A wonderful improvement has been made
in the general appearance of our esteemed
contemporary the Catoctin Clarion published
at Mechanicstown, Md, Of which Mr.. Chas.
Z. Cassell is editor. 1t is greatly enlarged
and the neat manner in which it is printed
can hardly be excelled. Weare glad to note
the success that has attended our Bro. in his
journalistic labors, and hope that he may
continue to prosper-W Transport Pilot.
The Cate.in Clarion, of Mechancstown,
Md, appeared in an enlarged form with a
now outfit last week, and entirely changed

terprising journal. and we are pleased to no.
tce its Observation-Disclosures Adcocate.
The Catoctin Clarion appeared last week,
enlarged to seven column folio, and pre-
sents neat and greatly improved appear
ance. In this wise bother Cassell has solved
the mystery he sprung upon US some weeks
ago, and which we inclined to believe had
connection with the Chimney Rock" devel-
opmcnt. Loug may he Observation-Disclosures.
The Cdtocttn Clarion, published at Mcchan-

siderably enlarged and wonderfully improv-

sell gives as reason for the enlargement,
the increase ofpatronage and constant growth
of all the surroundings of the place. We are
really glad to see our brother quill-driver
thus compelled to enlarge his "chases," and
hope it will not be long until he must stretch
them again. The Clarion is good local pa
per, ably and carefully managed, and deserves
to prosper.-Odd Felton,,

many a heart ache in our neighborhood, he
was respected by every one that knew him.
1t has been sore atfliction to his father and
mother, sisters and brothers. 1t appears
that he was killed at Chewsville on Monday
o'clock, and taken to Hagcrstown that
night on Tuesday morning brought to Rocky
Ridge on tho o'clock train. MFR. Crcager
the undertaken was there and conveyed the
body ohis fathers, Solomon Springer. Re-
port says, that the head was entirely severed
from the body, an eye witness reports that
nothing but one cheek and eye was all that
could I've seen, his head, face and neck was
so bandaged as to hide from view the part
that was injured, his wife says the report
came to her that tho cause of the accident
was, that his pants caught on rail and
threw him under the car, nevertheless it Is a
warning to others to be very careful work
ing on or about the cars.
We have had good many on the sick
list in the ncighborhood. Mrs. Thomas Fly
Ter has been very much afflicted with con-
sumption, also Miss Auna Valentine, daugh-
