Following Is the report of the Grand Jury ef the Ctrout Court presented totho Court on Thursday of last week, at which time they were discharged. To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Line county. We, tbe Grand Jury, empanelled and sworn for the October term 1884 of said Court, respectful I v bee leave to submit tbe following report : That we have completed the Inveet'ea Uon of all matters submitted to as : That we have examined Into the rec ords ef the County Clerk's office, and find them In good order and neatly kept. Wt would suggest that indices be prepared for the execution and attachment lien dockets, for convenience of reference, The Treasurer's and Sheriff's offices are In good condition and the beoka and pa pers appertaining thereto in order so far as our examination extended, The County jail needs some repairs. The iron work in the cells, and gratings, bat rusted badly, and should be painted or covered with some preparation to pre serve the same. In other respects the jail is in as good condition as tbe arrange ment of the same will admit of, The action of the County Court in mak ing tbe repairs on tbe roof and dome o the Court House, ie to be commended and b would suggest that tbe County Court proceed at onos to haye tbe plaster ing In the Court House repaired wherever the same Is broken, and also have tbe walls kalsominedand placed In good con dition. We would further suggest that the trap door, through which the ascent to the dome of the Court House is made be kept locked or securely fastened In some way as soon ss repairs now going on are completed, so as t a prevent persons getting out on the roof and walking around on the aemo. It is the opinion of the Grand Jury that much of the dam ge to the ceiling, dome and roof of the Court House has been dune by boya walking over or ou the same. V H. Calo wem , PSTKB lill.YEC, S. J.

It la to be hoped that it may be accomplished No Oregon ian Is more deserving of such an honor. An exchange says : '-General lane distinguished himself in tbe war witb Mexico, earning the sobri quet of "The Marion of tbe Mexican War" and when selected by Preaideut Polk to organize the Oregon government, left Bis homo in Indiana within forty-eight hours after receiving notice ot bla appointment, crossed tho arid desert of the Now Mex ico and Arizona, resisting in bis passage through California the influences of the gold excitement, which caused tbe deoer lion of all but two of bis companions, and reached Oregon in time U proclaim the organization of tbo Territorial Govern ment on tbe 3rd of March. 1849, just one day Itefore tbe expiration of President Po'lk's administration.

It is Suing that the people of Oregon should erect a suitable monument to bis memory, and we hope tbe Legislature will make an approprta lion sufficient to supplement the liberal private donations which will doubtless be made."

Old and young have caught the spirit, and all are going. None propose to lose the opportunity of hearing a man of the notoriety of Joseph Cook. The ear has a taste for fine oratory and it should be satisfied. Joseph Cook has talked to audiences composed of thousands but when he comes to Albany and sees three hundred before bim be will ''spread himself" as m ion as if five thousand were listening. That's bis style. If be were paid to do it ho would exert himself with all h:s power before two men and a woman away back in the wilds of New York as quickly as be would in tbe me tropolis of Linn county. We are glad so many are going, because it will do more good than ten darkey shows and an opera combined ; yon will not hear any comic songs, nor see any tragedy, but you will hear any amount of sound sense, told in as eloqoant a manner as any American is able to tell it. Deputy Sheriff "Vanny" Smith, who took O'Rouxke to Salem last week, Informs us that his prisoner made No. 21, the largest numbar ever incarcerated there.
