The so-called bell-punch is made
in various ways, but one is a nearly
square box, that sets upon the coun-
ter. Within is q cylinder upon
which . slip of paper is rolled,
which unr0lls. When a party pays
for drink the bartender pushes
down q little spindle, which rings a
bell, and at the same time unrolls
the paper about half an inch and
punches q hole in the alp. The bit
OF paper punched out falls into a
metal box, to which no one except
the legal authorities can obtain &C
cess. The man who pays for his
drink will be likely to watch for the
ring Of the bell, and if he does not
hear it, it is evidence to him of q
dishonest bar keeper.-(E Exchange.

Report Of the Grand Jury.

To the Hon. e. W. Turner, Judge Of
the 18th Judicial District Court,
holding Sessions at Bellevue, Bos.
sier Parish, Louisiana:
The Grand Jury empanneled and
sworn, for the March Term, 1878, of
your Honor's Court, beg leave re-
specially to report at the close Of
their labors, in regard to the mat
tiers that have engaged their atten.
ton.
They have passed upon and found
a number of bills, and from the dis.
position manifested by our citizens
generally, We feel satisfied that
hereafter there will be few infrac-
tons Of the law that will not be
brought to the notice of the author
tiles to be dealt with, and there
seems to be a growing disposition to
have crime punished whenever the
proof justifies a conviction.
The Public Roads are not in as
good condition as desirable; but in
consequence of recent heavy rains,
the 0verseers of the various roads
are, perhaps, excusable for not hav.
ing them in better condition.
We have visited the Jail and find
the building in a good condition,
and as we'll kept as can be expected,
under the disadvantages the keeper
labors in not having means at hand
at all times, to make better arrage
ments for the comfort of its inmates.
We have noticed the various off,
ces, and as far as our judgment and
knowledge extends, the Books and
Records are in good condition; and
in this connection, We recommend
that no person or persons be allowed
TO take any of the records of any
Of the Offices out of the parish for
any purpose, unless absolutely nee
essary.
We have learned that the records
of some Of the Justices of the Peace
have been sometimes accidently or
otherwise mutilated, or destroyed,
which may work to the injury Of
persons having business in such
Courts; and we would recommend
that some plan be adopted for their
better preservation.
! In conclusion, we tender our
thanks to the Court and all its off
GERS, for their promptness in render
ing US every assistance in our Ia
bors in their power; and now ask
your Honor that we may he dis
charged.
