GRAND JURY REPORT.


To the Hon. County Court of the County
of Shasta.
We the Grand Jury empanneled for this
the January Term of this Court A. ID. lS!3
having completed the business of the session,
most respectfully submit our final report, as
follows:
We have carefully and diligently examin-
ed into all cases brought before us, or pre-
sented to US for examination, and have found
two true bills of indictment which have been
previously presented, as follows: One for
Murder in the Second Degree, and one for
attempt to commit Rape, and we have ignor
ed two charges.
The committee appointed by us to examine
the County Jail, report that the Jail is kept
in neat and proper condition, and that the
prisoners confined therein stated that they
were comfortable and had no complaints tC
make, but that they find the floor of the jail
needs some repairs, a portion of it having
rotted away ana we would therefore recon-
mend the Hon. Board of Supervisors to ex
anime the same and have the necessary re
pairs made as soon as practicable.
The committee appointed to examine the
County Hospital and condition of the patients
therein. report that they made inquiries o
the patients there who stated that they were
we'll treat and properly cared for, and made
no complaints of any kind that the 'institu
ton appears to be kept in a proper manner
with the exception that it did not seem tC
be kept as neat and clean as an institution
of that character should be; also, that there
is no fence around the Hospital grave yard
although the matter was called to the atten
ton of the Hon Board of Supervisors by a
former Grand Jury.
We would therefore again earnestly rec
ommend the Hon. Board of Supervisors, that
they at as early date as possible cause ii
to be enclosed with plain and. substantial
fence.
The Committee on public records report
that they find the Books of the various off
GERS kept in very neat condition. That
they also find considerable derilectiOn of duty
in some of the past officers in not enforcing
the collection of Taxes, that they find that
stock men have been permitted to leave the
county With large bands Of cattle without
paying the taxes on the sans. Others who
are residents in the county, men of property,
both real and personal, who have been suf-
fered to 90 delinquent; also, that the follow
ing named persons are doing business within
the county without license:
A. Coleman. Shasta A. CusicIl, Tower
House; VIM Watson, French Gulch; NJ.
B. Hickey, Whiskytown John Sisk, Churn-
town which is all contrary to law and we
would earnestly enjoin the. proper officers to
proceed against said parties Immediately.

The FIRsr.-Edward johnson, of Buckeye
was the first colored grand juryman evel
drawn in Shasta county, and he ofhciated in
that capacity during the session last week,
and we have good Democratic authority fol
saying that he performed his part of the du-
ties intelligently. Some oftbe Greeley Dem.
ocrats expressed aversion at the idea of sitting
on a jury with negro, but the Republicans
and O'Conor men declare that they could
find no reasonable objections-that the negro
was the equal Of an average Greeleyite so fal
as they were capable of judging.

Mexican Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

Probably few articles have
ever had SO extensive a Sale,
while none have been more uni
versally benifcial than the cele-
brated Mexican Mustang Lini-
ment. Children, Adults, Horses,
and Domestic Animals, are al
ways liable to accident, and it is
safe to say, that no family can
pass a single season without some
kind of an emollient being nee
essary. 1t becomes matter of
importance then to secure the
best.
Over three hundred livery stables in the city
of New York alone are using the Mexican Mus
tang Liniment, in all of which it gives unusua!
satisfac ton.
CAUTION.-The genuine is wrapped in a fine
Steel Plate engraving with &c. W. Westbrook
Chemist and .sTrade Mark, Mexican Mustang

Fruit Cans.

It is not likely that there will be
very large amount of fruit in this
section this summer; nevertheless.
the following paragraph may be of
advantage to some Of our readers /:
All preserved fruits and vegeta-
bIes should be stored in glass, that
no metal of any kind should be
brought in contact with them
Fruits contain more or less yegeta-
BILE acids; others that are highly
corrosive and often formed by fer
mentation, and metallic vessels are
thus considerably acted upon. Tin
cans are held together by a solder,
an alloy into which lead enters
largely. This metal is easily cor
roded by vegetable acids, and pois-
onous salts are formed.

Pruning in Midsummer.

1t is many years since, from our
own experience, we recommended
people to prune at midsummer, al.
though we know it was opposed to
the views of many eminent horticul-
turists. At that time it was regard
ed as a bold innovation OH establish
ed rules, and we have often since
seen articles to show that summer
pruning must be wrong. The reas-
Oning by which this is supported is
no doubt very good. 1t does seem,
by the reasoning we have referred
to, that it ought to be wrong to prune
at that season; but, on the other
hand, we have the evidence of our
own senses not only that no harm
but absolute good resulted from the
summer pruning of the trees.
But it seems to be forgotten by
many good people that there are two
sides to every story-two sides to
winter pruning and two sides to
summer pruning. Few OF these hor-
ticultural operations are unmixed
good or unmixed evil. In any case
what we wish to accomplish is to be
gained at little expense Of good
points-good if we are after some
other object. So in this summer
pruning question. 1t is said by per-
sons whom the whole horticultural
community respect, that "winter
pruning strengthens, while summer
pruning weakens trees" IF one
were to deprive a tree of the whole
of its foliage this would probably be
true enough to work serious injury.
It's on the principle on which noxi0us
weeds are destroyed. Denuded Of
every leaf as fast as one appears, a
plant is often killed in enc season.
But may this not be different when
only q few branches are taken Off?
The remaining leaves and branches
have more food at their disposal.

Clean and Dry Stables.

4 horse will endure severe cold
weather without much Inconvenience
so long as he is furnished with a dry
stable. But require him to stand on
a wet, foul floor, and his health will
soon begin to fail. Horses often
uffer from cold feet and legs, as
many stables have damp and wet
floors. Few men who handle horses
give proper attention to their feet
aud legs. Especially is this the case
on farms. Much time is spent of a
morning in rubbing, brushing and
smoothing the hair On the sides and
hips, but at no time are the feet ex-
amined and properly cared for. The
feet Of a horse require more care
than the body. They need ten
times as much, for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse.
All the grooming that can be done
won't avail anything if the horse is
forced TO stand where his feet will
be filthy. The feet will become dis
ordered, and then the legs will get
badly out of fix; and with bad feet
and bad legs. there is not much else
Of the horse fit for anything. Stable
prisons generally are very severe on
the feet and legs of horses; and I'M
less the buildings can afford dry
room. where a horse can walk around
lie down or roll over, they arc not
half so healthy or comfortable to the
horse as the pasture. and should be
avoided by all good hostlers in the
country.

Liquid Manure.

Liquid manure has a wonderful eff
feet upon garden plants, and may be
used both in the vegetable and in
the ornamental departments. The
best time to apply it is just before a
shower. For tender lowering plants
it must be weak. A tablespoonful
of guano, or a small handful of fowl
droppings to a gallon Of water will
make it strong enough Soap suds
may be used in the same way.
