The Railroad Hotels,

Since the trains are now running
on time on the B. & O. r. r., and
the Company has lowered its rates
at the Oakland and Deer Park Ho-
tells, we may reasonably expect a
larger number of visitors at these de-
servedly popular mountain resorts.
The managers, Messrs. Lambert OF
the Oakland, and Sykes of the Deer
Park, are well known and popular
caterers, and all of their assistants are
gentlemen. We hope and believe
that during the remainder of the sea-
son the hotels will be filled to their
utmost capacity.

The Express Company.

The managers of the Adams EX-

After protracted consultation and
failing to agree on satisfactory terms
Messrs. Gather and Hoey notified
Mr.. King that on and after Tuesday
their contract with the Baltimoreand
Ohio railroad and its branches would
terminate and not be renewed. This
step on the part of the express COM
pany, it is said, has been determined
upon after long deliberation. The
disagreement was in regard to the
rates charged by the railroad COM
pany for the transportation of express
goods, which the express company
regarded as extraordinary. The ex-

many weeks past this section of out

a severe drouth which has caused
much apprehension in the minds Of
tAesresidents, as forest and prairie

have destroyed a great deal of valu-
able timber, reached their height in
whirlwind offlame few miles

The Garrett County Posse.

On Saturday last Sheriff Durham
was notified Ivy proclamation of the
Governor to summon enough men to
preserve the peace in the limits of
Garrett. Acting under these instruc-
tions the sheriff Saturday evening
and Sunday morning summoned
about twenty-five men, and ordered
them to be in readiness to proceed
to any part of the county in case Of a
disturbance of the peace. The Sher-
if, Sunday accompanied by twelve
deputies made a tour of observation
along the line of the B. & O. r. r.,
between Oakland and Bloomington :;
and finding all quiet, r. prned to
Oakland on the West bound mail the
same evening. On Monday evening
he took about a dozen men and pIac-
ed them at the railroad bridge
across the Yough, one mile west of
Oakland, where they remained until
the first east bound freight train pass
ed over, about 9 O'Clock, when they
returned to Oakland, and have not
been called on for service since.
The dispatch sent from Deer Park
to the Baltimore San dated Sunday
evening, stating that the Sheriff of
Garrett county had two hundred and
fifty men, fully armed, on the line of
the road in this county, was the in

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

II
Arrangements are now being made
to hold another fair at the Fair
Grounds some time in the coming
October. Several gentlemen have
consented to contribute largely tC
the amount to be collected in the
town, which is about $500. The fair
will be conducted on the same plan
as the preceding ones have been, and
there seems to be every indication OF
its success. Institutions of this kind
are always conducive to the happi-
ness and progress of people, and
we do not see why they should be
less beneficial to the inhabitants of
Allegany county than elsewhere.
THE BATTALION.
Companies A an B of the Ninth
regiment were organized yesterday
with a strength each of 46 men.
In Company A, j. f. Harrison,

In the meantime Mr.. Jacob Geo.

Neither of these gentlemen have any
