New County Jail.
Muricy Valley I Pa., June 17, '9O.
ED. REPURLICAN :
I see that your readers with you,
are recommending our county com
mssioners to build a new jail. I
join with them. I think it is a
shame to the tax payers of the coun

ing rewards for the recapture of
prisoners who crawl out through
the county jail or in paying men to
stand guard when there are any
prisoners. It seems it is a laughing
stock for all the adjoining counties-
Keep the ball rolling, and may you]
succeed in convincing our county
! commissioners of the great need of
[a new jail. FARMER.

we are offering. Never in
