we do not grow fat.
THE sidewalks in some portions OF the
"burncd district are entirely gone ana
worse walking thar ever is the conse-
ouencc We hope the Council Will not
forget to consider the usual remedy in such
cases.
RAYN.-For several days during the
week steady rain has fallen. Rebuilding
operations have thus been retarded, trying
the patience of carpenters and damping the
enterprise of the projectors. But good
rain isn't near as bad as big fire.
A Mass MEETING of the citizens OF
Frostburg will be held in the lower room
of Odd Fellows Building, Thursday evening,
next, cath inst, when the Committee on
Organization of the Fire Department will
report. Every citizen is urged to attend.
MISUNDERSTANDING the postal APP
pointments for last week was the following
Mail Nessenger-Frostburg, Maryland,
from railroad to post-otfice. From Sep
TENDER list, 1874, John l.. Porter is drsiS-
mated as mail messenger, service rs often as
required at $240 per annum.
THE Fire Protection Committee couldn't
gather quorum to appear before the Coun-
Gil Thursday evening, and the Councl
could do nothing definitely because the
Treasurer was absent business is bust
ness" and many people will attend to 1t II
they have to neglect other no less important
duties.
OMIssIoN.-In our report last week OF
the fire we omitted stating that {. Lynch,
ESD. of the Frostburg Hotel, also very hos
pitably entertained large number OF the
Cumberland firemcn. This fact did not
reach us until after the issue of our paper,
else We would have been glad to mention
il to Mr.. LIS credit.
WITH 10 hall for public gatherings the
streets furnish the best accommodations for
the delivery of political speeches this fall.
As the weather grows cooler these accom-
ln0tlatiOns become more uncomfortable.
1t is advisable for the interests of both par
ties, therefore, that Frostburg obtains early
appointments The ball can afford to stop
rolling in the warmer latitude of Cumbtr-
land.
