Lawyers.


SOLICITOR S ATTIC, ROCKVILLE, MD.
Mr.. Editor 1T is conceded by all that the
profession of the law is high and honorable.
When in mood Of reflection, not long ago,
though what glorious satisfaction II Ts 10
the man who has attained an eminence in the
legal profession, which the world would not
dare to scorn / have often heard il said that
the practice of criminal la " is singularly beau
tiful, and a well-paved road 10 emiuenee and
distinction.
When in my Imagination, see thousands
of souls stretched from the one end Of this
continent 10 the other, and hear the lawyers,
as lord-lieutenanis, hum the watch word
justice along the line, my heart vIbrates 10 the
sound as deeply as the sorrow Of the Ameri-
can patriot who sees liberty pinioned, shack
| eled and trampled in the dnsi.
| The more ! think ufon the matter, the
greater is my desire to become "A criminal law
yer. Now, if | should read understandlngly
| such course of law, do you think il advisa-
! BILE TO locate here in my own dear, lille viii
lager ! am perfectly aware OF the fact that
| our criminal practice is nearly equally dlyid-
ed among the members OF our bar. II you
don't believe me, go and examine the records
Of the Court then yon will be convinced.
You see, therefore, young criminal lawyer,
instead OF being well patronzed, would be
exceedingly fortunate to get his proportlonate
part; but that is not what ! am fter, ! want
you, or some of your gentle readers, to give
me the points Of wire working, so can get
all, or, at least, the bulk OF the criminal prac-
tice.
| well-lsuow mans best help is in himself,
but sometimes the battle Can be fought by
proxy. Now, if go into this matter, it is
not my desire for the 9 blind TO lead The
blind that is, | want some one who is some
thing of an expert to give me the elementary
principles, and his teachings must be of such
a nature as to insure success.
There are many lawyers in this country
aud like all other classes Of men, some are
good some are bad, some are handsome, somt
are homely, some have thick heads, some hay.
clear heads. some witty, and some are
smart, and have great admiration for smart
lawyers; repeatedly and repeatedly have
been moved to tears when have heard them
with eloquence and strength nobly defend
their cause.
Some, however, are little too smart, they
know well how to get case, if they do no
know how to defend it.
If ! cannot get any one TO proclaim my
abilities, If | cannot succeed in operating
through an agency, do you think it will do t'
locate here, as a criminal lawyer?

Clerk of our Court was ordered to show cause
on the goth of March, why the writ should

TO this petition was filed on that day, wing

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.



We. The Grand Jurors Of Montgomery
county, March Term 1875, do represent 10
YOUR Honors that we have endeavored faith
fully TO discharge our several duties as the
Grand Jurors for the body Of Montgomery
county. AS part Of our duties, we have
visited and inspected the Jail, and found it
botn clean and comfortable. The prisoners,
with few exceptions, acknowledge them
selves rs comfortable aud well provided for,
as well rs could be expected under the cir
cunstances We believe the following re-
pairs to be necessary for the safety of the
prisoners and protection Of the building:
An iron shutter at the lower window of the
West end of the building; new door, porti-
co and steps at the East entrance of the Jaior s
room, with portico over the steps that lead
TO the cellar on the inside of the Jail yard, 10
prevent The water from undermining the build
ing.
We also visited the Aims House, and on
examination, found the house in good order,
and also the out-buildings. The farm is in
fair condition. We Noticed the garden fence
| is somewhat ont Of repair TO which we would
call the attention of The Trustees. For the
comfort of the inmates, we suggest few more
| chairs be procured Total number of inmates
| "a. eleven whites, and thirteen colored.
We further report that made exani-
nation of the Court House. Whilst we agree
with the Hon. Court that many improve
ments are needed we do not deem them
advisable at the present, thinking economy
/ ought to be our motto until our county re-
covers from the present financial crisis upon it.
Under Act OF 1874, Oh. 439, we have rec
omrlended 70 applicants for liquor license,
to the Clerk of the County Court, and rejected
Q; all Of which we respectfully submit to the
Honorable Court.

STORIES OF THREATENED ISyAsfoN.-Since
the recent lynching Of Scott, the negro raw
isher of Mrs. Nelson, on the Motley Hall es-
tate, in Prince Georges county, Nd opposite
Alexandria, there has been considerable alarm
in the neighborhood in consequence OF rumors
that party has been organized in Washing
ton fo. the purpose of making a raid to rob
and murder in that neig ighborbood and avenge
the lynching Of Scott. Many families nightly
sleep on their arms and some in the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of Fort Foote have become
so apprehensive Of raid that they have fled
to the fort for security, and have lodged there
for several nights past. Last night resident
Of that section was in town and called on
Lieutenant Austin to inquire if the police had
any knowledge of the proposed raid and asked
that inquiries be made. Lieutenant Austin
promised to keep sharp lockout and to take
such measures as would lead to the capture
of any gang of raiders should one start

An INDIAN BCRYING GROUND A cores
pondent of The Columbia (Ky.) Spectator
tells the following story Dr. Il. II. Perry
man. of Casseys Greek, has made discovery
that is truly wonderful. On perpendicular
cliff not far from his house, about twenty-five
feet from the bottom, is a shelving rock about
one hundred yards long, sheltered from the
rain and stormy blasts by an overhanging
rock, which was once used by the Indians as
Il graveyard Hundreds Of well-preserved
bodies were lying there side by side, with a
thin rock slab between them Each body has
a stone vault, covered over by thin rock,
and the whole row is covered with dirt
brought from distance. 1t was very cold
dav when the doctor made this discovery
and he opened only three Of these vaults, but
in these he found well preserved corpse-the
hair and everything complete, but ihey melt
ed TO dust as soon as the air struck them.
| The bones remained intact and one skele-
ton was of enormous size, some seven or eight
feet long In these vaults were willow bas-
| kets. ornamened with shells and various
trinkets, showing the handwork of the de-
| parted These trinkets all crumbled on COM
! ing in co.tact with air This place, the doc
| tor says, has been observed before, but there
being nothing visible but dirt, has attracted
no attention. The place is almost inaccessi-
bic to man, and how these bodies aud these
stones were got there, will ever remain mys-
ierious.
