The following circuiar has been issued from brigade headquarters: “Mifle range practiee at 500 and 600 yards will be omitted from the practice for this year. Under this modification of the prescribed course the annual reports of the year's prac- tice and the classification will be made from the gallery practice already done and from two full scores on the range at 200 and 300 yards he rifle range at Washington barracks will be open daily from October 1 to October 15 from 1 o'clock p.m. until 5:30 p. m. and an in- spector of rifle practice will be in attendance each day. All men of the first and second reg- iments, first separate company and engineer corps who have not completed two fall scores ‘at 200 and 300 yards on the range can attend on any day during the dates named and com- plete them. Any men who have fired the pre- seribed two full scores at 200 and 300 yards and failed to make scores qualifying them as marksmen will bo permitted on sny day during the dates named to fire as many additic scores as they may desire by paying to the in- spector of rifle praetice on duty 2 cents for each round of ammunition fired and the best scores made by them will be certified as their oiticial score for the year's practice. nder the modifications herein made for the year's practice no man could qualify for higher grade than merkeman.

First minister of the Church of England, later » pro- nounced skeptic, Dr. Sexton is now the pastor of a Presbyterian church at Dunkirk, N. Y. He was educated at Oxford and later in Germany, and was ordained at the age of twenty-one. He became a skeptic, however, soon and re- signed his pastorate to begin the study of medi- cine. Five years were devoted to this and ten more to the practice of the profession, when a series of misfortunes led Dr. Sexton to @ recon- sideration of the faith he had abjured. that day, in 1870, he resumed the ministry, and ight years ago he came to America. Dr. Sex- ton is a member of the best known of English scientific societies and held the professorship of natural philosophy in the University of Naples for some years.

After the organization of Montgomery county in the year 1776, and the selection of Rockville as the county seat, the first court held in the place wasat the house of Leonard Davis, known as the Hungerford Tavern, and which house is still standing and occupied by Miss Mary Rus- sell, sister to Pay Director Alex. Russell and Commander John H. Russell, U. 8.N. This house is well known as the oldest building in the town. A short time after the above datea court house was erected which was used for a number of years until supplanted by the build- ing which was demolished about fifteen months goto make room for the present impgsing structure, which will be entirely completed in a fow days. The new building hes a frontage of 59 feet with a depth of 102 feet and is surmounted by a tower 96 feet in height. The building is of belek: with brown, stone sill end lin ~ and rs upon ® foundation lontgomery granite, 6 feet high, in front aud 15 feet in the rear. The approach to the building in front is by way of massive Woodstock granite steps leading to K wide portico with double doors. ‘The entire building is covered with slate with copper cornices and spouting. In the recr of the basement are two roomy and well-lighted office rooms and the balance of the same is oc- eupied by the Smead heating and ventilating apparatus, consisting of five large furnaces and the necessary pipes, sinks, &c., and in ad- Hition two large coal cellars. ‘The first floor of the building, the east side ‘of which is constructed entirely of iron, brick, cement and terra cotte tile, is entirely fire- proof and contains rooms for the clerk of the circuit court, register of wills, the orphans’ court, county treasurer, commissioners, sheriff and a fury room. There are also front and side stairways leading to the court room above. ‘On the second floor are situated rooms for the school board, state's attori judge's consult- ing room, apartment for female witnesses and etit Jury room. Upon tht floor is also ‘in court room—b0x60 feet—with vaulted ceil- ing twenty-four feet high and lighted by two immense stained glass windows. The judge's Dench, clerk's desk and seats are all of ash, finished in hard oil, and present a neat and rich appearance. The desks and tables for attor- ueys and chairs for jurors and officers of the court have not yet been put in position. Sev- eral gentlemen of extensive travel through the several counties pronounce it the finest court room in the state. From the second floor to the tower an elevator hus been put in to carry record books:to a fireproof room in the same. The halls and stairways in the building are made of iron and cement, and ail of the rooms are provided with closets and embellished with mantels of Tennessee marble. ‘The wood work trimmings of the rooms and halls are all of ash, neatly finished in hard oil by L. B. Nicholson, who had the contract for the painting of the entire building. The building is situated on an eminence and from the tower a fine view of the surrounding country can be obtained, and on a clear day fully one-third of the Washington monument is plainly visible. The entire building presents & fine appearance and is quite an ornament to the town and a credit to the county. Mr. Frank E. Davis of Baltimore was the architect of the building, the contractor for building the same being Mr. Thomas P. Johns ofthe same city. ‘he entire work, from the excavation for the foundation to the comple- tion of the building, has been under the per- sonal supervision of Mr. James T. Layfield of Baltimore and the is of such a char- acter a8 to reflect credit upon all engaged in it. The subcontractors for the several classes of work were: Mesers. H. I. Gregory, Washington, D. C., heating and ventilating ap- atus; A. R. Walton, Pennsylvania, cut wn stone; Morgan Thomas, Washington, D. tate roof and copper work: Alex -Dav Baltimare, masonry work; Washington Granite Company, cut granite. The building commit- tee named in tle law authorizing the consttuc- tion of the house were Dr. Charles J. Maddox, Col. James A. Boyd, Samuel 8. Hayes, J. H. Bogley and Allen Farquhar. Mr, Edward Beale, ¢ farmer residing in i # Grove, this county, rhaps fatally injured afew days ago bj tn idfariaged bull? Wotle croming © field on hie place late in the evening he way suddenly attacked by the animal, and before he bad a chance to defend himself or make his escape was thrown to the ground and so badly gored by the animal as to render him unconscious for some time. When he regained his senses he again attempted to make his escape, but was again attacked and other wounds inflicted. At last he managed to crawl to an adjoining fence ‘and with great effort climbed over the same, when he again unconscious. In this condition he was found about 10 o'clock at night by members of his family, removed to his home and medical aid summoned. It was found that several of his ribs had been broken, his head and body were almost a solid mass of shastly wounds, and it is also feared that he is badly injured in . , Efforts to restore him to consciousness were finally successful, when he gave an account of how the affair hay ned. At latest accounts there were but slight \opes of his recovery. Vhat came near proving a fatal accident oc- curred here yesterday afternoon near the rail- road station. An east-bound express train, running at a high rate of speed, collided with a wagon loaded with stone at the crossing of Baltimore street with the railroad, knocking the rear end of the wagon to pieces, but not injuring’ the horses or driver. charge of Mr. Uriah Rickets, who was walking beside the same, and when he saw the train was upou him he struck the horses with a whip and lenped off the track in time to save his life. ‘The safety gates at the crossing were up, and it is claimed by several persons who were near the track at the time that the engine man tailed to sound his whistle at the usual place and that he gave no warning until nearly op- posite the depot and within a few yards of the crossing. An investigation of the affair will be made by the railroad company. ‘The contract for building a new flor mill at Gaithersburg has been awarded to Mr. E. M.
