The March moon fulls on the 23d
at twenty minutes past one o'clock
i'm the evening. The full March
qno on plays an important part in the
affairs of men. For as she fulls three
days after the vernal equinox, she
determines, in accordance with the
law, that Easter shall fall on the fol-
lowing Sunday, the 25th, and Easter
in turn determines the other NOVA
BILE feasts and fasts of the church. The
short time intervening between the
yernal equinox and the full of the
moon brings Easter this year within
three days of the earliest date the fes.
tival can occur. In 1918, Easter fell
on the Odd of March, the earliest date
possible. Such will not be the case
again either in this or the following
century.

Our Deer Park Letter.

DEER PARK, Md, March 20, 1888.
We are all patiently contemplat-
ing our inevitable equinoCtial storm,
which is here to-day in all its force,
and have come to the conclusion that
if Vennor, Virgins & Co., had a few
more weather prophets to assist them
we would have more weather than
we could very well endure.
To.day's snow storm prevented the
tram cars from making their usual
trip to the mill.
But the near approach offspring and
summer is having its effect and every
body is busy getting ready for it.
Senator Davis made flying visit
to Deer Park yesterday.
r. T. Mayin and c. l.. Macmillan,
of Baltimore, are now stopping at
Wing and Wing for the purpose of
surveying land for the B. & 0, r. r..
Co., with a view to locating cottage
lots on the Hotel grounds.
Miss Addie Tower, of Oakland,
spent a few days at Wing and Wing
last week.
Mrs. H. L. Grant, of Altamont. is
giving music lessons in Deer Park at
present.
Mrs. w. r. Davis, of Piedmont,
was in town one day last week. She
will occupy her SUMMER residence
here about the 1st of May.
Miss Annie Graham and Miss Helen
Harrison are still visiting in Balti-
more and Washington.
The public school closed yesterday
with pleasant and appropriate closing
exercises.
Our young friend J. Bruner Bantz,
has adopted very delightful method
of occupying his leisure hours. He
has procured about a dozen singing
birds from Baltimore and other places,
linnets, goldfinches and canaries, and
has them loose in a room prepared
for their habitation.
Rev. w. H. Clary preached his fare
well sermon last Thursday. and will
be stationed next year at Elk Gar
den. He has been on this circuit four
years and with his family will leave
many friends in our neighborhood.
We have quite curiosity in our
vicinity. A cat belonging to Mrs. r.
j. Head is actually afflicted with the
mumps. Shows all the symptoms of
the disease and has jaws very much
swollen. ~

it. And we didn't pass your laws,
did we? You were a very wicked
man, Governor. Instead of appoint
ing the men wanted, you went to
work and put Ritchie and Stafford on
the board, and what was the result ?
Why simply that we had to harmo-
nize. We were afraid of those super
visors. we did not know what was to
become of us-I mean German and
the gang-and had to make up with
Whyte and nominate him for Mayor.

had the power of a giant, and you
used it, too-but it's all for the best,

four years, sir not for all the money

be strangled, SIR"
"Why, Governor" interjected Mr..
Cotton, 81 am for reform. Thought
you knew that long ago."

George Cotton, why do you perse-

ana VIII probably not return until
tine winter is passed and the rain is
over and gone; when the flowers ap-
pear on the earth, and the time of the
singing of birds is come, and the voice
OF the turtle is heard in our land"
Rev. Bowlin has been quite success
ful Ill his revival meetings recently
held at SelhysDort and Sang Run APP
polntments. Quite a number have
prsfsssed conversion, and about forty
have united with the church. His
next meeting will be held at Webb's
Chapel, w. Va. We wish him equal
success at that appointment.
There is quite a business being
done in the timber line in this vicin-
ity just now. Poplar and lind trees
are disappearing very fast, and the
banks of the river are lined with
cord-wOod designed for the Fall CITY
pulpmills, and soon the news will be
read in all parts of the world on pa
per manufactured from the trees that
once waved in the forests of Garrett
county. Tens of thousands of White
oak slaves are also being made sew
eral persons doing quite a business in
this line. Many Others are engaged
in making crossties. and still Others
in. the hickory spoke business, and
the sound of the woodman's ak may
be heard in almost all directions, but
it is making sweeping destruction
of timber, tor which our farmers may
be very sorry in days to come. All
this timber is to be fiOated down the
Yough river to Confluence, and will
make live business when the floods
ofspring and early summer come.
Mr.. Geo. M. Steele has recently
purchased the home of Rev. d, A.
Friend, who will move at an early
date to GAINESVILLE, w. Va. George
is clever young man, and we are
glad that he intends to remain among
us. He has the cage now. and the
next work will be the catching of the
bird. Look out George, there are
many nnely feathered fowls as yet,un-
caught.
Mr.. John A. Steele has left these
parts for the regions of the west, and
will not be apt to return for while.
'Twould be better if "young Lochin-
var" had taken his bride with him.
The frost in these parts has been
very trying to the wheat ; there is no
beautiful green fields as are often seen
this time of year, but the best pre-
sents brown appearance, and the
prospect for a good harvest is not at
all fattering.
Several of our farmers are busily
engaged making maple-sugar. They
tell us that the water is unusually
rich this season, owing to the great
amount of freezing during the win
ter. Sugar ought to be cheap.

The Washington special correspon-

ing under date of March 18th, says I:
The continuous gossip about Robert
T. Iincoln's candidacy for the Presi-
Gency led The american correspon-
dent to ask few Questions to-day of
an old business associate of Mr.. Lin
coins and now one of his most init
mate friends. In replying to these
questions the gentleman said that
there was no need of concealing the
fact that bob" would be very glad
to occupy the position in which his
father won so much honor, but that
he was sensible enough to know that
there was time for everything I'M
der the sun. He has already been
approached by leading Republicans
of the country, urging his candidacy
for the next campaign, but other
friends tell him that his time is not
yet; that he is still young and that
he would run better in 1888, His
friend further said that the growth of
Lincoln's popularity was not gener-
ally known to the world. Those who
are with him every day know best of
the confidence in him that is growing
among the people, not on his fathers
account, but on account of his person.

secretary of war ever mastered the
details of his department SO thor

ability is daily demanding more gen.
eral recognition. Sosaying, the friend
referred to added "Lincoln will be
the man if 1t looks like desperate
case next summer, but if not, he will
be forthcoming in 1882 A local
paper, on the same subject, says to-
day: ut is reported that Mr.. Secre-
tary Chandler thinks himself well
fitted for the Vice. Presidency. Lin
coin and Chandler would not sound
bad, and the combination would be a
strong.one. Friends of Blaine could
not refuse to support it, although it
could hardly result in making Mr..
Blaine the next Secretary of State.
