SuNsTRoKE.-Our old and esteemed cit
izen, Mr.. A. Slick, who has followed tht
business of tailor in our town for mum
Der Of years, received severe sunstroke OF
Thursday afternoon last He was at thu
time engaged in digging dirt with whlcf
to fill up his side walk and was at tht
time the attack came on him, entirely
alone, the cart having been driven of. llt
was at work at the foot of the hill, JUS
west of Mr.. Nelson Dorsey's property
south of town, where be was removed anC
remained over night.
The attack was severe one, but we ore
glad to say that his recovery has been rap
id and he is again able to be about.
We have been informed to the etfec,
that there will be grand boom in porch

The Valley Register says
"The Mcchanicstown baseball club has
challenged the Emmitsburg club to play
game for stake of $25. This last item
| is sufficient to excite the gravest apprc,
hen.on, for these rival clubs are "hoppin
mad" at each other if we are to judge
from the remarks of the Clarion and Chron
tcle, and unless they are kept apart it may
become necessary for the Governor to call
out some State troops probably the Fred,
erck Rincmen) 10 prevent q wholesale
slaughter"
Now this we declare to be wanton at
tempt to unstring the nerves OF the valiant
Rincmen and it is not right, furthermore
the Register has made a guess at the guam
tity and quality of the spinal marrow OF
the two mines IN question and has missed
it horribly. Fight Had Bro. Rhoderick
heard the din of chin on the memorable
Goth, he never could have presumed to
give the nerves Of the Rilcmcn such ter
rble shaking up on SO Slight capital As
the possibility of their saying enough to
bring about any more dire consequence
than that of saying more.
LETTER, NUMBER ONE.-On our frat
page we print the first of a number of let
,rrs by our former townsman, Mr.. 4. ).
Kecfer. As will be seen, he is Il genuine
gold digger, undergoing all Of its ricors
and we trust about to reap some Of its prof
its.
We desire 10 call attention to and cor
rect an error in the third paragraph OF
the letter The figures giving the height
at which the mine is located should be r.
600 feet, not 1890, A. printed.
We have two other letters in our posses
sion, dated July ; and 2s and have the
promise of others as they are received
We congratulate our readers and our
selves upon the good fortune of having
such well-written letters upon so interest
ing subject. They will appear regular
ly upon our first page, as received.
Remember the Gracrham picnic IN
Blacks Grove on Saturday next.
FARM PURCHAsED-Mr. G. A. Damuth
OF this place purchased on Saturday last at
public sale, the farm of the late John f.
Elder, deceased.
The farm contains 1873 acres, the price
paid was t2S per acre.
Our town does not pan out well in the
way of fine buggy teams There are some
very handsome turLOu's owned by the
young men Of our town, hut the numbers
not large. The country round about how
ever, and our nei ghbor Gracrham, furnish
rs them in large numbers and these fine
moOn-lil evenings our streets are thronYed
at times with the home and visiting teams.
In respect to the above, matters have
been reversed within our knowledge of
the town, for the time was whereof we re-
member, that little driving WAS done in our
streets by other than town teams, but OF
them their name was legion M'ra6!e,
Kuta6ile.
Notwithstanding the Chronicles opinion
of their high moral excellence, it appears
that the Emmitsburg nine msR agree to
gamble. 1t is as we thought all along
Bro. Motter in the warmness of his heart.
has had better opinion Of 1.-The boys,"
than he has been justified in holding.
But 1t just strikes us, possibly too, very
late, that we are giving great deal of
space to this matter
