THE quickest and easiest way of clean
ing brass tenders is with oxalic acid; it
will make them beautifully bright, but
rather dangerous to use, and requires using
frequently, as the brass furnishes very
soon. The old plan Of mixing Bath brick
or rotten stone with oil, laying it on the
brass and then polishing it with leather or
chammois is as good as any.

THE GRAND JURY
After rh,.,,. and Receiver. of stolen Goods.

After Thieves and Receivers OF stolen Goods.
The Hastings Court Of this city resumed
it, session yesterday morning at IL
o'clock-Judge Atkins presiding. There
was an unusually large crowd in attend
anse, and the grand Jury had It's hands
full, one hundred and sixty-odd indict-
ments being sent In. OF these one hun
dred and sixteen were returned as true
bills, all OF them but four being INSIDE
mennor cases. The felony cases were
against Emma Green, J. j. Kelly, J. j.
MeQuade. and George Toler.
The following is a copy Of paper pre-
sented by the grand jury. The Court con-
sidered the same, and II was fled in the
clerks Office:
To The Honorable Judge Of the Hastings
Court Of Richmond:
The grand jury OF the September term
Of your court desire to express TO you their
opinion OF fruitful cause OF eyil-doing in
our city, and one that we desire to see sup
pressed, and ask from you the necessary
Instructions to bring such offenders before
your court. The offence we refer TO is the
rcceiUing Of stolen property.
One case came before your grand jury
of a boy twelve Years OF age stealing
SUIT 81 clothes valNed at $50. and selling
The same for 81 also, where an honest.
working mechanic had his tools stolen, and
the same were found in so-called junk
stone, ard when the mechanic claimed
them the person who had bought them ex-
pressed 4 willingness TO surrender any
article claimed.
so long rs such houses arc permitted TO
be kept open, aud thus aid thieves in get
ting nd OF stolen property, we must ex-
pect petit thievery; but II the strong hand
OF the law could be laid on them we are OF
opinion that this class OF evil-doers would
in measure be stopped; and We do most
earnestly ask your Honor to give lis the
necessary power and instructions, so that
we may bring such evil-dOers before the
bar OF justice. Another great evil we
would also bringto your IIonor's attention.
and that is the confning OF small
boys in the city jail, where they
are daily and hourly in company
with old and expert thieves and evil-docrs.
| who teach them the ways and workings OF
| The profession. and turn them out OF Jail
worse than when committed. We know
the construction OF the jail. and see no way
Of correcting this great growing curse than
by having another place OF confinement for
| boys and girls OF tender years.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.
For the grand jury,
THOMAS PORTS, Foreman.
The grand jury was discharged for this
! term.
! The court meets to-day at IL A. Nj.
