" The grand inquest for the said county of
Huntingdon, Report, that agreeably to the di
rections and instructions of the Honorable
Court aforesaid, they proceeded . _to the Poor
House of said county, situate in Shirley town
ship in said county, and viewed and exam
ined the same with the farm attached thereto,
and that said buildings is in good order and
condition, and the 'Paupers in the same ap
peat' to be well cared for, both in bedding, clo
thing,and food, that the stewart James Mur
phy deserves the thanks of the ci,t,izens of said
countylor his humane attention to t he same—
and that we do not approve of the plan of said
building, but that said building, is made and
erected in a substantial manlier, that we en
tirely disapprove of the plan of said building,
particularly of the dining room and kitchen
as being too small and inconvenient, that
we recommend' the. following: alterations to
be made, to wit:
,that a diningroorn and a
kitchen be made in the ba:semept story of
said building, the said dining-yoorn to be fif
ty_ feet long and
• Koporiioned in width, that
said kitchen be - a proper size for convenience.
That the water in the Spring.in the:field near
to a white oak' tree (if found - practicable and
if' said . county_ has the right :thereof) be
bronght in pipes to the propecand convenient
place at said building and thus by proper fix-'
tares made to serve as a floi,ving stream.
That they have seen a petition signed by sun
dry individuals,
_to_be sent to:the Legislature
asking for a law anthorizing, the sale of a
part of said tract of land, that they recom
mend:that none of said tract; of land be sold
at this-time.
MR. EDITOR':--
In the Journal of ihe 17th inst. I,sa.w a re
port of the Grand Inquest :Of the county,
concerning thepoor-house afEiirs; had they
been 'satisfied in reporting to the county, this
communication would not haVe ',made its ap
pearance; but it seems they were unwilling
that so much wisdom should be buried among
the nr . citives of the - court, it must be published,
and in so doing they, thereby (indirectly) hit,
the . directori - acreas the knuckles, in refer-'
ence to the 'plan of the prier -house; They
'had a right to express their opinion and
publish it tow,' hut, gentlemen pardon us, if
,we differ from - you on . some thin,o:s. Well,
here
_was a grand inquests, Tom, Dick, and
:Harry, came on 'a flying visit, and, perhaps,
'three,foni tits of them were never inside of a
'poor-house, get and condemn
the plan. 'On the other hand, the directors
who have made it their besiness to *it
and get all the information as to plans, in the
'neighboring counties, and 'in-Philadelphia.—
Now which of these parties would be most
competent to judge in the matter . The plan
eras taken from the Hollidaysburg poorhouse,
with* Some:modifications, to save considerable
expense,; it being the, most recently built,—
It is admitted that the kitchen might be bet
ter in the basement; especially in summer,
which Can easily be done at a trifling expense
by taking down one or,two partitions:.4.• was
t heintention. .the directors, - if - the paupers
should increase, to build a back building for
dining room aiid kitchen larger if thought
necessary, or When we thought it expedient;
hut the present number of paupers would not
justify it, and the expense for the present, is
saved.. Then again, the Inquest have seen a
petition'asking the Legislature for authority
sell a part of-the farm of which they dis
approve; here,again the Inquest- and the-di
rectors are at points.- , Biefore the 'lnquest
- came down there appeared a-general disposi
tion to dispose of a part of the farm, but when
the Inquest was lyre, there appeared a strong
prejudice to arise against`' the - sale *among
thern u tand evenin, our own . vicinity,) : and it
was whispered about that the writer orthis
had 'sortie personal inteiest in the - sale; he
hereby disclaims any personal interest, other
than that he is a tax payer,' and-=viould rather
diminish than increase the. taxes! I believe
we are now paying interest aunnally on the
most of the purchase money of Said farm. All
_that the writer has done in the - premises, was
What he thought to be for - the County's inter
eat: Nnv J suppose' the project, of selling ,is
defeated; and we must 'o to a heavy expense
in buying horses,
_cattle; wagons, &c.; and
then set about bringing, the farm ,which has
depreciated into quality and repairsinto good

the, s county a right to know the united opin
iorilof - the Grand Inquest, respecting the con
dition Of the Poor House property What
a pity that "A. Director of the Poor" bad not
been consulted, on - the subject 1 The In
quest; without I dissenting. voice, condemn
ed the "pion" et',the building and the man
ner in Whicli the'work had been executed.--,
And this opinion will be sustained by every
disinterested common sense man who care
fully examines the building referred to, and
I care not, front whence the plan had been
procured. I wonder who induced a proposi
tion that the Grand Inquest make a present
of one thousand dollars of the tax-payers
money to the Contractor, in addition to the
price for, which he. had agreed to erect the
Poor House ? Did he, or his'friend, the con
tractor; attempt to infinence Grand Jurors to
favour such' a' proposition 7. Or 'did he, or
they 'endeavor to
,!'caucus" with one or more
having that end
,in view If the Grand Ju
ry had 'kindly considered the.proponitio” and
gave awriy a thousand collars of the peoples
money, 'to the Contractor,
~ for spoiling the
Poor -House building, I suppose no complaint
would have.beeti uttered from the lips of the
learned gentleman who hails from Shirleys
burg arid gives vent' to his disappointed feel
ings aver the cognomen of "A Director of
the Poor." ~ He also belabours the "Inquest"
because it dissented from a proposition to
sell, at'the present time, any portion of the
farm land attached to the Poor House.
