IMPRovEMENTs.-Neio HGH-Ho-
tel, &c.-Decidedly one of the finest
improvements that is being made in
this town is that of the large addi-
ton being tuilt 10 Messrs. Shaffer &
NUNS re-house. The building
previous to the present time was 30 K
40 feet, but is now being extended on
the west IL feet, the addition run
ming back 6S feet. In this part will
be store-room 40 feet deep by IL
wide, with room in rear % feet deep.
The entire front of the building is I'll
feet. On the second floor is a room
similar to the rear one beneath, % K
IL feet This floor is on level with
the second story of the old L build
ing and connected with it by a large
door. The second story Of the whole
structure will contain four large
rooms, hall, outer.room, and porch.
The new hall will be 60 40 fe t, and
Is feet high, with windows l23 x9 feet
of large plate glass. The entrance to
this room will be on the east side by
a stairway IL feet wide. Gas will
be used in lighting it and by
spring it be heated with steam. 1t
will te furnished nicely and used
for lodges and associations of different
kinds TO meet in. The improvement
will be finished by the time cold
weather sets in. A. j. Wilson is
doing the carpentry; Andrew Kraft,
of Cumberland, bricklaying; John
N. Carson, plastering; Thomas john
son, of Cumberland, timing; and
the iron cornices we're furnish I'D by
Charles Wuichet, of Day ton, Ohio.
The building is built of an excelle mt
quality Of brick. Several societies
have already spoken to the proprie-
tors relative to renting it. This is an
improvement that will be lasting one
and will, when completed, be an orna-
ment to the town instead of the eye
sore the old building has been.
Among the substantial improve
ments springing from the ruins of the
Homecoming FIRE is large brick hotel
upon the site of the former one own
ed by Mr.. James 7. Brady. This estab-
lishment will be ready for occupancy
early in the spring. Meanwhile he
has erected large frame house near
by for temporary purposes, which
was opened to the travelling public
and his patrons generally last Satur-
day. In addition TO the above enter
prise Mr.. Brady's indomitable per-
severance is illustrated in the rapid
ful6llment of contract to grade two
miles OF the Weat Virginia Central
and Pittsburg railway. A friend of
his has christened the new brick es-
tablishment-Hotsl de Brady.
James Hawke has recently painted
handsome canvas sign for D. G.
Percy, Esq, the druggist. The work
will compare favorably with that
done In the cities.
The stone walk in front of Mr..
Edward Dufty's property on Bowery

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS
Ezskiel Kennedy, aged 67 years, and
a resident Of this town, was stricken
with paralysis Tuesday evening be-
tween aud o'clock while driving
Mr.. Humberstons wagon. 1t seems
that he was sitting on the vehicle,
which was up the National road about
four miles, when he received the
stroke. He was Immediately assisted
to hia home on Spring street n ear
Bowery and medical aid summoned.
1t was found upon examination by
his physician that his entire left side
was paralyzod which made him COM
pleteiy helpless. He has also lost
his mind and speech from the shock.
This is the second time within three
years he has been stricken, the first,
however, being on the right side.
His situation is considered critical.
The TELEPHONE TO FRosTBURG.-
Mr.. J. A. Blsttau, superintendent of
the Cumberland telephone exchange
was in Frostburg Tuesday working
up the project Of telephone commu-
nication with Cumberland, Pompey
Smash and Homecoming. He was
much encouraged by the temper of
our business men toward the enter
prise and left the assurance with US
that the limo would be completed to
this place within few days. For a
small fee people here may communi-
cate with any of the places named.
The Meas says:
Telephone communication with Frost
burg will certainly be a veiy great conve-
nience and will add much 10 the usefulness
of the Cumberland exchange. We wish
the enterprise success.
We shall have numerous occasions
TO speak of the work hereafter, as its
value to this place is already guar
anteed.
GREAT preparations are being made
by Nickel's Mastodon Minstrels for a
first class show. The end men are
simply "immense" with their gags
and songs. The selections for the
orchestra are from the operas of
Olivette, Patience and
the Bohemian Girl. Among the
vocal selections may be mentioned
when the dewdrops kissed the ILL
lies, "Baby's got e. tooth, lathe color
ed hop The man with the sealskin
pants" around de middle Of the
path, Cradles empty, baby s gone,
"a farmers life," "Che conductor
CT the B. & o., and host Of others.
The playa include "The Haunted
Inn," Our Barber Shop" "Myste-
rious Stranger" DE old Gum Game,
"Our Three Senator'S" SC. The
stump speeches will be unusually
fine including "Things are not what
they SEEM" Babies and Watermel-
ons and others. The Arion Sextette
will play some enhancing airs and a
fine time is expected. Their adver-
tissInent, will appear in our next issue.

PARENTS would do wise thing il
they would have their chileren vac

smallpox is very prevalent and it

He came in the other day and re-
marked that "the drouth had crept
into the campaign until the situation
was positive ely painful, An early
freeze would destroy all moist stimu-
lation and deep snow would bring
on famine. What lie wanting is a
combination whirl.wind and cloud
burst, so to speak, with just enough
frost and sunshine to oxygenate and
calorify the interior membranes"
The stove was too comfortable, and
water, though scarce and high, was
too weak he drank nothing that did
not bear an egg. A dog fight called
his attention from the quadrangular
contests for the senatorship and sher-
iffalty before be had occasion to an
nounce his preference Whoever of
the nominees is most prosecuted,
however, is his favorite. This gen.
eroua trait was made visible during
the canine imbrogiio, the magnificent
submission Of the unsuccessful pup
evoking from him the following
choice ballad:
But for me, l shall never pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right,
For my heart will beat, while it beats
at all,
For the under dog in the fight.
Perchance what I've said l had better not
SAID,
Or 'twere better had said in incog.
But with heart and with glass filled chock
to the brim,
Here's health to the bottom dog.
