Only Partial Paralysis.

From the Frederick Daily News
On last Wednesday three young Frederick
dudes, who had been kept on ice during the
summer, received an invitation to a Westmin-
lister German. So resolving to paralyze the
Westminster bellies, they HE'D them to Hop
Sings and ordered three Nonpariel shirts
and collars laundried a la mode. Itwas done
and the owners, in due time called to get the
boiled lineni but one having lost his check
the detachment was regarded with suspicion
by the almoneyed mongol. Identification set
them Alright however, and packing the three
shirts and collars in Saratoga the trio left
by the P. R. R., but unfortunately forgot to
check their wardrobe. The conductor was
importuned to return for the trunk but re-
fused and without it they were obliged to pay
their hotel bill in advance at Westminster and
go to the German as ordinary beings, They
returned home sad and wise, resolving that
next time nothing short Of a six months resi-
dence would constitute provooation for 40
cepting an invitation to German.

On Monday afternoon Mr.. Joseph Cover,

had come to Westminster on the 1873 train to
sign the collective notice for the September

sat down on the steps of Mr.. Wesley Matthias.
Attention was soon attracted to him, for he
fell over and was seized with violent retching.
He was found TO be unconscious, and was re-
moved to the residence of his cousin, Mr..
Samuel Cover, just opposite where he sat
down. Drs. Herring and Shaw were sum

tremely ill. Her remains were inferred on
Tuesday in the family burying ground on the
Gist homestead, near this city, where the re.
mains of many of her relatives have reposed

dria, Va, her former pastor. who received
her into the church and performed the cere-
mony at her wedding less than Il year ago,
conducted the last sad rites at her funeral.
Under the sod we have laid her,
HalloWed chamber of rest:
Shut are the dear eyes. and folded
The hands on her calm, quiet breast;
Still are the feet that moved ever
On errands of mercy and grace:
But her spirit is radiant in glory
And JOY ever beams from her face.

James Searle is the "boss'' at Groves ore
bank, adjoining Chestnut Hill ore bank. near
Ebbvale, in Manchester district. Among the
workmen under Searle was j. Wesley Fri
dinger, between whom there has been bad
feeling, at least on the part of Fridinger.
Searle recently was directed by his employers
to keep expenses within the amount of re-
ceipts for ore. He generally works from
twelve to eighteen hands, but he reduced the
number to three to comply with instructions.
Fridinger, it is said, has been finding fault
with Searie for some time, and on Tuesday
morning last they had an open. quarrel. 1t
originated, it is alleged, about the discharge
of hand, though it is asserted that old scores
had something to do with it. The affair
wound up with Fridinger attacking Searle with
a gun. hitting him twice on the back with the
butt end, and making threats to kill him if he
did not get across the border into Pennsyl-
yania. These are the allegations made be-
fore Justice G. W. Crapster by Mr.. Searle on
Wednesday, whereupon warrants for trl-
dinger's arrest we're issued to Constable John
Haines. Fridinger was not home when the
constable called on Wednesday, but he came
here on Thursday and gave bail to keep the
peace. and also for hearing, on the charge
of assault with intent to kill, next Wednesday.
