\ COURT AND JURY or CoLORED MEN.-
The Crumpton Queen Anne's county,
gazette Of last week mas the following par
ticulars Of novel court recently in scS-
sion in that vicinity, which we believe is
the first OF the kind ever held in Mary
land. The Gazette says:
On Saturday last court Of negroes con-
vened at the tish-housc on the shore at this
place, and proceeded to the trial Of one OF
their number for larceny. 1t appears that
the offender was good for nothing, being
too lazy to earn an honest livelihood, and
To keep up appearances watched his OPP
portunity and entered the houses of his
neighborS during their absence, and appro-
priatcd whatever OF their goods his wants
demanded; lately he made "a descent upon
a colored mans house and took a suit Of
clothes. He was arrested with part OF the
clothes upon him, brought before this
quondam court, stripped OF the stolen
goods, and, upon due consideration, SEN
fenced to receive twenty lashes upon the
bare back, which were administered then
and there by one OF the members OF the
court. The scene caused considerable
mcrriment.

NITRO GLYrERlNE EXPERIMENTS.
On last Saturday afternoon Colonel TAI.
I. Shai!ncr made series of military cA-
prrimcutS in one of the fields at the rear "i
The Lincoln Hospital, near the Eastern
Branch. The object Of the experiments
was 10 show the superiority OF the expo
ding power of nitro. glyccrinc as compared
with guupowdcr. \ rocket charged with
powder was the first sent ny, aud was oil
the ordinary character. \ nitro-glycc-
rinc rocket was then sent of with very
loud report, and the distance the stick was
shot up into the mir was really aStonSh-
ing. This little experiment elected toud
applause from the spectators. The next
cxrcrimcnt was two gun-barrclS charged
with o-glvccrinc, and two charged with
powder, the barrels being placed in
iron pipes and exploded by an electric
fuse. The barrels charged with powder
,wcrc split open, while those charged with
NE nitro-glyccrinc were actually broken to
nirrcs. TorpcdocS were sunk in the river,
and discharged 10y electricity. At the dis
lance from which the explosions were seen
in the rivrrt. he effect was beautiful, eSpc-
ciallv with tie vorpcuocS cnafgcd WIN
nitru-glvccrinc, which threw the water into
the air probably one hundred and fifty
feet. forming beautiful fountain, 10 which
the rays Of the sun gave all the colorS OF
the rainbow. \ piece OF caSt-iron weigh
ING nine hundred pounds, and having Il
hole bored in il fifteen inches deep and
one inch in diameter, filled with gunpOwdcr,
was next exploded by train fuse. The
plug was blown ont and the iron itself split.
4 piece OF iron Of the same weight, SINH
larlv prepared, and charged with nitro
glvccrinc, was exploded in the same man
urr. The report was tremendous, and the
iron flew into the air in pieces, and one
Of the fragments went screaming like a
she'll across the river.
Colonel Shatincr said that nitro-glycc-
rinr was, as hc had now proved, the safest
Of all explosive substances.
