cd. They found bills against Casper Mohr-

report was as follows:
To the Honorable, the Circuit Court for Cecil
County:
GENTLEMEN The Grand Jury for Sep
tenber term of court report that they have
examined siXty-nine witnesses, made four
teen presentments, found twenty-three true
bills, dism Used three complaints, and com
pleted their labors. In viewing the motor
iously bad condition of the county build
ings, the utter lack of proper and necessary
accommodations for the court, bar officers,
jurymen, witnesses and litigants, and the
insecurity of the court records, we recon-
mend to the County Commissioners that the
necessary steps be taken at once to provide
for the erection of Courthouse that will
properly meet the requirements of the bust
ness of the county, furnish such convenient
ces as the comfort of the people demands
and be of such appearance and dimensions
as the wealth Of the county will Justify
We have visited by committee, the Aims
House, and are glad to report it in good con-
dition and the inmates we'll cared for. We
have visited the Jail and find it in good con-
dition, except that the ventilators are out of
repair. They do not carry off the foul air
from the cells and there are leaks about
them. The outside wood work of the Jail
needs repainting. Judging from the clean-
ly appearance of the inmates proper sup
ervision is exercised over them.
Respectfully submitted,
A. H. REYNOLDS, Foreman.

some meat from the store of James Rooney,
of North East G. c. Crothers appeared for
the State and j. E. Wilson for Davis Tried
before the Court. There being no positive
evidence against him, he was acquitted.
The Court gave him some wholesome advice,
which, if needed, will keep George out of
such scrapes hereafter.

who were convicted of larceny, were each
sentenced to eighteen months sojourn in the
The Court then adjourned
- Boots upon tops of Boots and still they
conceive have bought too many and don't
know how to manage the difficulty, except
by selling too many. Come along with your
bootless feet and with your money in your
pocket. REESE.
