HOOK' committee's report.
we, the comdiittee appointed by the
Grand Jury of (lie last term of court
to examine the hooks of the various
county officials beg leave to make the
following report to your body:
we have examined tlie books of the
Ordinary and Clerk of Superior court,
Clerk of County Com. and City court
and find them neatly kept, but find
some irregularities in the ma'ter of
indexing in the Superior C\ >rt Cork’s
books, arising more on :i ’ f + t:oT
having proper index records,! we
would suggest that your body' have
same furnished him, both for his own
and the public’s convehi< nee. we find
the Sheriff’s books in proper shape, as
as tlie ( x-Tax Collector’s books, as ap
pears from his vouchers we find the
books of the Treasurer eoriect as they
now stand, but by comparing the re
ceipts of the ex-Tax Collector with the
amounts oti the Treasurer’s* books we
lind a di-erepancy amaunting to SSOO,
which amount does not appear c>n
tlie Treasurer’s books at present, we
attach a statement showing balance
on hand as shown by books, and also
a statement showing balance that
should appear as per the receipts held
by tlie ex-Tax Collector, which will lie
a matter for your consideration, we
also attach a statement showing the

The Tax Collector’s books have not
been examined, he having been grant
ed an extension of time by your body
that he might make settlement in full
we would suggest to your honorable
body that as a matter of convenience
for the Clerk and Ordinary, aR well as
for the protection of the public records
that tlie present incumbents or some
efficient person be employed to fully
index all tlie old public records priot
to the holding of office by the present
officials, which if done will be a great
benefit to the officers and the public,
and be a great saving in the wear and
tear of the records in handling. Res

§One of the First Symptoms of
Failing Health in a Woman is
NERVOUSNESS
Did you over think that there is always a
cause lor this malady? In women Nervous
ness is generally tiio forerunner of somo
form of female disease, such as Whites,
Painful, Profuse or Irregular Menses, etc.,
either of which will produce Nervousness
in all of its distressing intensity. Ifyou use
Gerstle’s Female Panacea
you will very soon he cured of Nervous*
ness and all other female troubles as well.
If costive, move the bowels with mild
doses of St. Joseph’s Liver Regulator.

Mute, sightless visitant,
From what uncharted world
Hast voyaged into life’s rude sea,
With guidance scant,
As if some bark mysteriously
Should hither glide, with spars aslant
And sails all furled?
In what perpetual dawn,
Child of iho spotless brow,
Hast kept thy spirit far withdrawn,
Thy birthright undefiled?
r What views to thy scaled eyes appear?
What voices mayst thou hear
Bpouk es we know not how ?
Of grief and sin hast thou,
O radiant child,
Even thou, a share? Can mortal taint
Have power on thee, unfearing
The woes our sight, our hearing,
Learn from earth’s crime and plaint?
Not a . . see
Earth, sky, insensate forms, ourselves.
Thou snout, but vision free
Thy fancy soars and delves,
Albeit no sounds to us relate
The wondrous things
Thy bravo imaginings
Within their starry night create.
Pity thy unconiined
Clear spirit, whose enfranchised eyes
Use not. their grosser sense?
Ah, no; thy bright intelligence
Hath its own parudlse,
A realm wherein to hear and see /
Things hidden from our kind.
Not thou, not thou—’tis we
Are deaf, are dumb, ure blind!
—Edmund Clarence Stedman.
