AN ERRONEOUS RuMoR.-We I'M
derstand the report has obtained ex.
tensive circulation that Bowery fur
mace has gone out of blast. 1t is
hardly possible this rumor could
have emanated from or been circulat.
ed by malicious persons, as nothing
could be accomplished thereby save a
desire to deter good furnace hands from
coming here for work. We say good
hands, for such are indispensable to
the successful operation of the estab-
lishment-a continuance of which
all devoutly desire in the interest of
the common welfare.
We alluded two weeks ago to the
serious difficulty which beset the fur
mace at that time and to the success
which attended Mr.. Browns expert
ment to remove it. We are since
credibly informed that the furnace is
running full blast, and on the part of
the management every effort will be
concentrated to keep it up to that
healthy stage for long time to come.
PIcN1os AND BALL.-The Borden
Shaft and Midlothian combination will
hold their first picnic at Wright's
Crossing, Tuesday, Sept. 2lst, 1880.
Dancing, sports and pastimes will be
the attractions.
On Tuesday, Sept. 2lst, 1880,
grand picnic will be held at Long
Stretch, five miles west Of Frostburg,
on the National road. A good band
of music will be in attendance go as to
enable the lovers of Terpsichore to
pay homage at his shrine.
The Frostburg socials will give
their first ball at Odd Fellows OPP
era House, Friday evening, Sept. 18th.
Prof. Hocking's orchestra has been
engaged and the floor will be waved
for this occasion. Strict order will
maintained by special police force,
and good time may be expected.
POLITICAL FUN.-It is reported
from No. IL that the G. O. @. ran a
ticket in the democratic primary
which was opposed by G. G. & O.
ticket. The former went down and
with it "Green Delegate" to the
"Tomb of the Capulets.'
In one Of the Homecoming districts
it is said few of the boys stole a
march on the other fellows by lock-
ing out the suffragans, and one of
them afterward sat as juryman up
on his own cont este1 seat and won
half of it.
| A Mt. Savage rumor has it that the
primary was over before large num-
Der could find out where it was held.
The reputation of the "army in Elan
ders" was thereupon eclipsed.
Commemorative have received o
letter from Allegany mines correct
ing statement in the JOURNAL last
week concerning the establishment Of
Sunday School at that place. 1t
seems that the school was started by
the citizens Of Allegany and the Y.
NJ. @. A., of Frostburg, and not
"opened by Mr.. James Thomas" as
stated. Our correspondent writes al
SO that James X. Polk Hanen is the
superintendent.
