planted early have fair crop, others poor.

Report of the Grand jury.


10 tie Honorable the Judges Of tie Circuii
Court for Montgomery County:
The Grand Jurors for the present term
beg leave to report that they have carefully
examined all the witnesses who have APP
peared before them. They have examined
one hundred and. tifty-six witnesses, have
found forty presentments, and dismissed
eighteen complaints.
The committee which visited the jail,
found the premises in good repair, but re-
port the sewerage defective
The premises at the alms-house are neat
and clean, and health of the inmates good.
Its inmates number thirty-two, of whom
twenty-four are colored. During the past
year there have been twelve deaths and
three births.
The sympathies of the Grand Jurors have
been enlisted in behalf of several parties
who have been held in confinement as wit
nesses for the State. Their liberty has been
restrained for several months, and we are
inclined to the belief that some compensa-
ton should be granted them for their lost
time.
AS we know of no other business requir-
ing our attention, we beg to be discharged

Death OF a G lifted Minister.-A LARGE

| Doatn OF gifted Mtnister.-A large
number of our readers will learn with pro-
found sorrow Of the death Of the Rev.
Leonidas Rosser Green, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, which occurred
at his late residence in Salem, Roanoke
county, Va, on Tuesday morning last.
Rev. MIR. Green was in the 33rd year of
his age, and was born and reared near
Fredericksburg, Va. OF his early lite we
are not familiar. He was stationed on this
circuit from March, 1877, to March, 1881, q
period of four years. During this time his
commanding talent and genial manner en-.
deared him to all with whom he became
associated. After his removal from this
county to new field of labor, he returned
and married Miss AddIe, eldest daughter of
DR.. E. E. Stonestreet.
Rev. Mr.. Green was regarded as one of
the most gifted and brilliant young minis.
tiers in his church. We had occasion our.
selves to hear him in one of his finest efforts
whilst on this circuit, and will always re-
member with thrilling pleasure the descrip.
ton OF storm which he witnessed on a
summers afternoon on one of the spurs of
the Blue Ridge Mountains. The picture
he drew was so natural and of such terrific
beauty that an artist could have caught and
chained tito the canvas. But"the silver chord
is loosened, the golden bowl is broken" and
they that look out of the windows are dark
ened. To-day it is life, with its gittering
trities, its busy cares, its choicest gifts; to.
morrow, death, the grave, eternity.
Death is terrible and relentless messen-
ger. Affections, the growth of years and of
the most hallowed nature associations and
friendships bound by the tenderest ties, all
are severed by a merciless stroke. In this
instance it struck down one who was en-
gagged in labor of love, aud the dark shadow
fell across hearthstone that was ringing
with the laughter of innocent childhood
and where the sunlight had ever played.
1t is not for US to disturb the silence and
sanctity of his sorrowing little household
through life every heart must bear its own
sorrow, its own precious memory, sane.
tuaried from the eye of curiosity, where the
voice OF sympathy cannot touch, and the
touch of healing cannot come. Still we try
as tenderly as we can to convey to the
stricken hearts Of those who mourn him
most our appreciation of his loss, but it
is to his devoted wife and his three little
children that our sympathy goes out in its
fullest aud deepest meaning, and with them
We mingle our sorrow over the sad event
which has deprived them OF husband and
father.
The remains of the deceased reached here
on Wednesday and were inferred yesterday
at the Rockville Cemetery.
