The Grand Jury for the Ist week beg leave most respectfully to report —That it is with gratitude to the Giver of all good we acknowl edge His hand, in the dispensation of health and bountiful crops, in all our borders, and while we review the past, and hope in the fu ture, the prospect before us is truly pleasing. In the performance however, of a duty de volving upon us as Jurors, we beg leave par ticularly to present the following result of our labors, yiz.: We have examined the* office of Clerk of the Inferior Court &c., and report that we find an excellent set of substantial leather bound books, furnished by that officer —we also find them kept correctly and in fine style; we find also that the Clerk has done much extra service, which has formerly been omitted to some extent, and therefore recommend the In ferior Court to pass an order allowing said Clerk a fair compensation for said service; we find the office furnished with a county seal, made by C. Tompkins, in good style. We find on the Estray Book no returns to the Clerk from the following Justices, of the amounts attached to their names, viz.: John B lay lack, $l7O 00 W. Clardv, 16 00 J. H. Murdock, 10 50 Ransom Foster, 5 00 A. D. Chandler, 8 25 David Morrow, 1 75 W. L. Crow, 100 00 W. Latimer, 75 00 11. H. Pitman, 45 00 J. B. McDaniel, 35 00 John C. Dorrel, 20 00 Jouathau McDow, 60 00 A. Turner, 6 00 A. MeEver, 18 00 Riley Goss, 52 75 N.A. Jackson, 90 00 Daniel Whitner, 8 50 James Russell, 1 00 T. It. Couch, 6 50 Making in all n sum of s7oB 75 The Jury are of opinion that said sums of money are due the county, and of right ought to be paid. We hare examined also the office and books of the clerk of the Superior Court; we find the office in good keeping, and it is with pleasure that wc testify to the neatness and care of that officer in the faithful discharge of his duties. We have examined also the office and books of the Ordinary, and we hereby report to this body that we found them kept in a neat, order ly and correct manner. We have examined also the Jail arid find it in good repair and well kept. We have examined also the Treasury, and find it as usual, empty, and in debt. We can testify, however, with pleasure to the faithfu discharge of the duties of that oflice by our present Treasurer, and the books show that he has advanced funds from bis own private purse to defray public expenses. The Grand Jury of the present week would also most respectfully represent, it as their opin ion, that something like a saddle-bags grocery has been kept by the Superior Court of this week, in the august personage of one of the constables, without license : wherefore we can not safely conclude that the Temperance cause is highly esteemed, by that arm of the law, and while we exhoncrate the Court from a knowl edge even of this newly established feature in the traffic, still we must set our faces against all saddle-bag groceries, and more especially wlien kept by a constable in attendance upon the Court. This particular constable we have concluded thus to cannonize, and hand his deeds of consummate effrontery and shame, down to future constables, as a well-marked instance of wilful contempt for Court. We did not see the liquor, but we did see the saddle-bags—and it is the deliberate opinion of this Jury that no other Jury ever saw a pair of saddle-bags as much like a jug of brandy before—for they smelt like the jug had been broken.. Now a constable is quite a small appendage to the Court any how, and when he grows so beautifully less, as to become part and parcel of a pair of saddle bags, that smells just like a broken jug of brandy, he attains to a station so small iu our •yes that we think he’s of no use at all. It is with unfeigned regret that tlie Grand Jury of the present term are obliged to repre sent the county as still insolvent, and we can not see a remedy for this toul spot upon our history. To tax the people would be an un righteous burden ; to leave it all to time would be unwise—for our children would rise up to wonder and blush at the deeds of their fathers, and while we therefore are well assured that something ought to be done, we know not what to do. But the evil day must. come. The peo ple must submit to onerous taxes, for the relief l of their county, or they must and ought now, to repudiate every claim that does not dart sun beam light iu the blind eyes of Justice. It is true beyond all doubt, the county has been wronged—both in purse and policy, and while we would invite all to propose a remedy, we claim our privilege and bring in our suggestion. When a citizen becomes insolvent, our laws sell him out, and set him up anew—and this is the best remedy we know for a county—let us sell out and take a fresh start: the old books and old records never can be purged and the best that can be done, is to secure what is right in them and repudiate what is wrong. Sell all we have—pay our debts, and- walk more cir cumspectly fin- the future. The good name of a county ought to be worth something, and of more value than all her wealth besides. By remaining as we are, we never can get that good name; therefore let us strike (or a good name — the suggestion is given —we invite a remedy. In taking leave of his honor, Judge Trinpe, we would testify to his diligent and faithful ad ministration of the law; and return our thanks to Col. J. J. Word, Solicitor General, for his prompt und kind attention to this body. JOSEPH BOGLE, Foreman. Richard A. Milner, Daniel R. Tuomas, Lemuel Dillard, William T. Burge, Elijah Lumpkin, W. J. Benham, T.

