Of the Court room, as is generally believed

longing to the Probate Judges office, the

Recorder, are insecure and liable to be de.
stroyed by fire; and

is greatly and seriously impeded by reason
of the want Of proper jury and witness
rooms, and a suitable place to hold the
terms Of said Court; and
WHEREAS, The Grand Jury, for several
years past, have reported the insecurity of
the Jail, therefore,
ResOloed, Thatin the opinion Of the mem
bers Of the Bar, County Officers, and other

able place for holding Court, and safe and
secure offices for the preservation and safe

ESLAhGEMENT or THE HERALD The ar.
rangcments have been made, By which we
will be able to enlarge and otherwise i'm.
prove Che fAYETrE County HERALD, in the
neighborhood of six weeks. In order to
affect this, we have been compelled to pur.
chase new press aud TO incur other ex.
penditures Of cash.
The present size Of our paper is made
quate to the necessities Of the onward
movements and demands Of this progress
sive age Wewant more room, in order
to do justice to, and to keep pace with the
improvements that are rapidly being made
in our Town and Countyi and by this pro
posed enlargement Of our paper, we shall
better be able to make it reflect the growth,
prosperity and best interests of our Town
and our rich County. and hope to be able
to extend its circulation to hundreds Of
families where it hrs never as yet, been a
weekly visitor The price will be the
same us heretofore, two dollars a year in
advance, and the quantity of reading mat
ter from one fourth to one-third more. If,
by the increase of labor and money that
will be necessarily incurred in making the
paper larger and more attractive, the peo
pie Of our County shall think it merits a
more extensive patronage, we shall expect
that ourlabors will lie rewarded by large
of subscribers to our present list.
We now print over 100 papers a week,
and when the paper is enlarged we ought
to have at lpast 1900 subscribers, and an
increase of advertising patronage, If the
friends of the HERALD and its objects, will
put themselves to work in good earnest,
in every neighborhood in the County, our
list can easily be increased to 1900 sub
and perhaps more. We intend
TO work hard to make the HERLAD worth |
its subscription price to every one that
takes it. In it's local department, alone,
It sha II be worth two dollars year to
each one of its subseribers. We ask our
friends to lend us their aid and encourage
ment that we may increase the influence
Of the HERALD.

Ny business calling me lately to be in
and about Bloomingburg after dark, | have
been surprised to find the place infested
with hordes of boys, white and black; OBJ
scene, profane and vulgar; who seem to
have no regard for the rights and feelings
of anybody. ] believeit is really danger
ous for country boy to go to Blooming
burg at night, understand the colored
boys have determined the Academy gate
shall not stand and tits rended from its
hinges as oftenas it is put up We would
suggest to some of the families that are
raising their boys in the street, and who
allege that they connot help it, that those
that are eentirely unmanageable be sent to
the Reform School at Lancaster Several
of them are just such characters as are
sent there, and they would have no trouble
in getting them in. 1t is the boys that
are raised in idleness and are in the street
day and night, who are becoming intolera.
BILE nuisances At the Reform School, they
would at least, learn decency and indus
try. and possibly escape the gallows er
peniten'iary, and he Il credit to their friends
at home
