DEC. %, 1878.

DEC. ~, 1873.
DEAR JOURNAL Il had the privilege of
attending, last night, the second Lecture of
the NJ E. Church course, now in progress
here. 1t was delivered by Rev. S. V.
LEECH, of Cumberland. The first by DR..
REILEY, was appreciatively noticed by your
self. That of last night fully maintained
the expectations created on the announce
mcnt of the course, and so largely ncreas-
ed by the eloquencc of DIR. REILEY.
Mr. LEEcH had subject of thrilling in
terest just now, viz Cuba He was evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly prepared, and speaking
from simple skeleton notes he mas full. play
for the fine action and the popular style for
which he is so well known The audience
was larger than that of the previous occa~
sion, and judging from the breathlcss attcn-
ton, eliminating during the latter half of
the address in frequent and hearty applause,
was borne by the speaker into full sympa-
thy with the current of thought.
The early part of the Lecture was histor-
ical and descriptive. The latter half ex-
planned the struggle of the Cubans for indie
pcndencc, and touching on the Lopez and
Crittcnden expeditions, and the late Vir-
ginius affair. The peroration was a thrill
ing appeal in favor of the struggling poo
pie, based on the 'maniest destiny" idea
Thus far the course has been one of con-
siderable echa, with thoughtful audiences,
and of excellent size, without being large
Pccuniarily they pay but little. But there
is something better than ,money. This was
fully considered before the course was en-
tered upon.

The New County Movement
And Frostb urE's Relation

ThcrctO.--A writer in the Ne'cs has
the following to say of the subjects named
in the foregoing caption:
CUMBERLAND, DEC. 10, 1873
EDITOR NEws-Denr Sir $50 far as I
am aware the only portion of the would-be
new county moving in the matter is Frost
burg. l have read number of communi
cations in the Frostburg journal, in adyo-
cacy of the new county movement, and
they all appear to he written by citizens
of Frostburg, This is strange. If all the
portions of Allegany and Garrett indca-
ted in the plan of a new county are so de-
cidedly and so unanimously in favor of
the idea, why, oh, why should Jack Frost
burg mOnOpolize all the talk on the sub
jcct? Why not stand back occasionally
and give some of the other boys chance
" say something? Let us hear from John
Mount Savage. Lew L0nac0ning, Bob
Barton, Bill Westernport, Ed. Eckhart,
George Grantsville and Pompey Smash.
Let's us see if they all favor the formation
ola new county at great additional ex-
pcnse in buildings, county officers etc,
all for the benefit of Frostburg. Perhaps
the new county epidemic is raging only in
the "new county seat" district, and not so
extensively rs some would have us believe,
because il is rumorcd that good many
Frostburgcrs smell a real estate specula-
ton in the scheme. G.
A display of som-alliterative, preno-
patronymic prattle, which was doubtless
rcished by our own and ncighboring towns
"G." may have been designed for genius
but it stands for g0Jb,o sometimes with
equal force This is one of the times.
With reference to the last two sentences :
AS SAID before in this paper, enough
money can be saved in three years at the
present rate of taxation to erect crcdilable
public buildings, and these upon coal lands,
and in y community in every respect iden-
tilted with the interests of the entire sec
ton. As the case stands this surplus tax
alton goes to build public edifices in terri
tory outside of our limits, remote from our
people--to enhance other property values,
and to support County officers, fifty per
cent. of whom are of the same locality,
none of which or whom has any further
interest in the section than to get all they
can out of il and to keep it. 1t is the cut
ting off this surplus and expanding it with
in the section, or saving it to the pockets
of the people to whom it belongs, that
taints Cumberland atmosphere with a
smell that sayors of real estate dcprc-
citation.
Our people may depend infalibly upon
every Cumberland argument ag0|nSt the
New County Us a stronger one J"rlt

Fairs.-At the st. Michal's Church
Fair the success has been quite satisfactory
considering the tight times.
Close contests are pending between Miss
MAGGIE brennan, Of Frostburg, and Miss
MARY MILLER, of Eckhart, for a valuable
Set of China, and between Mr.. MARTIN
ByKNEs, of Eckhart, and Mr.. MORGAN
THOMAS, of Borden Shaft, for fine Sad
die.
The Y. NJ. c. A. and English Lutheran
Sunday Schools Fair commenced We'd
nesday evening in Paul's Hall. The success
so far is satisfactory. Among the attrac-
tons are fine Gold Watch and Chain, a
Chamber and Toilet Set, to be voted off
A feature of some interest presents itself
in the proposed award of Cane to "the
ugliest man in Frostburg."
At Mt. Pleasant Hall the Reformed Fair
closed Thursday evening after a satisfacto-
~ season.

Es iSIaEen.--lf that sore head re-
porter of the Nc1rs thinks he has dcmol-
ishcd the new county, or even diverted at
tenton from the essential object of obtain
ing it, by "carpct-bagging' Mr.. GROVE,
be is mistaken. 1t makes little difference
TO the people who takes the trouble to
work the project up and press it through,
just so we get the new county Adopting
the sentiment of Mr.. MAsoN's Circus" re-
mark at the meeting, we say if II carpet
Dagger can assist us in obtaining a new
county, let's have a pet-bagger. And
then, succeeding, he asks division of the
advantages accrlling from that success, it
would be nothing more or less than
right to accord It. In the event of favor
able issue it will be natural to remember those
also who discouraged the movement, espc-
cially when they come in for share of
distinction and profits no matter if they
arc native to the manor born"

1t was reported in Cumberland short
time since that there was 10 favorable feel

outside the JOURNAL Office That was
dcsignedly small way of estimating the
movement. However, we only regret that
the obstacles and opposition to it cannot be
confined to the newspaper establishments Of
Cumberland.

New COunty.-We commend to the
perusal of our readers the following sensi-
bic remarks, clipped from our intelligent
contemporary Garrett County Gazette: :
Our friends of Frostburg are earnestly
pushing forward their new county move
mcnt. n copy of the Frostburg JOURNAL
together with a circular and form of petit
tiosl On the subject, have reached us. We
rrfran Mt this time from noticing the ar
cuments used in the circular TO sustain the
writer's position but will simply suggest
to our friends of Frostburg that, in their
efforts 10 form a new county, they will
have to encounter the same opposition from
Cumberland that was met and overcome
in the formation Of Garrett county. The
Cirilinn and Dat(y Nc,cs were then greatly
exercised in preparing the minds of our
people for the dircfnl results TO follow the
division of Allegany county; and, inGccd,
it furnished a fine field for the display of
the peculiar talents of the latter The
present position of our friends of Frost
burg, however, has some advantages over
that occupied by lis of Garrett in the con-
test. They have u live newspaper in their
interest," we then had but Il twinkling
Star, which shed an uncertain light for
brief space, and then glitled from its orbit
and hSt us to fight our battle in the dark
If OFT friends of 'Frostburg county" are
stcadfast and true TO themselves if they
do not find themselves compelled to fight
traitors within, rs well as foes without
they may possibly succeed, though we
scarcely feel that We q Garrett county
owe them anything for efforts in our
struggles. Go on, gentlemen
of Frostburg VIC have not one word of
opposition to offer to your project. All
that NC shall stipulrse Tor is that you do
not take too much of our territory nor too
many ofou people away from as, for I'VE
are a happy little band and the idea Of
separation is grieyons to us"
