We, the Grand Jury, chosen and i sworn, for the first week of the present. term of the Superior Court, have the | honor to report for the information of i our fellow-citizens, that we have, as | faithfully as we could, examined into ! the following matters : COUNTY TREASURY. The Treasurer lias made the following j exhibit of the actual condition of our finances : Cash on baud at last settlement $3,817 73] do from A. Deas on Digest for 1856.. 157 3!* : do do do do 1857.. 7,200 00 : do do other sources 576 50 I $11,751 62 c*.

Clerk of the Superior and Infe- \ rior Courts.—lt was with no ordinary j pride and gratification that wc scrutini- i zed the condition of this office. Too i much praise cannot be awarded to Ben- j jamin F. Hall, the officer in change | thereof, for the neatness, accuracy, and system, observable in everything con nected with his duties to the public. Several valuable books of old reccords ! are, from long use, almost worn out.— j We, therefore, urge upon the proper * authorities the absolute necessity of < having them newly bound, with the j least possible delay. 3d. Ordinary’s Office. —We found the books and papers of this office in ad- . mirable condition. Indeed, we were so j well pleased with the general discipline j and management of this office, as well i a~ of that last, mentioned, that we can but believe, the public interest will be ! subserved awarding to Foster j Blodgct Jr., the officer in charge, the \ mead of our unqualified approbation. ! 4th. Public Education.—From an Examination of the books of the Ordi nary, who is ex officio Commissioner for j the receipt and disbursement of the 1 Poor School Fund, we find that f«;r the year 1807, there Were 1357 beneficiaries . of this fund, at an expense of $4,910 42. j There is now an unexpended balance of j 3384 33. Under an act of the last Legislature, the number of recipients of the bene- \ tits of the Poor School Fund will, prob- j ably be increased to 1,800, requiring, of course, an increased expenditure. Yet, with the balance nowin hand, together j with our quota from the State, we be lieve an assessment of 30 percent on; the county tax will be quite sufficient; to meet the public wants. Wo there \ fore recommend the Inferior Court to ; make the assessment indicated. We deposit necessary to urge our fed- > low citizens the importance of sustain- i ing the authorities in imposing a tax. which may be considered burdensome in view of the benevolent purpose to which the money so raised, is to be ap- j plied. We take pleasure in commending the j bcatness, simplicity and comprehensive ! manner in which the books of this par : ticular department are kept. The pre sent Commissioner has been, not only judicious iii. the management of the Poor School fund, but has relieved it j from passed embarrassment, and brought it to its present condition of prosperity : and usefulness. sth. Poor House.—The County Poor; mates apparently well fed and clad. It ; contains, at present, twelve subjects, vis: two males and ten females. We respectfully suggest to the Inferi- j or Court to visit this institution at oth-! er than set times, in order that its offi- j cere may not make any special prepara- j lion for periodical visits. Ota. Jail.—We find our County Jail i to be well kept and in a cleanly and | healthy condition. It contains, at pro-; aunt. 22 prisoners-ten whites and] twelve negroes, all of whom seem to be | provided with all needful comforts. The j present Jailor has introduced some! changes, in the mode of securing pris- ; oners, which we deem well calculated to j guard against escapes, and, thercfoie, j fur superior to former arrangements, j which proved to be quite inefticcnt. We were well pleased with the very | able nvnncr in which the Tailor dis charges the duties of his office. 7th. Roads and Bridges.—From per sonal observation and dilligent inquiry, |* we report oni Roads and Bridges so be | in a good condition, with the exception of a point on the Waynesboro’ Road, where'it crosses Little Spirit Creek at Mdses P. Green’s Mill, which we present j as in a very bad condition, and urge up- j on the Inferior Court the necessity of 1 repairing it forthwith. . ! Bth. Miscellaneous.— Every good cit i izen is bound, not only to yield a strict j obedience to the law, but to aid as far I as he can. in having them obeyed by ; others If such be the duty of even an j unofficial citizen, how much more is ii | the duty of those who are sworn to see ; the laws faithfully executed. We, as a Grand Jury, have endeavored not to shrink from the obligations imposed up on us. bv our oaths We have a Judge who wo know has always discharged the du«U:.