In referring IN our last issue to the
fact that the amount received from
the recent exhibitions held in Frost
burg for the purpose Of enclosing the
grounds of the public school building
there seemed to be quite small, being
but 1886, which we did upon the
supposition that the amount in ques-
ton covered oil the funds received
for that purpose We learn from Mr..
R. R, Sanner, who had these exhibit
tons under his superintendent that
the 1886 refers only to the proceeds
of the last exhibition. Mr.. Sanner
further states that he expects in short
time to present the people of Frost
burg with statement of all the tinan
cial transactions with which he has had
to do in his connection with the pub
lie schools,-Allcganian.

no class in our midst have more 10 complain
of than the statesmen. From Monday morn
ing until Saturday evening, from January
until January, they average fifteen hours of
labor out of the twentyfour. Nine hours
left for sleep-none for recreation.
These men are Industrious and faithful in
the performance of duty, notwithstanding
the great tax upon their energy and time
With desires for rest like other men, they
constantly sacrifice them to what is mlsta-
kcnly regarded rs the employers interests
They Weld to a system which some feel Is
exhaustive of mental and physical power
and thus destructive of health.
We do not believe the merchants gcncr-
ally are so far cXacting as to require this
double expenditure at the hands of their
EMPLOYEES 1t is the effect of system car
ried to extreme, Oppressed themselves
with its operation, they forget that it is UNI
necessary and hurtful to others. Brought
to their attention in the proper spirit, We
feel confident they will entertain any rca-
SOnable Oilcr To close lncr stores carrier lpl
Il benefit which will be mutual.
Our view of the matter is, the movement
should this time start with the merchants
themselves An effort of this kind would
he gratefully appreciated by every salesman
in Frostburg Let some merchant, or MGR
chants, try to obtain general agreement to
close earlier 1t is q matter of fellowship,
of justice, of charity; let it he talked over
and disposed of as any affair of business
and we are greatly mistaken if the result is
not favorable to our estimate of mercantile
equity in Frcssburg.
But if the employers will not confer, let
the statesmen try it again. They have right
upon their side. Carpenters, masons, plas-
terers, miners, etc, are exempt from labor
after certain number Of hours in many
eases with less wages, why not statesmen?

BORDEN SHAFT, JUNE 12, 1873.
The Blenavon coal works, situated on
the line of Winebrenuer' run, about half a
mile north of Bowery Furnace, has the
promise of comfortable home for many of
our industrious miners Two drifts are now
opened only short distance. TIL coalal
ready mined is yet too close to the surface
to be merchantable.
The grade of the road leading from
Johnson's mine to the works will vary from
5: TO 81 feet per hundred. An inclined
plane about 700 feet long will be necessary
to convey the coal to the nearest point on
the road, the mines being situated on hill
on the east side.

Garrett County Coal.

\ correspondent of the Garrett
County Herald writes as follows con
corning coal
We were surprised to hear OF the
extent of the neglected coal field under
lying this section of the country, which
is separated from the George Creek
region by the Savage Mountains
During the oil excitement years ago,
a company composed of citizens sank
a we'll to the depth of some six humid
red feet on Shade creek, a tributary
of Castleman river, about one mile
west of Grantsville. At the depth of
one hundred and forty feet they pass
ed through fourteen foot vein Of coal,
and at two hundred feet another vein
of twelve feet. Some five or six mines
are now opened in the vicinity Of
Grantsyille, and all that is needed to
develop this vast area Of coal and make
fortunes for the land owners is to
bring it properly to the notice of for
eign capitalists. or for citizens to COM
binc in movement to raise the neces
sary capital to build u railroad from
Dale City to this point. a road bed
Is already graded as far as Salisbury,
only six miles distant; the wonder is
why the citizens have delayed the
matter so long. From here there is
remarkably easy grade for narrow
guage road through the Glades, via
MclIenry's up the Deer Creek Valley
to Deer park, Oakland or some other
point on the B. & O. R. r. This road,
together with the proposed narrow
guage road from Confluence up the
loughiogheny river to Oakland, would
develop the whole interior of Garrett
county, and prove in a very few years
that the richness and quantity Of our
mineral deposits surpass even those OF
Allegany county.

A "REMINISCENCES OF LANDsEER.-f
Landseer was quick in detecting fault in
another, it must also be allowed that he
was not slow to admit one in himself. The
following characteristic anecdote will IL
lustrate this trait: " A friend of the pres
ent writer accompanied him to the Ken.
sington Museum on the first occasion OF
exhibition by gaslight. He stopped short
before his large work, a Visit to Water
loo. L must have been mad he said,
6 when 1 painted that; and walking up
to the picture he placed his hand over the
part which had attracted his criticism. An
attendant policeman shouted his polite
caution. Now, then, take yer 'ands off
that there!' My good man. said Sir
Edwin, was merely remarking how bad
that was Then why don't you 60 and
do better said Bobby who had no idea
to whom he was speaking, and thereby
causing considerable merriment among the
artists friends. Quite right! quite
right. l should do better am ashamed
of it - returned Sir Edwin, half sadly,
and so in his pleasant manner he dlscov-
cred himself to the astonished guardian Of
the peace and pictures, who, of course,
collapsed. Sir Edwin had that picture
home and retouchcd it.-Sportrng Ga

SoALpED BY A SQUAw.-Tne following
incident of the recent battle between the
Sioux and Pouca indians at the inca
agency, is told by the Sioux City (loxal
Journal;
A Sioux brave had gained the shelter of
one of the buildings, from which position
he was enabled to fire at his foes from short
range. While he was standing just At the
corner of the building loading his gun,
Ponca squaw rushed from the house. and
before the Sioux could defend himself gave
him a slashing cut across the abdomen
with huge knife. As she struck him the
Sioux involuntarily bent forward, clasping
bis abdomen with both hands. and just at
that instant the squaw grabbed him by
the hair, and with savage stroke OF the
knife scaped him. Shaking her CORY
trophy aloft, and giving shrill cry of de-
fance, she darted back into the building
in safety, followed by dozen rife balls
from as many Sioux, who from a distance
saw the result of the sortie. The effect
was perfectly maddening upon the Sioux.
for to have one of their warriors scalped
by squaw was a disgrace which could
only be wiped out by the blood of the en-
tire band of Poncas. They rushed for the
buildings, but were met with fire which
laid many of them low, and the rest re-
tired to safe distance without having in
jured their foes. The act of the squaw
seemed to inspire the Poncas, and, fauut-
ing from window the scalp of the unfor-
tunate Sioux, they uttered yells of derision
and contempt which nearly drove the Sioux
frantic"

STRANGE DoINGs.-A house in Dunn
County, Wis. is haunted by ghost Of
queer proclivities According to report
er of the ST. Paul Pioneer, the family oc-
cupying the house is named Lynch, and
consists of husband and wife and three
children. The trouble commenced about
eight months ago, when household utensils
began to disappear, and various articles Of
raiment were cut and torn up.
The eldest son was accused of being the
mischief-maker. and severely punished, but
he maintained his innocence, and short
absence from home convinced his parents
that he was not the moving cause of their
distress. Matters became so serious that
an appeal was made to the neighbors for
their intervention but they regarded it as
some cunningly devised scheme to play on
their credulity, with a view to obtaining
money from them, and held aloof. At last,
however, two persons were induced to visit
the house and investigate. They took
with them some pieces of cloth, which
they placed in bureau drawer in an up
per room. Locking the drawer and the
