subject to similar catching business will re-

states that in Switzerland, school houses

America they are often dumped in spots

insists, should Invariably be built in parks.

IFE SPECK.-It is again necessary to refer to
the proceedings which have taken place In the
County Court relating to the jail and its keep
ers.
The report of the examining committee pro-
nounced the premises in bad order. The court
thereupon made O rule against the Sheriff who
under the law is jsiior. to show the court why
he should not be fined. &c. The Sheriff, as is
usual. employed keeper, taking from him
bond for the correct discharge OF the duties OF
1ailor' In this case the jailor SO taking charge
was Logan Turner. He says that during his
long sickness and confinement to his room the
premises became out Of order. The Sheriff, as
soon as he could do SO. properly relieved Mr..
Turner. and has placed the jail in the hands OF
another jailor. Milton Butcher. and the rule
has been dismissed.
Sheriff Speck, as is known to the entire
county, is careful. methodical officer, and
should not suffer In public estimation as is
evidenced by the fact that the rule has bee n
dismissed and the long and painful affection
of Mr.. Turner should, to a proper extent, re-
leive him of the change of w1lful neglect Of his
