The Sheriff's office and appurtenances thereto belonging, were yesterday removed to the new quarters designed for it in the new County Court House. The balance of the county officers will quickly follow the Sheriff. NI December 9, 1864 p3cl: Moving.Same of our county officials, taking advantage of the clear weather yesterday the first since the storm began moved to their new quarters in the county Court House, just completed. By next Monday they will all get into their new offices. The building is one of the finest in the State, and our officers will be glad to get out of the crowded basement of the Baptist Church, where they have all been quartered since the firemore than a year in the comfortable and gay offices in the new building. NI December 11, 1864 p3cl: The New Court House.This splendid structure is now completed, excepting a few days painting, and the best part of it is that it is entirely paid for.

The wall is to be thirteen feet high, and to extend from the northeast corner of the Court House to the stone wall around to the northwest corner of the building, completely enclosing the jail.

We doubt if a more secure building of the kind can be found in the State. It seems impossible that human ingenuity can devise any means of escape fran the building. For the more desperate criminals three boiler iron cells have been contructed. They are made of heavy material, and are each eight feet square. The door is secured by a combination of locks and bolts which would defy the skill of the most expert lock picker.

The tone is excellent and it weighs 484 pounds. it is one of the best bells every brought to this city. NT December 1, 1866 p3cl: A New Belfry. The Supervisors yesterday authorized Mr. Battis to get up plan and specifications for a belfry which is designed to erect upon the Court House building. The bell is at present exposed to the storms, and is so arranged that it may be rung by any one fram the outside; besides, the jaring of the bell has injured the jail walls, and in obedience to the recommendation of the last Grand Jury the Board proposes to erect a belfry.

The vaults in the Clerk's office and in the roam formerly occupied by the County Recorder have been united, and the entire space will be used by the Clerk for safely keeping valuable documents.
