REPORT
OF THE
GRAND JURY
ON THE CONDITION OF THE
AlmShouse and Jail.
NOVEMBER TERM, 1873.
NOVEMBER TERM, 1873.

To tic Hon. james ID. Waters,
associate Jad9e, 3D. JudiciH District:
HNHE Grand Jury for this term Of the Cir
L cult Court for Hartford county, respect
fully report to your Honor the result of their
labors during session of fourteen days, and
ask to be discharged.
We examined one hundred and eighty-five
witnesses, found twenty true bills and
dismissed twenty-one; the evidence in these
cases not justifying us in making present
ment.
In visiting the Almshouse, as we consider
ed it our duty to do, we found twenty.six in
mates of whom five were female whites and
fourteen male whites: also five female colored
and two male c0lored.
The farm seemed to he in good state of
cultivation, and everything in extra good or
der. We suggested that an orchard should
be planted out.
The building presented the appearance of
being well kept The departments occupied
by the inmates are very comfortable and in
clearly condition.
After selling two hundred bushels of wheat,
there seemed to be a sufficiency of wheat,
corn, &C., to last until another crop is gath
cred. We also noticed fine drove of hogs,
numbering about twenty five.
We also visited the Jail and found it con-
tanned twenty-three inmates, namely, six
colored and two white males, for larceny; six
colored and five white males for assault; two
white males for murder; one white male for
an attempt to rape, and one white male for
selling liquor on Sunday Considering the
ventilation of the building, we found the
sanitary condition very good, and much
credit is due our efficient Sheriff
Complaints have been made against the
watercloset remaining in the Court House,
and we would respectfully suggest its removal
to some suitable place outside the building.
Your Honor and the States Attorney, with
the officers of the Court, will please accept
our acknowledgements for the courtesy ex-
tended to us. Respectfully,
AMOS SPENCER,

A Telephone Catastrophe.

ments in Springwels. One is brick
yard, one foundry and machine-shop,
and one a pork packing establishment
and the brick-maker's line also extends
to his residence. AT one point between the
city and Springwells all three of these
lines are attached to the roof of the same
building, and rest on the same cleat, but
each has of course, its own insulator
During the heavy wind storm n few days
ago the wires became unfasleued from the
insulators on the particular building and
firmly crossed in such II manner as to
make them. practically, one line. On the
morning following the storm the clerk in
the office at the foundry, who is of II mis-
chievous turn of mind, heard the bell at

in II peculiar manner. 1t gave different
signal from that used by the firm with
whom he is employed. Placing his ear to
the diaphragm he heard II gruff voice say

| inI that some one unaccustOmed to the
instrument was talking from the office, he
resolved to have some fun. The reader,
remembering that all three of the lines
are crossed, will readily understand the
conversation which ensued, The brick
maker called his Springwells establish

brick to the Office"

DIAMOND CUT DIAMoND.-At n shoe
store in San Francisco, the parties con-
cerned were the proprietor of the store
and John Chinaman. Examining q
pair Of boots the price of which WAS five
dollars, John inquired: How muchee you
axee for bootee?' In spirit of waggery,
1t is presumabe, the owner replied, 1.-Two
dollars and halfee. John. Very cheap
bootee, aintee?' Cheap bootee.' said
John, who thcreupon examined pair,
and concluding to buy, offered a quarter
eagle. But said the dealer this is only
enough for one boot. They are two dol
lars and a half apiece; two boots cost five
dollars John was somewhat astonished,
SAID he would not buy and demanded the
return of his money! but the dealer was
neXorable. No, John said the latter;
You have got one boot, and have paid for
it; now give me another piece like this,
and take the other' John saw the drift
I of the game, and was at once resolved.
WE'LL said he, this buotee be mine,
may be? | paid for he? Yes,' said the
dealer. And you no give me other
bootee?' asked John. Not without the
money said the dealer. Well" said
John, do with he bootee what | lease
III cut he up And thereupon john
whipped out n knife, cut the boot o piec-
es.and threw it into the street, excl inning
us he departed, That am my 'oo.,e;
that other be your bootee; you sell him to
the next fool Chnaman what come along"
At last accounts the boot dealer was look
ing for Il man with the wood, n leg, to
whom he might sell the odd boot, AID
thus save the expense.

TIE BIG BALLOON IN PARIS.-The larg-
est balloon ever made was inflated in front
of the ruins of the Palace of Tulleries two
weeks ago. 1t is l20 feet high, and is sta
toned at distance of 1870 feet from the
ground. The enormous expense has been
borne by NJ. Gi1ard, wealthy gentleman
of a scientific turn Of min |, who intends
to keep the balloon captive, allowing it to
make occasional asCensions to given
height The Car is twenty feet in diane
ter; and the corridor in which the passen-
gers are to take their places has double
floor, and contains sixteen apartments for
the storage of all articles which are re-
quired for prolonged ascent. Not more
than fifty passengers will be taken at once,
and they will be carried up to an elevation
of 5000 feet, the balloon being attached to
II cable weighing three tons, and capable
of bearing tension of twenty-five tons,
or more than double the extreme pressure
which will be put upon it at its weakest
point. This cable has been placed in a
deep trcncl which has been dug in the
courtyard of the Tulleries, and will be
rolled around an immense windlass work

Each passenger will pay 81 for the trip

HoRRoRs OF SIBERIA.-A Russian con-
vict never knows until lie reaches Siberia
what sort of life is in store for him; lor
in pronouncing sentence of hard labor the
Judge makes no mention of mines. If the
convict has money or influential friends
he had better use the time between his
sentence and transportation in buying a
warrant which consigns him to the lighter
kinds of labor above ground; otherwise,
he will inevitably be sent under the earth,
and will never again see the sky until he
is hauled up to die in an inirmary. The
convicts are forwarded to Siberia in con-
voys. which start at the commencement
of spring, just after the SHOWS have melt
ed and left the ground dry. They per-
form the whole journey on foot, escorted
by mounted Cossacks, who are armed
with pistols, lanccs and long whips; and
behind jolls along long string of tum
Drills, to carry those who fall i'll or lame
on the way. The start is always made in
the night and care is taken that the con
voys shall pass through the towns on their
road after dark. Each man is dressed in
u gray kaftan, having a brass number
plate fastened to the breast. knee-b boots.
and a sheep,skin bonnet He carries rug
strapped to his back, n me, sin, and IA
wooden spoon at his girdle. The women
have black cloaks, with hoods, and march
in gangs by themselves, with an escort OF
soldiers, like the men, and two or three
female warders who travel in carts. In
leaving large cities like St. Petersburg, al
the prisoners were chained with their hands
behind their backs, but their fetters are
removed outside the city, except in the
case of men who have been marked dan
gerous. These have to wear leg-chains

men to inspect them. The Cossacks crack
their whips loudly to warn persons off, ant
scamper up and down the line with Ian
terms tied to their lance points, which they
lower to the ground ut every moment tc
see if letters have been dropped. Murder
ers, thieves, nihilists. consprators, felor
clergymen, mutinous soldiers and patriotic
Poles, all tramp together as fast as they
can go, and perfectly silent. Then com,
