GRAND jury REpoRT.

We, tie Grand Jurors empanneIed
for said term Of said court, having fin
ished our labors, submit the following
report;
We have found two true bills for
using deadly weapons in fight
Have examined two witnesses il
connection with the homicide at Plac-
erville, and ignored further inyestiga
ton.
We have examined into the defal-
cation Of Robt. Tompkins, County
Treasurer. Are not able to establish
the date when snch defaication COM
menced, but suppose it to be prior to-
July, 1878, and that he was aided and
Allotted BY other parties.
We believe that the duties Of pub
lie officers have not been performed
with that regard to the pubic inter
est which We believe to be incumbent
on them.
The laws require the counting of
moneys by the County Commissioners
but once a year, but we believe it to
be within their line Of duties to exam
Inc the same as often as it would be
beneficial, or result to the welfare Of
public interest.
We believe the County Commits
sioners for the years 1877 and 1878
have been remiss in their duties with
in the meaning Of Section Is of an
act concerning tie bonds of county of
ficers.
In the minutes Of the proceedings
Of the Board of County Commission
ers, as kept by the Ex-0fficio County
Clerk, we find that the business of the
| October (lS18) sitting Of the Board,
was finished and adjourned on the 18th
| day of October, and that the Treasur-
er's money was not counted until on
Sunday, one day after adjournment,
and four days after the record shows
| it 10 have been counted, and we have
evidence TO believe that it was only
partially counted at that time, and
when one Of the county Commission
ers was absent
From the evidence before the Grand
Jury we have every reason to believe
that the County Auditor is censurable
for assisting to make out the reports
Of other county officers.

The Mendotas' have bought the NJ E.
church and are going to fix it for hall. The
Red Ribbonites are to have the privilege of
meeting there once in two weeks.
The r. R. Club will give dramatic and
literary entertainment as soon as it is possible
to prepare for it. Potosi has never failed in
any entertainment she undertook and the club
do not intend that this shall be an exception.
The proceeds are to go towards getting an or
gan, pictures, carpeting, &C., for the Mendoza
hall. The Club will have their regular meet
ing this week, on Thursday evening cor

Several sleigh loads went from here to
British Hollow, to hear Harry HALL at that
place.
A socabe held at the residence of Mrs.
Massey last Tuesday evening was well attended
for such stormy night. All report pleasant
time The next one will be at Mr. j. w. Sea-
tons. The sociables are of the ten cent order
and every one is invited to come.
Our village is generally very healthy, but
great many are complaining of bad colds,
and there are some eases of severe sickness at
present.
Teachers examination will be held here
Wednesday and Thursday of.this week. We
believe that our village is ahead of Hurricane
Corners or any other town in the county in
the number of school teachers it has. For
one out of every two of our young ladies are
school teachers, or if not all so now are going
to be. How competent we wont say.
Mr. Bancroft preached here March I'd
but it was not generally known and conse-
quently but few assembled to listen to his
discourse.
MIR. Chas. Hilgers and family start for
Kansas the first Of this week.
Scholars have had some difficulty the past
week in getting to school, The water from
the pump having flooded the school yard, and
the road and side walk below the school house
being covered with water. Unless something
is done to drain it off the school will have to
close, as it keeps getting worse all the time.

-Aleck Johnston, while saving wood one
day last week fell, striking his face upon a
silver, severng the Temporal artery. He was
quite weak from loss of blood before medica,
aid could be summoned.
William Brown has Te-painted the inside
of his store, and is now in the east purchasing
a fresh stock of goods. Call and see If he
can't please you with his jolly good nature and

Nat Austin and> Dan Perrin have been
now and then spending week prospecting
for lead mineral on lands owned by the latter
in Beetown. They are feeling rich over good
prospects. May their patience and hard labor
be crowned with success.

health still predominates in our vicinity. The
doctors and nndertakers have much work.
The many friends Of. Miss Emma Smith
will be pleased 10 know that she has suflici Mt
" recovered her health to proceed with her
school duties.
AS the winter months draw to a close
school Exhibitions are in order. Miss Elma
Bate closed the school in district No. last
Friday evening with a meritorious one. She
has had the hearty support of the parents in
her work, and the success which has crowned
her efforts will be a lasting milestone in
Ifes Journey But to the exhibition The
Board erected stage which the scholars made
appear home-Ike with flowers, pictures, tables,
carpet, etc. To mention separately the songs,
dialogues, reeitations, &C., would take too
much space Suffice it to say that all were
very creditably rendered for amateurs. One
feature of their success lies in the fact that
everything was thoroughly learned and re-
hearsed. No prompting, hence no blunders.
Two or three dialogues which were partially
dramatic displayed much natural talent and
the moral sentiments expressed we're good.
The veledictory by Miss Lettie Orr was the
GROWING beauty of the entertainment. The
audience was large, filed the house and many
went away unable to obtain even standing

success and OF course Elma viii teach the

AT the meeting of the Wisconsin,
State Horticultural Society held at
Madison February, Al. 1879, the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, We have reason to believe that
the people of this State are the victims of a
useless and unreasonable swindle from I'M
princpled and irresponsible tree agents,
Resolued, That nurserymen who send out
agents should in all cases expect to be strictly
and fully responsible for all their representa-
tons and fully meet all the contracts made by
such agents.
Resolved, That tree planters should, as a
means of selfprotection demand of all who
may solicit their orders for trees unq,.est;ona-
Die proof that they are the authorized agent of
some reliable nurseryman and that such nur-
seryman will hold him strictly responsible for
all the representations of such agents
Resolued. That tree planters may reasonably
look for all new things that are really valuable
in this climate, in the leading nurseries of the
country rather than in the hands of rresponsi-
BILE travelling canvassers, and that it may be
taxed as pr.ima ffacie evidence of fraud when
scarcity or extraordinary qualities Of excel
lence are claimed for them or exorbitant
prices are asked,

How the Bonds are Sold.
Financial Chronicle.


1t is we'll understood that at the
time when bank or banker makes
a purchase of any amount of the
four per-cents. no money passes.
For all the ono hundred and fifty
millions bought last month, not a
dollar has charged hands; some
bookkeeping has been done and
that lie all. The purchase is made
by crediting the government in the
bankers book with the amount of
the purchase, less the commission,
and by charge in the government
books in the same amount, the bonds
being left with the government as
security for the fulfilment Of the
contract.
