is our Aim and the programme OF the
evening did honor to the motto. This
Is running program Of the occasion:
''rhe Investigating Committee" A
young lady applied to the committee
for school, but the committee was full
ly satisfied that she wanted husband
and not school. Nicely rendered.
'"The maidcn's Prayer" Feelingly
petitioned.
"The Lovers Sacrifice This was the
case of lover who preferred his beard
to winning the hand of a fair young
lady.
"rhe May Queen" Though the bree-
zes were icy, this scene made the audi
ence feel like it was surrounded by
banks Of violets and beds of roses.
"Come Where the Violets Bloom"
We all felt like we would cheer
fully 90.
"Al's Fair in Love and War"
Two fellows were in love with the
same girl. One was taken and the
other left. She was won by strategy.

-Four drunkards gambling away the
bread Of their wives and children; a sa-
loon keeper dealing ont tn, deadly
poison; and little angel beautifully
singing ''uon't, don't break any more
hearts" The scene was very touch
ing; and IIortcnsc Maudin, with her
hand softly resting in the hand OF one
of the drunkards, swectly acted her
part so we'll. The greater portion OF
this piece was written by Mrs. LaRue.
and it does much credit to her dramat-
ic taste.
The entertainment closed with Il
beautiful tablcau scene. in which the
brilliant calcium light fell gracefully
upon pretty and lovely girls, calling
forth the admiration and praise OF all.
The whole thing was success and
reflects much credit upon the Society
and College. May there be many

There were quite runaway scrape
on Main st. Oh Tuesday afternoon last.
The horse Of IT.. "A. Moon exercised
himself against the buggy to which he
was attached, kicked the dashboard off,
broke the harness and extricated him

No one Of them was seriously hurt.
Mr.. Barton sustained slight injuries in
his egress from the vehicle.
Post Office Inspector, Ben. Simp-
son, paid our town a visit on Saturday
last. The burglars who entered the
Easley y. O. on the night of the 4th of

when such slfrcwd detectives as Mr..
Simpson, aided by our wide-awake p.
NJ, get on track they will down the
guilty rascals sure and certain. The
burglars are all known and had better
look out.
We had the pleasure of attending
the entertainment given by the CALI
crenian Literary Society. of the Pied
mont Institute, in the Chapel Of the
building, on Friday evening last. The
students acquitted themselves nicely.
and fully deserved the patronage which
they received. Their success is due to
the pride which they take in these ell
tcrtanmcnts in committing their res
t'cctivc parts to q perfect memory, and
to the careful study Of the delivery of
the same.

provision for your relief7 The Frost
burg Water Company has every year
the ill-feeling and disgust of our peo-
pie. The reduction Mr.. Sprigg makes
to the consumers of his water, added
to the ill-feeling, ought to instigate
him to invest $4,000 to build an ad-
dltional reservoir or enlarge the pre-
sent one SO as to hold three months
supply. 1t would pay him better than
running the chance of losing the works
altogether. No honest man wishes to
vote for mortgaging his or his neigh
boris property for any purpose; he will
not do it if he can help it. But if his
health, his comfort, his property and his
business is at stake he has to do some
thing and has tke future to ask to help
paying the balance. A CONSUMER.

CORRESPONDENCE


FRosrBuRG; Oct. /, 1884
To the MINING JOURNAL.
We often hear that the elements
work in different directions at the
same time. We also know that from Il
certain summit in Garrett county a
part of the water runs into the Atlantic
Ocean and the other into the Gulf Of
Mexico, and from Il certain summit
on the Rocky Mountains water runs
into the Gulf of Mexico and part into
the Pacific-but that is all down hill.
You never heard that water runs up
hill. Still that is the case with the
Frostburg water supply. Mr.. Sprigg
visits his works almost every week.
The famished folks always breathe
free when he makes his appearance
with his water or air-tight satchel in
his hands. Some think he brings d
supply of water with him others that
he has the whole Water Company in
it, and they are afraid that in the near
future some legal air might get into
the satchel, and burst it, killing or in
juring somebody.
But Mr.. Sprigg is always in good
humor and is not alarmed. He, it is said,
offers reward of 5000 to any one who
can find water at this time of the year
upon the mountain. There are some
citizens here who will show where the
lost water is, and it is strange that
both parties cannot come to an un Ter.
standing about the 5000. Negotiations
in that direction it seems have not
started. Meanwhile the people get
dry wells and springs give out; the
bottomwater is not healthy and if a
fire should break out. no water to put
it out. The people are naturally OPP
posed to up hill cork. Nature has
given this community the chance of
getting good, healthy and plenty of
water by natural power (pressure)

steam power, and the expense con-

There is the same ostensible stag
nate appearance about the bitumin-
Gus branch of the coal trade. Moth
ing can be learned of "a novel charac-
ter because there is nothing new in
the business worthy of mention.
Prices remain as low as before, and
coal is moving eastward in quanti-
ties as heretofore reported.-Shenan-
doah (Pa) Mining Herald.
Nea0 York.-As for bituminous
Goals it is almost needless to say
sales continue to be made of certain
grades at very low figures but at the
same time some Of the best grades
have brought better prices than have
generally ruled for some time.-Min-
ing Record. ='
There is very quiet tone to the
soft coal trade, and we see no features
of interest apart from what has been
so often stated.-Coal Trade Journal
Low rates and low prices general
ly continue to be the feature Of the
business.
Philadephla.-The bituminous
trade is without interest, as usual.
There is an active improvement on
last springs contracts, bnt nothing
of importance is done in the way Of
business. Prices have not changed,
and can not we'll goany lower.
Boston.-The same quiet state Of
affairs exists with respect to the Bit
luminous trade. 1t is doubtful
whether there will be the usual mum.
Der of contracts by December LIST.
Certainly little Or nothing is looked

PARTLY by way of diversion from
the water question we observe that
the Public School trustees of Cum
berland speak of it as "Georges

allusion, however, is to call brother

quoted, so that he may have the usual
correction made before it becomes
engrafted in our system of popular
instruction.

How 1T WILL WoRk.-When the
Water Bond measure carries, the
works are Constructed and everything
working nicely, it will be difficult to
find a man who voted against it.
When it fails and a big fire comes
along, which, for the want of water,
destroys about $4,000 worth of prop
erty and drives the last vestige of IN
surance out of town, it will be harder
to discover one who will say-"Ye s,
