TERRIFIC GALE.a II Sunday even
ing last, 18th inst, the severest gale Of
the season passed over this village and
vicinity, in the shape of thunder and
lightning, hail, wind and rain, by which
barns and sheds in the south part of the
town were unroofed, trees uprooted, and
fences demolished. The hail is said 10
have done vast amount of damage to
the growing crops, as many corn and
potato fields were completely riddled,
from which, probably, not half a crop
will be realized. We understand that
where the storm first struck, hail stones
fell the size of a robins egg, and some
weighing nearly two ounces. In oul
immediate vicinity the damage is trining
as the gale was far spent ere it reached
us, leaving, however, a bountiful supply
of rain, which, at this particular time
was very much needed.-Bradford Tel

laying evidence before the grand jury.
This may in some degree account for the
number of bills Of indictment returned,
and also for the fact that three out OF
the four persons actually tried are ac-
Quilted, and also for the great number OF
noHe proseguiTs which we find on the
docket. But in my judgment a States
Attorney has nothing to do with the grand
jury's inquiries or deliberations. lfcalled
upon by the grand jury, his duty is to
advise them what the law is, and TO pre-
pare for them such bills of indictment as
are by them called for, and also bills of
indictment against such persons as are
recognised to appear in the county court
for trial, and there his duty ends with
them.
The grand jury room is not the place
where false accusation should succeed,
or a real offence should be smothered.
One man may be controlled by prejudice,
influenced by passion, or even reached
by bride, but twelve men will be very
unlikely to be thus affected, and hence
the security of the citizen. Coming from
all parts of the county, grand jurors gen.
orally know if false accusations are
ahoat in their own town, and when the
grand juror or his friend does not hap.
pen to be the accuser, they will be able tc
call the attention of their fellows to suct
facts and witnesses as will show that the
charge is frivolous. But when granC
jurors so far mistake their duty as to sup
pose that they only meet to see if thost
who make accusations can point to evi
dence sufficient to make prsnaG facsc
case, and that their whole duty consist
in finding bills, and the greater the mum
Der of bills the more faithfully the dut,
is done, results like those of the las
grand jury in this county may be expect
ed.
: Probably from ten to fifteen bills {
indictment were really called for at til
: last term, and about that number out {
: the forty will stand, while the rest wi
evaporate into thin air. The real legit
! mate business of a grand jury in tn
! county would occupy from three to fiv
] days, and the grand jury who does
: duty and no more, will be blessing to IL
people, while a grand jury that acts b
e yond its duty becomes an oppression
i the people, and engenders contempt f
d the institution itself and brings out a CO
s to abolish it.
