Rev. Frank Ill. Strother on Wednesday
following from the tcXt-Ecclesiastcs VII,
"A good name is better than precious
ointment; and the day of death than the
day of ones birth"
At the recent annual meeting of the
Consolidation Coal Company in New
y ork the following named gentlemen were
elected officers and directors for the cur
rent year
Prcsident-Allan Campbell.

VIM. WEitewright, .Jr., VIM. NJ. Evarts,
YIN. H. Nelson, George b. Warren Jr,

A very satisfactory report of operations
and a handsome financial exhibit were also
made.
Why is it that the Frosthurg JOURNAL
and the Lonaconing Press are so slow in
reaching lis Last weeks Press was one
day behind and the Journal has not come
to hand yet. Can they be SO mad at us AS
all that? II so we suppose we Will have
to send them a chrome or valentine
NG2cs
The JOURNAL never gets mad at us"
1t has never had cause, conspicuously none
in the recent tilt on dr." and "cr' The
absurd;ty Of the Ners' pretensions has at
forCled more ground for amusement than
anger, and we have fully awaited ourselves
of the risible opportunity. If the Ae1's
desires to prolong the dclectablc entertain
mcnt it is quite appropriate to vary the
comic exercises by tiinging its surplus
"chromos' and "valertines' t. the aud
icnce. And we shall still grow fat"
The Times announces the marriage of
Miss. Orpha Miller and Mr., James Clark,
of Homecoming, in Cumberland on Thurs
day. 1t says:
1t will be remembered that about a year
and a half ago Miss Miller was shot at Lo-
naconing by man named Coleman who it
seems she had refused to marry, telling him
that her old love for him had ceastsl, and
that in the future lIcr affection would be ion
his only riyal-whose name she assumed
yesterday.
The trial of Coleman is well remembered,
as also the subsequent probability Of his
ultimate success in obtaining her hand.
ArroINTMENT-From both the Times
and Nclrs we learn that r. ID. johnson,
Esq, of Cumberland, has received the APP
poinrnent of School Commissioner rjce
William Piatt, resigned 70 the Times
the appointment gives considerable salts
faction, though Mr. Johnson's aversion to
official position would seem to augur an
other clccinaton. We hope, however, he
will forcgo whatever indisposition he may
feel to accept the care of affairs sadly in
need of wise oversight And then, as the
position seems to belong to Cumberland
ANY how, let us be spared the anomaly of an
office begging the boon OF occupancy in a
city proud of the number, prominence and
diversity Of It's civic positions
Ii is rumored he~c that Mr. President
A. p. Gornlan intends to provide the canal
xtilh still further wharf facilities In Cum
berand. We hope he will not undertake
to get possession of our coal mines, rail
roads and canal boats. We judge the
canal offers him Il tield fully as large as
he is capable of working-Ctc0itn-
We hope ne will re able to work" the
upper end to Wcstcrnport. Then We will
all have opportunity to decide whether he
has capacity to take the possession of err
coal mines, railroads and canal ho;ts"
away from Cumberland.
The Georges Creeh Press now calls con
every citizen ON Georges Greek to make
an effort for the survey of the Savage river
route of the proposed canal extension
Nf7rs.
Quite a practical suggestion, IT'S pity
it is spoiled by the fact that the Savage
river route" has been surveyed-a fact you
could have learned also without copying"
exclusively A'trom the Ne,rs''
But, boys, you can do something hand
some by obtaining the funds for a new
county survey" Pitch in, and let us soc
the despots of the Allegany orient tremblc'
