REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
To the Hon. Judges Of the Circuit Court 70,
MONTGOMERY county:

<uOHtyUUtcfy cOuHty'
The Grand Jurors would respectfully repre-
sent, that 10 the performance Of their duties
a committee was appointed tout OF their body
10 visit the Aims House and report upon its
condition aud needs
That committee found the house in excel
leni condition, giving evidence OF care and
oversight OF the part Of Mr.. Council, that was
very commendable The farm has yielded the
present year, about 10 barrels OF corn,
80 bushels Of wheat, ll8 bushels of potatoes.
IS tons ofhay and large quantity Of tnrnips
and other vegetables for the use Of the inmates
40 in number. The greatest want We found
in the building, wasa large cooking stove.
for preparing the food. The purchase of This
would come out Of the appropriation made lay
the Board Of County Commissioners for the
support Of the Institution. And we would
respectfully ask, that sum sufficient TO meet
this Expense may be estimated in next years
expenses
Our whole body visited the Jail and found
IL also In good condition rs far ms depended
on Mr.. Kingsbury, the Tailor, but owing 10
most detective sewerage the condition o:
part Of the Jail Yard WAS offensive and dis
gushing ia an eminent degree--lhe waste pipe
being too small. and the trap Of no use a
large quantity OF fetid matter was discharged
into the yard, endangering the he nth of the
inmates. We would urge immediate atlention
to this matter. The walls in the cellar were
found from the burTowins or rats TO be. as
some Of our number thought, 10 an insecure
condition, and we would also call attention
to this in order that IL may be- cemenled and
made az secure as wre'chedly bnilt house can
be BY subsequent labor.
A portion OF our time has been consumed
In the examination of class of trivial cases
that might have been settled by any magistrate
ofaversge capacity, and we would hope that the
time may come. when laws may be enacted to
effect this object, and thus save much expense
TO the county
The crossings of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad Of our county roads and turnpikes
at very public places, Is, form the neglect OF
that company, often attended with much dam
ger to our citizens. and representations to
that effect have been made by committee of
our people TO the proper officers They were
not able to induce this company to take any
steps TO remedy the evil and we would now
cali attention to Il under hope. that IL there
be power enough 10 this Court il may claim
lie consideration.
From evidence before us Of the disorderly
character OF the houses kept by John g. u
Richter and Horace Waters. in the village Of
Germantown, we recommend that their H.
cease to sell liquor he suppressed, but II this
cannot be done at present that their licenses
shall not be renewed nj their expiration.
We found confined in Jail, certain Mary
v. Cobnrn. evidently an insane woman We
bring this 10 the notice Of the Court aud
recommend she should be removed al once to
an asylum.

Shooting Affray.-On Saturday night
last a rather serious shooting affair occurred
at a locality in Berry's District, known as
Thomas Corner. Jas. Mcpherson was the
"shootest" of the party and safely lodged a
large load Of lead into the neck of one Chas.
Houser, making painful and dangerous
wound. He was arrested on Sunday night
by officer S. H. Jones, at Good Hope church,
and after hearing before John T. Baker, j.
p, he was committed to Jail for Court.
Thomas E. holland, Esq, of Berry's Dis
trict had two darkies arrested on Monday
last for trespassing and cunning on his farm,
They were tried before Justice Condict and
fined five dollars. Served them right.

A Good Man GOne.-In the course of
journalism for the past twenty-five years it
has fallen to the lot of the Sentinel to record
the demise of many citizens of the county
who have passed away to 'that bourne from
whence no traveller returns" but in noin-
stance have we felt more heartfelt sorrow
than in the death of Richard Bean, which
occurred on Tuesday morning last He was
we'll known in the community, and as a
friend to all will be long remembered. He
leaves behind a sorrowing wife and host
of friends who will silently drop a tear up
on his new made grave.

A Strangers Nose.

Some of those chaps who wear
their elbows down thin, leaning OH
sa aloon counters, have All artificial fly
with fine thread attached to the
back aud sometimes these toys can
be handled 10 the amusement OF u
small crowd. When an unknown
man yesterday fell asleep in a saloon
OH Michigan avenue, the young man
with an artificial fly was there. lie
took position behind his victim, who
was lying back OIL his chair, aud
presently the fly alighicd on the
strangers nose, walked up and down
the bridge, and settled fora moment
OF, the tip end. The sleeper never
moved finger The fly went over
the old route, dove into the corner ol
the left eye, galloped over TO the
right, and came down to the grand
stand OH dead run, but the sleeper
slept Oil. 1t began TO appear that he
was used to flies. aud so the game
was changed. by sticking a pin
through one Of these toys you can
make quite a bee of 1.-THE pin being
the slnser.
When tho 'bee' descended on the
strangers nose everybody expected to
sec a sudden start, but 1t did not
come. Alter a jab at the tip.end the
bee crawled along up, waiting fol
developments, and getting in an oc
casional sting, but not even sigh cs
cuped the sleeper. The young man
with the insect was getting tired when
the stranger lazily opened his eyes
slowly arose up from his chair. and
coolly remarked:
Now, then, if you have got through
fooling with my nose, I'll fool with
yours for awhile! ~.
1t isn't likely that particular young
man will ever dangle artificial flies

DEAR BREyIREN:. .L.L b

DEAR BREwREN:.l ana BIO sdr
The Executive Committee Of the
South Kentucky Christian Sunday
School Association authorize US to ad7-
dress you in regard to our work.
You are well aware that we have
as yet done but little toward the
thorough organization Of Sunday,
Schools and a systematic work ii.
preaching the Gospel in South Ken
tucky. All that can be said is that
we have made occasional efforts and
that the brethm of North Kentucky
have made few attempts to aid us. u
AT our Princeton meeting in June
it was decided to employ two .evange-
lists Zone white and one colored to
labor in South Kentucky, Tor such,
time as the money raised will justify,
| We now proceed tolexplain the work
we propose to do. The Executive
Committee have employed Bro. w.
L. Butler to spend September and Oc-
tober visiting some sixteen Churches
(all the time viii ellow), in Southern
Kentucky, tocxplain to YOU fully, the
nature OF our work and to solicit yonr
aid 70 send the Gospel into the dcsti-
tute places in our field. With the
money he raises we will employ aman
we'll qualified to labor in the Sunday
School and preach the Wort. HBro.
Butler secures, sufficient funds other
4aborers will be added. We. want
these men to strengthen weak Sunday
Schools and Churches, and to establish
new ones where the prospect for their
permanent continuance is good. It's
not desirable to convert men, and then
leave them to starve and. die, This
has been our fatal mistake in the past
We have already found andput into
the field well educated, pious and
energetic colorcd Evangelist, He II
now holding protracted meetings witt
marked success. When bad weather
comes he is to labor one week PEI
month at each of four points. that per
mancnt work can be done. His sup
ports is raised as follows: He secule
all he can among his people, some i
: voluntarily sent bywhit brethren, an'
when these fail he makes personal ap
peals to the Churches 70, his work
This he did at the beginuing of hi
work with success. a ~ W
Brethren, we propose no work out
, side the Church. This is work 70
us as individual Christians. Hcrow
can all labor for the Masters cause
, AS the messengers of fthe Churches
we are willing to carry, with charge
your aims to "those who labor i
word and doctrine" that they mayb

kept Paul at Corinth.