-»ol iuc uoiiCii vviiu atom oup.i l tiality. We have an Attorney Geaetal who spares no efforts to Wring law in fractors to justice, yet, we are pained to pav. irom int rmation received, that anterior to the sitting of the present term of this Court, some one of it ministerial officers has been remiss in hi? j duty to liis fellow citizens, in neglect ing to execute a Bench Warrant, issued nearly two years, against an individual, known to have been in the city repeat edly, whilst the process was in the hands ot the officer, and moreover, we are ad vised, and know that said process has not been transferred to the present Sher iff. We, therefore, respectfully, but i earnestly invoke the proper tribunal to see to it, that all the mandates of the Court shall be promptly and rigidly ex ecuted. j The attention of the Inferior Court ! has been repeatedly called to the condi tion ot a number of old Records in the | office of the Ordinary. These Records are valuable and important, and. in our ( opinion, require to be copied and put into a substantial and valuable form. — • Successive Grand Juries have urged this matter upon the attention of the Infe rior Court; the last going so far as to I incorporate the law, applicable to the case, and all without avail. It is the duty of the Inferior Court to know that the public Records are properly pre | served. We now report to that tribu | rial that the interests of their fellow citizens may bo seriously prejudiced by the bad condition of the old Records in : question, and we earnestly trust that, possessing the power, it will lo«e no time in exercising it, f r remedying an evil so long existing and complained of. In , ! the progress of our labors, we have had •:an opportunity of judging of the j amount of labor performed by the Com , jmissioner of the Poor School Fund, as I well as his responsibility in receiving j o.nd disbursing said monies, and believe ; his compensation ($250) to be inade quate to his duties. We believe in the I doctrine that to obtain and secure theser , vices of efficiendfmblic servants, a fair , and just recommendation for their time • and talents should be offered them.— ': Under this vv w of the case, therefore, ; we recommend our Senator and Repre sentatives in the approaching Legisla ture, to procure the enactment of a law I increasing the compensation of the j Commissioner to an amount, which in their judgment, may seem fair and equitable. We have investigated the matter in ( • the Presentments of the last Grand Ju- Iry relating to 0 E. Cashin, former ' !Clerk, our attention having been solicit ed thereto by him. We find from evi- j jdence submitted to us that not the' slightest blame can be imputed to him ■ } respecting the case of Coursey vs. Curtis: , i the only case alluded to in those pre-' sentments, during his term of office.-- . j The remittitur having been sent to and ' | received by another party, and never j i handed him for record. I 9th. Conclusion. —And now, in ta lking leave of his Honor, Win. W. Holt, | and the Attorney-General, Wm. R. Me- j i Laws, Esq., we feel a generous pride in 1 (bearing testimony to their unfiinch- j j ing firmness in the administration of the ; laws, and their uniform politeness and I kindness to our body. We cannot avoid j congratuling of fellow-citizens through- i | out the Middle Circuit, in having offi-j jeers, so vigilant, efficient and meritori- \ | ous.

Superior Court, this day 7th of May, j (A. D. 1858. B. F. Hall, Clerk. ——— j Convesits uifid Coquetry. •• How hard it is to decide for oneself! \ jIF there’s a trial in th. world it lies in j the exercise of free will.” '■ “Wherefore, Lizzie?' asked her! | father. “ 1 if course we wish to do everything i I that pleases our fancy,’’ replied Lizzie, j ! • 1 and of c mrse we wish to oblige all our ! i friends; and so of course we propose! land promise everything, until one thing i gets in another’s way, and all are con- j I fused, everybody's disappointed, and ! ,we don’t do anything at all I’m tired ! of life. I wish I were a nun.’’ “ Lot me see,” said her father—“how j imany gentlemen have asked m. leave j j to pay their addresses to you?” “ Nine, I suppose,” said Lizzie. “ And how many have you at various i : times accepted ?” “Eighteen,” she replied, j “ 'J’hat is a fair beginning for a nun— ’ but what's the trouble now “ Why, to tell the truth, father, I | have macie seven engagements for this ! ; afternoon, and all with different indi-j vid’vds. Wliat sluill I <}<■ “ Say that, being indisposed you have i decided on remaining at home and lead- • ing the paper to me, like a dutiful child.” | Lizzie’s face brightened. “I know j a plot worth two of that,” said she;! j “we will take a walk together: tor one ! • doesn’t wish to be poring over politics ! jon such an afternoon as this. Wait till | ; evening, and then I’ll read you to sleep.” i “ Oh you must excuse me, child, I lain busy this afternoon.” “ But I can not excuse you,” said! Lizzie. “We shall both enjoy the j ! walk : and think of being preferred to all the beaux in Wilmington ! I will j wear my gray mantle and my new Paris (bonnet, and you’ll bo proud of your j | daughter. There ! I know you will go, j ; 1 see it in your face. I have rung the : I bell, and when Mary comes you must ! ; get ready, for I’m away.” ; An only child, educated by a doting j father -for her mother had died at her .birth —Lizzie Lee had known as little i trouble or restraint as could well fall to a | mortal’s lot. Accomplished and spright ly, elegant rather than beautiful, with | line hair, a pleasant voice, and unques- j ! tionable taste in dress, she took the! ! lead in the gay society of Wilmington. ! I Many lovers made the fullest possible ac- j jknowledginent of her fascinations by! Offering hands and hearts, which were j | accepted for awhile in an obliging way, | and then forgotton. Mr Lee was yet in the prime of life, i !handsome in person, courtly in man-! | tiers. Wealthy and indolent, he had j gradually abandoned his (profession, j land suffered bis fine abilities to rust 5 unused while he devoted himself to the | enjoyment of belle-letters and society, j He and Lizzie were mutually fond of inch other ; and took care as seldom as » *<*dble to cross each other’s inelina-; tions. “ Mr. Breckenbridge,” said Mary, as she brought her" master’s coat, “ the rentleman who was here last night is in die pallor waiting for Miss Lizzie.” j Didn’t you know that Miss Lizzie was out?” “No sir,” replied the servant, “I saw her in her room two minutes ago. I expect she’s going to walk with Mr. Breckenbridge—he said so.” > “ Lizzie must really mend her ways,” muttered the father. “ What can I ; say for her ? The youth is no fop. I like him, and he deserves better treat ment,” > Lizzie appeared in due time, in magnifi i cent finery, and found her father alone in the drawing-room. “Why, 1 thought Norval Breckenbridge was here ?” said ; she. “lie has been here.” replied her ■ father, “but in spite of my apologies ; went home offended, I think. It is wrong—wrong, Lizzie, to multiply en gagements as you do. This young • lieutenant ran all risk to obtain an i hour's leave of absence, that he might keep the appointment with you.” • “Oh, well, don’t scold, papa. I feel • sorry myself, but I can console him i easily enough. Do you know I mean to many Breckcnl^ge.” “ Do you love him ?” asked her fath ■ er. “Here's something new.” “ As well as I know how,” said Liz-1 r zie ; “to tell the truth, father, I seem ! i to have used up my heart by little and j i little upon all the multitude of lovers i I’ve endured ; and now that I am grow- j I ing old—twenty to morrow !—should i be glad to settle down in life, and be i somebody’s dutiful spouse. I don’t • know liow to begin, and I am as igno ■ rant as a country lass that never had an » offer in her life. I haven’t any heart, : I’m tired of flirtations. Come, father, : let us go abroad.” Six youths forgave Lizzie Lee for that i (day’s disappointment, in consideration •|of a smile ; but the seventh voided her •; with silent dignity. It was the one for • 'whose forgiveness she cared more than ■ for that of all the rest—it was Norval; Breckenbridge. Ifhc had only been angry j • [she would have felt him in her power, j and soon have wearied of him after-1 ’ ward ; but now his indifference was too ; i tantalizing, she watched jealously his! : j attention to other ladies, her pride was j piqued, she grew angry, and —in love. Yhe urged still more strongly to go |abroad, and her father’s consent once j obtained, they departed the following ' week. And too late Lizzie found that what j she was flying in search of, she had left j jat home—content, repose, which all I the world could not furnish. Restless- { ly she roved from city to city*, viewing | (scenery, pictures, architecture, and list ening to music, all in vain. Visions of j lan earnest, manly face which might be j with her now, of a serene, and happy! home which might alas ! which might have been ! would haunt her every- j where. | While in this state of mind Lizzie 1 1 met in Paris an cuthusiastic young Abbe, j |of the Romish Church. Perceiving the ! | heart-ache that caused Lizzie’s restless-! ness, the youth warily painted the peace and repose, the life of duty here I and sure reward hereafter, which his! j church had to offer all who could re- • ! nounce this world. 