A Touching Incident OF the Frontier.

THE miner. Anderson, Of whose death in
Summit notice was made last week, had a
romantic trip from Summit to Del Norte.
Fourteen men drew the body dashed TO a sled
to the top of the divide, and eight men came
on from the divide to the tol-9ate with the
corpse. From the toll-gate to Del Nortc the
trip was made in wagons. Here is an incident
of frontier life well worth bordering upon by
our Eastern readers. We reprint 1t from the

friendship which ex SITS In the breasts OF men

A LOng.Delayed Funeral.

DURING the battle ut DroOp Mountain. West
Virginia, November O. 1853, First Sergeant
Jacob Frintz, of the Twenty-eghth Ohio. was
shot throught the head and instantly killed.
His brother, Lew Frint,, helped to bury the
body on the field, and left several distinguish.
ing marks by which the grave could be recog-
Missed. When in 1856. the Government removed
the dead from Droop Mountain to Grafton,
by some oversight the body of Sergeant Frintz
was overlooked, and after a continued cor
respondence with the authorities at Washing
ton and at Grafton, without gaining any def
mite information, Mr.. Lew Fr.ntz came to the
conclusion that his brothers body still resteo
where he had buried IL, and he accordingly
left for West Virginia and the old battlefield
last week for the purpose of making a thor
ough search.
Time had so changed the face Of nature that
but few il any of the old landmarks were rec
ognizabe, and the search would have been
fruitless but that q farmer named McCarty
remembered that In pl0wng he had turned up
a couple of stones that he thought might be
the head and foot stones of q grave. Upon
digging down at the spot body was discov-
cred which was identified by the hole in the
skull and few boards placed over IL by the
living brother as that of the gallant Sergeant,
who had died in defense Of his cause. and had

mold, very springy under pressure, and car
riages passing in the streets cause a strong VI
bration in the adjacent houses The Grand
Hotel boulevard, however, was an exception
to this general rule, and In the rooms facing
the principal street, on which there is "A heavy
traffic, no sensible effect was felt from passing
vehicles. During the recent earthquake the
windows and crockery in less massivey
constructed buildings ratified very sensibly,
whereas there was no audible sound IN the
hotel. Since the earthquake shock, how
ever, this state of things has changed en-
tirely. aud every vehicle passing the hotel
causes vibration in the whole building. The
