THE SITUAT1oN.---A gleam of light
fell upon the state Of affairs in the
proceedings of last Monday. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. James Campbell, Sec
rotary of the Grand Executive Board,
K of L., in conversation with Mr..
Malcolm Sinclair, Superintendent Of
the New Central coal company, was
led to believe that a settlement was
possible. A representative meeting
of the miners in Frostburg on Mon
day was the result. Mr.. Sinclair was
present and stated that he was not
authorized by the companies tc make
settlement, though he felt confident
that whatever he did would be sus-
tanned by the other companies. Under
the circumstances stated by Mr.. Sin
clair the committee doubted the con-
currence of the other companies. II
he (Mr. S had no authority to state
the companies terms, what guarantee
had the miners that they (the COM
panies) would stand by an arrange
ment with Mr.. Sinclair? The latter
then stated he would make use of
telegraph wires to Baltimore to-mor-
row and endeavor to have the COM
panies meet the committee, and he
would report as soon as an anewer
was received. The meeting then adj
journei to meet upon the call Of the
companies. 1t will be seen that no
terms Of settlement were proposed by
either side, and that, therefore, the
movement was rather in the direction
of settlement than otherwise. We
are informed, moreover, that the pro-
ceedings were conducted with the
best feeling on both sides.
Wcrk on barracks at Koontz mine
has been in progress during the week
preparatory to the accommodation o!
new miners.
Considerable excitement has at
tended the effort to introduce new
labor at Koontz mine. Serenades,
hootings, etc., induced the police to
leave on Thursday. They couldn't
stand the racket. Several arrests
have resulted. These demonstrations
cannot be approved, certainly not as
good policy. Good order is endan-
gered and strong invitation ex-
tended to the State to send military
here--a contamination by no means
desirable.
In the case of Evan Jones non
pres was entered, owing to want OF
documentary evidence showing SER
vice Of the notice. The Maryland
company appealed, and the case now
goes to the Circuit Court. The re-
naming cases were postponed until
yesterday,

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.--Quite a
laughable sensation was created on
Bowery street one afternoon last week
by the actions Of two young ladies
and an equal number Of gentlemen.
The affair was az follows: Two
young ladies of Main street were prom
enading Bowery street and chat
ting gaily as they went along, little
suapeoting the deao@eHeent that was
shortly TO follow. Two prominent
gentlemen were Immediately behind
them; like the girls they were buaily
engaged in c0uv ersation but Of bust
ness character. Both ladies and gen.
tlemen were SO deeply absorbed in
their conversation that they were to-
tally oblivious of each others pres
ence. In front OF the pastoral resi-
dence Of Rev. D. ID. George the la
dies stood against the fence to allow
the gentlemen to pass, bat the young
men thinking the ladies wished to
turn back Immediately began maneu-
vering to allow them passage-way
while one of them opened the preach
er's front gate Che having business
with him. The minister, who was
reading paper on the front porch,
arose and took black covered book
out Of his pocket and proceeded to
the gate. By this time the residents
of Bowery street were out in full force
expecting marriage, for everything
5etokened it. The ladies then saw
for the first lime the laughable posi-
ton they were involuntarily placed
in and joined heartily in the general
laugh that followed explanations, and
wendell their way homewards. One
old lady was heard to remark that "it
was a pity such a nice chance for a
marriage was spoiled" When the
young nen 20 to see preacher again

A TRIP THROUGH BORDEN VII.
LAGE.-One ofthe prettiest and most
romantic looking little places in Ale
gany county is the village of Borden
mine, about one-half mile from Frost
burg. 1t lies at the foot of the noun
tain near the Borden plane aud has
about $50 inhabltanta, all of whom
when work 10 running are engaged at
something in and about the mines
The denizena OF this place ara noted
for their industrious and sober habits
and all along have been among the
most law abiding and peaceful citizens
Of AllegaDy county. The village mas
four streets in excellent condition and
a numbsr Of little alleys. Back of
it is pretty grove Of chestnut aad
poplar under whose outrageous
shapes the youth often while away
the summer evenings in dancing, mu-
SIC and Innocent sports. On the
grounds is a commodious dancing pa
yliion. The place is bountifully sup
piled With well water aud springs
that Gush from the rocks on the
mountain sides. The houses are most-
ly built in the old English style, with
large caves and co2y porohoa, and
ali have splendid gardens. Grapes
grow luxuliantly and in profuss abun-
dance, nearly every garden having
fne arbors attached. The people of
Borden village are blessed with a
pretty location, fine landscape views,
good neighbors and contented minds.

MES. "The earth then plunges
through the broad domains of an err
ratio number Of the system known as
The August me,eor23a9. This zone
is gigantic ellipse or hoop, whose
parhelion point ia within tho earth's
orbit, and whose aphelion point
reaches far beyond the orbit of Nep-
tune. 1t is mys.eriously associated
with The second comet CT 1862, or
has been gradually formed from its
substance. The meteMs are now dis
tFibuted through every portion Of the
vastring. though somewhat unequally.
Therefore, every year, when about the
10th of August the earth crosses the
zone, there is u shower of meteors,
more or less abundant, according to
the density Of the cometic cloud.
Sometimes the showers are very bril-
liant, almost rivalin2 tho famous
November onca. At ordinary times,
an observer may be reasonably sure
of counting several hundred on the
nights mentioned. These lneteors are
usually yellow, and leave behind
trails Of luminous vapor that often
last several seconds"
