the coal and fire clay mines, al
being under the general management
of Thomas Clifford, Esq. The price
paid for mining the coal is rs cent
per ton. The works are eligibly To-
Gated in the midst of a prosperous
community and add greatly to the
place as large industry.
IMPRovEMENTs.-Seysrsl houses il
GERMANTOWN are nearly completed.
A new dwellins-house has recently
been erected on the lot adjoining the
residence of Mr.. Joseph Thomas al
Eckhart. 1t contains nine large
rooms and hall and will be occu.
pied by DR.. B. M. Cromwell, who has
recently located in that village.
Postmaster Walker has done some.
thing towards helping the little ones
ap to the delivery and stamp win
dows, by placing little rtools directly
underneath and an iron railing for
them to grasp. While our worthy p.
m. has done this yet the parents
should prevent as far as possible
their little ones from running into the
post Office every few minutes during
the day to ask for letters thereby both
ering the officials in their duties.
SURE OF A BIC CRowD.-If meri.
toriousness has anything to do with
drawing together a large crowd, on
show day, the celebrated Orion show
will surely have packed canvas. 1t
is long time since this city has been
been the scene ola really great show !;
but we are now to have one soon.
The Greenfield CO., Chief gives just
praise to the coming Orion show, as
follows
Miles Orton's street parade, Thursday,
was witnessed by thousands, and was the
finest ever seen here. There were the
most beautiful horses and thorough breds,
finest chariots, and cages, and best equip
ped equestrians ever seen on our streets in
any show procession. The attendance
was very large and the acting in the ring
gave the best satisfaction.
The date for this great show to APP
pear in Frostburg is Thursday, July
9th.
BASEBALL ITEMs.-A match game Of
baseball was played last Saturday
afternoon on Washington Hill, near
between the Borden Shaft
and Eckhart clubs, The playing was
only tolerable as the following score
shows; Eckhart, Is; Borden Shaft,
l3. Both clubs, however, promise
some good playing before the season
is over.
A return game will be played at
Borden Shaft this afternoon between
he Eckhart and Shaft clubs. The
game is expected to be very inter-
ssting one.
All the ball fields in this section
nave recently been fixed up and laid
out fer playing.
The situation develops nothing
new of importance here.
The last news from the Meyersdale
region was to the effect that all the
miners save those of the Garrett mine
we're out, and these were nomentarily
to cease work.
In the Clearfeld region the large
majority of men are idle and cheer
ul feeling prevails there. The mass
meeting held at Houtziale last Mon
lay resulted in the ratification of the
lwo PREVIOUS meetings, namely, to
stand for 65 cents. Later.-Nearly
Ill the men are out and the remainder
coming.
The demand for 65 cents is solid all
along the line.
BAD Observation-Disclosures reports
come from the work of the new min
srs. 1t is reliably stated that "the
coal dug is mostly slack, while the
bid miners brought the coal down in
such large masses that they had to
use wedges to break it up afterwards.
As much slate is sent out in the coal
in day by the new men as the old
