Davis & Townshend have received
a part of car load of New Champ
ion Mowers and Comhind Machines.
Most of them are already sold, and
parties who have given their orders
can come at any time and get their
machine. Those who wish to buy
machine should,consider the superior
qualities of the New Champion oyer
other machines, the convenience in
getting repairs for machine in such
general use; also bearing in mind
that for years past those who gave
orders late in the season could not be
supplied. The demand is greater than
the supply, Notwithstanding from
sixty to seventy-five thousand are
manufactured yearly. The ROLAND
Chilled Pillow takes the lead. Four
were sold in one day last week. They
sell themselves when tried. We have
several ofthe celebrated Brown Wag.
ons on hand, Thomas Hay Rakes,
Feed Cutters, Buggies, &c. We ex-
pect another car load of choice white
seed oats from the west by first of
next week, which we will sell at
reasonable rates.

Emigrants for Garrett County.

Wednesday Monsieur Auguste de
BocoDdi, agent of the French line of
steamers, arrived in Oakland, with
letters of introduction to G. w. De-
lawder, ESQ.,, from the B. & o. r. r.
officials. The object of his visit, we
are informed, is to examine the large
tracts of unimproved lands in the
county, looking to their settlement
by emigrants from the old world. In
this enterprise the B. & o. r. r. Co.
is also deeply interested. and will
offer all the facilities in its power tC
aid in building up the waste places
in our county. Mons. Bocondi goes
from here to Deer Park to consult
with Hon. H.G. Dayis. He will also
there meet Mr.. G. M. Miller, agent
for General Anderson, who has
large body of unimproyed land II
this county. We hope everything
may be so arranged that within the
next year thousands of industrious
agricultural laborers from Europe
will be settled upon the vast tracts o
unoccupied lands within the limits o
Garrett county.

Death of an Old Citizen.

Died, at his residence near Deep
Greek, in this county, April Sth, 1888,
Marien Drane, in the 85th year of his
age. He was born in Prince Georges
county, Md. His parents moved to
this county and settled near where
the town of Accident now stands
when he was quite young, and this
part of the country was almost dense
Wilderness. He is the last, so far as
we know, of the first settlers of this
region of country. He was man of
great responsibility and dignified
hearing, and utterly disdained any
thing low and mean. And though
not professor of religion, we are
creditably informed that he made the
necessary preparation and that his
end was peace. His funeral was
preached by the writer in the M. E..
Church at JOhnstOwn to large and
respectable audience of weeping rela-
tives and friends. May his ashes rest
in peace until the morning of the
general resurrection, and then, with
faculties all immortal, enter upon the
full fruiti0n of eternal life and thus
be forever with the Lord.

Lines ON the Death of Mrs. Laura NJ.
Arnold.

Not year had fled ere the bride was dead,
And her lovely and beautiful form
Was arrayed in the bridal robes she wore
On her happy wedding morn.
Her spotlessness and fair sweet face,
Seemed embems fit and fair
Of the spirit within, redeemed from sin.
And the robes which the glorified wear.
But the beautiful clay will sink in decay,
And the earthly raiment will fade;
But the spirit refined, and no longer confined,
Is in fadeless beauty arrayed.
Yes, the loved one has gone from her earthly
home,
To one ever-during and fair;
For she lives with the blest in the land Of rest,
In the beautiful home over there"
1t is gladstone spring, and the birds will sing.
And nature her beauties unfold;
But naugnt can compare with her home over
there,
For the half has never been told.
0 the glorious hope that bears the heart up,
When loved ones are taken away,
That again we shall meet, in communion
sweet,
In the "land that is fillrer than day"
