was - ccw or no cow." and whew tbe cow
carried tie day. Las there been as much ex

Shortly af-er 6 o"doca it was d!scoTere.l
that a number of ;lrf-gal Totes were being
cast, and when objection was made to the
election board that the rcu? of citlrecs who
Lad no: tuid a borocjb tax within on year
were beicg received, tbe r,aetian of their
Segalliy wsa referred to attorneys. The ar
garaest was paticijMI in by a large num

were taken. At tbe expiration of that
period a majority of tbe election board de
rided that tbey woo'.d go irect to tae Con

laws reg-j'iating general elections. Tbej

bonnre was kindled in the pablic square
and the good-natured crowd rushed from

expense of piping it into town was Lot be

We, the members of tbe Grand Jury, re
port that in pursuance of tbe instructions of
yoor Honorable Coart, we vailed, on the
l''h day of December, 11, and examined
the jail and coart bouse. Tbe dry dcoet
connected with the jail does not give satis
faction. We recommend that tbe Commis
saocers be asked to compel the Pauley Jail
Company to make tbe neater and dry closet
satisfactory.
The jail is neat and deanly kept. We rec
ommend that the broken place ia the court
room ceiling be reiaired ; also, the roof
ai.v it ; also, that the flooring of the bel
frey be re-tinned ; alj, the floor of tlie Reg
ister aad Recorder's oi be covered with

On the !7U of Iecember, Irrl, we visited
and examined the buildings at the alms
bouse. We compliment the Stewart aad Ma
tron of that place oa the neatness and good
order of the houses, as the iamatra seem to
be comfortable and well kept.
Tbe building just erected is a model of
workmanship and comfort.
We recommend that the stovepipes in the

Some flan ;iarg attorneys are dcuseing
the attempt of tbe last legislature to amend
the n-lail li taor lieeoe luwj, a(proved May
I'S, lvT, so as to permit app.KUftiu for li
censes to take their bondsmen from any part
of the county and not be limited, as before,
to the ward or town hip ia which the appli
cants intend to do busin-ss. Tbe bill as ap
proved by the governor reads: "The ninth
clause of the rlfth section of tbe act May u'l."
TheactofMuy it is tbe wbolesal license
act, and has but three sections. The act
relative to retail licenses is the act of May
