A Pleasant Entertainment

On Saturday afternoon last the grand iury

the USUAL Inspection. After looking through
the buildings and grounds, our worthy
sheriff, Geo. II. Logan, invited them TO his
residence adjoining where WAS found spread
most elaborate and bountifully supplied
table Every thing in the line of cake
1rnlt' Ice cream, temperance beverages, &c,
was set out and heartily enjoyed by the
members of the jury. After spending an
hour at the table, and when about to retire.
the foreman of the jury, II. H. Brady, ESQ,
moved vote of thanks to the sheriff for
the entertainment, which was passed by a
unanimous voice. This was undoubtedly
one of the best arranged and enjoyable i'm
proInptu entertainments ever given at our
Jail. The sheriff had but an hours notice
of the intention Of the jury to visit him, an
extremely short time in which to get up
such a treat. The Jail was found in good
order and all the prisoners loud in their
praise of their treatment.

The Way The Bosses Spend the People S
Money.

The State has an interest of twenty
five millions of dollars in the Chesapeake
n Ohio canal. If 1t were properly. hon-
estly and intelligently managed, it would
pay pay the bondholders and produce
revenue to the State. This would lessen
taxes. 1T might be made to do great
deli to support and extend the public
schools. But it is managed by German
Heating and Compton to secure offices
for themselves. And the people money
which ought to go into the Treasury to
lessen taxation. has been squandered in
extravagant and corrupt expenditures
When the Canal Was under the honest
and efficient management OF JAMES {.

hibiting them from receiving salaries and
without Il pretenSe of law. right or JUS

President German and his directors cX-
, pended the large sum OF sl2.3Ss.1' for
their hotel bills. These hotel bills were
produced in the the Canal SUIT. They
are marvellous i'll their Extravaganza.
For INSTANCE on December s. 1874 they
paid Barnum Hotel &ll9.1O for one
