every part of Northumberland county, is extensively

these vendues are advertised the greater will be the

suit will be more bidders and higher prices.

Ey IMPROVEMENT AT THE JAIL.-Sherif Beck

County Jail by erecting grating in front of the

from coming in close proximity to the prisoners,
that nothing be given them without the knowl
edge of the Sheriff. If this improvement had been
made years ago it would, no doubt, have saved the
county and the officers considerable expense.
