l.. Aimee Richard,
The charge of the Judge to the
Grand Jury was quite brief, and con-
sisted simply of matters specially
designated in the statutes as subjects
to be brought to the attention of
Grand Juries, with special reference
to the pernicioas aud Unlawful prac-
tees of carrying concealed weapons
and selling liquor to minors. The
Jury at once entered upon their
duties, bat on Wednesday their fore
man was unable to attend on account
OF illness and his indisposition has
continued to this time, in consequence
OF which the Jnry have done nothing
since Tuesday. Yesterday the Judge
adjourned the Grand jury until Mon
day, by which time it is expected Mr..
Mccall viii have recovered his health
sufficiently to resume his functions as
foreman. The final report of the Jury
will, therefore, be made some time
during the second week of the term.

synopsis of the business transacted up
to the hour of adjournment to. day:
