An Explanation.
CRowrowN. June 26th, Isl

CRowTowN. June 26th, 1876.
Mr. Editor You are aware that Biahber
tried in sort of an unsuspecting manner to
''show me up'' in your last weeks issue. l
do not know whether he meant to show me
up'' on the entire letter, or only on that part
which he quotes. BE says "That must have
been peculiar singing Listener describes in
last weeks paper lchere the chior sang 'coro-
nation to an appropriate and familiar tune"
Now, if he lad said aehen the choir sang coro-
nation, SC, would have understood him 10
have meant that the singing OF that particular
piece was peculiar but as he used the word
tchere, am not to understand that he meant
the entire singing and no particular piece
Guessing that his intention was to call the at
tenlion OF your readers, as well as my own,
to what he quotes, think il due myself, liz
explanation, to make the following quotation
from the original manuscript of which,
thought you had an exact copy. "Prof W.
advanced TO the front of the stage, and
nounced that the exercises of the evening
would be formally opened by the singing OF
coronation TO an appropriate and familiar
tune.' Excepting this, Mr.. Editor, you have
the original perbati1. | will not say the
fault was yours for this reason The manu-
script sent you for publication was copied
from the original by friend of mine and was
not overlooked by myself before sending to
you. LISTENER.
N. B. Tell Blabber that there is so much
slang in his writings thai the idea of being
drawn into newspaper correspondence with
him, is perfectly revolving 10 me, and that
shall, therefore, try to avoid the same.

copy of his communication and compared ii
with the article in our paper since its publica-
ton is well aware of the fact that the mistake
was not made in this office.
The Mohawk Valley IN. Y. } Democrat says ::
''W hat the country needs is man who has
dealt vigorous blows on the side of right; a
man who has not been afraid to grapple with
thieves; a man who has broad comprehen-
sive, statesmanlike views to lift us from the
slough of despond. The man is not Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, nor was he selected by Morton;
Conkling and Cameron for that purpose

FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS "A telegram has
been received from one of the officers attach
ed TO General Crooks command which states
that ii had a sharp fight with the Indians on
Rosebud creek, on the morning of the 18th
instant. The conflict lasted several hours !;
nine of our soldiers were killed and twenty
one wounded but the enemy were repulsed.
The dispatches say 1.-THE Indians made the
attack, and had a force they no doubt believ-
ed sufficient to whip this command" The
savages would not have ventured on such a
bold step if they had not possessed decided
numerical superiority and great confidence in
the improved arms with which they have been
bountifully supplied at the agencies. Their
audacity, however, will probably hasten the
completion of the campaign, as the chief anx-
iety of the commanders of the expeditions
operating against the savages has been TO pre-
vent their escape. The fact that General
Crooks forces could withstand the most des-
perate assault they were capable of making is
hopeful augury of the result when they are
hemmed in on all sides by the Gibbon and
Terry troops, and the Fifth cavalry, as well as
General Crooks immediate command. The
Sioux now on the war path richly deserve
drubbing; and il would be a matter for ma
tional rejoicing If the strenuous efforts our
brave troops are making were crowned with
complete success.

THE WESTERN HARVEST. The st. Louis
Republican of Thursday says 1.-THE harvest
began in Southern Missouri and Illinois two
weeks ago. and at this time the wheat fields
in these sections are fuzzy reaped without i'm
pediment from wet weather The grain is said
to be quite as good as last year, wien 1t was
above the average. The yellow harvest wave
has reached as high up as the latitude of st,
Louis, and reapers are busy in Illinois and
Missouri and far out in Kansas saving the
wheat The weather is favorable for harvest
work, and the supply of labor is generally
suflicien. for the purpose. In ten days more
all the wheat in this State and nearly all in
Illinois will have been reaped and shocked,
and it will be one of the largest and finest
crops ever gathered The other great staple,
corn, is nearly knee high in these two States,
and much of it has already had two plowings
II looks unusually thrifty and strong, and
promises good yield. Grass, too, looks un-
commonly we'll, and the hay crop will, If full
ly saved, be large. Altogether, the prospect
of year of cheap bread is as encouraging as
could be wished

Death Of Mrs. Alfred Spates.

On Friday morning at five minutes before
Colonel Spates, died at her residence on South
Mechanic street. in her forty-eighth year The
death of Mrs Spates was not unexpected to
her husband aud friends. On the 9th of last
January she was stricken down with conges-
ton of the brain, the same malady that
caused the death of her brother, DR.. Joseph T.
Getzendanner of Frostburg, and since then
her condition was at all times critical, so
much so that her husband was constrained to
keep constantly at her side, committing TO no
other hands than his own that careful nursing
she needed. The disease progressed steadily
worse, and on last Monday developed such
alarming symptoms that seemed only a mat
ter of a few days. From last Tuesday she
WAS unconscious.
Mrs Spates as also her husband though
the latter has resided here for 81 years, was
originally from Montgomery county. in this
State. From her earliest years until recently,
when she attended the Lutheran, she was
member of the Presby church, and ex-
emplified in her life rare christian grace
and sweetness o. disposition, being constant
and most sympathetic in her kindness to those
in sickness or distress. Not few will re-

Rea ding rtainment.

Upon the nights of Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week, were the iterati of
Rockville agreeably entertained until a late
hour each night at the elegantly furnished par
Tor of the Union Hotel, by Mr. II. G. Preuss
with his excellent elocutive readings and re-
sounding vocal and skillful instrumental per-
formances. The first night after the musical
performance, the invited assembly was treated
to the reading of ludicrous play on "Cod-
fish Aristocracy," in which various characters
were represented. During the recital of this
play continued litter was kept up in the
party by the readers mimicries which so well
"took Off the more foolish Goldfish" And

nature was truly perfected by the many
changes of voice and position that were ne

its natural tone every word was distinct. The
curt and grabbed lingaudental voice, the more
oratorical and gutteral voice, the amusing and
ventrloquous voice, could all apparently be
enacted by the reader without the slightest
exertion The second night was taken up with
the reading of Bulwer's play, THE Lady OF
Lyons'; the execution of which was highly
praised. Upon the last night the party was
treated 10 the reiteration Of some of the speak
er's own poetical compositions.