,the
that "A Director of 'the Poor"
differs, in opinion, with the Grand Inquest,
I have no doubt that its decision wall be sus
tained by the unanimous voice of, the people
or the county., And from his own shewing,
I might.suppose that he had a' "personal
terest in the Sale" 'as the times are hard and
if a ;die of the Pooi House' farm was author.,
ized by la,y, a chance for speculation would
be affordedland I suspect that "A Director of
the Pew." Would einbrance the opportunity to
specUlate.
A GRAND JUROR
Shavers Creek, Feb. 5, 1855.
In an editorial correspondence of the
Chambeisburg Whig, dated Harrisburg, Jan
.
uary 19, we find the following; •
"An interesting: ceremony transpired at
Col. Coverly's Hotel on Thursday• evening
last. .Rev. Da.vid•Kirkpatrick,.of Westmore
land, Came on here to witness the inaugura
tion of 'one of his school-boys . as Governor
of Pennsylvania, and he met ter: of "his ear
ly pupils, all now occupying` prominent pc,
sitions in life. -HiS pupils refered to are Gov.
Pollock, Secretary Curtin, Senator Taggart,
Jno. M. Kirkpatirick of the House'; Hon.
Joshua W. Costly, of Danville; Jas. Pleas
ants, Esq., of Northumberland ; L. A. Mack
ey, Esq., of Lock Haven ; Dr. H. Pleasa.nts,
of Philadelphia ; Mr. M'Reynoltis, of liar,
risburg, and Col. Wells CoVerly, proprietor of
Coverly's Hotel—all of whom met their Ven
erable preceptor. at a , supper-.prepared for the
'occasion. No: wine was, there to inspire:the
eloquence of the party ; but some of the ad
dresses were of the most touching character.
The venerable preceptor, borne_ down with
the weight of; yearS allotted to mortals, ad
dressed his whilom pupils with all the sim
plicity and earnestness of a doting grandfath
er addressing children! It was perhaps the
proudest day,of - his life, and he - , - wept like a
child as he recalled the happy memories of
other days arid pointed to the now mature and
eminent minds he had shaped, in boyhood:
After the ceremonies were concluded, he
grasped each by the hand in turn, saying Vale
vale, longuin vale; and doubtless feelinc , that
he had met most, and .perhaps all, of them
the last time.
The "Sober Second Thought."
The Chambersburg Whig, in 'an article
headed "Know-NOthing -Defeati," - hold:: the
following language:
•
"It is.utterly impossible in a country pro
verbial for freedom of thought and freedom
of action and suffrage, as is ours, to giveper
manency to a political element that is to be
controlled in secret, oathbound caucuses, and
that imposes upon its members, under penal
ty of formal excommunication, the support
of its men and measures. Such a system of
political machinery may work to a charm
while there is no disappointed ambition to
appease; no personal preferences to sacrifice,
no private griefs to heal ; but let such an 'Or
ganization once becorne supreme over all par
ties, and the day' of its Power would be tho•
date of its decay." , '; •
•
The LiecLestone. Question.
Says-Gov. Pollock in his late Message:,
" Altind Providence has bestowed upon,
us, with a liberal hand, all elements of wealth
