EPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
ON THE
CONDITION OF THE JAIL, &C.
EERRuARY TERM. 1881

To Hon. James D.. Waters, Judge Of the Circuit
Court Jor Hartford County.
The Grand Jury for the February term of the
Circuit Court for Hartford county respectfully in
form your Honor that they have concluded all
the business brought before them and ask to be
discharged.
In a session of six Q8) days. they have examined
thirty-six (36 witnesses, and have found seven 90
true bills, and but one of these for any serious
infraction Of the law.
We have visited the jail and found nine (9 per-
sons confined therein, who seemed to be comfort
able and rs well cared for as the condition of the
building will allow.
The Grand Jury have deemed 1t unnecessary to
visit the Almshouse ut the present time That
institution Is under the direct care and supervi
sion of the County Commissioners, and they alone
agement. We have information from the Com
missioners that the institution is In excellent con-
dition.
Although not strictly within these premises the
Grand Jury have made some inquiry in regard 10
the number and cost of keeping the pauper in
peese considerable, and the money all spent out
side of the county The Jury are of the opinion
that quite saving to the taxi payers can be effect
ed by keeping them In the county. To that end
they would recommend the erection of a suitable
building on the Almshouse property and the
vide for the wants, and If possible to effect a cure
of those that are durable. The jury have not the
necessary data to give the figures, but from the
information at hand are satisfied that the County
Commissioners will act wisely In the suggestion
now made, and will render the people q decided
service
Our thanks are due to the Court and its officers
Tor their courtesy and valuable assistance rem
dered us in the discharge of our important duties.

Hon. HENRY W. ARCHER FOR GOVERNOR
The Easton Star says:
Hon. Henry w. Archer, of Hartford coun.
ty, is looming up prominently as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Governor.
Mr.. Archer is conceded by all who know him
as eminently qualified and peculiarly fitted
for the distinguished position. Not having
been mixed up in the recent fights of the
factions in the party, if nominated and
elected, he would be entirely free to serve the
State independently of all factions; and hay
ing no friends to reward, or enemies to pun
ish, lie would doubtless make Governor
satisfactory to all interests in the party and

FRAUD OR A FAHURE.-For some time past
a man named Jesse Leathery, of York, Pa has
been buying and selling cattle and hogs in the
upper part of Hartford and the adjoining section
of York county, Pa. His transactions, which
were ct first limited in extent, have lately been
largely increased, and it appears that a number
of checks on banking house in York, which
were given by Leathery in payment of cattle
purchased from farmers, have been returned
protested. Leathery, it is said, took trip to
New York, returned to his home in York, and
after brief stay, left for parts unknown
Among those who have suffered through Lea
thery's transactions are Messrs. John W., CAL
win and Wilson Galbre cath, w. Henry Snlthson,
DIR. T. B. Hayward Elan f. Kinsey, d. Il.
Stubs and Mr.. Beaver. Leathery is said 10
have property in York, but it is in his wife's
name. 1t is believed that the loss sustained by
York and Hartford county farmers, through
Leathery's transactions, will reach $40, 900.
On Wednesday Mr. John w. Galbreath OBJ
tanned warrant from Justice r. T. Martin, of
Bel Air, for the arrest of Leathery, on the charge
of obtaining goods under false pretences. De-
tectives have been employed but Leathery has
not yet been taken. Mr.. Galbreath and his
