Beall have reared home which is de-
servedly pride to themselves and an
ornament to the town. We hope that
for many years yet it will bless their
growing age with warmth, comfort and
rest
HIGH TIMES AT OLD PoMPEY.-The
spring time having come, the grass hav-
ing grown and flowers bloomed, GER
tain divers animosities, locked in the
breasts of numerous citizens, have also
loosened with the frost and broken out
freshly and full of vernal instincts. The
recurrence of pay day, too, at Pompey
Smash, assisted largely in the revival
of smothered antagonisms, and last
Saturday and Monday the "pent-up
Utica" broke bounds and the manly
art of self-defence" for while ruled
the roost." The inhabitants say Pom
pey was excited from orient to occi-
dent-from the aurora borealis to the
southern cross, and from zenith to
nadir. The troops fought nobly-by
single file and platoon marching and
counter-marching, and various evolu-
tons to deceive the enemy were resort
ed to; in fact, all the insignia of war
foated over Pompey. However, no
bones bleach on the declivities it is
said, also, the wounded helped them
selves bravely homeward. We are
glad to say that peace, sweet peace,
once more spread her meek wings over
Pompey, albeit, it is not sure the great
questions of individual rights and
privileges involved in the late contests
are definitely settled. The tenure Of
amity may be broken and the arbitra-
ton of the fist invoked at any time
to spread horrid carnage over fair
Pompey on the Dan.
The STAR ALL1ANcE.-The audi
ence at Pauls Opera House, Thursday
evening, was not so large as the plays
deserved. "Lucca's Farewell and
Cub" were given with great spirit,
the principal characters being person
ated by Fay Templeton, Alice Vane
and John Templeton, whose efforts
were well supported by several other
members Of the company. Little
Fay" the bright particular star,
was warmly greeted. The lapse of
five years since she was last here has
added to her stature and vivacity.-
She will always be welcome in Frost
burg.
The company will give a grand
Matinee this Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock, when Fay will appear in
Parepa Rosa. Loves Follies" will
also be given.
Tonight the performance will be-
gin with Cali the Fashion, or Waking
the Town. and vii be succeeded by
The Irish Doctor and end with "a
Day Among the Miners" Let the
company have full house.
The English Lutheran churchyard
has undergone some tasty improve
ments recently. The pastor, with the
aid of several members of his congre-
cation, has sodded the entire yard,
made flower beds and otherwise beau
tilted the premises. This is valua-
Bile prperty, situated in an excellent
neighborhood, Its early and COM
plete restoration from the ravages of
| fire will be occasion for exultation on
the part Of its numerous constituency.
The semi-occasional process Of mac
adamizing the streets seems to be
more substantial this time than usual.
Under the supervision Of Mr..
James Jones it is bound to go on
right. He understands how it ought
to done besides which he handles
sledge, and in a way which shows he is
not afraid of breaking rock.
SPRING has put its loveliest robe of
fresh green upon forests and meadows.
The birds twitter in the thickening
foliage over the glad aspect which
Nature throws over all it's realm at
their favorite season. Everything
seems new and cheerfully prospective
except new county. Which isquite
joyful to certain new paper.
