The history of general events for the

The money question attracts perhaps
more notice than any other. The unex-
pected course of gold which persists in
lowering about par, has caused much
surprise, and has induced several firms,
among them Stewards retail department,
to give out gold for change in large
quantities.
Tweed's family are now engaged in a
legal dispute with local life insurance
company over the payment of an endow-
ment policy on his life. which the CON-
pany claims to have been rendered void
by his running away to Spain against
the provisions of the policy. The point
is novel one, and its decision will form
an important precedent. Another inter.
esting case in progress is the Legislative
investigation of our State Insurance
Commissioner Smyth, which is turning
up an immense amount of information
and at present looks rather badly fol
the official named.

that good crops can be raised yearly, if

A train over the Vermont Valley road
came near meeting with fatal accident
last week Monday night. when near
Dummerston. A great mass of rock
fell upon the track near sharp curve,
covering the inside rail for a distance
of 80 or 40 feet. On the side opposite
the rock is an embankment of 40 feet,
aud at its foot is the river, which at
this point is of great depth. The en-
gineer at once reversed the machine. but
it was too late, and the locomotive struck
the rock and crowded it to one side, the
inside drivers mounting and running
over a portion of it, lifting the machine
at least foot high on that side, but
coming down safely on the rails. and
taking the whole train with it, entirely
past the obstruction, without so much
as one wheel being thrown from the
track. The train was stopped by the
air brakes when about 200 feet beyond
the rock. and it was found that the only
injury sustained was the breaking of The
parallel rods of the engine and the tear
ing off the steps of the cars where the,

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from Salisbury, Pa

SALISBURY, Pa, Aug. Is, 1878.
Mr. Editor After enjoying tn
fresh mountain air Of this town owe
4 year, we are able to inform the goot
people Of Frostburg when and where
they can spend a day of pleasure.
On the 23d inst, the German Re-
formed congregation, of this place,
will unite Win New Germany, Grants
Wilt and St. Psuls congregations in
holding a Harvest Home Pic Mic
between Stone house and Salisbury,
near Mr.. Boucher's farm, about two
miles from the National Road. 1t
promises to be a grand affair. The
Salisbury Cornet Band will furnish
music for the occasion.
The people of our neighboring
town of Meyersdale, having given a
tournament that was tournament,
are gong to give another tournament
and Harvest Home pic mic on the
I'D inst. This is to be the grand
est Of all that ever came off in that
section of the country, according to
the promises given by the committee
of arrangements. As general thing
those young fellows over there have
more enterprise than Western real
estate dealer.

remarks introduced the Doctor. The
Doctor took tie stand and spoke to
large audience, numbering about five
hundred. Hisspeech, occupying about
q hours, was kindly and attentively
listened to. At the conclusion res
olution was read and adopted strongly
condemning the action of the school

The Barton Difficulty.
BARTON, August II, 1873

BARTON, August II, 1878.
Mr.. Editor Il suppose you have
been acquainted with the difficulty
that has been in existence for the last
ten weeks between Potomac miners
and George Lyons, the superintend-
emit. l think it only right that you
and the public should be informed
that the mine has resumed work and
the difficulty apparently settled. The
busin ess transactions of this commun-
ity have been almost at stand still,
owing to the unemployment Of near
ly one thousand miners, not includ-
ing laborers, Some persons may
censure these miners for their actions,
but we feel assured that if the public
knew the ground work Of our griev-
ences (Which we do mot want to re-
peat in the press at presently they
would say "amen" TO all of our pro-
| ceedings, and only wonder at this not
! oc nur-ing before.
These miners called meeting on
| the 9th inst, and took into considera-
| ton the interests of the community
and the condition of a great many Of
heir own number. During theil
meeting they were informed by some
Of tue men that had an interview
with Mr.. Lyons, that he would take
eighty-Gve, and perhaps two or three
more of his old miners back, and sale
he was sorry that he could not take
them all. We knew then by the
| number of men we had that there
could not be many left out if Mr.
| Lyons would comply with his promise
| On Friday, the 9th, the miners Wen
to Mr.. Lyons in a body and informed
| him that they were willing to go tx
| work, provided he would give tn.
names OF those he said the company
would not employ, for us to ascertain
| if they were willing to withdraw from
| the rest. This he did, resulting il
| the victims Withdrawing.
| We must say here that it was very
much against the senti-ents Of the
men to go in, lec,Ing part out, but
the understanding is that the men
! wnio are working will support those
| who are out, which we feel assured
will be done with all willingness.
You can use my name.
remain yours,

