have been in session twenty four days, have
examined two hundred witnesses. investigated
eighty cases, found twenty nine true bills, and
dismissed fifty one minor cases, for want OF
sufficient evidence. most Of which seems tn

or revenge. Our report compared with the
reports Of former Grand Juries, shows de
crease of crime throug bout the county which
we believe is due principally to the re ruation
this Court has gained for meeting swift r@trl
button to every ma!eiactor convicted al ~

We have visited the Jail aud bave been eour
teousIy received by the Sheriff and invited 10
inspect the prison, and we cannot too highly
com mend the Sheriff and his efficient assistants
for the neat and orderly manner in which the
prison is kept, and every thing seems to be none
10 promote the comfort of tn prisoners.
The Grand Jury would most respectfully re
quest that a new License Book be furnished
tor the Grand Jury. properly distric'td am
alphabetically formed as the old book is sn
indiscriminate that it is impossible for the ju

what purpose.
We cannot close this req ort without extend

Attorney and his Deputy for their valuable as
sistance and gentlemanly department.
Very Respectfully,

question oi ime till every family in the lsnd
will hav' one OF these helpers il their tub.
BY reference to The cut il will be seen chat
this machine is but little larger than wringer,
and that IT is attached to a common wash tub
IN such manner that it can be easily and
quickly takeE cut. The bottom board is made
long enough To tit any sized tub. In washing
the clothes are passed rapidly between the roll
lers, and the pressure exerted by the springs
forces the water through the cl' thes There is
no friction or rubbing-the washing is done en-
tirely by pressure, as experience has proven it
to be the only correct principle.
The Complete Washer will wash a carpet or
bed-quilt, or q fine lace curtain or collar.

washed by hand, il halt the time aud with half
the labor.
1t is SO durable that the manufacturer does
not hesitate to warrant it for five years.

AssAULT.--Just after dark on Wednesday
evening last, R. R. Boarman, Esq, of this town,
was assaulted on the Belair road, inside of the
city limits, by party of rufians Mr.. Boar
man had been out the road to attend to some
business, after having transacted which he
started towards the city. He had proceeded
but a short distance when he was halted by a
man who asked if his name was not Brown. =
Mr.. B. said it was not, and the ruffian insisted
that it was, at the same time giving shrll
whistle when number of other men sprang
up as if by magic, and at once an assault was
commenced upon the supposed Brown. Mr..
Boarman was struck several times in the face
and once on the back of the head, and whilst
endeavoring to ward off the blows, he called
for assistance and on the approach of several
other men the Williams fed. Fortunately Mr..
Boarman was not seriously hurt. The men
were all strangers to him, but he thinks he
would recognize them should he see them
again. 1t is to be hoped the scoundrels, whose
object was evidently robbery, may be appre-
hended.
