Dams Rock.-While on visit to
this point Tuesday, Rev. Fathers
Schmitt, of this place, and Femme, Of
| Baltimore, met the corps of United
States Surveyors, now in this section.
One Of the officers, lately transferred
to the corps from the Far West, where
he had enjoyed ample opportunity to
view the grandeur Of mountain heights
and extensive landscapes, stated to the
reverend gentlemen his conviction
that the outlook from Dams Rock is
the West there are SUBMITS much
higher above tide, but their bases are
reached by SUGGESTIONS of wide table
lands and plateaus. Hence, the view
from the submits is not so impressive
as one is led to imagine from attitudes
given. AT Dams Rock, however, with
a height of 3,l00 feet, tho sharp, de-
clivity upon the eastern side, stretch
ing beyond the Potomac, one is struck
with the sublimity of vast height and
depth. The eye ascends the mountains
beyond the Potomac, overshoots its
summit and ranges away across other
elevations until the horizon bounds
the inspiring scene. But little less
interesting is the view northward and
southwark, while westward the broad
plateau which fills the Great Savage
parallel affords comparatively little
contrast between apparent levels. 1t
is perhaps fortunate that the survey
ing party visited the Rock, as it will
undoubtedly show up well upon their
maps. In comparison one of them
remarked, ''Pen Mar is small affair"
The Rock, therefore, needs to be
known abroad; needs to be advertised
and shown to all strangers who come
among us. Keyser's Ridge, in Garrett
county, has been understood as the
highest range on the National Road,
yet Dams Rock is 257 feet above.
Deer Park and Oakland have each for
years obtained immense patronage
upon the strength of exaggerated al
titudes Dams Rock is more than 600
feet above Deer Park and $50 above
Oakland. Over 300 feet above Frost
burg and 1900 above Cumberland, the
denizens of the latter city especially
can well account for the radical diff
ference Of temperature between the
base and summit.
These figures emphasize the import
ance Of bringing our great outlook be-
fore the public. They suggest that
measures should be taken toDeautify
the spot and improve the approaches.
Some influential interest should be
sought looking to a profitable develop
ment Of the place as point of resort.
With our own growing Importance as
a summer residence for city people the
summit is of peculiar moment to Frost
burg. Among tho changes that should
be made is that Of name. In these
poetic times Dams Rock is barbar-
ism. How would our readers like

July 10
Communicated

"A Grand Picnic,
ITO be held July 22d, is announced by the
L Arion Band of Frostburg, and, as usual,
the people of Frostburg are invited to turn out
en- n'aSse and bring their dollars and cents to
make the Picnic financial success.
What is it all for? Has not the Arion Band
all it needs-bright uniforms and shining in
struments?
The various bands that have formed and
disbandcd during the last ten or twelve years
have been q dead and more than useless ex-
pensc to the community. Fairs and picnics
have been held to raise money in order to
purchase uniforms and instruments. The
Arion Band has formed no exception to the
rule. They bought their instruments and
uniforms with the money of the people.
So far the citizens of Frostburg might have
kept silent. But when ii is reported that all
the bands Of the county have formed a union
and agreed among themselves not to play ex-
cept for the consideration of fifty dollars,
matters look brassy indeed.
If the citizens of Frostburg cannot have
music unless they pay for it, it is but right
and Just that bands now in existence or FORM
ing hereafter should pay for their own brass
and uniforms.
Too much brass filling the air!

Reading and Recreation Club
About fifty persons have signified their
intention to become members of the
proposed Reading and Recreation
club. This number is deemed sufi-
ciont to organize. The chairman of
the last meeting, Mr.. F. C. Beall,
therefore calls another meeting to be
held in Mr.. PurnelFs school-room I'M
der old Odd Fellows Hall, next Thurs
day evening at $50 o'clock. The OBJ
ject of the meeting will be to organize,
adopt constitution, elect permanent
officers and make necessary arrange
ments for future work. AS there is a
probability that the initiation fee will
be raised after organization is effected,
those desiring to become members will
find it to their interest to join at once.
All persons, whether signers or not,
are requested to attend.

The Weather.-Tuesday was ST..
Swithin's day, called from the con-
lessor, bishop and patron of Winches-
ter in the year S62. 1t is a common
adage that as it rained or was fair on
this day continuous track Of wet or
dry weather would follow for forty
days ensuing. The following lines ex-
plain the strength of the impression
then existing in the public mind:
''St. Swithins day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
st. Swithin's day, if thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae MAR"
From this it would appear that there
is wet season ahead.
The JOURNAL will, however, go nc
farther than Wednesday next, about
which time windy or stormy weather
is indicated. '5
