Circuit Court.
Several days of last week were occupied
hy the Circuit Court, now in session in
Cumberland, in the suit of FazEniiakeu
v. tiie Cumberland A Pennsylvania Itaib
road. On Monday morning the case was
given to the jury, who returned in a short
time, with a verdict favoring the plaintiff
of $3,000. This amount was divided be
tween the widow and three children, the
widow obtaining $2,000; the eldest child,
$lO5 ; the second, $550, and the third SBBS.
This is a case, as stated in tiie Xeiet, in
which the widow of Mr. Fazenbakkii, de
ceased, sued the Cumberland A Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company for SIO,OOO dama
ges for the killing of her husband by a lo
comotive boiler explosion at the Frostburg
depot, on tiie 2lilli of March, 1870, said
Wm. Fazenuaker being in the employ of
the railroad company, at the time of his
death a brakesman on the train. The ease
attracted considerable attention, and the
court room was filled with spectators du
ring: <ite whole time of the trial, which
lasted nearly three days. The following
named gentlemen composed the jury:—
Henry Bi.oouknouh, foreman, Joseph
Janookf, TjtAi.ru Thayeii, Ephraim

The Grand Jury Report.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Circuit
Court for AUegany County:
We, the Grand Inquest, beg to rcj>ort ns
the result of our investigations as follows :
We have examined witnesses represent
ing various classes and grades of offenses
against the law and tljc State, and found
presentments or dismissed them ns in our
judgement we tlx>ught proper, always
having before us tlie binding exactions of
the oath taken, and the able charge made
by the Court. Tin* violations of the li- ,
cense law relating to the sale of ardent (
spirits, first to minors, second on the sab- ,
bath day, from the evidence of an iudeti- ,
nite number of witnesses, indicate a total
disregard of all law on the subject, as well
as utter recklessness in the observance of
the claims of morals upon them in com-;
mon with all citizens.
To have found true bills for every offence
would be to furnish material sufficient to
keep the court in session for an indefinite j
period. Wc have therefore found not j
more than two true bills for the same c’ass i
of offences against the same individual. — j
The question was asked almost every wit
ness, particularly minors: Have you ever
been refused liquor ? The response was
invariably -. Never.
We recommend that great care be cxci-’
cised in granting licenses, and in no case ■
should any !>c given without meeting the !
letter and spirit of the law. Some cases \
1 ave come before us, which we feel that
fociety and morals would be well served if |
there had been sufficient evidence for the
law to take hold of, viz: the indiscriminate
me of fire-arms. We have leen unable
however to secure the requisite proof to
convict, and have been compiled to order
the discharge of some who have been con
fined in the jail by commitments of magis
trates. The great danger to life even in
the ordinary pursuits of business, and away
firm the haunts of vice, necessarily grow
ing out of this practice, we have found al
most wholly charges• kj to the traffic in ar
dent spirits. . Op. tact has impressed us,
which we worthy of notice, and
which indicates the material prosperity of
all kinds of business, viz: only one case of
theft has been brought to our notice, and
that one insignificant in point of value.
Our visit to the jail impressed us more
fully of the growing necessity for a more
commodious and convenient one. It is so
contracted, and the cells arc so small that
proi er ventilation is utterly impossible.
The unfortunate inmates must either
miT( r from inhaling a cold, damp atmos
phere, or otherwise the intolerable stench
arising from the same atmosphere being
heated and breathed over and over again.
Wc have found it lu as good a condition
as it probably can be kept under the clr-
cumstauces. The beds we deemed cramped
and insufficient. The Slier!fl“n deputy,
however, informed u (ht hinuelf nut being
prevnt) during our visit, that an order had
been given for others. Kvery attention
was afforded us to ascertain all the work
ings of the institution. We questioned all
the prisoners with regard to living. They
all answered, they had sufficient ami in
good quality.
We visited the Aims House at an early
hour in the morning. We arrived there ;
nt a few minutes alter nine o’clock, and
found it clean and comfortable. They all
had breakfasted ; the liods were all made,
and the room swept. The inmates were
moving around nt their pleasure.
If w itbin the province of the Grand In
quest they beg to suggest what in their
judgement might be profitable and aid
very much in making the Alms House self
sustaining. A number of the inmates are
quite hale and strong, capable of doing a
good share of manual labor. By establish
ing a market garden, cultivating fruits,
strawberries, grapes, Ac., with early veget
ables, all the labor being performed with
out cost, we think would lie a great source
of revenue. The lands are well adapted,
comprising both undulating and liottom,
and has the advantages of the morning
sun. We have no doubt but that arrange
ments could be made with the merchants of
the county for the consumption of all that
could be raised, commanding the highest
market rates.
We recommend the appointment of a
capable and experienced keeper, having a
j general surveillance of all matters connect
| ed with the institution, and that he lie paid
; a salary equivalent to all the services he
| can bestow, without any perquisites, and
the only limit to his term of service being
incapacity or inattention to business. We
find now the salary insufilcient to com
mand the services of a competent man,
without his taking advantage of opportu
nities offered. The present keeper, Mr.
Snyder, as a matter of economy, professed
ly, purchases sheep and cattle, slaughters
them for the use of the Alms House, reser
ving to himself the hides and tallow, com
monly known ns the fifdi part, ns his com
pensation for extra work. Whether this is
done by contract, or with the consent of
the late Board of Commissioners, we have
not been able to ascertain. Neither do we
know whether it is economizing or not.—
We further recommend that bids be invited
for furnishing all supplies. We do this
with the view to all matters which concern
the tax-pavers being made as public as pos
"lVle.
