Parrott bad kindly consented to act and bad been appointed Stenographer pro tem. j Judge Gary did not charge the Grand Jory at hngtb, but what he said was to the paint and of the utmost importance. He emphasized the fact that the courts depend upon th9 grand and petit juries for their effi? ciency, and when the courts fail to enforce tbe laws and deal ont exact justice tbat not the courts or the laws are at fault, but the juries and public eectimect. In emphasizing this point he referred to a circum? stance in an adjoining county where justice bad been deafeated by public sentiment that demanded tbat a crimi? nal should be taken from the officers of the law and punished by the cit zens themselves, aod that to prevent this it had been necessary to send the person accused of crime to the penitentiary for safe keeping and keep him there. The following business of the Court bas been disposed of so far: True bill returned in case of The State ve Henry Longstreet indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill and for carrying concealed weapons.

The body of a i?egro boy apparently about 12 years old was found on the track of the Central railroad near the yard o? the Lukens Lumber Mill about 3 30 Monday afrercoon. The local freight c-me ia ibout 20 or 30 minutes before, and it s sut-posed be WHS ruo over bv if, but no one has t-een found who knows anything about how he was killed. One leg and one arm were cut c ff, the other leg broken and arm dislocated. The trains come io slowly at that point, and tbe boys who are generally lo?fiog thereabouts bave been in the habit of climb? ing os tbe trains and riding up to the depot, and the prooabillty is that he met bis death in that way. Who the boy is bad not beeo found out when the above information was obtsioed, but be is no doubt one of tbe maoy of that age and size to be found about tbe railroad and depot at all boors of the day and much of the night, with very little to do. Coroner Moses held ao icqueett Monday afternoon over the remains of the negro boy found dead on the A. C. L track near the depot. The Dame of the boy could not be ascertained and none ef tbe circumstances of the killing are koown. The verdict of the jury was that the unknown negro boy was killed by being run over by the ?. C. L. freight train and that no blame attaches to tbe railroad company. Treasurer Scarborough bas bis books io readiness to begin the collection of taxes on Oct. 15th.
