OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE JAIL.-On Friday of
last week the grand jury now in session made
an official visit TO the Jail, and thoroughly in
spected its several compartments, and their forth
coming report will doubtless tell the same old
story, and narrate the same facts, viz that the
prisoners are all well cared for-that everything
possible for their comfort is done by Sheriff
Baldwin and Warden Burke-that the building
is clean and neat, bat that the whole structure is
sadly out of repair, and totally untitled for the
purposes for which it is used
The grand jurors, together with a number OF
invited guests, were very handsomely entertained
by Sheriff Baldwin, and the afternoon was very
agreeably passed by those present in social con-
verse, singing, &c.

The New HOSPITAL FOR THE INsANE.-The prop
er,y known as Spring Grove, near Gainesville,
in this county, it will be recolected, was pur-
chased about fifteen years ago by the State OF
Maryland for a new hospital for the insane. Dur
ing these years various impediments have prevent
ed the completion of the buildings, but by the aid
of the appropriation made by the last General
Assembly the construction was resumed, and is
now far advanced. In fact the entire north wing
has been so completed as TO be ready for the fur
niture, and the institution can receive inmates
whenever the finances necessary in the very be-
ginning of The hospital administration are provi-
ded for its maintenance. This new hospital for
the unfortunate insane is another noble institu-
ton of which every citizen of the State may just
ly feel proud.

PIMLIco RACE TRACK.-Some time ago the City
Council of Baltimore determined to donate S25,
900 towards preparing the grounds of the Mary
land Agricultural Society, when such grounds
represent the city in the Society. The State
trustees, however, contended that the city trus-
tees had no voice in the selection of the Fair
Grounds and proceeded themselves to select the
Pimlico Race Track, near Hookstown, as the
site for the proposed enterprise. The city then
voted TO withhold its appropriation, but lately
the subject has been again discussed, and on
Wednesday last resolution was passed in the
City Council directing the payment of the S25,
0CO to he trustees of the Agricultural Society,"
We presume that with this money the grounds
will be put in complete order during the coming
Summer, and be ready for the great national
contest designed to take place in 1870.
