instruction of the Blind,

We have received the 9th report of the d.
rectors of the Md. Institution for the insruc-
ton of the Blind, and have read it with con-
siderable interest. 1t appears that there are,
ut present, forty-eight blind children in the
Asylum, who are receiving an education
which will enable them to support them
selves. We recently paid visit to the in.
stitution, and were gratiiied to observe the
efficiency with which its affairs arc managed,
by its accomplished and gentlemanly super
intendent, F. ID. Morrison, Esq. who, by the
way is native of Hartford county. On this
occasion we were shown through the entire
building, and had an opportunity of noting
the proficiency which some of the children
have made in their studies-particularly in
those which would seem TO require eyesight,
rs well as an effort of the mind, such as read.
ing, writing, arithmetic, &c. The books
used are printed with raised letters the pu-
pill reading by the sense of touch instead of
eyesight, and some of them with wonderful
ease and fiuepcy In the study of arithmetic,
instead of states they use cypherng boards,
nary school slate These frames contain
small square divisions, made to receive the
figures, the latter being square blocks of met
nj, to fit the divisions in the board, the figures
being raised on one end of the blocks, like
printing type. At the top of the slate the
scholar keeps an assortment of figures with
which to work his sums. With these block
figures some of the children could multiply,
subtract and divide, with almost as much
rapidity as children of the same age, who
possess eyesight
For music these blind children evince pc.
culisr aptness and fondness Many of them
play on the piano with remarkably fine touch
and sing well-though their voices seemed
generally sad and plaintive. The boys are
taught to make brooms and the girls to ope.
rate on sewing machines. They are also very
skillful in the manufacture of beautiful arti-
Giles of bead work, which are sold for their
own exclusive benefit. They all seemed in
excellent health and spirits and devoted to
the matron Miss Rebecca A. Bond, who is
also native of this county, and to their teach
ers.
There are accommodations in the institu-
ton for many more blind children, and min
listers of the gospel, school teachers, physi-
cians or any one knowing of the whereabouts

of blind child, are requested to make the
fact known to the superintendent, Mr. F. D.
Morrison, who will make arrangements to
receive them in the Asylum where their ed
ucation will be provided for out of the fund
allowed by the State.
The Blind Asylum is situated near the ter
minus of the Charles street Passenger Rail-
way, Baltimore, and is one of the handsomest,
as it is also one of the best managed institu-
tions in the state. Any of our readers who
have an hour or two to spare in Baltimore,
could not spend the time more pleasantly
than by visiting this institution.
The following are the officers of the Insti-
tuition:
uperintendent-F. d. Morrison Matron,
Miss Rebecca A. Bond; Teachers of Litera-
ture, Miss Emma A. Yarnall and Miss Lucy
II. Yarnall; Professor of Music, Frank T.
Darlington.

To the Honorable Judges
Of the Circuit Court for Hartford County:
THE Grand Jurors for February Term,
l. 1872, most respectfully represent that
we visited the Jail. We find therein five
negro men, confined for the following Of
fences:
One serving an unexpired sentence; three
for larceny; one for rape; one negro wo-
man for producing death of child by expo
sure and neglect; one white man for break
ing in house and other riotous conduct
all of whom we found in as comfortable.
condition as the building will afford.
AS your Honors' attention has so often
been called to the condition of the build
ing, we feel it unnecessary to further call
attention to the same.
We also beg leave to report to your Hon
ors that we have taken cognizance of all re-
ported violations of law, and all cases
which in our judgment, the evidence was
sufficient, we have presented to the Court
for disposal.

RAILROAD MEETING AT JARRETTsvILLE.

The object of this meeting is to further the
the construction of railroad from Delta to

Mr.. W. w. Taylor, civil engineer, who has
recently, in company with committee of
citizens interested, made Il preliminary ex-
animation of the route, will be present and
address the meeting. This road, if built, will
not only be benefit to the section through
which it passes, but will indirectly prove of
value to the entire county, by increasing the
taxable value of the lands near the railroad,
thus reducing the rate of taxation. The same
we hold to be true in regard to every enter
prise which seeks to develope the resources
of any portion of our county.
