Accident.

| IhC W" II iNCiS'
We are having rather cool weather.
There are forty scholars enrolled so
far.
Farmers are about finishing up their
harvest.
Politics is getting warm among the
Democratic brethren.
Many strangers visiting our place
aside from the Normal students.
The political mecca seems to lie in
the direction of Grantsyille.
Mr.. H. Richter and wife, of Chi
cago, are spending the summer here.
The fight over the postoffice here
promises to be hot, instead of warm.
Eli McMilIen, Esq, is at present
visiting friends at Mountain Lake
Park.
DR.. B. T. Keller and Hon. r. 7.
Browning passed through lately on
visit to GrantsYille.
Messrs. Miller & Co. have gone 80
feet deep at Conrad Fratz, with plen-
ty hard rock all the way down.
Rev. Pugh, who has been quite i'll
has recovered. Rev. Shoup who lately
injured his back, is around again.
A few summer bOarders have found
their way here. The business from
present aspects does not appear too
promising.
Miss Piggate, of Baltimore, lately
stopping with DIR. GlOtfelty, has
taken with her some very fine studies
of Garrett county.
German is not a boss, oh no {!
Who said he was? All the same there
seems to be an uncommon anxiety to
get down on his side of the fence.
Miss Butler, of Washington, has
introduced a new singing book by
DIR. Robinson, and is giving free in
struction to the Sabbath School schol-
arS.
Cyrus Stark, while working at
lath mill had his hand badly lacera-
ted, necessitating the removal, by DR..
Glotfelty, of the two front fingers of
the right hand.
Mechior Weller is making very ex-
tensive repairs to his grist mill. Mr..
John Bowman has undertaken part
of the job, and Mr.. Wilhelm, of AID.
Olson, Pa, will put in new machin-
cry. &c.
We can safely say that so far there
has been very little interest NANTES
ted by Republicans as regards the fall
election. There has been no confer
ences, no canvassing and no attempt
to make states.
The amount of political gossip
at1oat, just at present, would fill an
interesting volume. There is prob.
ability of serious accident yet to
some states said to have been very
carefully made.
The Normal scholars have organ
lied literary society under auspi-
ciOus circumstances. Edward Boyer,
lately from Mount Union, Ohio, is
President ; Thaddeus limbaugh, Sec
rotary. Further notice will be given.
We are much pleased with the Nor
NAL school scholars, as well as teach
ers. The gentlemen and ladies com
prising the school are creditahle
representation of the teachers of Gar
rett county. So many handsome
ladies have never before been seen on
the streets of Accident. OF course we
wish we were young again.
For the benefit of western friends
will say that the season in Garrett
has been, all things considered, a good
one. Crops are generally good. Oats
and corn promise well buckwheat
will be only moderate, it is thought.
Fruit of all kinds has been abund.
ant-peaches and cherries excepted.
Apples will be plenty generally. We
have had no destructive storms, but
rather extreme hot and cool weather.
Taxes are somewhat lower owing to
an increase in the taxable basis.
Whether the increase is fictitious and
to be returned as insolyent with in
creased taxes in the future, as has
been already intimated, we will not
pretend to say. We hope, however.
for the best, and trust that whoever
may succeed our present board OF
county commissioners will endeavor
to lift some OF the burdens of high
taxes. There seems to be a general
complaint of scarcity of money,
which is an indication of hard times
in business quarters generally.
