WINDSOR COUNTY JAII-The Wood
stock Standard thus announces the ac-
ton Of the Windsor county Judges in
reference to the repairs of the Windsor
county jail: Our county Judges have
finally decided upon a plan for the repair
of the Jail which will make it what it
ought to be, a very commodious and hab-
liable tenement The cells and inner
partitions are all to be taken out, which
can be done without disturbing the outer
walls, and two tier of three cells each,
the partitions of which will be of brick
constructed on the rear side, while the
front will be thrown into one large room
some fourteen and half by about sixteen
feet. two stories in height. The cells will
accommodate two cots each, end to end,
and in an emergency second tier, after
the manner of sleepiny cars, can be ex-
temporized. We take pleasure in ohron-
icing this very wise decision on the part
of the judges. The cost of this new plan
will be comparatively light as the stone
obtained by making the change can be
sold for five or six hundred dollars.

EDITORIAL DUTIEs.-Mr. Hunt in his
volume on the Fourth Estate" thus
sketches the peculiar duties of a jour
nalist:
"The man who once becomes jour
nalist must almost bid farewell to mental
rest or mental leisure If he fulfills his
duties truthfully, his attention must be
awake to what is passing in the world,
and his whole mind must be devoted to
instant examination and discussion, and
record Of events. He has little time for
literary idleness, with such literary labors
on his shoulders He has no labor days
to spend on catalogues, or in dreary dis
cursive researches in public libraries.
He has no months to devote to the ex-
haustion of any one theme. What he
has to deal with must be taken up at
moments notice, be examined, tested and
dismissed at once; and thus his mind is
ever kept occupied with the mental ne
cessity Of the worlds passing hour"

~ OF which we give as reported in the

The Judge delivered to the jury a brief
charge imprcssing upon them the inpor-
lance of impartinlity in arriving at YER
diets and The great evil of men acting rs

kfstt4e<, " la get upon- llnrles Tor the very
purpose Of giving verdict to parties for
whom they may feel an interest. Some
persons, there i reason 20 believe, hang
about court for the purpose of clandos'
timely influencing the jury, and he sand y
any authentic eases of this kind should
come tn the knowledge of the court the
parties - offending would not find 1t a
vrr, profitable employment The judge
said he was led 10 this line of remark by the
fact that recently there have been eases il
the State where the thiug has bee,
practi,ed. particularly the Mechanics vii
ease in Rutland whore 1t was carried o.
most openly and shamefully, And he hac

SwANroN SOLDIERS MONUMENT
The town of Swanton is doing splendid
and patriotic work in memory of the sol
dicrs sacrificed in the war of the rebel
lion. Through the persevering efforts Of
Col A. B, 'Jewett, and Col Y. G. Barney,
officers of the town last year, 1900 We're
voted for the purpose of building such q
monument as should fifty commemorate
the sacrifices of that town in the war, and
the work is now going on in the marble
shop of Mr.. David Perry in that town.
The design was made, we are informed,
by, Coils. Jewett and Barney. The mate
rial is Isle LaMotte marble, gray, to be
surmounted with beautiful statute in
white marble. The design, which we
have not yet had the pleasure of examin-
ing, but which is spoken of as eminently
appropriate, is for base, pedestal and
statue. 1t will be completed in the course
Of a few weeks, and will be erected, we
doubt not, with appropriate ceremonies

STATE PRIsoN PRrSrlSG.-The New York Leg
slature, says the Tresposs, contracted with par
ties allow the services of seventy-fve convicts
at Sing Sing in printing, stereotyping, electro
typing, etc. On look through the prison no
printers could be found. The intention was, to
train the convcts to the work. The typograph-
ical society here took up the case, and protested
against prostiuting "the art preservative" in
this manner. The Assembly has passed bill
abrogating the contract, and the contractors talk
of coming on the State for damages. \ propo-
siion was made in in the Ohio Legisature-in
ls49, if we remember right-to establish State
Printing Office in the State Prison at Columbus.
1t was found that not printer was incarcerated
with whom TO begin the work 1t was suggested
that printers could be employed TO instruct con-
victs. That failed and when the talk of i'm
porting an instruction force came up indigna-
ton rose so high that the bill was incontinently
tabled, and the author o. it never got back TO
the Legislature.
