 To the Hon. L.@A. Byrne, Judg ot the Ninth Judicial Circuit Your Grand Jury at the presen term of this court, would most re spectfully report:
 That we have fully looked into tho violations of the criminal law so far as the same were made ksaown to us, or of which we coul( get information, and have beer compelled to find numerous true bills. Ws believe, however that largo crimes are fewer than here tofOre, and that much could be ldone toward the suppression o sRllller crimes by the strict on. forcement of the law by inferior of ficers.
 We have not returned any bills agfast road overseers, but we can not commend them. We be lievs that they should and could do much better work ah over the county, and trust that they will accept a word of warning, instead of waiting to be indicted.
 The transcripts of the Jestices of the Peace are in good form, and they show a conmendahle aishosi ton to do their duty.
 To his Honor, tho County Judge, we respectfully mako the follow ing recommendations: The bridge across Clancy via Prairie D0Anne road is greatly in need of repairs.
 TheCourt house is greatly in need of privy accommodations, and we trust the County Judge will pro- vide < good, large and convenient outhouse for that purpose. We trust inst he vii mnediately, as may be proper and consistent with individual rights, act in the. mat ter of the road scros. the Prairie near Prescott, known as the PreS- colt and Orborn ferry road. And we luther recommend that when ever the County Court makes any further expenditure for repairs, in the levee across CarHuso Creek, that an appropriation be.,mad c once for all, to raise said levee four feet or as much as may be necessary to mako tho same above high water mark.
 We examined the Clerks cftce and find it neatly kept. The Treas urer's office is we'll kept but there is need of having the rust secured of the vault doors, and that the old safe be sold. The Sheriff's of flee is also in good condition. There appears to be no Surveyor in the county on account of the surveyor elected having failed to qualify ant as much disturbance and confu. sion IS likely to result fro m private surveys, that the Clerk should in mediately take legal steps to have said office filled.
 The New Court house leakss or at least rain beats in, which sould be..sttended to at once.
 We recommend the purchase O county farm and ths erection O suitable buildings thereon for the care of paupsrs, knowing thai it will be to the best Interests O the county, and we trust the nex county court will take steps to provide the same as soon as pose i ble.
 The jail house is in good condi ton and appears to Do saf e for thu custody of prisoners.
 We thank the co urt and all tn, officers for their kindness anG courtesy shown us. We are unde. especial obligations to the sheriff Oscar Phillips, Esq, and his depu ties, for the prOmptness with which they have served our sub pnnas, which has greatly facilita- ted our work.
 And now, having fully discharg ed our duty, to the best of Oul ability, one case only being refor ed to the next Grand Jury, ii which witnesses being out of tho county, could not be, obtained, vt now respectfully ASK to be dis charged. GEO CHRISTOPHER, Foreman. The annual school meeting o1
