poets to return to Condor for short

recruits have cigar boxes for knapsacks.
Their arms consist of four tin swords,
eight sticks and a wooden gun. They

Last Saturday a representative of the
CHRONICLE paid visit of inspection to
the county Jail. 1t has now three in
mates, young Hart who is charged with
larceny from dwelling, Lawsen
charged with rape and Chinaman in
dicted for an assault on the Earl of
Taffe. The Chinaman is the only one of
the three addicted to reading. He has
what might be a whole library, for
aught we know, of Chinese literature,
and he spends nearly all his time perus-
ing it. The Jail itself is a model of
cleanness. The walls of the day room
and cells are as white as snow and the
place is as free from unpleasant smells
as the parlor of any residence in the
city; for all of which, the janitor, John
Fitzgerald, has the credit, for he deserves
it.
