REPORT
OF THE
GRAND JURY
ON THE
Condition of the Jail.
FEBRUARY TERM, 1872.

To the Honorable Judges
Of the Circuit Court for Hartford County,:
THE Grand Jurors for February Term,
l. 1872, most respectfully represent that
we visited the Jail. We find therein five
negro men, confined for the following of.
fences:
One serving an unexpired sentence; three
for larceny; one for rape one negro wo-
man for producing death of child by expo
sure and neglect; one white man for break
ing in house and other riotous conduct
all of whom we found in as comfortable
condition as the building will afford
AS your Honors' attention has so often
been called to the condition of the build
ing, we feel it unnecessary to further call
attention to the same.
We also beg leave to report to your Hon
ors that we have taken cognizance of all re-
ported violations of law, and all cases
which in our judgment, the evidence was
sufficient, we have presented to the Court
for disposal.

THE hartford COUNTY RAILROAD.

The corporators of this road met in Bel
Air, on Monday, and made the necessary ar
engagements to receive subscriptions to its
capital stock. These subscriptions are not
to be binding unless 1000 shares, at $50 per
share, amounting to 100000, are subscribed
for. BY the terms of subscription, also, the
road must be commenced or contracted for
within one year from the 1st day of May,
1872; otherwise the subscriptions will be
void. After 1900 shares are subscribed for,
the sum of So on each share may be called
for by the coporators or board of directors,
and the residue in instruments of S. on each
share, payable at intervals of not less than
thirty days. The charter Of company permits
subscriptions in land, and in such case So on
each share must be paid in cash, and the res.
idue in land, Mt price to be agreed upon by
arbitrator.
Thus it will be seen that the terms of pay
ment are made so easy that almost every one
who would be benefited by the road can sub
scribe for its stock. With 100000 expend.
ed towards its construction, the assurance is
ample that it will be finished Not shad-
oW of q doubt exists in our minds that the
road will be successful, in the way of attract
ing business, and the longer it is operated
the greater will its traffic be. This is the
well-known experience of every railroad.
Even if the stock should not pay one cent of
interest, as an investment or should even de-
preciate from its par value, it would still be
profitable venture to every man who owns
Il foot of land within reach of the railroad.
The increased value of his property, from the
enlarged advantages of improving it, and the
facility of reaching market for his produc-
tons, would alone compensate for any out
lay he might make to secure the road.
The present effort is not mere talk, but
that the gentlemen who are moving in this
matter mean business, is apparent from the
fact, that instead of wasting time in demon
strating, at public meetings, that railroad
is Il prime necessity to our people-a fact
universally admitted-they have set to work
theoretically to solicit subscriptions towards
building it, Thus far, they have. met with
gratifying success. Many of those who sub.
scribed when the project was first mooted,
have increased the amount of their subscrp-
tons, and thus the project is fairly under
way. The road can now be made, if those
whom it would benefit desire it. The utmost
limit of expansion in Hartford seems to have
been reached, unless the people are afforded
railroad facilities. The want ofthese has de-
TERED many enterprising men from settling
among us; and has even operated to drive
capital and energy away from our county
If Hartford would increase in prosperity to
the extent that her location and material
wealth enttle her to expect railroads must
be built; and We therefore stand ready to
lend our aid towards any enterprise which
will tend to develope the great resources
which abound in our county.

Is On motion of Nathan Grafton, w. w.
Taylor arose and stated that he had view
ed the different routes, and that the road
could be built for the sum of $4,000 per
mile, and urged the necessity OF the peo-
pie taking hold of said road and putting
it through, and naming the different ad-
vantages the people would receive from the
construction of said road. Mr.. Taylor
spoke for some time on the success the mar
row-gauge road had met with where they
were built, and assured the people OF this
county that if they would subscribe $4,000
per mile that the road would be built with
out q doubt. The following committees
were appointed to raise funds for the pur-
pose of surveying the two proposed routes.

ResOloed, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the people of Hartford and Balti-
more counties have been long enough de-
prived of the benefit of railroad commune
cation with the chief Metropolis of the
State, and that they will use every means
in their power and feel that it is within the
means of the people to subscribe at least
$4,000 OF stock per mile to insure the con-
struction Of a narrow gauge railroad as the
one best adapted to their wants.
The meeting thsn adjourned to meet at

day, the 23d March, at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.

ABINGDON, March eth, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR: think you very rarely re-
ceiye a communication from our district, al.
though letters informing you of such things
as are thought worthy of notice in other parts
of the county, appear quite frequently in the
Hsgis. hope that from this exceptional 81
lence on our part, it has not been inferred
that we really have nothing among us worth
mentioning, because such an inference would
be quite erroneous, and it would perhaps be
nearer the truth to attribute our silence to n
little too much Indifference as to what other
people may think of us, than to want of
anything of interest enough to be worth com
municating | do not, however, intend, at
this time, TO give an account of any of
the recent progressive movements in this vi
entity, such as the erection Of some of the
handsomest and most costly dwellings to be
found perhaps in the county, and other i'm
provements of like interesting character.

The Delta and Baltimore Railroad.

Another railroad project ofvast Importance
TO large scope of country is the contemplat.
cd narrow-gauge road from Delta, by way of
La Grange, Jarrettsvillc and Towsontown
to Baltimore. A meeting was held at JAR
rettsvillc on Saturday, when Mr.. W. W.
Taylor, civil engineer, stated that the road
could be made for $4,000 per mile, and that
if $4,000 per mile were raised, the balance
would be forthcoming and the road would he
built. Ii would appear that this amount
should be raised without much difficulty, and
it can he, if the people along the route will
set TO work in earnest, and resolve to make
some sacrifices To accomplish the desired oh.
ject.
With our county ntersectcd by railroads,
we shonld experience n measure of prospect
ty for every interest in our midst that is
scarcely conceivable, and which can never
he realized without these indispensable tacil-
tiles to business. We hope that neither of
the projects we have named will he suffered
to drop, through incrtncsS ON the part of
those interested, bHt that they may both be
pushed forward to II successful issue.

The LEATHER STOCKING RoMANCEs.-
The readers attention is called to d. Apple
ton & Cos. advertisement, in another column,
OF anew edition of the leading novels of Fen
more Cooper, designed specially for popular
circulation. The first of the series will be
The Last of the Mohicans," which will ap-
pear with numerous new illustrations by F.
o. G. barley. The style publication will
be the popular octave form, with paper COW
ers, the purpose being to render the novels
rs low in price as possible. Heretofore there
has been no edition of this acknowledged
head OF American romancists suitable for
general popular circulation, and hence the
new issue of these famous novels will be well
coined by the generation of readers that have
sprung up since Cooper departed from MS.
As time progresses, the character, genius and
value of the Cooper romances become more
widely recognized; lie is now accepted as
the great classic of our American literature,
and his books as the prose epics of our early
history.
