NEAPCO U RT4IO LT SE. --Th e Grand Jury,
on - friday morning, reported—in-favor of the
erection of a - new Court-House, not to cost
over $15,000, together with the old Court
/louse and County Building. Judge FISHER,
in his charge to the Grand Jury, referred
to the many inconveniences attending the
holang of Courts in the present ill-Construct
ed littilding, and in addition impressed upon
them the necessity of providing some more
secure place for the keeping of the county re
cords—where they would be beyond the de
structive reach of fire,—because should those
records, the wills, deeds, administration ac
counts, judgments, and so on almost without
number, be destroyed,•the loss would be irre
parable, and the consequent confusion lead to
litigation which would cost the taxpayers of
the county more than the building of a dozen
Court-Houses., This view of the case was a
strong one, and being properly dwelt upon,
no doubt had great weight with the Grand
Jury. ft is predicted that in six months
after the erectio Court-House,
be why such
the "universal
was not built years ago.
RETURNED.—The Rev. D. A. WiLsox,
formerly of this county, who has been for
some time Principal, of the Alexander High

RAILROAD ELECTION.—The annual

MAMSIOTII CATTLE.—Mr. BRAUSER,
the'manager at St. J• iseph's, near Emmitsburg,
recently, purchased a pair of magnificent cat
tle from Mr.- WILLIAM CULP, of Ilimiltonban
township, one of the most - enterprising and
successful farmers in our county. One of the
steers weighed 1454 pounds, clean meat, with
211 pounds of tallow ; and the other 1362
pounds, with 208 of tallow. We consider
such figures "hard to beat," even by the

vorable opportunity, for persons of industrious
habits and small means, to acquire a comfort
