ReIf0fous.--Rev. J. M. O'Brien, pas
tor of st. Mary's Catholic Church,
Homecoming, has discontinued his pas
torate on account Of i'll health, much
to the regret of his parish, and, in
fact, of all who know him. Before
leaving his friends raised purse of
5000. The presentation was genuine
surprise to him. Our informant states
that for the first time in his life Mr..
O'Brien found himself unable to meet
the demands of the occasion. He
parts with his charge reluctantly.
His physical disabilities make the sep
aration imperative.

Wright has been returned to the pas
torate of the NJ. E. Church of Frost

quite agreeable to his large congrega-
ton,
Rev. A. NJ. Cackley, of the NJ. E.

Local A6airs IN the Legislature.

ANNAPOLIS. March 13, 1884.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The Local Option bill for Allegany county
was taken up yesterday read the third time
upon its passage, and defeated, receiving but
80 votes; 80 cast in opposition. Not obtaining
the constitutional majority, which is 46, it
failed to pass the House. The friends of the
bill will make desperate effort to have the
vote reconsidered Mr.. Grove claimed in his
opposing remarks that only the republicans
i'll Al!egany wanted the bill, and that it would
be detrimental to the democratic party if it
should pass, thereby creating strong OPPOSE
ton to the measure. William NJ. Price has
been working in behalf of the bill, but he has
such men as Coz. Spates, Henry Rehs, Daniel
Webster and James Clark against him.
The appointments for Allegany county have
not been confirmed, as there appears to be op-
position to some of the registrars of voters
lately nominated.
The bill relating to the division line between
Allegany and Garrett counties has been forced
through the House, although it has been OPP
posed at every available point by the Allegany
delegation.
Senator Getty, reported by the Cumberland
Ncps as dead, is improving and expected to be
able to occupy his seat III a few days. CNo.

Stabbime Afafr.-Some excitement
was raised Saturday evening last
about 81 o'clock by an affray on the
corner of Main and Broadway. 1t
appears that James SIN it'll, fourteen
years old, son of James =. Smith, and
James Dean, thirteen years old, son of
Francis Dean, had some trouble, and
in the melee which followed Smith
stabbed Dean three times-near the
ear, upon the chin and in the side.
Dean was taken home and on Sunday
some fear was felt that the side wound
was fatal. AT the hearing Monday
before Justice Moat, DR.. J. J. Jones
testified that thu ear and chin wounds
were slight; that in the side showed
that the blade had struck rib and
glancing along, had inflicted a flesh
cut of two inches. He did not think
the abdominal cavity had been pene-
trated, and therefore regarded the
injury as one which did not as vet
warrant appehensions. Justice Moat
held Smith in the sum of three hun
dred dollars for appearance before the
next grand jury, and bond was given
accordingly. Dean is recovering.

Contemplated Inprocements.-Th
alley between the two buildings of the
Grand Central Hotel will be bridged
at an early date by an archway sup
porting structure which will contain
four additional chambers. Mr.. Payne,
proprietor, will also build large ad-
dition during the spring to his main
building, which will afford many more
conveniences and accommodations.
The large brick addition to Mr.. B.
Stern's new building will go up rapidly,
the work awaiting only favorable
weather. Other improvements will
be added and in good time "Stern's
Block" will be one of the most hand
some and valuable properties in Frost
burg.
John J. Keller has divided his store
room into two apartments. That upon
the east side he will occupy himself !;
the west room has been rented by
George Ort, who will open a grocery
store about April LIST.
The English Lutheran congregation
have determined to complete the spire
of their church editice, and work will
be commenced early as practicable.
The brick tower Is about rs feet high !;
when the spire is added the whole will
measure about 125 feet from base to
summit.
The contracts fer all the work refer
red to above were awarded to Messrs.
Duggan & Griffith and johnson Bros,
whose accustomed energy warrants
quick and complete fulflment.
In addition the latter have on hand a
large job for themselves, at home, on
the National pike, four miles west of
Frostburg. The foundations for res
idence 40X40 feet, and a rear ad-
dition 1SX30, have been laid. The
main building will be three-story
Mansard; the addition two stories.
The location is fixed Immediately in
rear of the present residence. When
completed the latter will be torn down.
This Improvement, taken in connection
with the recent erection of splendid
barns, clearing of lands, stump pulling,
ETC., will erelong make the Johnson
estate one of the finest in Western
Maryland.

this must be done in time for the present

4 Tariff Coltoquy.-A corr espondent
of the Baltimore Sun gives the follow
ing spicy dialogue in connection with
an account of the hearing given by the
Congressional Committee on Ways and
Means to Messrs. C. F. Mayer, S. S.
Lee and others:
The hearing was enlivened by little scene
between Judge Kelley and Mr.. Lee. In the
course of his remarks the latter made strong
plea for the miners, and he came in their
behalf
Mr.. Morrison said:
mo, you came to look for your profits"
Mr.. Lee replied:
I'VE only want a little; We don't want ev-
erything, as they do in Pennsylvania.
This remark seemed to offend Judge Kelley,
and he at once took Mr. Lee to task:
That was an unwarranted fling at Penn
sylvania. When you come here again remem-
Der that the man who pleads for one interest
and kicks another is not loyal to the cause y
By those who know Dir. Lee it is pre-
sumed he "cawn't" help it.

The Skating Rtnk.-Another enjoy
able evening was spent by large
number in Paul's Opera House last
Saturday. The rink will be open this
evening.
Aprepos, the Washington (Pa.) Re
porter says ''Mr. Porter and sister are
making the roller rink in the Town
Hall quite popular resort for our
young people, and the older ones, who
go as spectators. Thursday evening
Prof. W. J. Davis favored the audience
with some of his gymnastic exercises
on skates. Mr.. Davis is an excellent
skater and brought down the house
several times while performing some
Of the most difficult feats. The Wash
ington Cornet Band furnished some of
their best music, adding in this way to
the already delightful entertainment"
''Zampilacrostationist' is the latest
professional name given to the roller
skater. This adds considerable danger
to the exercise, for if one falls ON the
spinal syllable it will pulverize every
sinew in his body, and raise the j;.ni-
tors wages or cents week for
sweeping out bone-dust.
Adolphus wore his breeches tight;
Of this he did not think
When he put on the roller-skates
To show off at the rink.
His first adventure was the last
He'll put on skates no more:
He tried to kick the roof all in,
And sat down on the floor
When Dolphy dropped the girls all laus ;hed--
1t was an awful fall
And when they had their backs all tut ned,
He backed up 'gainst the wall;
He called friend, took off the skates,
And, giving him the wink
Said-"Jim, lend me that long-tailed coat
l want to leave the rink
