
70 come. When We r, feet that Middle
burg has not one third or perhaps one
fourth the pecuniary ability of Lewisburg,
it is apparent that Middleburg has shown
quite as liberal a spirit as Lewisburs has
in the matter. No enc could expect that
the people of that town could advance
means for as elegant and costly public
buildings, as those of our own. And
when they have fully discharged their
present Indebtedness, no doubt they will
all feel better inclined to adorn their town
with pavements, shade trees, and other ac-
commodations and attractions suited to
and demanded by residents and visitors.
The Court Room is easy to hear in,
very light, has superior rentilator, in
the centre of the ceiling overhead, and
will accommodate sufficient spectators.
The offices. underneath, would have been
better if foot higher and more commodi.

basement) as there is in the town. The
back part Of the building is Of stone, with
iroued windows and doors, containing two
prison rooms above, and two below and
d small walled yard in the rear. The
rooms for prisoners will answer, ordinari-
ly; but in case of large number they
could not be confined separately in strict
accordance with law.-Happily the Jail OF
Snyder county, like that of Union county,
has no inmates; and the very clever

nH- The Snyder County Court appointed
J. G. l.. Shindel, Foreman Of the Grand
Jury. Monday and Tuesday were consul
med in case of alleged road obstruction
at Port Trevorton. Another case, taken
up Wednesday, it was supposed would
consume most Of the week. There will be
n Court next week also.
