We are rejoiced to see that the last Grand Jury liaj the good sensce to re commend, almost unanimously, a new jail Tor this county and avoid further disgrace in having it noticed in the State records a? the worst build ing of the kind in Pennsylvania, or perhaps in the United States. We hope now, that the County Commissioners will do thenis'-lves credit by erecting a building of the most approved modern plan, oik: that will not only be credita Die nui useful, aii't in its jiurposrs prove eeo uomieal to the count v. Unt this cannot be done by faltc economy. They should examine jails of oilier counties which have been built of late years, an 1 adopt the best plau betore com mencing the wo: ii. It will require considerable foresight to erect the right kiud of building to be occupied probably for a century to come, and the Commissioners cannot be too cautious in cs ercising their judgment in the matter. A few thousands more or less judiciously applied now may save tens of thousands hereafter. tri i- ru.owsr M't'i'F.R.-1 be anniversary supper of Northumberland Lodge, No. l'.IG, I. O. of O. F., on last New Year's evening, was one of the most pleasant features of that town dur ing the holidays. The members of the Lodge have kept up the custom of an annual supper in their lodge room for many years, when the wives lake part aud give encouragement to their husbauds to continue in the good cause iu w hich they are engaged. The occasion is one of plea sure, as there is a rc-u:iion of all the members and their families, who meet to give expressions of joy that they are permitted to encourage each other in doing gK).l an 1 benefitting their fellow men. The supjvr was grand, aud was presided over by our old esteemed friend John A. Taylor, now t he o; lest Oil Fellow in this State. After some two hundred were seated around the tables impressive prayers were oller ed up by two ministers, thanking Him, who rule the nuivere, for the bountiful jrifts, and to be again permitted to meet together in their ai:nual meeting.

The Reverend gentleman has been I lie pusior of the church for nearly three vtar. and will soon part w ith the congregation under the rule of the M.

SiNKt RV, Jan. 0, 1S7C. Honorable William M. Rockefeller, 'i'o the President J ad : of Ihe county of Northuin- umberland : Votn Honuu We, the (irand Inquest, in quiring in and for the county of Northumber land, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, respect luily report, That we have uttended to all the business sub mitted lo us, having acttd oil 44 bills, lit of which have been returned tine bills and 10 ig norant us. We have carefully examined the Court House, and tiud the roof leaks on the southwest angle, causing the plastering of the Traverse Jury room to fall down, which we recommend lie re paired. The Court ('tier and his room are both in a good state of preservation, ami it may not be generally known that the desk and eagle quill in hie room dale back to 1771!. Our friend B.-ckicy endeavored to make us Ir licve t lie ink stand was equally aged, but we have some doubt on that question. Alter visiting all the rooms up stairs we re paired to the county offices, nil of which we find in good order. Wc recoiumeud a new desk for the Treasurer's room. Also, double desk, case, for blanks, Campbell's system of indexing and repairing of gas fixtures for Prolhonotary. The privy is in the same filthy coudition Grand Juries always find it. and would rcconimsud cleaning and a liberal sprinkling of lime. Wc called on the new Sheriff, who very kind ly showed ua through the worst constructed, illy ventilated and most insecure jail in renueylva nia, if not iu the United States, and as so many repairs were necessary we concluded the best thing to do was to say nothing about the needed repairs but recommend a new jail, which we most heartily do. The (irand Jury unanimously request it copy of the Piesident Judge's charge to them, or so much us refers to the early history of the county and Centennial year, for publication. J. A.

Campbell moved that it be one dollar, lo include season ticket. Mr. Show er's motion was seconded and carried with an amendment by S Shipman that the money thus accruing be applied to paying for publication or the minutes of ihe Institute and other neces sary expenses. Ihe amendment was earned, also the original motion as amended was car ried. On motion of Mr. Fink, it was resolved: That nil pereons identifying themselves with our public school system, and with the Teach er's County Institute, and becoming honorary members of the Institute, may become active members of Ihe same by paying a registration fee of fifty cents, when they shail be allowed all the privileges of active members. That the pro ceeds thus accruing shall go to the payiugof the isecretary for services rendered, and the balance, If any, to go into the Treasnry as a public fund. That all persons identifying themselves with our public schools are oordially invited to become members according to this resolution.