Cljotct ” Bin ” Have you seen our darling Lilia, With her sweet and winning way? Do you know, the little Fairy Is just onq year old to-day. Soft dark eyes, with love light beaming, Knowing naught of grief or care; Rose bud lips with pearly petals— Such is little Lilia dear. If you’ve seen I know you love her, With her baby face so bright— Mamina thinks her smile the sweetest, And we think Mamma is right. Yet the little witch is cunning, In her mirth-prokoking way, Though so young—for pray remember, She’s but one year old to-day. With her heart so pure and sinless, Still untouched by grief or care— Let us hope that ne’er a shadow May becloud her brow so fair; For she is the sweetest, dearest Little witch, from far or near, And we pray that Heaven may bless her— Bright eyed darling, Lilia dear.

That Time's corroding fingers, Dare not touch or chill. It is the Poet’s dreaming, Ilis belle ideal warm, When thoughts like stars are gleaming, To weave his kindling charm , It is the crown that clusters On lovely woman's head ; It is a name whose lustres No other one can shed.

Song has embalmed in story Her brightest of that name, And history in glory Has proudly writ the same, Like talisman it thrills us With deeply hidden power, Like Nature's charms, it fills us. And sanctifies the hou^,! There are visions of our childhood That bring us back young joy, Won by the mead and wildwood. Won by the happy boy ; But linked with each sweet vision Some Mary lives again, Fair as a form elysian, Dear as a Seraph's strain 1 I had a Mary—listen, A rosebud in its bloom, For me her eye would glisten— And chase away all gloom ; For me her songs were pouring FVorn morn to stai ry night, A sailent fountain soaring Os unalloyed delight. She was my richest treasure, My hope for future days; My never failing pleasure, In myriad winning ways; I feel her arms around me, Her kisses on my cheek— A moment, they have crowned m* Ere Memory could speak.

The Dutch and Irish lived in peace, Yon silvery stream hard by ; The Hindoos burnt their dwellings down, And they were forced to fly ; So with their wives and children fled. Nor had they where to rest their heads. With fire and guns the city round Was wasted far and wide ; And many an Irish mother then, And new-born baby died ; But things like that you know must be At a Know Nothing vjetory ! They say it was a shocking sight, After the day was won— For twenty bloody corpses there Lay rotting in the sun ; But things like that, you know must be, After a Know Nothing victory !’ Great glory Geo. D. Prentice won, And also Captain Stone .Why, ’twas a very wicked thing,’ Quoth Samuel’s little son. Nay, nay, my little boy ’ said he.

