noon at 8 p. m. The remains were
followed by large concourse OF cit

A driver named Henry Myers, en-
ployed in Jackson mine, was badly
hurt Tuesday morning from being
dragged two hundred yards by his
horse which became frightened and
ran away. At present he is lying in
great pain but nothing serious is APP
pretended as no bones were broken.
Mrs. Henry Robinson, her son

JUBILEE ORGANs.-There are ma
kers who seek to earn and fix a repu.
tation for frst-class work which shall
be for all time. Among these may
lie noted the Mendelssohn Piano
Company, manufacturers of the popu-
lar Jubilee Organs, which are rapidly
becoming known, and which do not
fail to hold every inch Of ground they
once occupy.
So thorough is the insrection of the
various parts, and OF the whole, that when
an instrument goes cut OF the house guar
antee for five yesrs-long enough to break
down and wear OFT two common organs
lis given the purchaser. The Jubilee
Organ is eminently an organ for the PEG.
ple.-Louisville (Ky.) Commercial.
Having had OCCASION to purchase organs
OF this compony for our own personal
friends, and having found them to be all
that was claimed for them alter years of
thorough trial, and having repeatedly Wis
iteG their factory in New York city, we
are prepared to assert, from our own
knowledge of the manufacturers and their
organs, that their work is not excelled by
any manufacture now In the market.
In short, the Mendelssohn Piano Com
pany's instruments are eminently the
peoples organs, and are worthy OF the
enviable reputation they 30 certainly en-

WE'LL PLEASED WITH THE
COUNT Y.

DR.. SAUL AMONG Us AGAIN.
When DR.. Saul took up his temporary
residence here some two months since
and engaged in the practice of his
profession, a number of residents CT
Frostburg and along the Creek re-
quested him to open an office up there !;
but as his time was limited he de-
clinsd. Having gone West and trans
acted his business there, he returned
here on his way to his home in Allan
ia, Ga. Since arriving in this city
he has concluded to open Offices for a
month or two at Frostburg and Iona
coming, whore he will practice aural
surgery and catarrhal affections. The
Doctor has treated over seven thou
sand cases by the process peculiar to
himself, and he is as much at home
in ear disease and catarrh as a fly on
sugar.
1t is needless for us to commend
him when such certificates as the
following from our fellow townsman,
Capt. John Weir, are given to him
unsolicited. The Captain is known all
through the coal basin. He Gays:
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Aug 16, 1881.
Knowing that catarrh Of the sal Or
gans and head is most loathnome and
offensive disease, and that many of my
frierds in Allcgany county, as well as
others, are afll cied with that terrible
trouble as have beeu, l deem il an I'M
ptrativc duty to give TO the public the
following statement, trusting that they
may receive the same boon that have re-
ceived from Dr. Saul:
have been troubled with catairh of the
n 'strils and head for some time, and have
tried many different treatments for the
disease, but never received any benefit
whatever until placed myself under DR..
Sauls treatment, about six weeks ago,
and by following his treatment, which is
quite simple, now consider myself en-
tirely cured, and therefore heartily recon-
mend Dr. Saul and his treatment to all
who are thus afflicted
Very respectfully, JOHN WEIR.
While in Chicago the Doctor pur-
chased a large number of new instru-
ments, which he laid out before us
last night. They are what physicians
term beautiful" instruments, and to
our eye looked like inventions oil
surgical geniuses. By refractory rays
upon an inclined lens the inner struc.
ture of the ear could be plainly seen.
The Doctor leaves here to-day for
Frostburg, and he will Immediately
open an Office at the hotel there,
where persons along the creek can
receive his Observation-Disclosures

since then nearly all of the hydrants

about on the street during the week

famine is the fact that a noted beer

N. King, promising candidate for

He proposes to make good, strong

fails.
Mr.. L. T. Dewitt is abroad in the
county giving industrious attention
to his interests. He will also do his
best to make successful fight.
1t is commonly remarked that "the

Cumberland gentleman is not idle.
Messrs. G. Berkebile, Otto Hohing

quiet, are likely tightening the loose

No names for the Sheriffalty, save
those of Messrs. w. A. Withers and
