BILL BODY'S BONES.
JAMES HUNT ASSERTS THAT THEY ARE STILL
WHERE THEY WE'RE BURIED IN 1859.

There has been considerable interest mani
tested in Bodie during the past week over the
finding of the remains of William Body, the
original discoverer of the gold deposits il
that district. The bones of the prospector
were taken up aud reburied with great honors
dead. 1t now comes to light that the bones
over which eloquent speeches were made and
studied editorials written, are not those OF
Body at all but some other man. no Que
| knows who.
JAMES HUNTS erATsMRNT.
Yesterday morning an APPEAL reporter
called on James Hunt, Of the Morton House
Mr.. Hunt is well known citizen of Carson
has been reliable business man here for
many years and as he helped bury Body, his
opinions are entitled to considerable weight.
When the reporter asked Mr.. Hunt if the
bones recently reburied at Bodie were the
bona fife remains of the old prospector, he said :
"They are not. helped bury William Body

WILLIE FIFs's FuNBRAL.-Willie Fife,
the boy who committed suicide on Wodnes-
day last, was buried yesterday afternoon
from the Presbyterian Church. Six of his
young friends acted as pail bearers, after
which came a sad procession of his scho OIL
mates on foot There were also about
twenty Carriages in line. The sight at the
grave was one which the spectators will not
soon forget. As the clods fell upon the
coffin, the companions Of HI, life tims
gathered about the spot with glistsning
eyes and swelling throats, to take a last look
and threw a few f,wecs upon the remains
of one, who few days hsfore, had shared

SOME ASTRONOMICAL REMARKS.

| There is scarcely an editor in Nevada who

such abdominal ability should excite the envy
of the dyspeptic, the half starved and the bill

Our appetite is rare physical status which
bespeaks temperance, morality and regular

their lower levels with Base Range whiskey,
or soaked their ivers in Gold Hill gin, cannot
well look forward to the wholesome enjoy
ment of square meals or wine at forty. Writ
ers. who in their infancy were allowed by in
competent and poorly paid nurses to cram
their gullet with half cooked dried-apple pies,
and badly preserved pears, must not expect at
a later period of life, to escape the tax which
nature has levied upon the folles of their
youth. Any man at thirty who has lived
spectacle existence, walked in the paths of god

Don't like The Express Arrange
ment.
FRosTBUR9, Jan. Is, 1879

Mr.. Editor The Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad company are
no doubt interested in the welfare of
the people living along the line, and
have established an express under
their own management 80 as to reduce
the treights below the charges recently
made, for which all should give the
company credit.
But the citizens of Frostburg are
not satisfied with the office at the
depot. When the office was up in
town business men could send to bank
without walking a half mile up and
down an incline sHg1tly less than
fortv-fvc degrees, to pay twenty live
or fl ty cents for the accommodation.
Again, il a package is sent or brought
from the depot by one Of the delivery
teams, an extra charge Of ten or Gf-
teen cents must be paid, besides rough
handling that nobody is responsible
for in case Of accident.
If a person is not too much pressed
for time, while at The depot he can
take the morning train, and for fifty
cents, with package in hand, can 80
to Cumberland and deliver it in any
part of the city, and if he has pack
age to bring back, he is quite as yell
off az if he had employed the express
company. TO so further, it would
pay somebody to purchase both a
trunk and communication ticket and
,nake a business of delivering pack
ages in Cumberland and Frostburg
He would be entitled to 100 pounds
of baggage, and could deliver during
the hours of stoppaAe. BUSINESS.

Church Fairs Again.
FRosTBURG, Jan. Is, 1879,

FRosTBURG, Jan. l6, 1879.
To the Editor of the Frostburg Jour-
nat Il, among many of your read
era, wonder why you failed to notice
editorially the communication OF
anti FAN" last week.
The request that you would use
your influence to break down the
nuisance was certainly courteously
made, and |, for one, will not Judge
you harshly for passing it by until
you shall have been heard from.
Restraint is a wholesome thing,
and no one can, l take il, question
the fact that churches all over the
land need considerable pressure now
adays, for the wall of complaint is
loud and long that the fair business
of the churches is not onl y unworthy
the followers of the great and good
Master, but positively sinful, demon
alizing, and debasing, aye, and even
sowing the seeds of eternal destruc-
ton broad cast among the people, par
ticularly the young of both sexes.
The stately journals of New York,
the great metropolis, characterize
the means used at church fairs there
as on level with the means used at
the regular gambling dens-decep-
ton and extortion, leading features.
Now if this is all right, let some one
defend the churches; if it is not right,
but on the other side all wrong, then
it surely is time to examine carefully
into the whole matter with view to
abolish that which has so little, or
nothing at all, to commend it to the
favor and good opinion of christian
men and women of all denominations.
