The Grand Jury for Richland Dis
trict, Spring Term, submitted the
following presentment:
That the public buildings of this
District have all been DESTROYED. and
we recommend that they be rebuilt as
speedily as possible
The Grand Jury have no recon-
mendations to make in regard to the
public roads. They find them in as
good condition as could be expected
under the circumstances, and they
know of no dereliction of duty on the
part of the Commissioners of Roads.
The Grand jury are informed that
there is some suffering at the District
Poor House, and recommend that the
Commissioners of the Poor provide
Dedlcal attendance and make such
additional provision for the comfort
of the inmates as NAV be necessary.

tient, and recommend that the appro-
pratlon for that object be increased.

ham. freedmen charged with house

commissioners of Public Buildings
10 procure suitable rooms for the
accommodation of prisoners at the
Lunatlc Asylum, (if possible, or some
other secure place; and that iail for
the District be built as early as pos
sible
TIE Doctor. Everybody knows
the doctor;a a very important person
he is to us all. What could we do
without him? He brings us into this
world, and tries to keep Us as long
IN 1t as he can, and as long as our
bodies can hold together; and he is
with us at that strange and last hour.
which will come to us all, when we
must leave this world, and 90 into
the next. When we are well. we
perhaps think little about the doctor.
or we have our small joke at him and
his drugs; but let anything go wrong
with our bodies-that wonderful ta-
bernacle in which our soul dwells-
let any of its wheels go wrong-then
off we fly to him. If the mother
thinks her husband or child is dying,
how she runs to him and urges him
with her tears; how she watches his
face, and follows his searching eve as
he examines the dear sufferer; how
she wonders what he thinks; what
would she give to know what he
knows? how she wearies for his visit:
how q cheerful word from him makes
her heart leap with JOY. and gives
her spirit and strength to watch over
the bed OF distress. Her whole soul
goes out to him in unspeakable graft
tude when he brings back to her
from the power Of the grave her hus-
band or darling child. The doctor
knows many ofollr secrets-of our sor-
rows-which no one else knows: some
81 our sins. perhaps, which the great
God alone else knows How many
lives and hearts he carries in Is
heart and in his hands so, you -
he IS a very important person, We
doctor, and we should do our best 20
make the most of him, and to do our
duty to him and ourselves.
