Please allow space in your paper
for short notice of the closing exer-
cises of the Mason School, which, af-
ter one of the most pleasant terms
ever taught here, closed on Friday,
Feb. oath. The school closed one
week earlier than the rest, as the
teacher and patrons thought best to
continue the school through the Hol-
idays, on account of measles which
were raging in adjoining neighbour
hoops al that time, and by keeping
the school open and the scholars to-
gether not one case occurred in the
school, while all other schools were
closed on account of them. The ex-
animation was one Of the best ever
given here by any teacher, and Mr..
VIM. B. Hutson, the teacher, de-
serves great credit for the most excel
lent and efficient manner in which
he conducted his school, all scholars
showing marked improvement in all
studies, and especially does his class
eS deserve credit for the excellent ex-
aminatiOns they passed in geogra-
ply. The House was filled by the
parents of the children anG all were
pleased beyond expectation at their
progress. The teacher supplied the
children with bountiful treat, con-
sisting OF candy, peanuts and apples,
after which speeches were made by
many, prominent among which were
the teacher. III. G. Sanders and b.
f. Shaffer. Music was furnished by
Prof. S. j, Yutzy. A pleasant and
profitable day was spent by all.

Another Ord Citizen Gone.

Garrett county has lost one of
its oldest, most respected and virtu-
Gus citizens, in the death of Major
Philip burst, on the 29th of Febru-
airy, 1888, at his home in Smooth VAL
ley, near Grantsyille, at the mature
age of seventy-one. He was consid-
erately buried at the Old BlOcher
Cemetery, near by, among his anceS-
tors, who first came to this vicinity
over a century ago. He had been in
falling health and strength for some
months, and his vitality was too far
wasted to endure the rugged winter,
yet lingering. He had been expect
lug death and often spoke of it, and
which he did not fear. The Major
had been WidOwer since 1870, his
deceased wife being once the widow
of the late Peter Yeast. He left no
children, Always led a very quiet
and retired life, perfectly inotfenslYe
and harmless throughout. Honest,
upright and pure in all his dealings
and ways. By nature, more than
cultivation, an old fashioned gentle
man, which no decent man could fail
to see and respect. Not robust in in
tellect, yet intelligent, discreet and
judicious, and his system of life USE
full and agreeable to those with whom
he had intercourse. He will be very
much missed, especially on account
of his extensive amount of personal
and local information and recolec.
lions. In land matters, as to loca.
tions, lines and boundaries, he was
an excellent reference. But there is
none left to fill his place.

A Good Remedy for Burns.

Many remedies at one time or an
other haye been proposed for the
surgical condition following the ap-
plication for excessive heat to the
body, and, while some of these are of
value, all are more or less unsatiSfac-
tory. The alienation of the pain
and suffering attendant upon burns
is one of the most important points
in the case toward which the surgeon
directs his efforts. The shock from
this cause alone is sufficient, often
times. to produce death, and always
is great. Accidentally, ! recently
discovered a remedy which is easily
applied and exceedingly prompt in
its action. l was called in some haste
to little child, about three weeks
ago, who was badly burned about the
hands and face from falling Oh hot
stove. The burns were deep, the
pain excessive and the shock very
! considerable. sent to the drug store
| for mixture of lime water, olive oil
and carbolic acid. While waiting for
this, [ prepared to give the child a
hypodermic injection of morphine,
with which to aliay the agony, which
was so great that commissions seemed
imminent. While [ was getting
ready to do this, | espied upon the
shelf bottle of Canada balsam (col-
orless). Remembering its wonderful
soothing influence in acute infama-
ton, | at once concluded to try it,.
Taking corner of soft handker-
chief | rapidly painted the injured
parts, when, like magic, the pain
ceased. You can we'll imagine my
surprise and delight at the result. l
directed q camel's hair brush to be
purchased, and had the mother make
free applications, and the case had no
more treatment, save little i0do-
form, later on. Since this. | have
tried it in several cases, both slight
and severe, and with the same de.
lightful results.
This valuable remedy should be in
the house of every man in the land,
it will save suffering and possibly
life.

Randall's Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-There is
no longer any doubt of the position
OF ME- Randall. He will not only
oppose the tariff bill of Mr.. Mills,
buthe will oppose it with zest.
Randall was invited, with a good
piany other leaders of the Democratic
party, to present his views to the
Democratic members of the commit
tee. He did not accept this invita-
ton, but he has consulted with
Republican leaders and with the
immediate Representatives of the
protective industries. 1t is in accord
ance with the suggestion received
from some of them that he has
framed his bill so that it will not in
terfere with the great protective in
dustrial schedules. In fact, he pro-
poses practical increase in some
respects. Instead of putting tin plate,
for instance, on the free list, it is un-
derstood that he fixes duty of two
cents a pound thereon. He has also
so arranged the cotton and wooden
schedules that they will receive the
cordial support of the manufacturers.
He proposes not to have his bill
given to the public until after the
meeting of the committee, but its
features are generally known. He
proposes to effect a reduction in the
revenue of about SSO,OOO,0OO on the
basis of the receipts of the last fiscal
