Our young countyman, Mr.. w. W..
Trail, son of Assessor Trail, has been

the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, in
the Navy Department, at Washington.
He is worthy young man, and we are
pleased to learn of his promotion.

until Capt. Flagg and Mr.. Locke
become we'll acquainted with their new
duties. Mr.. B. F. Leisenring, the late
postmaster, will enter into the general
prosecution of the life and fire insur-
ance business.
From the Free Press:
On Saturday last DR.. S. V. Simmons
of this town was rendered the U. ).
Treasury Agency at one ofthe Aleutlan
or Seal Fur Islands, of Alaska. The
position is one of compe rative ease to
the incumbent and has immunity from
communication with "the world and
the rest of mankind" that would charm
recluse; and the pay per annum $4,000
and travelling expenses. A distin-
guished gentleman who had made the
Island his home for a time Informed
DR.. S. that it is delightful clime-after
YOU become accustomed to it, notwith-
standing the fact that the wind travels
at the rate eff eighty miles an hour If it
has any special mission, and the sun
does not get through the fogs between
the lst of October and May. The DR..
has decided to decline-preferring the
pleasures assured under his own vine
and fig tree here to the emoluments and
honors incident to counting seal skins
during a civil service tenure.

Drowned In the Canal.-The

body of Mr.. George w. Harrison,
well-known resident of Petersville,
Frederick county, Md, was found
drowned in the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, near the Harper's Ferry bridge,
last Thursday. His horse, attached to
buggy, was also found in the water
dead. Mr.. Harrison, it is said, got into
his buggy between the hours of 10 and
IL O'Clock Wednesday night TO leave
for his home, and in attempting TO turn
his vehicle his horse backed over the
high stone wall between the canal and
bridge, with the above result. He was
about 45 years of age, and was for sew
eral years past deputy sheriff of Fred
erick county. A coroner's jury return
ed verdict of accidental death.
A singular circumstance is related in
connection with the drowning of Mr..
Harrison. He promised his wife before
leaving home that he would not, under
singular circumstances, go to Harper's
Ferry. His wife asked him not to go,
as she was afraid he might be drowned
In the high water. He laughed at the
idea, when she told him of dream she
had the night before. The vision told
her that her husband had gone 10 Har-
per's Ferry and was brought home
drowned. He then promised her that
he would not go farther than Knoxville.
After attending to some business at
Knoxville and chatting with number
of citizens, he concluded to 60 to Har-
per's Ferry. What followed is well
known. Those who have faith in dreams
will have sufficient in this to strengthen
their belief that the future Is foretold
in this mysterious manner.

Unhappy 1lr. Cleveland.

Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian,

is reported in the Augusta Chronicle as
giving the following rather pathetic pic
ture of President Cleveland:
| spent day with him short time
ago when l was in Washington, and re-
ally he presents a pathetic picture-a
strong man fighting alone great battle
to which he is pledged, ridiculed by his
enemies and doubted by his friends. He
feels his position keenly. He said to me:
81 have made mistakes; | see them,
many of them, and could kick my self
when | think about them; but | am
only human, and am as liable to err as
other men. But get no generous SYM
pathy and honest, patriotic council. All
| hear is pickering and strife and fault
finding among schemIng politicians,
who have no aim but to get themselves
and friends in office. But for the occa-
sional wave of popular endorsement

A VICTORY FOR THE ERIE MANAGEMEi

A VICTORY FOR THE ERIE MANAGEMENT.
| INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April S.-Judge Gresham
in the United States Court to-day delivered opinion
in the suit OF tho Farmers Loan and Trust Company
against the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad Company.
This was brought to forecose mortgage the limo
from Marion. Ohio to Chicago. Argument made In
Chicago week before last The Court held first. that

ment to the appointment OF receiver and not pass
Ing upon the motion.
The decision proves moro favorable to
the Eric management than had been expected. Tho
victory for the Erie company against Mr. Jewett,
the old president. appears to be positive and SUBJ
stantial. Judge Gresham's opinion is strong on the
Eric side every disputed point. The court
held that the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad was in
