1t is due to number of those voted
for that they either declined running
or their names were used without their
knowledge. Undoubtedly Mr.. Bealrs
vote was materially reduced by his
statement to several that he "would

The triumph was won by the joint
efforts of the workers in the interests
of the regular republican and "Fire-
men s" tickets.

business, conservative in every respect,
and will undoubtedly make a safe
officer.
Messrs. Morgan and Grose are mi
ners; Thomas a merchant Logsdon
butcher; Raley a carpenter, and

views, and doubtless favorable to an
economical administration.
Messrs. Wright, Raley, Logsdon and
Knode have had some experience as
members Of former Councils.

latest craze in London. In the literary
department are reviews of those books
OF the previous month which relate to
or are written by women. Special at
tentlon should be attracted to the ex-
quisite designs in knitting and crochet,
which have the unique feature Of
being reliable, as the directions are
written by one experienced knitter and
followed by another before they are
printed in the magazine. The Dorcas
certainly recommends itself to women
who have the useful employment of
spare moments and the beautifying of
their homes at heart. One dollar q
year, or 10 cents copy. Address the
Dorcas Magazine, Broadway, New York.
One of our best exchanges is the
Graphic News, of Cincinnati, ac-
knowledged by many to be the hand
soonest paper in the country, while
negotiations with leading authors, Just
concluded, promise to make it mcst at
tractive in a literary sense. The latest
announcement in reference to it, and
one that presages much rich reading
matter for its patrons, IS to the effect
that that drollest of humorists, Bill
Nye, and A. C. Wheeler (Nym
Crinkle), one Of the most entertaining
and pungent writer's of the day, are to
be regular contributors hereafter to its
columns. A rare treat in both illus
tratlve and art sense will be given the
public by that Journal ia its issue of
April 10th, when it will present an
exact reproduction of the famous
"Peachblow" vase, about which there
has been so much conflict amongst
connoisseurs, and which sold at the
recent Morgan sale, in New York, for
200. The picture will be of the
same size and color of the original,
necessitating FIVE impressions, and will
be magnificent affair. 1t will be
fine colored supplement on plato
paper.

the passage of a colony of wild geese

1t is reliably stated that the Con-
solidation coal company have ordered
from Wales large quantity of coal in
order to fill contracts to supply vessels
trading on our coasts. On coal used
for such purposes drawback is al
lowed, so that the cost of importation
is considerably lessened and the COM

contracts without Il very heavy loss.
The first lot of this coal, about $500
tons, has arrived in New York.

largely to the fullest vote Monday ev er
polled at town election in Frostburg.
The contests growing out of several
personal aspirations helped also to
swell the poll--all in the face of spell
of the most inclement weather of the
winter. The workers were on hand
early and staid late, while the voters
fell in at all hours between 9 a. m.
and 6 p. m. There were about four
tickets in the field-''Firemen's," "Re-
publican" "Citizens" and one that
might have been termed Acephalous.
The contest of the day was between
the two first named, ending, strange
to say, in triumph for each.