1 They journeyed on to Rome, and Mr. 1 Lee bore letters to several of the Abbe’s | friends; it occurred to him afterward j j that this fact might have some eonnec j :tion with succeeding events. One day, all by chance it seemed, Lizzie encoun- j jtered a beautiful young nun, a Sister of (Charity, accomplished and fascinating, : j like (yet how unlike !) herself. The at Imosphere of peacefulness and holiness! which surrounded ffister Agnes seemed, for the time, to quret Lizzie’s restless! j' heart : they met frequently; the nun j j showed great kindness in procuring for ! ! her new acquaintance all opportunities; for observing the ritual of the church. At length, Lizzie obtained admission j jinto her convent as a student of music : \ land the holy, tranquil life of the nuns, I jby its very contrast to aught she had! [ever felt or desired, so fascinated ourj jgay young belle that Mr. Lee returned | 'from a tour in Russia to find his daugh ter a member of the Romish (Lurch, | ami resolved never again to leave the j .seclusion of her nunnery. : “ ISlie will forget this new love with I | tin; rest, ' thought the indolent father, i and revelling himself in the contempla- J jtion of beauty which had failed to satis-: jfy Lizzie, he was only gbul of the new ! (diversion she had found. The Abbe,; (who had followed Mr. Lee to Rome, was ! his unfailing companion and useful i guide about the Eternal City ; and was, ' |at the same time, more weary of ling- j , Uring amid its wonders, and more at a; |loss in projecting a plan for some new tour beyond the limits of Italy. Weeks j ; multiplied to months, and months to; !years, and still the Lees lingered at! Rome. ; About this time a stranger, attracted ! by the bustle about its doors, entered! 'one of the public hospitals of Rome, in !to which they were bearing wounded [and dying men ; for there had been an : insurrection the ppwbm* \v"»L. am! imany sold.its had been killed or fear- | fully mangled. The stranger was him | self a soldier, as his interest betrayed,: |no less than the undress uniform which |he wore. Walking up and down the | wards, a pitying spectator of the tumult i and cheerlessness of the place, as this | young man took note of tiie impatient | agony of those sufferers who waited for j j their turn in the scanty supply of medi cal attendance, the still terror of those | | who already were suffering surgieakope ! rations, the groans of the neglected, j the curses of such as felt their misery; j increased by the carelcssuess of their i ; bearers, his attention was arrested by the approach of two Sisters of Charity. \ lie had striven in vain to quiet the ! impatience or the apprehensions of ; those immediately about him, fellow-1 •soldiers as they were ; but when these*! j women came, wise only in their kind ness, strengthened only by tlicir love, the stranger saw how at once the mag-; nctism of their presence subdued the sufferers, until prayers took the place! of course, and the sleep of exhaustion; fell upon faces which had so lately ; writhed with anguish. | “ Why, Agatha, how you tremble!” I said Sister Agnes, suddenly. “You must not thus be overcome by your iown feelings in the presence of suffer-/ I ing, Come, take heart! See that poor , (creature,” she said pointing to his j j parched lips, “bring him drink !” i And Agatha moved to obey, but the j. | crucifix which she had clasped to her!! i bosom dropped from her helpless hands, 1 ;and she would have fallen save for the !' stranger's help. “Am I dreaming?” lie whispered. ' ; “ Lizzie Lee !” “Hush, hush, for heaven's sake! No, it is not my name, I am Sister Agatha.” ! (Before the stranger could say more she (j j was hurried away. But Agatha*b dreams that evening i were not such as befitted one who on i tFle morrow would take her final vow to j renounce the world ; she looked at the Virgin’s picture, and only thought how !. ;human eyes had looked so earnestly in- j! to heis—she clasped the golden crucifix, and wished it were a human hand that could clasp back her own. Ihe morrow came, on which Lizzie Lee was to kneel before the altar, to have her beautiful, abundant hair cut away and her rich garments removed ; and another spirit was about to be buried from the world. And she was buried, but only from its “cares and ; vanities.” No welcoming hands of : n l m ? led Sister Agatha into the convent. Lizzie s disquietude was buried away without their assistance ; for, early the next morning, human eyes came to ’ gaze as earnestly as the pictured eyes ’ the \ irgin had once looked into hers, ■ and she found a hand which could clasp heis back .as fondly as dnee the ybuug I nun had clasped hercrucifix. ' Lizzie Lee did not become a Sister of Charity, but returned to Wilmington as Mrs. Breckenbridge. H. If.
