Horse DROWNED We are sorry to hear
of u serious loss sustained by our friend, NJ.

Mr.. Tulis came to town on Sunday last to
attend church, and left his horse, q valuable
riding animal, hitched to the fence. Some
time before the services concluded, the horse
by some means, got loose, and started for
home. While crossing the ice, he left the
travelled track to drink as is supposed, at an
open place IL sight, a short distance above,
but got on thin ice before ne reached it, and

diseases to which the bon vivdnt and man OF
indolent habits are peculiarly subject as well
as those scorbutic affections caused by a
superabnndance of salt diet and the hard
ships and privations of seaman's life, are
readily removed by Holloway's Ointment
The disfguring blotches, pustules, pmples,

distractions in the secretive organs are also
Immediately obliterated by this purifying and

These instruments contain all the improve

evenness and qaaity are some Of its charac-

PROFESSIONAL lMMUSITY.-Judge MADI-
SON NELSON, OF the Circuit Court for Frede-

ment for an alleged contempt against Will
LIAM ?. MAULsBY, Esq, member of that
bar, and sentenced him to pay fine Of five
hundred dollars, and to stand committed to
the custody of the sheriff of Frederick county
until he purged himself of the contempt be-
fore the Grand Jury, by delivering to that
body certain papers held in bis possession be-
longing to a man indicted for forgery, and
for whom Mr.. NJ. was counsel, and which he
had previously refused to deliver A writ Of
habeas corpus in the case was made to Judge
BARToL, of the Court of Appeals, which was
argued by Messrs. REvERpY JOHNSON, COLE

The Annapolis Republican of Saturday says /:
under the writ the Judge has discharged
Col Maulshy, but does not impeach the va
ltlity of the judgment of Judge Nelson
The opinion Of the Judge will he written out
at length and published. The grounds can
be inferred from the fact that shortly after
Col. NJ. was fined the Grand Jury was dis
charged, aud therefore he would have no OPP
portunity of purging himself Of the con-