There is a fortress fair rs art, And cold as Russia's clime of winter, Walled round within a maiden s benrt. My love has sought in vain to enter. Long I've besieged her castles fair. | With all Love's forces sweet niid tender, But still she reigns unconquered there. And still refuses to surrender. 0, for some friendly power in arms— Some Austria of contending nations— To soften her resisting charms, And bring her to negotiations. For, by consent of heathen Jove, The siege shall never be forsaken, Till conquest crowns the arms of Love, And my Sevastopol be taken. 51 Cnpitnl ftnrtj. Jl)6 Cora B. was something of a flirt—there is no denying it though I do not like to admit anything to her disadvantage, for she was a great favorite of mine. She was a pretty little brown thing, with cheeks that the rich blood mantled freely through as it came from a warm and gene rous heart Cherry-ripe often parted to reveal two rows of pearly teeth, as the merry laughter burst gushingly out--figure rather petite but full and graceful—a foot and hand of fairy-like symmetry, and hair dark, and glossy as satin—such were some of her outward attractions. Add a pretty, gay.coquetish manner, ami a temper unspoi lably sweet, and you will have some idea of Cora B. Cora was only eighteen, but her lovers were already so numerous, that, had she cared to keep count of them, she must have had a notched stick like Robinson, Crusoe, for surely her giddy little head could nev er have remembered them all without that or similar aid. Everybody petted, admired and fluttered her; and to make love to one so loveable seemed as easy and nalnral as to inhale the fragrance es a flower. Among the newest, and consequently the most favored of her admirers, was Horace Henderson, of P , who had recently corue to Spriugfield, Cora's native place. Besides being the novelty of the season, lie was a decidedly clevi-r mid agreeabl fellow —handsome and talented ; therefore Cora, without wishing to make a serious conquest, would hase been mortified at her lack of skill if she had not succeeded in adding so distinguished an attache to her train. It cost her an effort greater than usual to do so, however—aud even when .she had so far conquered as to find him her obedient servant to command, she saw that his assid uities were less the result of love than gal luntry and admiration. She was quite content, however, and the intimacy between them daily increased Cora flirted with no one so much. Horace carried her boquots more than she did her self—she hardly ever allowed any 0110 else to fan her after dancing, and when he ask ed her for a ride with him she consented — marks all of high favor. A beautiful, cool summer afternoon was selected for the first ride ; and Cora moun ted on a gentle but spirited animal, exhilar ated by the exercise, and excited by the , nonsense her companion was talking to her, had never been iu better spirits, or louked more lovely. Their way led them along by the roman tio banks of tho Connecticut, in the direction of Ann's famous establishment—then, nnd 1 suppose now, a favorite ride with the peo ple of Springfield, on aocount of the smooth ness of tho road and the beauty es the scene ry- The country wns lookiug enchantingly- The river gleaming blue nnd sparkling on their right, and on the left a full nnd com plete orchestra of roadside choristers chaun. ted bewitchingly behind their vernal screen. Cora’s heart as well as her ears was filled with music, and hor bright cheeks glowed, and hor black eyes sparkled with pleasure. The sun was still high when they turned homeward, and after a lively canter they slackened their pace to enjoy the quiet love- NO. 35. I liness of nature. Coming to an alluring lit [ tie side road, which led into a wood, they j were tempted by curiosity and the earlinesa of the hour to leave the main road to explore jit j It was an enchanting little fairy cause.- ! way, carpeted with turf, and canopied with j green ; Cora was wild with delight. Horace seemed less pleased, or more occupied with other thoughts, for he was unusually silent Cora, observing his absent mood, laugh ingly inquired the reason. Horace rallied himself, and replied with gaity, a little forced. 4 Ah, Miss Cora, has not a man in love the sanction of Shakespeare and all the poets to be merry or sad, absent or whimsical, at his own capricious will ? I claim immunity under the laws enacted by the poets in favor of distressed lovers—for you know, Miss Co ra, you see before you a man very much in | love ” j *lt is coming,’ said Cora to* hereself. — i • Well, I ni sorry—perhaps I can laugh it i offand she answered aloud 4 Indeed ! j let me take a good look then, for I should j like to see the symptoms of a state come to j tc regarded now a-days as problematical.’ I . Pray, be serious, dear Cora, for my sake,’ ! replied Horace, in an earnest voice. • I can j not jest on this subject—it is one so deeply ■ involving my hapyness. We have not known each other long, Cora, but I am not one of those who believe that the growth of friend ship must always be counted by days and weeks. I think I have known you as well as if I had been acquainted with you all my life and ‘ am sure you will not think I claim too much in asking you to listen tome Tbe | love 1 feel i$ so deep and earnest that it de ; mands and must havo expression. May -I speak freely, Cora ?’ • Oh, no. no !’ cried Cora, in a tone of dis tress—for though something of a flirt, as I have admitted, she was incapable of a co quettish pleasure in witnessing her victim’s pain, or keeping him in su.-pense. 4Do not tell me any more—l am very, very sorry if I have done wrong, but I do not, and can not return your affection ’ Mr. Henderson looked up in astonislimeast; he appeared for a moment not to understand her, and then for a few minutes to feel some embarrassment, but be said at last with a half smile:— 4 You have made a verry natural mistake, Miss Cora, a&d one it would, perhaps, be more politic, or at least polite, to leave uncorrect ed, but my policy is always been a straight forward one, and I will confess it was not to yourself I had allusion just now, but Miss 0, of Boston. The kind friendship you have shown me induced me to hope you would al low me the luxury of talking to you of what constantly occupies my thoughts. I trust you wili permit me to do so, still, will you not ?’ Cora's face was scarlet— she had made the awkwardest of femenine mistakes. She dropped her horse's reins and hid her face in her hands, overwhelmed with confusion and unable to utter a word. Ilornco caught the bridle and led the ; horse fur her, while he strove by saying the k ndest things in the world, by treating the whole thing as a trifling jest, and by skillful ly presenting to Cora the only consoling fea ture in the case—that her reply had been a refusal; to banish her annoyance and mortification. After a time she was iuducod to join rath er shyly in his laugh, and then followed his promised confessiou. It- consisted simply of a lover's raptures over a fair divinity, whom notwithstanding liis secret adoration, his poverty forbade him to address. Cora proved a very sympathizing and in terested listener; and though she had no ad vice to offer, Mr Henderson was charmed with the absorbed attention sbe gave to his story, and they parted better friends than ever, notwithstanding the blunder she had made. A few days af.er this conversation an opening presented itself to young Henderson in another city, and lie left Springfield to avail himself of it He wns absent for two years, and having succeeded beyond his ut most hopes in his business, he treated him self, one summer, to the pleasure of return ing to Springfield to spend his vacation. Asa matter of course, he renewed bis ac quaintance with Cora. He found her still unmarried and unengaged—but quite as pretty, aud, as he thought, far more fascina ting than ever before. The fact is that having been entirely cured of the youthful fancy he had entertained for I Miss 0. by the unexpected marringo of that lady before his circumstances had so far improved as to justify him in declaring his attachment, he met Cora with a heart free, instead of fottored, and he could not but see how very attraotivo and lovably sweet she was. * His attentions were renewed, but in a very different spirit from that in which they had been rendered of old. Cora, however, quifo unaware of this change of oircumstanoes and feelings, re ceived them quite on tho former friendly footing. Indeed she was far more friendly und secure than then, for she fancied she knew exactly the state of Horace s affection*, and her intunaoy with him could not there fore possibly lead to misunderstandings ei ther ou his part or on hers. She felt thus quite free and easy to ride, walk, or talk with him without scruple.— Sometimes, it is true, she had a feeling that there was something in hi* manuer she did not quite understand—a aomething more of reserve, and at the same time warmth, than formerly, which puzzled her, but she deetd * ON FOURTH PA.QS j
