TO the Honorable ". i. GaLbraith,
Judge: We, the grand jury, %impanelled at
this term OF court, have examined all the

disposed OF them as we thought right.
We have examined the county records.
We find them apparently properly kept and
find that the officers are faithfully doing
theirduties. We cannOt report as to the &C.
counts OF the County Treasurer, as the com-
mittee OF experts on the books have not
made their final statement.
We have visited the county hospital
where our INDECENT poor are kept, and we
take pleasure in commenting our county
management in giving the contract for
keeping these ~unfortunates to the Christian
care OF the good women who administer to
the wants OF the poor.
We have also visited the county Jail
which we found to be kept as clean as the
officers in charge can possibly under the
circumstances, n we recommend that as
the present hoor is badly worn a new foor
OF asphaltum be put in as soon as possible;
and, also, that some arrangement be made
for the better care and protection OF female
prisoners; that the bathroom be moved
down stairs, and that the room on the
west side OF the Jail vestlbule be prepared
for the custody Of female prisoners.
We acknowledge our regards to the Of
licers who nave attended us; and now, hav-
ing performed our duties, and know OF no
other business, we ask to be discharged.

Monday evening following the close OF

Miss Barnet has been a teacher in our
schools for the past five years, and as
she has given up teaching for the pres
ent, with the view of entering college
this fall, and becoming a pupil herself,
such remembrance from scholars must
certainly be very pleasant to her, and
will aus her to feel that both she and
ner work were appreciated by them
The children had prepared a table boun-
tifully filled with refreshments and eata-
bles in variety, after partaking of which
they separated for the evening, all feel.
ing thew had had a pleasant time. W.
wish Miss Barnet many more such han
py remembrances in years to come
should she again become a teacher in
our Public Schools. ~
