WHEREAS, Great complaint has arisen from
illegal arrests by so-called deputy constables
and unnecessary expense incurred to the
county in prosecutions Of persons in several
cases when single case would answer the
ends of justice; therefore be it
Ordered, By the board of county COM
missioners Of Allegany county, That here
after no fees shall be allowed constable for
services OF warrants by deputies and the
constabies, when presenting bill for pay
ment, shall be required to certify under oath

Personal. j. T. Engleby, of
Roanoke, Va, paid the JOURNAL
visit Wednesday. He is the guest of
his father-in-law, William Staples.
Joseph Bear returned from Balti
more Monday last. On Sunday, Doth
ult., he was betrothed to Miss Bertha
Hamburger, daughter of H. Ham
burger, wholesale tobacconist of that
city. During the afternoon and the
entire week succeeding congratulations
and calls were received, the latter
numbering over five hundred. Among
the former was a cable dispatch from
an uncle of the prospective bride in
Europe. The consummation of this
happy arrangement will probably take
place in January next, Joseph's many
friends meanwhile enjoying ample
opportunity to felicitate him upon his
joyous undertaking.
Mrs. Henry C. Mann, of Allegheny
city, Pa, was the guest of F. C. Beall
Wednesday.
Hon. A. j. Colborn, of Somerset Pa,
was among his many friends in Frost
burg this week.
Will H. Schlumpf, of Sewickley,
Allegheny county, Pa, is visiting the
family of George Ort and other
friends.
Marx Wineland arrived in New
York from Europe Tuesday afternoon,
and in Frostburg yesterday morning.
He reports a delightful trip, barring
some sea-sickness returning.
The Schools.-The public schools
opened Monday unusually we'll.
At Bowery A. W. Dewitt began with
a crowded school.
So also Mr.. Browning at Grahamton.
Miss Kate Bath opened school at
Sand Spring, succeeding Miss Mollie
Farrady, transferred to Frostburg No.
l. The latter lady has been i'll during
the week. She hopes to be able to
resume work Monday.
J. W. Hunt succeeds j. A. Smith at
Borden mines.
At No. much embarrassment has
been caused by the absence of two
teachers, while under the new arrange
ment the principal is required to teach
entirely room himself. 1t was thus,
he says, very difficult to properly grade
and examine pupils. This difficulty,
it is hoped, will be removed. The
attendance, however, has been greater
than at any previous opening week in
the history of the school.
Two rooms, the sixth and second
grades, have been refitted with hand
some new desks, making four rooms
now equipped with new and modern
furniture.
The private schools of Miss Helen
Berkey and Clayton Purnell opened
this week with satisfactory enrolments.
Pu6ticattons.-Each new number of
the Dorcas Magazine is such a marked
Improvement upon its predecessor.
that after looking back upon Dorcas
for September, 1885, the present num-
Der appears vastly superior. In it we
have a long article on Crewel Work,
in which the writer tells something of
its history and how it may be most
effectively performed. 1t may seem
strange that bits of old lace curtains,
gilded and transferred to plush, can
be made to look like heavy gold en-
broidery yet the success of the pro-
cess is vouched for by Dorcas. In the
article on Table Decorations a great
many good suggestions are given for
decorating the dinner table with
flowers, fruit, growing plants and
colored lights, in various ways; and
then follow papers on Canadian lace.
Home Decoration, and the making of
many new and inexpensive ornaments
and necessities for the benefit of the
younger generation which is more in
terested in such fancy work than in
the excellent designs for knitting and
crochet, for which Dorcas is unrivaled.
