THE GRAND JURY.
1t stands Adjourned Sine Die-Ths Number
of Bills Found, Etc.

The grand jury for the October term Of
the district court, adjourned yesterday at
noon, after long and arduous session. 1t
is said that the grand jury has been one OF
the most diligent, careful, and fearles,
grand juries ever empannelled in the coun-
Nv, beirg composed of our best known and
most respected citizens. During their sit
ting they found in all three hundred and
thirty bills of Indictment. OF this num-
Der fifty-two were TOR felonies, and the bal
ance two hundred and seventy-eight in
number, were for misdemeanors This is
an unusually large number of bills to be
II d az one term of court, but is partially
unted for by the fact that there
has been no grand jury in session
since the May term OF court.
The jury made no written report to the
court. The reason given for this is that
there is no law authorizing or even suggest
Ing such thing, and besides that the work
of the grand jury should always be their
report 10 the court and country.
The Jurors expressed themselves as well
pleased with the administration of county
affairs, and speak highly of all the officers
of the county, whose official acts have come
under their observation. They speak in the
highes terms of the valuable assistance
rendered them by County Attorney
Seay and his assistant and express them
selves as well pleased with the hearty zeal
and fearlessness with which the duties of
that Office are administered by Messrs.
Seav Il Morrow. There was one thing that
this grand jury guarded against, and that
was in giving any insight to parties who
tried 10 Wreak their vengeance through

OLD IRONSIDES,
pursuing h

The frigate Constitution, "Old Ironsides s"
of 1912, has arrived at the Boston navy-yard
and has gone out of commission, having been
pronounced unseawOrthy. No provision has
been made for rebuilding her. 1t is estimated
that the cost of putting her in condition for sea
is 100000 and for putting her in condition for
service in the harbor and inland waters under
100000. All that remains of the original vessel
are the mizzen tOpsail sheet Exchange.
The foregoing reminds us of the old story of

And sisters pity cheers the captive's lot,
Truth keeps her records in the courts above
And thou art not forgot.

Our human bOsoms must be kindred vet
And eyes that blazed with battles lurd light
Soft PHYS tears may wet.
Were all like thee, kind Lady void of hates
And swayed by gentle wish and peaceful thought
No gulf would yawn between contending States,
No ruin would be wrought
With sisters voice to chide when brothers frown,
With mothers love the angry sons to still
With pious prayers to win Gods blessing down
With peace the land to fill
May all thy matron heart with JOY run DER
For children spared to bless they heightened years
Peace in thy home and plenty at thy door,
And smiles to dry all tears.
And may each cheering hope and soothing word
That thou to us sad prisoners hast given,
Recalled by Him who ali our prayers hath heard,
Bring thee reward in Heaven.

AN ENGLISH ROBBER IN ROME.

A gentleman was standing the other evening
in one of the shadOwy arcades of the Coliseum
at Rome, when he was somewhat brusquely
hustled by passing figure. With a quick in
stinct he clapped his hand to his watch-pocket.
His watch was gone He darted after the thief
who turned sharply round, at the same time
clutching watch Give me that watch!" A
dash!-the stolen property was recovered. The
startled rObber disappeared, and the gentleman
went home to boast of his adventure and his
prowess. What was his CONSERVATION, on enter
ing his bedroom, to find his own watch, which
he had forgotten to put on, staring him IN the
face from the mantelpiece. He had been the
thief and the other wretched man had stumbled
over him in the dark, and when Oyertaken and
stopped was merely clutching his own watch,
which he had not the nerve to rescue from the

and admring circle of friends as the Bandit of