A PLASTIC SURGICAL OPERATION,
Yesterday, DR.. w. F. Fundenberg,
the well known ocuiist and aurist, OF
this city, assisted by DIS. G. B. Fun
Ienberg and Parsons, performed &
very delicate operation upon Mr.. We.
Mullen, age 60, who has been resi-
dent of this city for many years.
About year ago he noticed small
sore upon dis cheek near the lower
eye-lid, which gradually increased i'll
size in spite of ali treatment. Upon
examination, it was found to be can
GER, and was rapidly encroaching up
on the eyeid and nose. An opera
ton was called for at once, otherwise
death would surely ensue. The pa
tieut was etherized and piece Of flesh
three inches long by one inch in width
together with the tumor, was remov-
ed and another piece exactly the same
length, breadth and shape was taken
from the temple and cheek and nice
ly fitted in the wound. In order to
do this forty stitches were necessary,
the wound in the temple being
brought together by additional stitch
es. There will be but slight dis6g-
urelnent by this novel operation. The
doctor has every reason to believe
that there can be no return of this
truely terrible disease after hav-
ing been so very thoroughly removed.

BOTH S1DEs.-Dr. Getzendanner's
statement is altogether his own. Mem
tally he had no aid and needed none.
The Civilian was not 30 red-hot af-
ter all. The next time we advertise
a caloric issue Of any paper, it will be
on evidence a1aunde the School Board.
The JOURNAL went last week like
FIVE hundred hot cakes outside Of reg
ular edition. Everybody ought to
take the JOURNAL regularly, and not
wait for revival seasons.
Somebody said he'd "bet that some
body had bought up all the papers in
the county Another chap said
"well, he hasn't bought this one"
This one" felt its exchequer to see if
anybody had bribed it surreptitious-
Iy. The exchequer was as lean as a
diagram of the new summer hotel.
Saturday night last the Arlon and
st. Joseph Cornet Bands serenaded
Dr.. Getzendanner at his residence.
The doctor acknowledged the demon
stration in speech Of over two hours,
in which he elaborated the points set
| forth in his printed statment. A
large and attentive crowd was also
present.
Many people think we should have
published last week both sides of the
School Board trouble. We might
| have done so but for two reasons, o.
it was very late in the week when the
| first side came out; it was later VIII en-
the last developed itself, and (2) it is
impossible to crowd two gallons IL
a one-gallon Jug without a morta
strain on the jug. However, we copy
elsewhere this week the Ctulllaa'S &C
count Of the trial.
| DR.. Getzendapner has appealed
from the late decision Of the schoo
commissioners, expelling him from
| the board, to the State board of edu
cation, the duty of whom it is to set
tie all disputes arising under tn
| school law.
| DR.. G. has declined to speak a
other places in the county, on accoun
Of professional engagements.

, a summer hotel excited q little talk
; just q little-but some Of it SCENE

The REVIVAL OF COMMERCE AND
TRADE, says the Philadelphia North
american, is indicated by the increas-
ed orders for rolling stock on rail-
roads that have been received by the
leading manufacturers. At no time
since the panic have the orders for
locomotives and cars been more num-
erous, and it is evident that there
will be a greater increase in the roll
ing stock Of old railroads in this
country during the present year than
ever before. This is not a sign of in
creased activity in railroad extensions,
but of development of business on es-
tablished lines of communication
which is due only to the greater
amount of traffic that is offered.
