Anv PlOW in the World

We can appeal 10 every farmer who owns n
GlLPlN and is familiar with other Sulky
Pl0ws for the truth of the following claims to
superiority:

securing qualities, aud the most durable Plow

2. Its power-liii enables youth and old age
and crippled persons TO pillow ns well rs the

D. II requires no expert TO start or run 1t,
saving much expense 10 dealer and annoy

4. The one lever varies the depth, levels the
pillow nj all depths, and raises it out of the
ground, while Others cannot he cveled by the
use OF two or more levers.
3. The wingIng device is The simplest aud
most effective, holding the plow in any de-
sired position
O The wheels ARE provided with rcmova-
bile chilled boxes running on wrought spin
dies, insuring durability.

Grand Jury Report.
GRAND jury Room,
Marol Harm, 1891

March Term, 1884.
10 the Hon0aJle Judges Of tie Circuit Court
FIR Montgomery county:
The Grand Jurors beg leave TO submit the
following report;
We have examined ninety-two witnesses,
also such officers Of the county AS appeared
before us, and have found thirty-lour in
dictments.
Our work has been tedious from the fact
that many witnesses brought before MS un-
der the Local Option law were non-com-
initial, cvasive or Obdurate, having deter
mined, apparently, 10 shield parties against
whom they were expected to testify. Also,
We fear that the immunity granted parties
heretofore who have been presented under
this law, and the Indifference with which
the processes of the law have been executed
and enforced against parties from whom
knowledge might be obtained, leads many
10 think that obedience thereto is inmate
rial and that NY persistent transgression
they hope eventually TO nullify the law. In
view Of these iacts We recommend that, in
addition To their devotion TO duty, all officers
Of the county should enlist their Jealous
sympathies 10 enforce n strict compliance
herewith.
We visited the Jail and found therein
seven prisoners. The premises inside were
clean and understandable inmates con
tented, none having Complaints To make
Outside are several matters for improve
ment, which We think require immediate
attention. The entrances TO the basement
should be projected by shedding; the sink
should be drained and disinlected, aud il
possible some better means devised 10 re-
move the sewerage
A committe OF this body visited the Aims
House. They found the buildings in good
order and the farm well managed, but in
need Of granary. The inmates, thirty
four in NJ nber, eight white, twenty six col
Ored, four Of whom are small children, are
well cared for and healthy. There have
been nine deaths in the institution within
the last year.
The sanitary condition Of both Jail and
Aims House requires attention. The sink
of the one and the cess pool of the other
are IA stencil and u source Ot contamination

Chas. Thompson, who shot and wounded
Nelson and Buck Thompson, father and son,
in the latter part of last December, in Clarks-
burg district, was indicted by the late Grand
Jury On Tuesday last he was arrested and
brought here and gave bail in the sum of
$500 in each case. All of the witnesses il.
the case have been summoned to the present
term of Court, when, il Is very probable, the
prisoner will be tried for the attempt to kill
his uncle aud cousin. He was released from
all criminal responsibility in this affair by
the magistrate, in the district in which the
shooting occurred, upon the ground that the
attempt at killing was done in seli.delence.

DEATHS


DIED, at Spring Garden, the residence OF
his brother, Chas. A. G. Higgins, Esq, near
Brookeville, Md, on February 26th 1894,
HoRATIO HIGGINs, aged 81 years.
In the death ol Mr.. Higgins our commu-
nifty loses one OF its most estimable citizens.
He enjoyed the respect Of all who knew him
for integrity and amiability Of character.
His life was a more than ordinarily retired
one, but this was in no sense due to that
misanthropy or indifference which so often
causes persons TO circumscribe their social
sphere. believe that few possess Il reader
sympathy with others or fuller, more lively
interest in what concerns them than did he.
But in the domestic sphere, where he was
best known, he will be most missed and
lamented. The writer believes there was no
trait in him which tended to Offset or
countcract the influence Of his amiable quail
ties but his whole character bore in one d.
rection, viz: to endear him TO the hearts
around him. Fittingly, his end was peace.
Though great sufferer in his brief illness,
his mind was cheered with firm christian
hope, and he passed hence looking To II par
ticipation in the "Better Inheritance"
j..
DIED, ON the 18th of March, 1884, near
Goresville, Loudoun county, Virginia, Mrs.
MARY o. TRAMMELI, wiie OF Thos. Tram
nell, deceased, in the 71st year of her age.

COLONEL BOB INGERsoLL recently
stirred up the good old Quaker city OF
Philadelphia to its utmost depths with
one of his lectures. The Times gives
him a severe scoring, and one of the pas
tors threatened to have him arrested for
blasphemy, under a statute enacted in
1861, which provides a fine Of 800 and
three months imprisonment, or either,
for any person convicted Of speaking
loosely or profanely of Almighty God,
Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, or the
Scriptures of Truth" Had the threat
been carried out there would have been
but little trouble in convicting Pope Bob
before a good religious jury, forit would be
a very easy matter to prove that he
''speaks loosely" very loosely, of the sub.
jects named. Col. 1ngersol will probably
be very careful hereafter when he visits
the Getty of Brotherly Love-" He
might be willing to pay 500 for the
privilege of stirring up the menagerie
but he would not care about the impris.
onment. The incident will furnish him
material for some sharp thrusts hereafter
at tho Philadelphians.

SATISFACTORY progress is being made
in the large eastern cities in forcing the
telegraph, telephone and electric light
companies to put their wires under
ground. In Philadelphia the under
ground electrical couduits are working
successfully, and all companies not hav-
ing complied with the ordinance granting
them privileges have been notified that
their rights are null and void. The day
is not far distant when Omaha will follow
in the wake of the eastern cities and force
the wires under ground, and thus do
away with the unsightly and dangerous
street obstacles.
