GRAND jury RooM
Baltimore County, Nd, March, oath, 1861
FTNHE Grand Jury of Baltimore County re-
i spectfully represent that we have disposed
of all the business that has been brought be-
fore us, and have found 81 true bills.
AS required by law, the Grand Jury visited
the County Prison, where they found thirty
five prisoners. The prison, in charge of Gideon
Herbert, Esq, Warden under Sheriff John K.
Harvey, is kept clean, and we'll conducted. We
recommend that the County Commissioners
have q cocoa-nut carpet placed on the entrance
floor, and in the Office of the jail.
We call your attention, and also that of the
County Commissioners, to Article Of the Local
Laws, Vol. 2, page 116, Sec. l25. We find from
the return furnished to us by the Clerk of the
Court, that only seven* Constables, viz:
EPHRAIS BCRRYMAN, of the 4th District

NATHANIEL SPIcER, and
JARRETT N. MATHEWS, 9Th
HENRY s. WRIGHT, 9TH

WILLIAM II. KNIGHT, " 18th
have properly qualified as required by law,
consequently all others who are acting as such
are doing so illegally.
We also coll the attention of the County Com
missioners to the bad state of the walks in the
Court House Lot and suggest the propriety Of
having them put in proper order.
We return our thanks to the Sheriff, John X.
Harvey, for his attention, and also TO his Dep
uty, Charles T. Harvey, for the prompt manner
in which he procured the attendance of witness
ses, thereby enabling us to bring the business
before us to q speedy close.

books of the Treasurer Of the School Commits

} How to Cook q Beefsteak.

a becfsteak ought always to be broiled
and never fried; but the following
method of cooking is recommended by
a Mrs. Sutton, which even those who are
accustomed to frying may be willing to
try: t.r.q .s. ...........- .......
I The frying pan being wiped very dry,
place il upon the stove and let it become
hot-very hot In the meantime man.
gle the stesk--if it chance to be sir loin,
so much the better pepper and salt 1t,
then lay it on the hot, dry pan, which
instantly cover as tightly as possible.
When the raw flesh touches the heated
pan, of course it seethes and adheres to
It, but in few seconds it becomes loos
ened and juicy. Every half minute
turn the steak; but be careful to keep
it as much as possible under cover
When nearly done lay small piece
of butter upon it; and if you want
much gravy, add tablespoonful OF
strong coffee. In three minutes from
the time the steak first goes into the pan
it is ready for the table This method
of cooking makes the most delicious,
delicately broiled steak, full of juice, yet
retaining the healthy beefy flavor, that
any John Bull could require. tilsf
The same method may be applied to
mutton chops, only they require a little
longer cooking to prevent them from be-
ing rare e. An excellent gravy may be
made from them by adding little cream,
thiekened with a pinch of flour, into
which, when off the fire and partly cool,
stir in the yolk of an egg, well beaten.

Literary Scandal.
The New York correspondent gof the
Cvracnea To,trDnI eavq

The New York correspondent gof the
Syracuse Journal says
A curious bit Of literary scandal is
quietly circulating in town to-day, and
occasioning some amusement and more
indignation. You have doubtless receiv-
ed, and read with proper interest, DIR.
Cravens narrative of the prison life of
Jefferson Davis--a book that pprports TO
be disclosure of the conversations aud
opinions of the distinguished prisoner of
state. As sueh, the book was received
ms n valuable addition to American biog-
raphy-7nOt very reputable one consid-
ering the way in which il was made mp,
but still valuable and interesting. The
papers of Saturday gave copious extracts
from them--the World TO the extent of
two pages and a half, and the other pa
pers giving from three TO four columns
each to extracts and resume of its con
tents. But this morning the fact Leaks
out that DR.. Craven, having little tact at
bookmaking, employed that prince of
literary Bohemiana Private Miles
O'Reilly, TO work up his notes in the
artistic style, for which the 'O'Reilly'
IL somewhat famed. He has made very
interesting book, but people would really
like 10 know whether they are rernsing
DR.. Craven's records of genuine conver
sationg or only the brilliant, imaginative
inventions Of n man who has no literary
conscience, whatever may be his abilities.
