CORRESPOND ENCE
OUR MUNICIPALITY.
Wants Us Washed White as Snow.

FRosrBuRe, March II, 1885.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
AS the season approaches for the
revival Of industrial activity in our
mines and other general business pur-
suits, there comes with it also the re-
currence of our municipal election,
which occurs on tho first Monday in
April next.
In the brief time that intervenes it
behooves those who take a proper
pride in our beautiful mountain town
to cast around for men suitable to fill
= for another year the responsible Offices
Of Mayor and Councilman.
Nature would seem to have exhaust
ed herself in bestewing here in the
bowels of the earth around US her ex-
haustless mineral wealth, and corpor-
ate enterprise, with herculean hand,
seems ready to put forth its best efforts
for its development. Nature, too, has
been lavish and even extravagant in
her works on the surface, piling noun
tain upon mountain in amazing and
wondrous grandeur, covering them
with forests of various and valuable
woods, and threading them with
streams Of purest water, ard a climate,
than which none in the world is more
delightful to the pleasure-seeker in the
summer, or more healtls-giving to the
infrm or invalid.
Consequently there should be no
sporadic, epidemic OF contagious
diseases. Long life, good nealth, per-
feet man and womanhood, the flush of
health in children and the strength of
limb in all, should characterize our
people as they are characterized in
ether places similarly situated. And
all that is necessary that such should
be the case is for our incoming corpor-
ate authorities to see to the proper
sanitary condition Of our town.
To the shame and disgrace of our
authorities and many of our people,
and the Inconvenience and the annoy
ance of all, during the warm weather
of summer the stencil that comes forth
from sewers and cutters and sinks,
stables, and even some business
places, followed in the fall by
malaria emanating from decay
ing animal and vegetable matter, is
enough to counterbalance all the ad-
vantages and conditions of health
vouchsafed by the bounteous hand of
Nature.
So what we need, and can now have,
is men to fill the municipal Offices who
will .ook to the proper cleansing
of our streets, lanes and alleys and see
that every occupant of premises by the
free eof lime, water and soap, keep
down the nauseous and disgusting
odors tina. have been accustomed to
emanate thcrefrom.
This done, there will doubtless fol-
low in its wake ornamentation of
yards and gardens with flowers and
vines and shrubbery and whitewash
and paint, until we have here what
Nature has done, supplemented in a
graceful and tasty way by the hand of
art. CIvIs.

Some years ago ono of Mr.. AELANp's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state Of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities OF extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LRLAND's direc-

healed the sores, removed tho swelling, and
completely restored the limb to uso.

this place, an inquiry concerning her
husband, Rev. Mr.. Fillingham. She
states that the last letter received from
him was written in Frostburg, Md,
February, 1884. Memories of him
here are indistinct, but an individual
of that name preached in the church
at Johnson's, in Garrett county, and
was several days guest of Perry
Weimer. He afterward sold books in
this vicinity. John Charles Filling
ham wrote a couple of letters to the
Cumberland Neaos some time during
last year from the county almshouse,
which attracted considerable attention.
Since that time he has faded out of sight.

conveyed to his anxious wife.

Ex-Comptroller S. Hastings Grant has re-
signed as vice-president and director of the
United States National bank of New York
city. In his letter of resignation Mr.. Grant
saws that in his mind his retirement was
made necessary by developments attending
his refusal to testify before the Gibbs COM
mittee as to his pecuniary relations with
Ferdinand Ward. He resigns because
does not wish to have the bank many whe
compromised in the affair. President Lo-
gan q. Murray of the bank says that MT.
Grants resignation was unsolicited and that
the board of directors in accepting 1t did so
with regret and had voted Mr.. Grant
quarters salary as slight testimonial Of
their regard for him. 1t was understood
that Mr.. Grants resignation was at the In
stance of Banker Morris K. Jessup, large
director i'm the bank. and by whose favor
the yice-presidency Of the institution was
given To Mr. Grant. It Is now stated by one
Of Mr. Grants friends that he admits his
mistake in refusingto tesf11y before tne
Gibbs committee. 1t created a wrong I'M

house of representatives can be counted on
to oppose suspension of the coinage Of sill

business point OF view, and as doubt con-
cernihg it produces delay in enterprises, We
are endeayoring to ascertain as near as pos.
sible the possibilities concerning the attitude
of the present congress on this question.
We find that of the 148 representatives who
voted last winter against the suspension OF
the rules in order to allow consideration of
the civil appropriation bill containing the
clause authorizing the temporary suspension
of the coinage Of the silver dollar, ninety
| five have been reelected and are members of
