The presentment of the Grand Jury.

To his Honor j. B. Kershaw, presiding
Judge of the SM judicial Circuit: The
Grand Jury beg leave to make their third
and last report:
In obedience to authority granted by
the Court, Committee of our body, con-
sisting of the Foreman, F. Cinkscales. P.
B. Gentry and Robert Moorhead, since
the setting of the last Court has, with the
assistance of w. w. Humphreys, exam
ined all of the County offices, except that
of Master, which latter office said Hum.
phreys being at the time incumbent ex-
pressed an unwillingness to pass upon his
own conduct of the office, the Committee
called to their assistance James l.. Trib-
BILE, Esq, and with his aid examined the
Masters Office. Three days we're given
to the examination of these offices and the
examination was thorough, and from the
report cf said Committee we are gratified
to report chat all of the Offices are we'll
conducted and are in good condition,
showing the officers accurate and attentive
to their duties.
In the Clerks Office there is want of
space to arrange and properly place the
accumulating records of the County,
many of which are being piled up without
having pigeon holes for them, or space to
construct additional pigeon holes.
A Committee of our body visited the
Poor House and farm, which it reports in
drst-class condition, the inmates being
we'll clothed and fed and express them
selves as oontented and happy. The farm
has been we'll and skillfully cultivated,
as evidenced from the crops now being
harvested. The Committee estimate the
crop of corn grown on the farm this year
at between 800 and 1000 bushels, with an
immense crop of peas covering the fields
and not yet gathered, besides large crop
Of sweet potatoes, yielding four or five
hundred bushels The Grand Jury cam
not too highly commend the intelligent
and ssgacous management Of this model
institution.
The County Commissioners In response
to matters called to their attention by this
Grand Jury at the last term have, by their
Chairman, appeared before us and report
that they are arranging to place two steel
cages in the Jail cells, which will give am-
Pile security from escapes from Jail by
prisoners.
They further report that they have bor-
rowed SID, ,059 to meet current expenses Of
the County, Of which they have on hand
81 900. They show from statement fur
nished by the County Auditor that levy
of mills on the taxable property Of the
County will raise $18,6D3.50, which sum,
after paying the amount borrowed and
other current expenses, will leave on hand
to commence the new fiscal year the sum
of $500.
They also state that they will ask the
Legislature at its next session for author.

The New York Central Railroad has
instituted the fastest train service in the
world. The train, which will be known
as the Empire State Express, will leave
the Grand Central Station in New York
city every morning, except Sunday, at 9
O'Clock, and will reach Buffalo at $40
P. M, making theru in eight hours and
forty minutes. Stops will only be made
at Albany, Utica, Syracuse and Roches-
ter. The train is expected to make fifty
two and one-third miles an hour, and the
officials Of the road are confident that this
run can be mede daily with ease, and
that the train will be on time every trip.
On the first trip, which was made last
Monday, the speed at one point was sew
enty miles an hour, SO that the proposed
schedule time of fifty-two and one-third
miles an hour can be easily maintained.
This is faster than the Flying Scotch
man train between London and Edinburg
which averages about fifty-one and half
miles an hour.

o build q new and substantial Court

to build q new and substantial Court
House.
This determination of the County Com.
missioners is on the line of frequent
favorable recommended of the Grand
Jury, and we commend and endorse
their proposal to build new Court House.
In this connection, and that the people
may know what new Court House Will
cost each cne, we herewith submit state
ment furnished us: For Court House a
bonded debt of $40 900 at per cent, to be
retired in 20 years, would require Ell aanu. nm
allyl $4,000 for interest and $1,000 for :
sinking fund. The taxable property or
the County is $6,331, +, 167, and tax of G4. 100
of mill, or Ga cents on the 81, 900 taxable
property would raise $4.051.94, which
could be reduced to the extent of the rents
now paid for certain County offices.
A large petition setting forth the incon-
venience to the people living in Fork
Township on account Of the destruction
of the bridge at Sloan's ferry ovor the
Seneca River was submitted to US. We
recommend that the County Commission
ers take the matter into consideration
and give such relief as they can by the es-
tablishment of free ferry, or in such
other way as they may think best.
1t has been reported to the Grand Jury
that 8. W. Burgess and Jane Timms are
living in adultery. The names of the fol.
lowing persons are given as Witnesses
T. L. F. Owing, John Timms. w. G. Bur-
CESS, Fed Gambrell, Henry Timms, Tenn
pie A. Timms and E. E. Holcombe. We
recommend that the matter be referred to
a Trial Justice for investigation.
The highways are reported in good con-
dition.
In our former presentments we called
attention to the fact that the liquor sa
looms were maintaining screens in their
places of business contrary to law. We
would again call the attention of the
Court to the fact that some of these estab-
lishments have not removed their screens.
We beg leave in conclusion to express
our thanks to your Honor, the Solicitor
and the officers of Court, for courtesies
shown us. F. CLINKSCALES.
