Special Notice.

The attention of taxpayers is especially
called to the provision OF the new Code of
Public General Laws, Which says, cmphat.
ically, that the collector shall collect and
pay over the taxes within six months after
receiving the Eooks and In the event Of
his failure to do so, he sh til be liable to
prosecution and severe punishment.
This means that the collector having re-
cciyed the tax books on the 3d day of Au-
gust, 1880, is obliged by law, by his oath Of
office and by the bond he has given for the
faithful performance OF his duty according
to law, ITO collect and pay over the taxes
within six months" that is by the third
day Of February, 1891,
The collector has no discretion in tho
matter. Having accep cd tho office, he is
bound to execute Its duties in accordance
with law, and he will therefore be obliged
to collect by the summary process of dis
trcss or execution all taxes that are un-
paid on the third day of February, 1881,
and notice Is hereby giytn that all tux bills
for 1880 in arrears on the third day of
February, 1881, will be collected ut once
by legal process,
Taxpayers should therefore make pro.
vision to comply with the requirement of
law 60 as to pay their taxes for 1880 before,
February 3d, 1881, and thereby save costs
trouble and much unpleasantness.

The PIoNIo.-The Potomac Band
picnic at Cumberland drew last Sat-
urday large crowd from this section.
Cumberland people didn't seem to
know it was going on and but few
were there. But for the people gull
ed down there from the Creek the af-
fair would have been a hoax. Tt was
pretty much so anyhow.
There was ao-called band contest.
Two entered-the Homecoming cornet
and Arion of Frostburg. After mnch
palaver each band selected a judge,
and the Potomac band a referee.
Frostburg's choice Of a Judge was I'M
questioned as TO qualifications the
Homecoming Judge required an inter
prefer, which, however was not sub.
mitted to, and the referees best mu-
sical requirement was honesty. All
this seemed to be generally admitted.
The contest came off. Both bands
played we'll, the odds being in favor
of Frostburg. After long and solemn
deliberation with the judges the ref
cree with much agitation declared in
effect that "the Froatburg band was
entitled to the prize, but it would be
awarded to Homecoming" He sus-
tained bis remarkable statement by
citing an impossible score Of 900 to
2l3 points, He subsequently re-
tracted this, saying that he had made
a mistake. The money (925) was
paid to the Homecoming band. The
Arion leader, however, tackled the
referee and unsettled his mind. The
money was demanded of the Lonacon-
ing band, as he (the referee) had
made another mistake. The demand
was reluctantly complied with. Then
the trouble began again. The referee
houndered fearfully. With justice on
one side and a generally prevalent
sentiment on the other that "Frost-
burg having previously won several
prizes, Homecoming, not having reed
instruments to help them out, ought
10 hare Mia," lie was in very deep
water. The Arion leader tied him up
at every point and extortod from him
various admissions, but he couldn't
stand tho pressure and the second
time awarded the prize to I.onacon-
ing,

Coop NEws.-The difficulty at
Bowery furnace was overcome We'd
nesday night. The situation was
more critical than stated in these col
umns last week, and the furnace has
made narrow escape from serious
damage. Iron men term the trouble
"scafolding' an aggregation Of
clinker of raw material which forms
above the boiling-point, bridges the in
terier-will not 60 down and bars the
gravitation Of everything else. Mr..
E. L. Brown, superintendent, as an
experiment built separate furnace,
from which he poured a furious blast
square upon the obstruction until it
gave way, and then all was well.
The idea was an original one with
Mr.. Brown its success is naturally a
matter of much satisfaction all rouud.
Our faith in his skill expressed last
week, is fully verified by the result.
When the furnace gets ahead of him
it will have to extemporize bigger
freak.
