Our clerical friend moved off alongside the
bountfully filled hamper of Mr.. and Mrs.
Godfrey Fazenbakcr and stood by it like
Casabianca on the burning deck whence

of celebrating the fourth was not materially
varied from in Frostburg. The Sunday
Schools of nearly all the Churches held pic

cakes sweetmcats, lemonades, pops, and
firecrackers were literally INDUCED. At
the Catholic and Reformed grounds plat
forms previously erected were throngcd
with dancers throughout the day.
The professions were large and imposing
all of Sunday schools, except the Catho-
lie, which was composed of the Parochial
school, st. Joscph's Beneficial and st,
Micllacl's Temperance Societies, led by
ltupp's new band
The inevitable fantasies" in Indian cos
tune and mounted, singlc-ti filed throughtown
in their visit to the several grounds Gre
. ating amusement everywhere.
Rev. Mr.. Ruhl read the Declaration of
Independence and made some remarks
thereon in the grove, and the Catholic pro
ccssion was halted in the shade of Mr. Alden
Clary's residence and trees, where Mr.. J.
