The Masonic Celebration.

On Wednesday last the Order Of Freemasons
celebrated the Anniversary Of st. John, the Bap.
tist The procession formed at the Court House
at IL o'clock, m, and marched in procession pre-
ceded by the Trinity Brass Band, down Court
Street and thence down Main street TO the Wea-
vervlle Theater. After the large concourse of
people were seated and the preliminary exercises
were gone through, the Hon, K. T. Miller came
forward and delivered the Grafton. Owing to
the crowded state of the gallery, we were unable
to obtain position from whence we could hear
the speaker distinctly. The oration occupied q
little over an hour in its delivery, and was chiefly
confined to the origin history, and progress of the
Order. We noticed the presence of large mum.
Der Of ladies. The procession wus ngain formed
and marched ts the Lodge room, from whence
they again marched 10 Hockers building, where
a sumptuous dinner was paraken Of
A large company Of ladies and gentlemen, to-
gether with all the members of the Order assem-
bled in The evening at the dancing hall, IN Hook
crs building, which was beaulifnillJ decorated
with evergrcens and mottos appropriate to the
occasion The company was not as large as was
anticipated. The music was excellent, and the
whole company seemed to enter into the spirit OF
enjoyment. The supper was prepared by Mr..
Hines, proprietor Of the st. Charles Hotel, and
we think we can say with truth, that it was not
inferior TO any thing of the kind ever given in
this place. Some Of the prominent citizens Of
Shasta aud IIorsetown were present and partici-
pated in the joyous festivities. The whole affair
was highly credible to the classic Order.

Report of the Jail Committee.

To the Hon. tie Grand Jury:
Your Committee, appointed to make an exam
nation of the Jail ard prisoners, beg leave to
submit the following report
We have made such examination, and find the
Jail tenanted by two Chinese, imprisoned for fail
ure to pay fine for misdcmeanor.
We are pleased to be able to report that the
Jail is kept clean and neat and in such manner
as to conduce to the health of the prisoners
The prisoners are provided with good wholesome
food, furnished from the house of the late Sher-
iff Mr.. Neblett is justly entitled to commenda-
ton for the manner in which he as Sheriff. has
discharged the duties of jailor The keeping of
prisoners in the Jail the boarding of them, and
the fees paid the Sheriff for attending the Jail
while prisoners are confined, has proved to be
one of the heaviest sources of expense to the
County
The recent Legislature provides by Statute for
the working on public works, or the hiring out to
do private labor, all prisoners who may be con.
fined in the County Jail. We would consider il
greatly beneficial to the County could all prison.
ers confined in the County Jail, and especially
those confined for non payment of fines, be hired
out to labor during their terms of confinement
even could nothing more be received for their
labor than their board. The law provides that
the County shall receive their hire This, in ad-
dltlon to saving the expense of their board and
the $500 per day allowed the Sheriff for attend
ing the Jail during the time prisoners are con6n-
ed therein, must be great saving. We would
therefore recommend that the Board of Superyi- |
sors DO, us heretofore, authorize the Sheriff to
hire out the prisoners.
All OF which is respectfully submitted,

The Grand Jury Report.

The report of the Grand Jury will be found
in another column. II will be read with interest
by our readers, no doubt Altogether, it may
be considered very good report The high
state of morality that the report speaks ofwill be
very pleasing to our friends at distance, and
our neighbors in the adjoining counties
The Grand Jury very properly draws distinc-
tion between those criminal acts over which mag
istrates of subordinate and limited jurisdiction
can exercise control, and those of higher grade.
This very learned distinction of the Grand Jury
is pure wisdom, tempered with mercy toward the
erring babes, and should be serious admonition
to them 10 cease their evil dongs. We like this
recommendation of the Grand Jury, however, for
the principle Of economy it contains for al
though il might be supposed to be sort of license
highly satisfactory, it will act as sort of re-
straint upon the conduct Of these innocent babes.
They will see that the subordinate magistrates
have jurisdiction over the lower order of misde-
meanors. The greatest expense TO any county
in California at the present time is incurred in
the transactions of the useless Court of Sessions.
1t appears from the statistics furnished by the
present honest and efficient County Treasurer,
Mr.. Bennett, that the county debt is S3l 600. If
the interest was calculated on this it would reach
no doubt s33 900. If we were great in proportion
to what we owe, we should have but few equals
Our curiosity has been awfully worked up and
excited, without being satisfied with the facts by
which the late Assessor escaped hanging. The
recommendation to the Supervisors to appropriate
money to build vault is very good but we
would also recommend that sealed proposals be
received up to such time, to construct the same
before any appropriation be made. Without this
safeguard. some contractor might commence at
the bed rock and top off on the fifth story.
The report of the Special Committee appointed
to examine the Jail, is good report. The report
speaks in the highest terms of exSherif Neblett s
attention and efficiency in the discharge of his
duties No officer that has ever held Office in Cali
fornia was more deserving of the acknowledge.

MORE SHOOTING on THE SALaoN.-John Moore

took a ydger and went to the claim where Moore
was at work and shot him. The ball struck his
right shoulder, ranged down and lodged in his
back Moore ran to his cabin and Griffith fol.
lowed and attempted to shoot him again, but was
prevented. Moore will recover. Griffith was
tried and rent TO the Pententiary, but on the
passage down on the Goiah jumped overheard,
and WAS drowned. He had probably heard Of
Esteii's humane treatment of prisoners who had
not money to buy cut, and preferred to try place
that had better reputation.
