LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
6 Grand Jury.


next grand jury meets in November. The
following is an extract from their report:
The parish prison is well managed. There
are 235 prisoners confined there, greatly in
need of clothing. The bdildng is dlapi-
dated, the floor of the main entrance is rot
ten. 1t is impossible to keep this plision in
good order.
The city workhouse is kept in good order.
ia men and 10 women are confined there at
labor The walls are insecure, the building
is not suitable, and the removal of the
workhouse is recommended to some dis
tance from the city, where the prisoners
might be employed in farming, as better cal
culated to fit them for active service after
discharge.
The boys house of reiuge contains 98 boys,
all in good health.
The girls house of refuge, containing SO
girls, is also well managed.
The city jails are in good condition, OK
cept that of the first district, at the corner
of st. Charles and Lafayette streets The
jury say - 1t is literally foul house, and
is most disgraeeldl to the city. From its
obnoxious yapors it is Is nuisance to the
surrounding ncighbOrhood and Il bane to
its health. We would most respectfully
suggest that it be removed to some more
suitable building and less pOpulOus locality.
The officer in charge, Lieut.. Manning, de-
serves great credit in keeping it as well as
| the unsuitable location of the building Will
| allow. In parting with this subject we
re rpectfully advise an inspection of the pre-
misses by the hoard Of health"

474 patients, of which number l0l are sea
men, all of whom receive the best care and

| 81 white men, 46 white women, II colorcd
men, and 26 colored women, under the care
of Mr.. Just Trudeau, who is highly Compli-

stituton is kept. The building is much too
small, and repairs and additional cells are
| needed.

tains l05 inmates. mostly employed in sew
ing and washing. The extension the water

mended.
The Asylum Of the Immaculate Conception

building is good, but needs plastering anC
| Whitewashing.
The Widows Aged and Infrm asvlum

Unless relief is afforded this institution Wi
