carnivals that had their origin in a small
masquerading party from the neighborhood
of Gaithersburg to this town, and which
increased in interest and proportions, a very
pleasant rivalry between the two munich
palities and their respective friends, culmi-
mated on Saturday last in one of the most
spirited affairs of the kind that ever, in all
probability, occurred within the limits Of
the State.
The affair originated in a very laudable
desire on the part of the citizens OF Rock
vile and its vicinity to return decidedly
creditable and pleasing sleighing carnival
from our enterprising friends of Gathers
burg and the surrounding neighborhood to
Rockville on the previous Thursday. To
show their appreciation of this visit the peo-
pie of Rockville and their immediate friends
put forth one of their best efforts, and the
affair was, as we have said, complete and
descriptive success. Indeed we do not re-
member ever to have seen our people so ami
mated and determined to make an event
agreeable and interesting to all parties inter-
ested. Young and old, large and small put
their wit and energies together and by
o'clock in the afternoon a procession of one
hundred and fifteen or twenty sleighs pro-
ceeded by band moved in the direction OF
Gaithersburg.
The characters and representations, which
were many, were good and remarkably well
gotten up and reflected much credit upon
the originators, whilst they were innocent,
amusing and fully suggestive of the ideas
intended to be conveyed. This visit was
anticipated at Gaithersburg and the excite
ment which prevailed at Rockvi lie extend
ed in and around the young and growing
municipality Of the former to such an ex-
tent as to draw crowd of some several
hundred persons to greet the visiting carni-
val
These little episodes are pleasant, harmless
and interesting and do much to while away
the cold, dreary and monotonous hours of
the winter-time, when rece lived in the spirit
in which they are intended, and calculated to
awaken a social intercourse that tends to the
closer and more friendly alliance of neigh
boring communities. These sleighing car
nivals between Rockville and Gaithersburg
are, we hope, but the Inauguration of others
throughout the county. They can do no
harm, and when properly conducted are
conducive to health and pleasure.

Deeds SET As;de-An interesting case

Dee0S SET ASlOe.-An interesting Oase
was decided Tuesday in the Equity Court,
Washington, d. c. The late Allison Nay
lor during his lifetime, while cohabiting
with one Catharine Comfy, decided her real
estate to the value of $4,000. After his
death, which occurred in her house, his
wife-Rachel Naylor-and his heirs sued
to have the deed set aside, on the ground
that undue influence had been used The
decision of the court was the effect that the
deceased had been a careful business man
until his acquaintance with the Comfy wo-
man; that he was taken to her house by a
procuress; that his wife was not to blame
for desertion, as he had said she was the
best woman in the world. The court held
that illicit intercourse can be no considera-
ton for deed, unless it is in case of seduc-
ton. 1t was shown that deceased became a
reckless person after knowing Mrs. Comfy,
allowing his property to be sold under the
hammer, sc. The deeds were, therefore, set
aside

project in hand, to state that Immediately
after the adjournment of the Lyceum this
evening public meeting will at once be
convened for the purpose of pushing for

Hall is a necessity long felt by our citizens
is admitted by every one; that it can be
made to pay a respectable dividend to its
projectors or stockholders is also beyond a
question of doubt OF this subject we have
given our opinion at length in former issues
of the SENTINEL, and from the position
then and there assumed by us we will re-
tract nothing. Let every man, woman and
child who feels pride in our town meet in
council tonight and let us give the project
an impetus that will not stop short Of CIV
ing us Hall of which every citizen may
justly be proud and one that will be an or

Knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build,

Knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build,
ing, in Baltimore, has been adorned with q
new coat Of Knights beautiful Enamel Paint,
and looked appropriate in It's holiday attire
during the sesqui-centenniai week. Its cheap
ness, beauty and durability are three points
that give it a preference over all others. By
practical painters 1t Is said to be the best in
use, and we are inclined to agree with them,
for that placed upon our Office is as bright
and compact as when first put on during the
past summer. Those who arc in need Of
paint we invite TO examine the difference in
beauty and durability between the Enamel
Paint and lead and oil upon our dwelling
house and Office. The lead and oil upon the
house-though put there at the same time
the Enamel was put on the office-is dingy,
spotted and blistered. See advertisement in

