REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The following is the report of the grand
Jury, made at the recent term of the Circuit
Court:
To the Hon j. H. HUDSON, Presiding
Judge: The grand jury would submit as their
report to the Honorable Court
That they have examined all the public
offices and find them in good order; the books
efficiently kept, and papers carefully filed for
reference.
The School Commissioner reports about
one hundred public schools open in the coun.
tY, attended by near the same number of both
races-white and colored-and, there seems
to he an improvement in the working Of the
system. We find in his Office need for some
books and other expenses, of small amount,
for express charges on blanks and other mat
ter for the use of the school trustees, which
we would recommend be met by the County
Commissioners.
We have examined the public buildings
and find some defect in the roofing of the
courthouse. We recommend that the Coun-
ty Commissioners be directed to have it re-
paired. We also recommend that they cause
to be erected suitable water closets, near the
COuTG-1dtu, lOi tuC uSO vi Juto'o obA "'sa~"'SS>
while in attendance upon court
We find the Jail secure and kept with fidel-
ity. as to the security and health of prisoners.
The books of trial justices were examined,
and, with two exceptions, approved-one for
not separating the charges for costs; the 9th:
er not presented, but sending excuse of i'll
health at this time
The roads and bridges of the county are
reported as in good condition, and those in
charge attending properly to their duties.
We find the poor.house and farm in good
condition, with thirty paupers, well clad and
cleanly, aud proper care manifested for their
health and comfort. The premises are in
good order; the stock in good condition, with
corn-the product of the farm-thought suf:
6cient for the use of the farm for the year.
We would commend the superintendent, Mr.
Gwinu, for his fidelity to his duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

MILK AND BREAD.

EOND memory throws the light of other days
around us. and we are carried back to our
childhood. When we did not part our hair in the
middle and had no place to put two dollar silk
handkerchief; when the birds sang nothing but
spring tunes and we knew no "winter of discon-
tent;'' when we looked around all week fora good
place to get red worms to go fishing Saturday
evening; when The cackle Of hen was sound
sweeter to us than the music Of the spheres when
we wore but one garment, lit had no pockets in
ner with tin-cup of "old Blackey's'' milk, an
iron spoon and hunk of corn dodger. Then we
"threw physic to the dogs" But we must ex-
cuse ourselves for these reflections. They were
suggested by the heading of this article. We
were going to mention that we had on hand Con-
densed Milk and the favorite Bread Preparations
and Baking Powders. -

WORDS OF TRUTH AND s0BERNEss.

TlHE issue-life or death-terribly momentous
as it is, and freighted, as 1t is, with the hopes
and fears, happiness and misery, of the individ-
ual, is often in the hands of the Physician. And
in this dire extremity, with the destiny of an i'm
mortal SOUL for the time, in his keeping his only
and the effect of medicine, and the skillful admin
istration of certain remedial agents. to counteract
certain fatal symptoms in the patient Now, the
Importance of absolutely pure and fresh Drugs,
and the great culpabilty Of the Druggist offering
for sale, or the Physician using any other on ac-
count Of their cheapness, must be apparent to the
simplest mind. Appreciating the facts that we
have written, no Drugs, unless they are perfectly
pure and fresh are offered at the York Drug Store.
