REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.


The Grand Jurors for the Term of March,
1874, beg leave TO report that the general APP
pearance OF the Jail, rs TO order and cleanli-
ness is creditabe; and as comfortable as II
can be made, unless the furnace for heating
the building was in thorough order which
we would recommend (f practicable) be put
in thorough order, as the stove on the first
floor does not in extreme cold weather make
the upper story comfortable.
The stairway leading to the basement from
the yard in the rear Of the building is entirely
exposed to the weather. We would recon-
mend 1t be protected by roof covering, would
suggest the propriety Of paving or travelling
the yard enclosed by wall in rear of the build
ing.
The small building in the yard is SO situa-
ted that pole placed upon the roof renders i,
possible for prisoners to escape We recon-
mend its removal to some point obviating the
the difficulty.
The Aims House is in good order, present.
ing the appearance of being Clearly and neatly
kept; the comfort of the inmates evidently
looked TO. The farm of the same is in order,
showing that those having it in trust are faith
full in the discharge of their duty. We would
recommend the gravelling of the yard in the
rear of the building.
Roads and Bridges are in order as far as the
means enable the officers to keep them, except
the Bridge over Rock Creek on the road from
Rockville to Washington and Brookeville
Pike, which has the railway down on the
North side.
We respectfully submit,
ISAAC YOUNG,
Foreman.

Bradley's Patent Enamel Paint.

Gas- 1t is but little more than a quarter of
century since the art of mixing paint WAS
confined almost exclusively to a few, compar-
atively speaking. Now, however, through
the ingenuity of BRADLEY, a practical paint
er. as well as a Chemist, we are not only ena-
bled TO apply the paint, if we desire bu. can
see the shades in advance, a BEAUTIFUL
SAMPLE CARD being furnished GRATIS,
with the different shades or tints numbered.
Not having used the Enamel Paint our
selves, we cannot, of course, speak from ex-
perience, but we have not doubt it is all
that is claimed for it-BEAUTY, DURABLE
lTI and ECONOMY-and must evidently in
short space of time supersede the Old Style
Paint. As an evidence of the great worth of
the ENAMEL PAINT, we most respectfully
request ALL of our readers to carefully read
the excellent testimonials of AIR. G. p Knight

our paper. jan l6

For the Sentinel
The Maryland horticultural Society

Among the many efforts being made by
earnest men to advance the true interest of our
State, to draw attention to her wonderful ad-
vantages of soil and climate, and to place her
in the position she ought to occupy, the recent
formation of State Horticultural Society is
one OF the most important and should call
forth Jealous cooperation.
The society was organized a few months
since in Baltimore by electing Ezra Whitman
as President, with one Vice President from
each county, three from the City of Baltimore
and four sat large" viz ]. Howard McHen-
ry, John w. Garrett Col. Edward Wilkins,
1.-THE largest Peach grower in Maryland), and
A. Bowie Davis. The Vice Presidents en-
brace some of the most intelligent and active
gentlemen in the State, such as Judge Magru-
der, Judge Marshall, Hon. John Lee Carroll
and others
In order to make the next meeting as attrac-
tive as possible, an invitation is extended to
all who feel an interest in Horticulture to be
present, and to bring any plant, flower or
fruit that they think would be of interest.
The meeting will be held at the rooms of
the Society S. w. corner of Eutaw and Fay
cite streets, on Tuesday, April 2Ist, at II
o'clock.
There are many persons in Montgomery who
feel deep interest in Horticulture and.in aid
ing TO advance the material prosperity of our
County and State. If any such can spare the
time to attend the meeting in Baltimore, and,
if possible, contribute something, however
small, TO the display of flowers and fruits, it
will not only encourage the friends Of the So

ANOTHER LIFE INSURANCE SwINDbE. "A fu-
neral Nth Nineteen Bricks in Place of u Corpse
On the goth of March the board of health Of
New York city, issued permit for the burial
of the body of Louisa Germs, aged 80, who
had died that day at the house of DR.. Ernest
Uhling, 100 Eldridge street, and on whose
certificate Of the cause of death the permit was
granted. The funeral and interment followed.
1t was soon rumored that Uhlng and Miss
Germs had been engaged, and that the doctor
had taken policy Of $40, 900 in the Merchants
Life Insurance company, which policy was to
revert to him in case of her death. Suspicious
followed that the death of the young woman
was the result of ma practice, and an affidavit
10 this effect was made and submitted 10 the
coroner. He sent for Uhling, who expressed
great sorrow for Miss Germs death, and in
sisted that she died a natural death The
insurance company was not satisfied at this,
and the coroner ordered the body TO be ex-
humed. The disnterment took place on
Saturday, and the coffin was taken to the
morgue and opened when, instead of body,
were found nineteen bricks wrapped in paper
and kept in place by laths. Charles Fink,
the undertaken, was arrested. Uhling was
| arrested yesterday at 228 east 25th street,
| secreted under bed. In his residence 100
Eldrdge street, the police arrested a woman
65 years of age, whi gave the name of Marie
| De Bagncki, and young man, named Aurel
De lrargi, who claims 10 be her nephew. In
a search among his effects, which were being
packed up cards and plates were found prov
ing that Uhlinq's real name was Ernest De
Bagnicki, and the woman was his wife, Bag
nicki appears to be member of neble Hun
garian family, aud has lived in New York city
since 1854. He has been in several bad scrapes,
and was tried twice before for swinding, but
escaped. The police are sanguine Of arrestine
the woman Germs in day or two.

too poor to afford pheasants or partridges, or
even competent representative on the floor
of the house Here the speakers gavel came
down violently, and Mr.. Syphax was ordered
to take his seat. A member forthwith offered
resolution to expel Mr. Syphax from his seat
in the house for wantonly insulting member
on the floor Mr. Syphax attempted to make

1t is said that the unpleasantness about
Bald Mountain in North Carolina, is owing TO
fire having been built in an aperture about
three years ago TO smoke out coon, and the
fire is still burning. That coon did some good
in bringing those people to repentance who
were SO frightened at what they supposed to
be volcano. There is a hotter place than
Bald Mountain, but it's not in North Carolina.

PAINFUL EvENT.--A letter in the Alexandria
Gazette from White Post, Clarke county, Sth
instant, says: A most painful event has re-
Gently occurred in this community, by which
highly respectable family has been plunged
into the deepest distress. On Sunday the
10th ult., about seven clock, p. NJ, a daugh-
ter of James f. Weir disappeared from her
fathers house, and up to this date no clue or
trace of her has been discovered. Mr. Weir
resides near the Shenandoah river, and at first
the painful apprehension existed that his
daughter had put period to her existence,
and was sleeping beneath its quiet waters
For such conclusion no adequate cause could
possibly be assigned, and the strictest search
having failed 10 confirm that suspicion, it has
been abandoned. The young lady who has so
mysteriously disappeared, was popular with
her acquantances, and one against whose fair
fame no breath OF suspicion was ever raised
The entire community sympathze with the
distressed and hereaved family, and unite in
.hehope that the dark cloud now impending
over it may soon be dispelled.