A Bold Burglary.-


A Bold Burglary Sunday night
last one of the best conceived and boldly
executed robberies took place in the estab-
lishment of W. w. Burdette 81 Co, whose
advertisement is regularly found in the
columns of the SENTINEL. Each entrance
is locked by paddock ON the outside, and
large lock on the inside. But locks have
no terrors for desperate men. With lights
brilliantly burning in both wings an en-
trance was effected between 6 and 10 o'clock,
at the X street door by drawing the staple,
breaking the hasp that held the paddock,
prying open the door and bending the inner
lock with jimmy.
The way was now clear aud, having
picked out fifty-seven pieces Of silk and
several bolts Of satins de Lyons. besides
some ladies' cloaks, within the recess, the
drawer. This was easily opened and $15
in change was found therein. They took
pains, however, 10 leave several counterfeit
silver coins that were also in the drawer.
taxing LhelE piuHutI Will lnetll, Ilc tHlcNto
left, not, however, forgetting TO put on a
new paddock in the place of the one taken
of. The total value of the goods stolen
amounts to about 5000.
The thieves, three in number, took rooms
about two weeks ago at house on Ninth
street, near K. They purported to be tray
cling agents. On the night Of the robbery
they hired hack and conveyed the stolen
goods in it to the depot, and shipped them
to Philadelphia. While the store was being
robbed one of the gang stood outside. A
sister-in-law Of Mr. Burdette was passing
by the store, and naturally looked in to see
if every one had left. The man asked her
what she wanted, and when she told him,
he answered in an assuring manner that all
the clerks had gone home. The thieves
bought tickets for Philadelphia and left
ostensibly for that city, the morning after
the robbery.
Our sympathy and that OF hundreds Of
our citizens is extended TO this enterpris-
ing and popular firm. While their loss
may for few days embarrass their regular
transactions in trade, their stock will soon
be filed with new and probably better
grades than those stolen from them.

INDIA.
From the TimeS.)

a strange case is now occupying the
attention of the Judges Court at Kola.
pore, a native state 10 Western India.
Tweuty-seven men, consisting of Bah.
mius, MaEraltas, Mabomedans, and Mhars,
and three OF them being Sepoys 10 the
Maharajah's service, are charged with at
tempting to wage war against the Q1esn,
collecting arms, conspiracy, &c. The
story Of the case as told by the Public
Prosecutor is briefly as follows Early
last year one of the prisoners named Ram
bhut conceived the idea of raising q rebel
lion in Kolapore. and announced to bis
confederatcs his intention of deposing the
present Maharajah and procIaiming one
China Sahlb, who was Joint Mahafajah 10
1857, aud who, being suspected OF compli-
city in the Mutiuy, wag deported to Klra-
chez. where he died in 1867, There seems
to be a belief among the Ignorant people
in KoIapore that Chimu Sahib is still alive.
aud Rambhut traded on this belief. The
massacre Of the English resident and .
general rising against the English. formed
part of the plot, and as ready money was
required a series Of dacoities was organiz-
ed and some of them carried into effect
Several meetings Of the conspirators were
held, at which, it is said, from 1000 to
5000 persons were present, and 1t was r.

Der. The treasury was then to Do seized
the city looted, and the telegrapa wires
cut. Heavy rain upset this plain, and it's
execution was postponed till the following
Sunday, the 9TH OF November. On that
day the conspirutors missed their way TO
the church and did not arrive there until
the congregation had dispersed. Then It
was agreed to fix the rising tor Sunday,
the 18Th. and every precaution was taken
to insure its success. But before the day
came the plot was discovered. The Wit
nesses who have been examined 80 far
have spoken to ii a discnvary OF ornas, o"a
have given an account of the meetings OF
the conspirators. It would seem that the
plot was wild aud certain of ultimate fall
ure. AS it was, however. it was really se.
riously con templated.

THE OUTRAGE AT SALFORO
BAR RACKS
From the Times of 17h Jdn.)

Our Manchester Correspondent
telegraphed last night, with refer
ence to the explosion at Stafford
Barracks =
"The Investigations of the police
and the military and other evidence
they have been able to obtain con
firm the impression that the explo-
sion at the Stafford Barracks on Fri
day night was a diabolical outrage,
and there are circumstances which
point with some clearness to the
OBJECT Of the outrage as the destruc-
ton of the armoury. Its authors
seem to have been mIsled as to the
part of the building in which the
arms were stored, and this seems to
indicate that they were strangers, or,
at all events, persons who were not
very familiar with the barracks. The
barracks occupy a considerable area
of ground abutting upon Regent
road, from which entrance is obtain
ed. Behind the building is a blank
boundary wall some four or five
yards in height, and against this wall,
inside the barrack yard, is a loHs
lean-to shed, which is divided by par
tition walls into three compartments,
used respectively as a linen store, a
meat store, and an armoury. In n
boundary wall, and only about a
yard from the ground, there are a
number of strong iron grids built INTO
the brickwork for the purpose OF
ventilating the sheds. The explo-
sion occurred close to the last grid
in the meat store, and close to the
partition wall of the armoury, into
which, probably, it was thought the
grid entersd. This suspicion is
strengthened by the fact that the
next grid bears marks of attempts to
remove it. The canister, which was
found "a the debris, was, it is suppos-
ed, Introduced through the grid near
which the explosion occurred, the
grid having first been removed and
was fred by mean of a fuse. 1t
should be remembered that there
was . dense fog over the whole dis
trict at the time, and the persons
who committed the outrage would
