closed on Saturday after a five days
session. The, Grand Jury found only
one Indictment. that against Frank
Dempsey for grand larceny. The defen-
dant pleaded guilty and was given swo
years in the penitentiary. Before ad:
journing, the Grand Jury also handed
in the following report addressed to the
Judge:
eve, the grand jury, find the Brown
County Jail to be in good condition and
the prisoners all satisfied and treated
well. We recommend that Thomas
o. Brien, whose time expires in a short
while, be furnished coat and vest. We
also recommend that an iron door be
erected on the entrance to the jail on
the inside of the present door; we con-
slider this an absolute necessity for the
safe keeping of the prisoners. We have
also inspected the county Offices and find
them in a very poor condition for the
safety of the county records; the vaults
especially are in very bad and unsafe
condition, and we would respectfully
recommend that the county records be
removed to a safer place as soon as pos
sible, it being an imperative necessity
OF the twenty-five civil cases on the
calendar, only two were tried by jury.

The Germantown Republican thus
describes the hard lot of the country
editor; He riseth in the morning and
knoweth not what day may bring
forth. If he telleth all the news he
runneth great risk of having till ear
put on him, and if he telleth not tie
news the people say he is n. e. and
there is no Joy in it. The crafty man
cajoleth him into giving him so cent
puff for five cent cigar, and fond
mothers frown on him if he fails to
fiatter their freckle faced broods. And
all his ways are ways of woe, and his
days are full of sorrow. The life insur.
ance man setteth snares for him, and on
the whole he has deuce of time.
Supt. r. P. Porter has issued circu-
lar to the effect that no supervisor or
enumerator will be permitted to receive
additional compensation from munich
pal corporations, ETC.. directly or indi.
rectly, tor taking the census This is
eminently proper, preventing the small
Ter towns from being showed under by
more thorough and energetic work in the
large cities. AS a matter of fact the
government does not offer adequate
compensation for the enumeration, but
there should be TO favoritism permitted,
and it the superintendent would prac- !
tice little economy in his own office
at Washington there would be more
money for the country at large. Tons
OF expensive blanks have been sent out
broadcast calling for information, which
will never be furnished gratuitously, and
small army OF superfuous clerks are
employed IN overlooking the waste bas-
kets Of the nation. HAsTlNGs Ca
