The farmers are busy in seeding and
other farm work incident to this season.
The delightful weather that we have been
favored with has been quite boom TO the
busy husbandmen. Already some of the
nelds of the earlier sowing of wheat are
making pretty, green appearance, and in
short time the brown, fresh plewed fields
will present robe of living green that will
gladden. the heart OF the farmer.
Mrs. Robert Wilson, of Clarksburg, while
out driving, one day last week, in company
with several of her household, on the Boyds
Station road and mile below Clarksburg,
met with painful accident A farm team
coming behind in rather rapid speed got
entangled in the buggy, upsetting it, turn
ing out the occupants, tracturing the collar
bone and dislocating the shoulder of Mrs.
| Wilson. While the accident was very
bad one, We understand that she is doing
well.
Quite lot of Improvements are continu-
ally under way in our vicinity. Mr.. r. S.
Umstead's new residence will soon be conf
pleted; Mr.. Hobbs is rapidly pushing the
handsome summer residence of Mai Totten.
MIR. Kingsbury, of your town, has i'm
proved his property here by the erection of
a large stable.
Several farms have recently changed hands

his farm, near the station, to A. NJ, Delaugh-
ter, of Frederick county, at $50 per acre
Everybody is now either discussing poll
tics or arranging to attend one of the agrl-
cultural Fairs, and especially our county
Fair at Rockville
Our station has lately been enivened by
the strains of music. A Cornet Band has
been organized and started off into the realms
OF music under the leadership of Mr. Jacob
Dutrow, who has been for quite a number
of years-a member of the Clarksburg band.
We look proudly forward to the near future
when We will be treated to the sweet strains
OF soul-stirring music

A $500 Gold Nugget.

A nugget of gold was on exhibition
at the banking house of A. B. Car
lock recently that attracted much at
tention. 1t weighed 1904 ounces and
was valued at $4,000, but it was al
most untold wealth to the finder, Sam
Howard, a miner on Indian creek,
near Happy Camp. Mr.. Howard has
been under Fortunes ban for many
years. He owns the claim on Indian
creek from which the chispa was taken,
but it has not been rich piece of
ground and as a rule has left but little
after expenses were paid. His health
has been poor and to crown his mis-
fortunes his wife died a few years ago,
and left four small children, whom he
has been trying to care for with only
Indifferent success. The struggle with
sickness and gaunt poverty has been
an unequal one, but he has never
yielded nor lost his courage.
One day, while sitting on the
bank watching a Chinaman in his
employ at work IN the claim, he saw
this glittering messenger of relief fall
out of the dirt into the cut. As might
be expected, for time it completely
unnerved him. 1t is related that he
had the nugget all that day and could
hardly decide what to do with it. At
ter few days the excitement wore
away and the mass of metal is now
Oh its way to the mint to be coined
into cash that shall feed, clothe and
educate his children and bring COM
forts to his lowly home. The piece
fiat, would, if squared up, be about
four inches square and one and one
half inches thick. 1t is little worn
by washing and has several pieces of
quartz still sticking to one side of it.
As specimen of crude gold it is one
of the handsomest we ever saw.

Discovery OF the Mammoth.


The banks of that great Northern
Siberian river, the Lena are quite
peculiar. Those on the western side
are generally low and marshy, while
those on the eastern are often from
sixty to one hundred feet in height.
In the extreme north this high eleva-
ton is cut into numerous pyramidal.
shaped mounds, which are formed OF
layers of earth and ice-sometimes
clear stratum of the latter is many feet
in thickness.
1t was before such mound that
fisherman stopped, dumb with stonish-
ment, one spring morning many years
ago. About thirty feet above him,
half way up the face of the mound,
appeared the section great ice-layer,
from which the water was flowing in
numberless streams; while protruding
from it, and partly hanging over, was
an animal of such huge proportions
that the simple fisherman could hard
ly believe his eyes. Two gigantic
horns or tusks we're visible, and a
great woolly body was family outlined
in the blue, icy mass. In the fall he
related the story to his comrades up
the river, and in the ensuing spring,
with party of his fellow fisherman,
he again visited the spot. year had
worked wonders. The great mass
had thawed out sufficiently to show its
nature, and on closer inspection proved
to be a wen-preserved specimen of
one of those gigantic extinct hairy
elephants that roamed over the north
ern parts of Europe and America in
the earlier ages of the world. The
body was still too firmly attached and
frozen to permit of removal. For four
successive years the. fishermen visited
it, until finally, in March, 1904, five
years after its original discovery, it
broke away from its icy bed and came
laundering down upon the sands be-
low. The discoveries first detached
the tusks, that were nine feet six
inches in length, and together weighed
$50 pounds. The hide, covered with
wool and hair, was more than twenty
men could lift. Part of this, with the
tusks, were taken to Jakutsk and sold
for fifty rubles, while the rest of the
animal was left where it fell and cut
up at various times by the Jakoutes,
who fed their dogs with it's flesh. A
strange feast this, truly-meat that
had been frozen solid in the ice-house
of nature perhaps fifty thousand years,
more OF less; but so well was it pre-
served that, when the brain was after
ward compared with that of recently
killed animal, no difference in the
tissues could be detected.
Two years after the animal had fall
len from the cliff the news reached St,
Petersburg, and the museum of nat
ural history sent a scientist to secure
the specimen and purchase it for the
emperor. He found the massive
skeleton entire, with the exception of
one fore leg. The tusks were repur-
chased in Jakutsk, and the great frame
was taken to st. Petersburg and
there mounted.-St. Nicholas.
