THE MATCH BETWEEN MESSRS. BLACK
BCRNE AND ZUKERrOEr-

The second game, played on Friday. the 2oth
ult. was opened By Mr. Blackburne with his IA"
yuri1c Ruy Lopez, and occupied four hours and
forty five minutes- Zukertozt IN his defense VEN
tu..d upon new variation, which. huwcver. did
not seem to give him a satisfactory opening. On
tut other hand, Bluckburne had apparently not re-
covered his proper form, and conducted the attack
in u lousr manueE which transferred the initiative
To his opponent, who promptly took the game In
hand aud accumulated small advantages until the
opener was put on bis own 1efense. Nor can 1t be
fairly ra,d that Mr. Blackburne made the
noeL of his chances of resistance, for
he selected i mode OF defcuse which
allowed Mr.. Zukertort two open flea for
the rocks before i'lackburne had cas1aod Mr. Zu-
krrtort carried the counter attack in excellent
style and the twenty -hfth move found Blackburne
with piece behind against one pawn. In his
usual manner. the latter fought asuiEst hope for
long while after the gune. xas virtually over. but
could uul alter the Inevitable result

Skeleton of a Man Found.

On Saturday afternoon last, John
Wolfe, spike driver on the B. & O.
r. R., while in the neighborhood of
Otfutt's saw mill, about miles west
of Oakland, discovered the skeleton
of man about six feet high, lying
in dense thicket of laurel bushes,
about twenty yards from the road
leading from Oakland to Offutt's coal
mine, on the east side of Yough riv-
err. On his return to Oakland Mr..
Wolf notified Justice f. G. Hall,
who, on Monday, caused the Sheriff
to summon jury.
The jury, consisting of the follow
ing persons, John NJ. Read, Fore
man; w. NJ. Coddington, Thomas
Coddington, Chas. Sweeny, Thomas
j. Browning, J. R. Bishop, Ralph
Ashby, p. A. Chisholm, j. T. Brown
ing, n. B. Wayman, Scott Catlett,
and John w. Arnold, repaired to
the spot where the skeleton was w.
ing, and held an inquest. Judging
from the manner in which the skeless
ton was lying, being face downward,
and from a small hole in the breast
bone, the jury rendered verdict
that the said unknown man came to
his death by means of a bullet dis
charged from a revolver or rifle at
the hands of an unknown person.
The body doubtless had been lying
where it was found several years, as
the clothing and boots We're very
much decayed, and the flesh was en-
tirely stripped from the bones, a fire
having passed over them some time
since. Nothing was found on or
around the skeleton, which could
lead to its Identification. In one of
the pockets of the clothing were two
combs, match box, a box of salve,
and metal pipe stem. The bones
were brought to Oakland, and in
tered by Bailiff Chisholm.

GAINESVILLE, April 2

On Thursday night last, two burg
lars entered the house of Mr.. Chas.
Broadwater, and while one held a
revolver at Mr.. BIS head, the other
drew from under the bed chest in
which Mr.. B. kept his valuables, and
with an ak, provided for the occasion
broke it open. After ransacking its
contents for about five minutes, the
one remarked that he had what they
wanted. whereupon they left, firing
off their pistols as they left the
house. They secured about 2! pounds
of shot, a pack of old tax receipts, an
old pocket book and small box con-
tanning Mrs. BIS caps, having over
looked secret drawer in the chest in
which there was considerable
amount of money.
They, however, met with better
success on Saturday night, at Mr..
Elijah Bittingers, where they secured
about SIS in money and two suits of
clothes.
Our country friends had better pre-
pare themselves and give them re-
ception similar to that received by
the crowd that went to Bowser's, or
organize a vigilance committee.
We will not mention the pigs,
chickens, &C., for fear of shocking
the fastidious tastes of the dignified
editor of the Herald. We most SIN
cerely hope that the shock will not
prove fatal, as we wish to see the
REPUBLICAN advertisements contin-
ued.

The order is comparatively new in
our State, but largely represented in
many of the States. The membership
now number over Is, 900, with nea rly
600 lodge in over 30 different States.
The objects fraternally are similar to
the older kindred orders, though
the principles beneficially differ ma
terie'lly, inasmuch as it provides
$4,000 to the heirs of each of its de-
ceased members by system of as
sessments peculiar to the order, there

the life of each member very safely
and cheaply, Itsecures employment
for its members, provides for the

Temperance.

A very interesting Temperance
meeting was held on Thursday even
ing, March 20, in the M. E. Church.
1t was the regular monthly meeting
of the Band of Hope and although
all the meetings are very interesting,
this one was more so than usual, as
it was the occasion of the President,
Rev. DIR. Fullerton, bidding adieu
to the society. The programme of
the evening exercises was very en-
tertaining, consisting of music and
singing under the supervision of
Prof. Richardson, Essays by Miss
Lou A. Thayer and Mr.. Jno. Grant,
Defamation by Edward Sincell and
valedIctory address by the President.
The essays were on intemperance
and were very good, and the manner
in which the writers handled the
subject entities them to great credit.
The greatest attention however, was
directed to the parting address of
DIR. Fullerton who will be located at
Volcano, West Va, for the ensuing
year. He organized the Band of
Hope in 1875, and was at that time
elected President and has held the
position up to the present. He, with
the assistance of Rev. 0. G. Miller,
has done good work for the tenn
perance cause, taking great interest
in the Band of Hope and all temper
ance organizations, and through his
efforts the society has steadily adj
vanced and increased in membership
aud now numbers between 225 and
$50. The address was short, but con-
tanned much good advice and in
struction for the successful advance
ment of temperance. After the adj
dress several new names were en-
rolled as members of the society,
and Rev. Benz. Ison, the successor of
DR.. Fullerton as pastor of the NJ. E.
Church, was unanimously elected
President for the coming year. The
meeting was we'll attended by the
citizens of the town and vicinity,
and also by the lodge of |. O. G. T.,
which was represented by 80 or 40
members in regalia. This organiza-
ton has had many accessions to its
number of members lately, having
taken into the order about 20 persons
within the last month or so, with a
very good prospect for many more.
With these two organizations in our
town, the Temperance work has been
going on until at the present time
there is not much more than half as
much drunkenness to seen be on our
streets as there was year ago.

ALTAMONT, Md, March 7,'77,
ED. REPUBLICAN Mr.. sob
servern made a bad mistake in re-
porting the party we had in this vi
entity, as political party. He says
that the report of the victory over
the bulldozers and their Democratic
cO-Workers, &C., aroused the patriot
ism of the young Republicans of this
district to have grand Hayes and
Wheeler party. AS one of the inter-
ested l deny this assertion, as it was
plainly understood, that it should be
no political party. And ne says that
Republicans and Democrats, who
have been enemies since the election
met and joined hands in friendship.
Now | do not think there was one
enemy on either side unless he was
one, and | sincerely believe if he was
person of any principle he would
not allude to any such animosity. |
think, in reporting social party
like this, Mr.. observer" should
keep politics out Of it, and not be
trying to probe old sores. l hope
after this my friend "Observer" will
make his reports more correct and
leave politics out where politics is
not concerned, and let the past bury
the past. Yours, respectfully,

from the orders which they are re-
celving Oakland will soon assume its

to our property owners, as it goes a
great ways towards benefitting the

a cylindrical pipe, en- route for the

trip for the purpose of testing its
strength. Wondering why it was so
built. we learned that it had the

which means no sparks or cinders are