In going around the premises we are im
pressed witli the necessity of certain im
provements. The old building should lie
raised level with the one recently erected,
and if it is intended that lunatics shall he
kept there, suitable arrangements should be
made to accommodate them. J
The safety of the other inmates is Jeop
ardized from attacks made by them. One |
savagely attacked the matron a few days
I •i?' 1 -
We are aware that money is required to I
make these improvements, but our obser- I
ration has been that the people do not
complain of taxes when there is tangible i
evidence of judicious disbursements.
The number of inmates areas follows: |
Twenty-seven men, fourteen women, six
children, one boy, two colored men, three '
colored women—fifty-three in nil. There
have been ten deaths since last Court, and
six births.
We investigated matters pertaining to ;
the School Hoard in so far as we believed j
it nccessnary. Sir. SlclCav, the Examiner. ;
explained to us tlie existing contract for
furnishing books to the schools of tin
county. Sonic complaints having been ;
made of certain officers being illicitly con
nected with the publishers of said hooks,
we find nothing to justify us in so report
ing.
Mr. McKay gave the aggregate amount
of receipts ami disbursements. There
seems to lx- no law requiring a detailed or
itemized account. Therefore we could not
demand one. W- arc nware that the ab
sence of law in H e premises is no impedi
ment in the way ot" its being done.
We have examined into the accounts of
the late two Hoards of County Commis
sioners, commencing with 18-18, but have
not had time to look fully into all the ac
counts. The levy lists we have carefully
gone over; also d hurscu ents. To have
entered into detaile 1 review of all their af
fairs would have been to detain the session
of the Grand Inquest in lelinitely.
In the year 1808 the amount
of county levies was $121,989 31
Disbursemenia $110."40 .17
Discrepancy 9.048 ?4
In the year 1809 the count v is indebted
to the collector, SIOO.
In the year lfiTO wc find t deficiency of
$729.
The hooks were not ki j-t as in our judg
ment they should have la- :t.
We found accounts rein fining unsettled ;
as far back as we went.
The contingent fund lin-1 not been i set- i
tied during that whole period. The hooks i
reported to have been lost we found lii the |
Commissioners’ room. Large levies have j
been made, we deem extravagant ones, in ■
the eases of the Sheri'’' and Clerk j milieu- f
larly. The business of the office Stems to |
have been conducted loosely.
We find nothing, however, to warrant us
hi charging cither of t' • tale IV-ards putu 1
fr.iufiuh nt iv-.ti r.tinss _ •
A commission of five |H’r cent. Ins been
allowed tlie present < Collector on his own
salary, which wesleem .*wcf. It lms not
been allowed to former Collectors, ns ap
pear* from the books. We suggest to the
present Hoard of Commissioners to pro
ceed at once to have all ol 1 accounts set
tled. Also to thoroughly examine the tax
books, and ascertain if the large amounts
that have been deducted from former as
sessments, within the last year, Vie correct,
as liv this means the amount of assessable
property is much reduced, making the per
centage larger on the amount remaining.
The amount paid out tor the examina
tion of weights ami measures was received
without the labor living performed. We
recommend its re|ienl.
An item of economy was pointed out to
us by one of tile witnesses. It lias been
customary to have separate registration no
tices for each district. One heading is suf
ficient, inserting the place and time of sit
ting of the registrar for each district, sav
ing anually to the county about four hun
dred and eighty dollars.
For roads and bridges levies have been
large, hut we believe necessary if properly
disbursed. The people who are to be lien
efitted should exercise watchful care, and if
they find that Supervisors arc not doing
their dutv they should so report to the
Commissioners, that such faithless officers
may be exposed and displaced.
Respectfully submitted.

M A R R I Ell,
On the 16th instant, at St. Michael's ]
Church, by Rev. Father V. F. Schmitt,
John Don auoe, of Frostbtirg, to Miss
I Makt Coo leitaic, of Roston Mines.
i> i en,
On Tuesday, 16th inst., in this place,
Mrs. Cauolink Beam., wile of Nelson
Beall, E*q., aged 46 years, 11 mouths and 2
days.
She was a faithful member of the M.
| E. Church for near twenty-five years, during
j which site constantly exemplified the exalted
, character of iter profession. Site was well
known to those with whom she communed
. in Christian fellowship, who testify to the
. pre-eminence in her life of a meek, quiet
i and unobtrusive spirit. She_was better
j known to those who have been blessed by
j her abounding charity, and comforted by
! her ministry to the suffering. To those of
j her own household, however, endeared by
, the successive ties of wife and mother, she
j was best observed in her faithful, tender
performance of all the duties pertaining to
: her two fold domestic character, while,
above and around all, she shed the surpass
j ing lustre of a higher life, to enjoy which
! she continually beckoned them. Her gon
| lie spirit has left the realm of tears, but the
■ ineffaeeable traces of a stainless earthly
; existence consecrated to the good of her
i family, the relief of the needy, the comfort
; of the suffering and the religious develop
! meut of all, are written on imperishable
| tablets —the hearts of those she loved and
served, and those to whom she was a sin
! cere benefactor.
Tlie blessedness of such a life is tbe best
| testimony of its worth and its inevitable
| fruition in heaven. It is impossible such
shall live in vain.
She was ill but a short time. Her disease
was of an acute character, and speedily ef
fected its work of death. In other and
better words—
“A few brief days—and’then the earth
Grew white around the trav’ler’s feet;
While bright fires glowed on every hearth,
They parted never more to meet
Until they go where she luis gone,
From this dark world of death and blight,
To walk with her above the sun
That sank upon tier grave to-night.”
