Report OF the Grand Jury-Aprii Term
OF the Alexander Circuit Court.

Alexander County, Illinois
Your grand jury before closing their
labors, visited the county Jail, agreeablv
10 the request OF your honor, and found
the same TO be i'm a clearly and whole
some condition, We inquired particu-
larry Of the prisoners regarding their
treatment, diet, &C., TO each and all Of
which satisfactory answers werereturned.
We noticed that some portions OF the
floor and ceiling are very much out Of
repair and should at once be attended to-
The grand jury once more (as former
Juries have repeatedly done) would ear
nestly call the attention OF your honora-
BILE body, AS we'll rs the judges of the
county court, to the cramped, cribbed
and confined quarters assigned them in
which pursue their deliberations. The
room is entirely inadequate for the pur-
pose intended. il being impossible for the
witness to face but portion of the jury
mt time; and during the summer months
insupportable from heat, and in the win
ter as equally uncomfortable from the
close proximity of the stove (which is
Unavoidable owing TO the want of room)
to the seats OF the jurors. We would
suggest that folding doors be placed
between the front room and the one AID
Joining, to be opened when the grand
jury Is In session, which would obviate
the present difficulty. The room In Its
present filthy, crowded condition, is an
insult to the jurors who are compelled to
transact their business within Its narrow
limits, and we earnestly recommend all
future grand juries to refuse to transact
any business or meet for their delibera-
tons, unless more proper place is pro-
vided for them. To this we each and all
OF us pledge ourselves whenever we are
again called upon to serve as grand ju.

A Daring AStAnsbs ~ Iasssaaaris.s.
,-Afsw nights ago q citizen living In the
upper part Of the city, happening to be
up at late hour of the night, or rather
an early hour Of the morning, discovered
flames issuingf nom thestoop OF the house
on Twenty.elghth street, occupied by
Mr.. Harrison Stump. He, ,hastened to
the spot, and wxter being cohvenient,
he ektihsuishsd theinI fNhaK0o X10y2
At the time, Mr. stump was lying in
bed, seriously III, and couple OF lady
inmates Of the house, who had been
Watching him had just fallen asleep.
Taking advantage OF THE condition OF
affairs. some Internal scoundrel saturated
the steps and front door sill with coal oil,
adding fragments Of pine box, and ap-
piled match thereto. This door being
the only entrance TO the house, the In.
mates could only have escaped by jump
ing from the windows. ten or twelve feet,
to the ground, or by rushing through the
flames. Mr.. Stump, who was excestl-
ingly weak, would nevitably have per-
ished In the building had not the fire
been promptly arrested. The women
might have escaped, but not without In
jury. 1t Is quite clear, take any view OF
the case we may, that some fiend in hu-
man shape intended to burn the building
hoping and believing that the inmates
would perish In tie flames. We can form
no other conclusion.
Asack OF shavings, fragments OF pine
box and some matches were found in
the vicinity, which, II Is hoped, may fur
nish clue to the incepdiary.

THE EYE OF AN EAGLH

The eyes of all birds have q popularity
of structure which enables them to see
and hear distant objects equally we'll, and
this wonderful power is carried to the
greatest perfection in the birds of prey.
When we recolIect that an eagle viii as
cend more than mile in perpendicular
height, aud from that enormous elevation
will perceive its unsuspecting prey and
pounce on it with unerring certainty, and
when we see the same bird scrutinizing
with microscopic niccty an object close at
hand, we shall at once perceive that he
possesses power of accomm odating his
sight to distance in manner to which
our eye is untitled, and of which it is to-
tally incapable.
If we take printed page we shall find
that there is some particular distance,
probably ten inches, at which We can
read the words and see each letter with
perfect distinetness; but if We move
page to the distance of forty inches We
shall find it impossible to read at all sci
entifc men would therefore call ten inch
es the focus or foci distance of our eyes.
We cannot alter this focus except by the
aid Of spectacles.
But an eagle has the power of altering
the focus of his eye as he pleases; he has
only to look at an object, at the distance
of two feet or two miles, in order to see
1t with perfect distinctness. The bali of
his eye is surrounded by fifteen little
plates, called sciorotie bones. They form
a complete ring, and their edges slightly
overlap each other.
When he looks at distant object this
little circle of bone expands, and the ball
of the eye being relieved from the pres
sure becomes hatter; and when he looks
at very near object the little bones
press together aud the ball of the eye is
thus squeezed into rounder or more
convex form. The effect is very familiar
to every body. A person with very
round eyes is near-sighted, and only SECS
clearly an object that is close to him, and
a person with fat eyes, as in old age, can
see nothing clear except at a distance
ghe eagle, by the mere will, can make
his eye round or fat, and see with equal
.clearness at any distance.
