MAY "a, 1880,

MAY "a, 1880,
Found me at the Borden Shaft,
owned and operated by the Borden
mining company. 1t might almost be
called the pioneer coal company of
our region. 1t is one Of the few of
our coal corporations that has not
changed hands in the last thirty years,
with all the depressions in our coal
trade and the financial disasters ex-
perienced by our coal companies in
that period Of time. This corpora
ton has withstood them all, having
heen under the management OF we'll
known and distinguished citizen of
the county since the day of its birth,
and it may we'll be termed the "old
reliable" The depth of shaft from
uiface to bottom of big vein is l54 feet.
There are two engines, one Of which
lifts 83 gallons per stroke at a rate Of
s strokes per minute, the other 1913
gallons per stroke, with S strokes per
minute, used for pumping the water
out of the mine. Also, one for hoist
ing the coal to the top of the shaft
where the mine car dumps itself, thus
saving the cost Of dumpmen. This
machinery is of first class order and
is kept in splendid condition. The
hosting engine can hoist 1000 tons
per day, and observed it was run by
a gentleman with a steady hand and
watchful eye. All the other iln-
provements are Of the most substan-
tial character. l noticed as the min
ers defended to their work gentle
man was stationed near the mouth OF
the shaft to see that no more than
eight persons went upon the cage,
that being thu number allowed to de-
scend at once, and when all is ready
he sings out to the engineer "all
right" Thus taking every precau-
ton for The safety of the miners life.
As I stepped upon the cage it called
to my memory the scenes of my boy
hood when used to descend shafts

the use of my arms and legs by what

readers of the JOURNAL a full ac-
count of them. Work is being rapid
ly pushed forward at the Eckhart
slope and at no distant day the ship
ping of coal will begin.
Inspected the old Borden mine be-
longing to the Borden coal company
This is an old mine, employing only
a few miners, drawing stumps; found
the air not good owing to the damp
weather, and the ventilation being
on the natural mode. This does not
agree very we'll with the palace car
report of that mining expert, the
editor OF the FRosTBURG MINING
JOURNAL, in the last issue of his pa
per. Miners get all the timber they
want.

month of my official duties. I have

mine. A report of the Phoenix
Pekin and Swanton mines will ap'

FRosTBURa's municipal debt is
$l,252.84. The present administra-
ton should provide to wipe it out
during the current year and leave a
clean sheet to the next one. AS long
as debt hangs upon US it will be hard
to lower taxation. We commend this
object to the authorities as worth pur-
suit. And it affords a magnificent
opportunity to make good record for
any aspiring economists that may be

SOME Cumberland people are find
ing out that the greatest impeachment
to the establishment of manufacturing
enterprises there is the high rates of
freight. Notwithstanding, a few of
them joined the monopoly which
contributes the impediment in bl eak-
ing down their only hope forearly
freight competition. They were
rich enough once to give the monopo-
ly about thirty acres of land for the
privilege of preventing anybody else
from coming in now they are so poor
they can't give right of way along
one of their dirty alleys to an institu-
tion which will give manufactures
countenance and encouragement.
"Whom the gods destroy they first
make mad" but they committed a ia
tai error this time in not executing
the proposition tail foremost.
ACTIVE opposition to the new rail
road is ghost which haunts por-
ton of the Cumberland mind. 1t
feels somehow that it has ruptured
the orazy-bone of its own elbow, or
sat down too suddenly far forward on
the pommel of something. The pain
coming of such violent proceedings is
only exceeded by the remorse which
the future is storing up for these un-
wise spirits. Neither will "down at
their bidding" and when a large bulk
of our coal, failing to reach the canal,
is lost to city, county and State, is
transported through Pennsylvania,
they may almost wish that they were
dead. Their only hope and salvation
depends on being beaten at last.
This is why they are at the mourn
ers' bench" Pray on, brethren the

save you only just as long as it can

An Ohio exchange says parties are trav-
cling through the country contracting with
farmers for their seasons make of butter,
at large figures, and are finding plenty of
customers. The contract turns out to be a
nice note or promise to pay, which some
OF them have already been called upon to
settle. 1t does seem as II our farmers had
been warned sufficiently against doing
business with strangers, but the willing
ness to believe that their home dealers are
not to be relied upon, when told by one OF
these professional sharps leads them easily
into the web. To the class who are
willing to sell their products for fair
price, and read enough to know when they
get 1t, there is but little danger, but to the
grasIdng and Ignorant, warning must be
constantly harped, and it seems to have as
lasting an effect as pouring water on a

General Garfield made a short speech in
the House, on the nth inst upon the De-
ficiency Bill, which commanded marked
attention from both Republicans and
Democrats, as all Of his speeches do
Taking for his text the remarkable declara-
tion of Mr., Mcmahon, who, in opening
the debate on the bill, said that the Dem
ocratic party cared nothing for the "eight
by seven' decision OF the Supreme Court
that the election laws are CONSTITUTIONAL
and that the Democratic party did not in
tend to make any appropriation for the
performance of these laws. He declared
that McMahon and his party associates
had placed themselves in the attitude of
men who declared that they would not
obey the law; and that their course would
encourage law-breakers all over the land.

Last year the Democratic leaders in Con-
gress attempted 10 starve the Government
This year they stab at the very citidel of
law and order by denouncing the Supreme
Court and declaring that it is inferior to
the Confederate Caucus. II these leaders
succeed in making popular the hatred and
contempt with which they regard the high
est judicial authority, law and order will
be no more in this country. They de-
nounce the Supreme court as ''paeked,
PARTISAN, demoralized" body, because it
does not uphold the extreme State sove-
reignty views of JEFF. Davis and his party.
When s. s. Cox used these words on the
floor Of Congress the other day, and de-
olared that he would not accept the decis-
ion OF the Supreme Court he was heartily
applauded by all his Democratic associates.
And there is not a Democratic journal in
the country which does not approve these
disgraoeful attacks on the highest and
purest judicial authority. There are those
who believe the Democratic party is dying,
II so, its ruling passion-treason-i strong
in death. Warren Tribune.

A DIsoRDERIY HoUsE.-The present House
Of Representatives, the Washington Rep
u6lican says, will outrank any Of its pre-
decessors in the amount Of noise and con.
fusion which prevails during its ordinary
business session. Outsiders have been
more rigidly excluded during the present
session than ever before, but It has only
served to show that they we're not respon. .
sible for the disorder which has never to
such an extent as now, prevailed.
Whenever a debate occurs members
leave their seats in the rear and crowd up
near the Speakers desk to hear the debate
and when nothing to attract special atten-
tion is going on, members gather in
groupes all about, and engage in loud and
often boisterous conversations, making it
impossible for the member addressing the
House to be heard.

tarrh, explains the following important faots
l. That Catarrhal Colds become a
poisonous infection, at FIRST local, and
finally oOnstitutionaI.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach Of mere local
remedies.
3. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal VIRUS follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrb@h, bronchitis,
Leueorrhua. and Consumption.
0. That Smokes, DouoheH, Limitations,
and Insoluble Snuhs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named.
g. That an nntidOts for Catarrh must
possess an inooulRtive affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulont
