were bound to- do under their fathers

out good cause, and had thereby waiv-
ed her rights under the provision of
the viii, and gave Judgment for de-
PENDANTS. Notice for appeal given.
Several other Judgments by default
and by consent were taken, and a
large number of cases continued.
On Thursday morning the Grand
Jury made their final report, which
is as follows:
The Jury have been in session seven
days; have examined JIG witnesses
andfound43 Indictments. They have
visited the. Jail and. found the same
kept as well and in as good condition
as the nature of the structure and its
want of repair will admit, but the
Jury a that1the Jail, in their opin-
ion, is unhealthy and wholly unsuited
to confine human beings, having re-
gard to their health, and earnestly re-
commend the building of anew Jail.
We believe sthere has not been a
Grand Jury empannelled in the past
four years, but that a portion of their
report consists of condemnatoiy re
marks about the Jail. These reports
are duly certified down to the County
Commissioners, and are there tied up
in red tape and pigeon-holed. It is a
waste of time to have the G. j. visit
the Jail until a change is made in the
board of Commissioners, by the elec-
ton of sensible, enterprising, public
spirited men.
The following is q summary of the
Indictments found: Grand larceny l.;
Petitlarceny 5 Stealing mareI L; Bur-
glary and larceny 1; House breaking
L: Assault and battery 3; CARRYING
concealed weapons /; Getting intoxi-
Gated /; Selling liquor g.; Bribing
witness /; For cutting and stealing
trees and receiving stolen property 20
making a total of 43. The last TWEEN.
ty indictments are against citizens OF
Monroe townshipfo for cutting and car
rying off timber from the School and
in that Township, owned by Cincin'
natl Township, Hamilton County, o.
and for receiving logs known to be
stolen. Several of the best citizens Of
the Township are implicated, and it is
to be hoped that they may be able te
acquit themselves honorobly of the
charges against them.

posed of as far as possible this week
