Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1880-04-17

Hon. David u. Sherer is native Vi
Scotland. He was born August 4,
1926, and emigrated to this country
during his minority. Of an observ-
ant and studious turn, he has acquired
fair knowledge of our institutions.
To public questions this acquisition
is applied broadly and: judiciously,
and with especial legard to what he
conceives is right. A miner by oc-
cupation, he is naturally warm
friend of that class oflaborers, though
his sympathies extend to every one
who "earns his bread in the sweat Of
his face" He watches the interests
of his people closely; is rarely out Of
his seat, and records his vote on all
questions. He is Republican and
holds his first Office. He is member
of the House committee on Colored
Population.

HON. JOHN S. COMBS.

This gentleman has the honor of
representing in the Senate county

riety of its resources. The vast in
terests which here demand the foster
ing care and protection of the State,
when subjects of legislation, require
wise and sagscious treatment. Dur
ing his term, now expiring, Mr..
Comts' representative capacity has
been characterized by great prudence
and foresight. He is native of the
county, was born at Frostburg, Au-
gust 10. 1926, and attended the best
schools of the period in that locality.

farming on an extensive scale. For
twenty-five years, therefore, he has
been one of tho leading business men
of the county, both his mercantile es-

in the most prosperous manner. The
same strict methods which mark the

HARBINGERS OF SPRING.

noticed that homely girls marry in
the spring and pretty ones in the fall.
The small boy grows superlatively
sauoy and refuses to take his sulphur

cial acumen.
Hens that have been loafng about
all winter "on their oars" when eggs
were forty cents a dozen, show a dis
position TO glut the market at fifteen

The housewife decides that two
new carpets are needed, and because
she can't get them, pounds the old
ones to pieces out in the back yard.
Lattuoe is in market, but on the
top shelf, where poor folks can't

Potatoes show disposition to be

The Oldest inhabitants begins his
series of lies about planting peas in
January and picking roses in Ma rch.
Grocsrs work off their surplus

a harbinger of spring, but an evidence

great poverty and gnashing of teeth
among gas consumers.

BE and continue poor, young man,
while others around you grow rich
by fraud and disloyalty; be without
place and power, while others beg
their way upward; bear the pain Of
disappointed hopes, while others gain
the accomplishment of theirs by fiat
terry; foreso the gracious pressure of
the hand, for which oringe and crawl.
Wrap yourself up in your own virtue.
and seek a friend and your daily
bread. If you have in such a cause
grown weary, grow gray with un.
blemished honor, bless God and die.

remarkable instance OF tho -
gacity Of animals occurred recently q
the residence Of Peter Killean. No. 366
Dryades street. The participants IN
the event about to be related were .
goat, which for some years past has
been great pet with the children Of
the family, and pup, q comparatively
recent arrival in the domestic circle.
The goat and dog were on the best q
terms, and had come to enjoy occa-
sional rambles together around the yard
during the goats spare moments, when
there were no oysters cans, door
scrapers or other edibles for it to dis
pose Of. The singular behavior Of tho
goat during the afternoon, some days
since, attracted the attention Of the.
family. It ran to and fro, crying In the
most piteous manner, and seemed half
distracted. Some one at last suggested
that the animal should be followed; and
it, seeming to appreciate the fact that Il
had been understood, led the way to
the rear Of the yard, where its canine
companion was found In the vault, Il
most in its last struggles. The puppy
was quickly rescued and restored 70 tho
goat, who greeted it with the fondest
caresses. IN O. Times.
