The lectures by Rev. DR.. DeHass
in the M. E. Church Monday and
Tuesday evenings, were we'll receiv-
ed by large audiences. He related
many strange features of Oriental
life and scenery in most attractive
style. With voice of great melody
and an immense fund of information
he is an eloquent and entertaining
speaker. His sermons on Sunday
were especially appreciated by many
both in and outside of his denomina-
ton, and he left a large array of ad-
mirers in Frostburg.

A Don Who Ioked..

1t happened in Indiana. Amman who
was surveying in the woods, thinking
to have some fun with his dog, who was
lying near him asleep, gave shout and
jump into the thicket, as if all the
game ever protected by the game laws
was dashing through the bushes. Tiger
came bounding and barking to the fray
and soon detecting the trick that was
played upon him, sneaked back to his
lair and lay down again. The surveyor
resumed his duties, and was hard at
work for two or three heuIs, when all at
once the dog rose from his sleep, set his
ears and eyes in the direction of the
wood, gave bark and made.a rush for
the forest detphs. The surveyor follow
ed the noble brute to tree up which he
was barking, and began to scan the
boughs for the hiding game. Tiger gave
a satisfied "Ah woohl" bestowed .
glance of contempb at the surveyor and
striking dignife6gait, stalked back to
his couch with the appearance Of dog
that had squared up all accounts.

A Smart Family.

The other merning citizen called at
hardware stoTs-on Woodward avenue
and said he wanted key to certain
door in his hoase, and he took up and
carried away almost the first key hand
ed out to hin. On his way down town
after diner he stopped and exchanged
the key for another, explained that the
first wouldn't fit. These changes took
place twice day for the next four days
the citizen being unable TO get key
that would fit. On the sixth day he
drove up to the store with door on a
dray, and calling to the proprietor he
said:
Rzipg your box OF keys out here and
we'll get fit to that lock. Here have
been running back and forth for about
week, and might not have got fit for
whole month If my wife had not sug-
gested that bring the door down here.
Some Of these women are mighty smart.
"But why didn'tyou take the lock off
and bring it down in your pocket ?"
The buyer looked at him In vacant
way, stared hard at the door and sat
down on the curbstone with the remark:
g It's wonder the whole family was
not sent to the fool-house 10 wears ago. -

Western Tornadoes.

ST.. Louis, November 11.--Mail ad-
vices from the interior of the State say
tornado destroyed the railroad depot
and two OF three other buildings at
Pageville ON Saturday, and General Joe
Shelby and s. Shannon, who were in
one house when torn down, were injur-
ed, the latter fatally, and two or three
others slightly hurt. The town of
Strasburg was also visited by the storm,
and one church and three buildings were
swept entirely away and four stores,
three dwellings and blacksmith shop
were leveled to the ground. Several
persons were injured, none seriously
The towns of Fairview, Odessa and
Dover also received slight injuries from
the passing winds.
ST. Louis, November IL. - Advices
from Northwestern Arkansas say that a
tornado passed through part of Craw-
ford Co. last Saturday, destroying near
ly everything in its course, killing sew
eral persons and wounding others. No
names of the killed are given. The
storm seems to be the same one that
struck several towns in this State the
same day.
The track of the storm was about
half mile wide, and the centre near
the National dam, Crawford county. 1t
made clean sweep of everything in its
path. One house was lifted out of sight
and nothing was left of it. John New
ton was killed by house falling on
him. The storm at Van Buren, was ac-
companied by hail. Stones were found
in the streets two by three inches in di-
mensions.

Raber, after being out all night, came
into court, looking haggard over their
long confinement. On being asked by
Judge Henderson whether they had

swered Yes, and said 'Not guilty" The
court room was crowded during the
scene, and the verdict was received with
with much dissatisfaction, the general
opinion being that Zechman was as
much guilty as any of the others. The
two who are yet to be tried feel much
encouraged over the verdict.

verdigris on Pin Nearly Takes a Mans
Life.


The Baltimore 7" News7 says: Louis
Wolf, a young man employed in the
drug store of Messrs. Duble & Cornell,
Williamsport, Pa, and whose parents
reside at SO Leadenhill street, in this
city, met with serious accident on the
28th ult. He scratched himself, acciden-
tally, on the right wrist with pin, and
it is supposed verdigris had collected on
the pin. The poison pervaded the whole
system, and he awakened early the next
morning by severe pain in his arm and
fever.
Wolf sleeps in the store alone, and con-
sequently had to wait until about 8 A.
M. before he could see physician. DIR.
Detwiler was Immediately summoned,
and Wolf was conveyed to his board
ing-house. He received the best atten-
tion, but for some time grew worse, and
it was thought he could not recover
For two days he was under the influ-
ence of morphia, and was SO weak he
could not swallow any food. Beef tea
was administered to him by the physi-
clan, and on the 3Oth showed signs of
recovery. On Sunday last he was able
to attend church, and is now fully re-
covered.

Graves were dug at Bloomfield and Mt.

forcibly transferred from one coffin to
another in the street and the burial pro-
ceeded at Bloomfield without further
difficulty. 1t will probably be necessary

Col. 7. A. Myer, of Richland, Stewart
county, Ga, accidentally shot himself
lately in rather singular manner. He
had set gun for some one who had, a
short time before, entered and robbed
his store, and ON the night in question,
having forgotten the circumstance, he
entered the store hurriedly and discharg-
ed the gun, receiving the contents of
both barrels In his back. Fortunately
the gun was loaded with squirrel shot,
otherwise the accident would have most
likely been fatal

Is It a Swindle2

For several weeks we have published
an advertisement of the Denver Land
Company. We would not willingly ad-
vertise swindle, but received this ad-
vertisement from regular agent, and
were paid promptly in advance for its
insertion. Upon this subject Denver,
Colorado, dispatch says:
Sidney A. Grant, of Cincinnati, and
A. +. Wilson were arrested ON Saturday
for conducting a fraudulent scheme
through the mails, under the name of
the Denver Land Company" They
were taken before United States Com
missioner and committed having waived
an examination and having as vet given
no bonds, they will probably go to Jail.
The swindle was planned in Cincinnati.
Stereotype plates were prepared, which
have already been inserted in over eight
hundred first-class newspapers and peri
odicals in the Northern, Eastern and
Middle States. Grant came to Denver to
secure land for the purpose, and bought
1000 acres in Sand Hills, 40 miles North
of Denver, in another county, which
was recorded as North Denver. Although
Grant was here but eight days, a perfect
avalanche of letters have come through
the mails for S. A. Grant and the Den
ver Land Company. The fraud was ex-
posed by the local newspapers and Bit
terly denounced by the citizens. The
postmaster reported the swindle to the
Department and Friday night received
orders to deliver no registered letters and
pay no money orders to Grant. The
arrest was made by Special Agent III.
Hall. Special Agent Fusay, who Is also
here, has asked the Department. for an
order to withhold ordinary letters from
Grant" O
Our subscribers, after reading the
above. can believe what they please and
do what they see fit about mailing the
party any money. We take out the
advertisement till further investigation
is made.
