GHOSTS IN a SILVER MINE.-Two
men prowling around in the Balti-
more mine at American Flat got
scared nearly ont of the township by
a queer sight In an old drift. They
went into the mine for the purpose
of seeing whether there was ore
enough in sight to proftably extract
Oh tribute. Climbing into a slope,
they heard the click of hammers, and
were much surprised, as they suppos-
ed no one had been there for years.
Following up the sound they were
astonished to see two striking ham
mers hard at work on the head of a
rusty drill, which was being deity
turned by unseen hands, and, though
not soul in sight but themselves,
they heard lively conversation,
but could make out no words. They
looked and listened for some minutes
when fear took hold of them and they
got out of the mine quickly. At the
toll-gate they related their experience
and were laughed at, but to prove

The Frostburg JOURNAL laments
the shortsigtedness of the citizens of
that town in their rejection of the
water scheme. 1t was a case of elev-
en- obstinate jurymen. The JOURNAL
was awake in the interest of the
public and deserves credit for the con-
slstency with which it advocated its
cause. The people refused to fol-
low where the JOURNAL led, and SO
both strangers and citizens for some
time to come will have to refresh
themselves with Milwaukee water,
which is quite plentiful in that town.

yet appointed at Parkersburg.
Public school No. is being extern
sively decorated. The principal has
been largely aided by the generosity
and public spirit of C.. F. Nickel, the
furniture man, and Rogers, the artist.

of young ladies and gentlemen every
week. Miss Stewart is making this
department of the school great sue

seminaries and high schools can be
taught in this department it would

appreciated by our people.
