Grand Jury Report.
AUBURN. February 7th. 1862

Your Grand Jury respectfully report: That
they entered upon their duties on the Sd inst,
have examined all charges before them found in
dictments in eight cases, two presentmehts, and
ignored six bills
The committees upon whom devolved the ex-
animation of the affairs of the county report that
they observed nothing to which exception should
be taken.
The Grand Jury recommend that in the assess
mcnt of land and Improvements, the Assessors use
more discrimination as to the locality and quality.
as they are led to believe very little discrmina-
ton has been used in some instances.
We recommend the erection of suitable fire
proof building for the of county officers, and
the preservation of the archives of the county.
The Treasurer and Recorder are now occupying
offices for which the county is paying rent the
county owning no suitable building for said pur-
pose.
We now ask to be discharged.

FINE WEArHER-Several slight showers
have fallen within the week but the ndica
tions are that the great storm is over, and
we are now entering upon a 'term" Of dry,
pleasant weather, that will soon restore the
roads to good travelling order and enable
farmers to plow and seed. Already there
is some powing being done on the uplands
in the valley, bat Il week more of dry wealth
er will be required for general plowing
But little blowing WAS done early in the
season, and farmers have been fearful that
the sto:ms would delay their seeding until
too late to make good grain crops; but if
they have fair weather now for two weeks
they will get the grain in the ground early
enough 20 make at least good crop.
