WE received copy of the Frostburg
JOURNAL last Saturday, 1t was almost Il
stranger Times.
The fault does not lie with US. To
send copy of each issue of the JOUR-
NAL to every name upon our list is a
specially here as in every we'll regu-
lated newspaper office. To do other
wise would be bad policy and against
our own interest.
The JOURNAL is very much sought
for, however, and it is within the
range of possibility that anxiety
to see it overreaches itself.
Guy LINE" He is about IL years
old; ambitious to become tight-rope
walker and trapezist; was practising
in the back yard on a clothes line
stretched from fence to fencs, all by
himself; the time had come for him
to become a successful successist as a
second Harry Warner; he made
speech to the chickens ard the pig,
then proudly perched upon the fence
and essayed to walk; he is blind
fold; lie stepped out boldly, neigh
boris boy yells guy line |" and our
walkist "took a tumble" Result
several bruises and a big cry. No
more rope for our walkist.
A CURE FOR CATARRH.-Few things
would interest larger number of people
in this and many other ATTITUDES of our
country than positive cure for catarrh,
asthma and kindred ills. Such a remedy
has, it is claimed, been discovered by DIR.
Townsend, well known physician of this
county Severaldecidcd and complete cures,
it is stated, haye been made by it,
Victims Of catarrh should give it a trial
Cumberland Meas.
The editor of the JOURNAL has been
afflicted with rose cold," dis.
ease analogous to those above named,
and Eye local" is informed that he
has derived great benefit from the use
of DR.. Townsend's Remedy, which
was prescribed by one Of our leading
physicians. This also afordsa favorable
opportunity to acknowledge the re-
coipt Of bottle Of this valuable med
icine from DR.. T. several months ago.

THE EcLIpsE.-The JOURNAL en-
joyed the invaluable loan of Mr..
Henry Betz's large glass, and staid
up to see the eclipse Sunday morning.
A few minutes past IL o'clock the
shadow began encroaching upon the
eastern edge OF the disc, and an hour
later had totally obscured its surface.
For nearly another hour there was
apparently no movement of the shad-
ow; the darkness settled down and
the etars came out brilliantly. Dur
ing this period the moon shone lurid-
ly, rejecting simply the light gather
ed from the blaze which surrounded
the umbra. At 81 o'clock the shad-
ow left the face of the moon and all
was bright again.
The view through the glass reveal
ed wonders beyond the ken of the un-
assisted eye. The satellite, unsupport-
ed and unsrlstained, hung, pond
erous globe, in space. Away beyond
in the dark infnity glittered stars
invisible to the naked eye, while up
on the rugged face of the moon ap-
peared the outlines of those great
typographical features whose condi-
tions still puzzle the astron omer.
