nine o'clock a. N. Here he found as

surrounding the old Frost mansion.
Arriving there after beautiful little
speech by Miss Laura Thrasher, Miss

dyed their loyalty by bowling before

G1tAcEing upon the green sward be-
nsa,s II? white blossoms Of the cherry
res, the ladies and gentlemen join
ed hands for a game Of drop hand
kerclief.' This and numerous other
games occupied the time. While we
are playing we observe a procession
cf boys and girls bearing willow bas-
ksts and vending their way toward

while Others are laying white table

Coming here ostensibly to rest, he has
preached three or four times every
dav except Saturdays and Mondays.
He is now leaving the city for a
brief season of rest" and engage
ments have been made by him to
preach all along the route; so it is
supposed that his recreation will not
erform wonders for him. If the
Christian Association of Cumberland
succeeds in bringing him to that city,
let none of the citizens of Frostburg
fail to go down to hear this remarka-
BILE man; it may be their last chance,
and to miss hearing Dwight L. Moody
is something to regret through a life
time.
The chances of Mr.. Matthews for
TIE Judgeship seem to be brighter
since our retiring Senator Whyte ap-
peared before the committee and
made a speech in his behalf. 1t is
understood, however, that the COM
mittee is not in favor of Mathews
confirmation, although more 80 now
than before. Delegations from here
are still Lammering away at the SEN
ate, and what they desire may be
done in order to get rid of these i'm
Fortunate visitors, as Maryland is
noted in Washington for the frequent
visits and pertinacity of its political
delegations.
The base ball season has opened
and quite number of games have
been played, but the Baltimore nine
seem as yet to require practice, as
they have won no games. The pro-
fessional mines from other c. les visit
here and play against our profession
ais, and in little while the Baltimore
nine returns the visit. The wages re-
ceived by these men are often quite
large and a good player finds nc
difficulty in procuring a position and
commanding large salary.

The Pompey Smash people are
vigorously opposed to the construction
of the new road contemplated through
their section to the Big Rock. The
Valley Times also antagonizes the re-
building of the "old pike" to the
"fve-mile house"
Owing to difference of statement
concerning these projects, it is hard o.
determine precisely who are right as
to the purposes Of the enterprises,
If they ale really and truly de-
signed to subserve the interests of the
public convenience and business ue-
velopment they ought to receive fair
consideration by the Commissioners.
If, on the other hand, they are de-
signed to promote the private con-
venience or interest of a few individu-
ais at the expense of the many, they
should be clicked out of court. y
Money expended upon roads as

THE sympathies Of the entire coun-
try have been awakened by the peri
lous and distressing situation OF the
seven miners entombed five days in a
caved mine near Wilkesbarre, Pa.
A gift of one hundred dollars each by
their employers was handsome Of
fering, though this was very small
compared with the arduous labor and
splendid heroism of those fellow
workmen who excavated a passage OF
twelve hundred feet through the earth
to rescue them. These are represent
atives of people whose daily work
involves courage of the highest type
but this gratuitous demonstration
sheds dazzling lustre upon the lofty
virtue.

A Mountain of Ice.

The Ice mountain OF Preston county, w. Va,
is great natural curiosity. We went TO RoWes-
past Vicksburg, and came out upon the north.
western pike. Following it two miles west we
came to the Ice mountain, situated on the right
hank OF Flag Run, one-half mile from the pike.
A picnic party was being held at the base of
the mountain. After refreshing ourselves with
very cold drink OF water from the Twin
springs, we assembled the side of the mountaia
for some distance and arrived at the Ice field.
1t Is claimed that the ice mountain was dis
covered by some soldiers In the spring of 1861.
It's discovery was afterwards reported again,
but persons supposed the discoverer was only
trying to hoax some one into making a frultless
trip to the mountain. No credence was given
to the story until lately, when responsible par
ties visited the locality. On the north side OF
the mountain tain about quarter Of an acre is
rock, none OF which are OF any consider
able size. All was covered with a heavy
mass OF moss, which now is all torn Off.
few small bushes. Removing the loose rock
Ice is discovered in small quantities. Their
mometer stood 80 degrees In the sun, so degrees
IN the shad ana 4s degrees when placed IN the
present In the crevfces, but no strong, freezing
currents, as reported. Hundreds have visited
It, The rocks are torn up, and the Ice is only
In the rocks. We suppose, from observation,
that the mountain is mostly vast heap Of
rock, portion OF whose west side Is more
nature OF this portion would admit through
It's moss covering a considerably anloo:.nt Of
water, which, inflltrating between the stone
would FORM Ice In just the manner we
find it. The ice thus formed would be pro-
tected from all external temperature by
the non conducting properties OF the vast SUR
rounding mass OF rock. The ice mountain, we
would suppose. !s nothing but huge natural
stone refrigerator. The common refrigerator
depends for its preservation of the ice upon the
good n-cOnductive materials OF its sides. SO

terial-which forms its sides. An ice mountain
similar In many respects to this one is In Hamp-
shire county, on the North river, few miles
east OF Romley. Divesting the Preston county
