The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-08-29

"A warrant was issued Saturday
last by Esquire Gender for the arrest
of Joseph Helbig and John Bel, both
of Oakland, charged on oath of A.
Laughlin, telegraph operator at
Mountain Lake Park, with assault
and battery with intent to kill. The
assault was made on the previous
evening. They have so far eluded
arrest.
The following is not ours, but
our sentiments exactly: "If you
have an item of news, an item with
no faint of abuse, an item that's kind
well stored in your mind, let ii go 10
the press. it's always of use. Hoard
your dollars and cents; prize your
home for its sacred contents, hoard
your malice and hoard your spite,
never talk crooked when your can
talk right. But above all, when the
news man is around, tell him where
an item is found. Or better still jot
it down and promptly send it around,
the printer will be pleased to type
it,"
Mr.. Nathaniel Bell Harvey, of
Ryan's Glade, Garrett county, has
been the father of fifteen children,
eleven of whom are living. Mrs.
Harvey, his wife, is one of the finest
Christian characters we have ever
met. Her robust, cheerful pIety is SO
attractive that it is quite a treat to sit
down and converse with her. A few
years ago, while she was spending a
night some distance from her home
her house was burned to ashes, to-
gether with all her furniture. A
messenger was despatched to break
the sad news to her. 1t was espe-
cially sad for the reason that it was
new house which herself and husband
had labOred hard to rear as shelter
for their old age. When the news
was told her, she asked if her hus-
band and children were safe, learning
which fact she appeared cheerful and
contented. On reaching the spot she
found her husband almost in state
of despair. Said she, "Cheer up,
Nathan, and trust the Lord. He will
help us to get another home" We
had the pleasure of spending Il night
in comfortable house built on the
site of the one destroyed. They be-
lieved the Lord helped them, and We
believe so tOO.-BGLtO. Field Record.
