to my sex.-Frostburg correspondent Of the
Cumberland Ncrs.
Amen,
For the sake of the tender half OF
humanity the JOURNAL reioices.
1t accepted with great reluctance
the statement that Il known nOn-sub-
scriber and, of course, non-reader of
the JoUaN AL, could be so well post
ed as to the JOURNALS attitude to-
ward (not "the young lady teachers
of Frostburg') but the public school
management of this county. 1t
could hardly believe that even gen
tleman would take our labor with
out paying for it-a lady never, -es-
pecially one Of either sex whose nose
turned upward in flaming sarcasm at
the luminous idea that the JOURNAL
is getting anything for nothing. In
such cases virtue ought to be its own
punishment.
But this correspondent continues:
For one, too who has been assailing the
young lady teachers of Frostburg for years
past, his assumption of chivalric principles
will be duly discounted. My little, quiet,
gentle, unobtrusive observation of last week
as to the thoroughly eupeptic powers of the
JOURNALS stomach for the digestion of the
levy pudding was only to see how even a
feather applied to bad stonebruise can make
the owner (not of the feather vince. The
experiment was success.
The JOURNAL came very near
printing the observation at one time
that the advent Of its long time
friend, Buckley, to the staff of the
NeWs was as much an improvement to
the correspondence Of that paper as
to the editorial. But it did not
print it and will hot. Buckley would
never write, either as editor or for a
correspondent, that stomach enrich
ed with "eupeptic powers" could be
endowed also with "a bad stonebruise." "
He might liken "little, quiet, gen
tie, unobtrusive observation to ga
feather" but he would never work
the ''feather' in the region of the
"eupeptic powers hunting for a
deep seated sore peculiar to the sole
Of man. Nor would he permit such
"experiment" to be called "a success"
The ''young lady teachers OF Frost
burg" should shout to their new
championship up.
The JOURNAL would say it for
them if the correspondent had not
printed the following paragraph in
the same letter. AS the matter
stands the JOURNAL wants him tC
continue:
The JOURNAL establishment is now in Capi'
tai shape, the latest improvement being the
connection of all the job presses with the
motive power, an excellent gas engine.

Christmas Is Coming.

Christmas Is COminO.-A few mcm-
ora6ilia go out in the paper this week
with view of getting some returns
for use in the purchase of such holiday
merchandise as is indispensable to
the JOURNAL as an individual. 1t has
been spending so much as paper that
it finds itself exceedingly minus, now
that it wants something for that part
of its constitution scripturally demon:
mated "the inner man." So that those
only to whom this appeal lies will fill
a long felt want if they respond to the
intimations thrown out by our remind
ers. Don't put it off, for as Lord Mel
son said in a case of emergency
England expects every man to do his
duty, and then We'll all have good
time" History lops off the last clause,
but the JOURNAL puts it where it be-
longs, because it fits the pending case.

DEMONSTRATING the Buffalo.

:. l.. Bedson, of Manitoba. has been
experimenting with the intcrbrerding
of bison since 1878. He tells his cx-
p%cricnce in the following narrative:
In 1879 | purchased five buffalo
calves. one hull and four llcifers, for
which l paid $1,000. From that start
| have SO pure-blood bulls, IS pure
blood cows. S l,alf-brccds. 6 three
quarter breeds. and rs head presented
to different persons. The lalf-brceds
are very prolific. The cows drop Il
calf annually. They are also very
hardy indeed. as they take the i'll
stinct of the buffalo during Il blizzard
and storms, and do not drift like nat
tive cattle; they remain upon the open
prairie during our scycrcst winters.
while the thermometer ranges from
80 to 40 degrees below zero, with lit
tie or no food except what they rus
tied on the prairie, and no shelter ut
all. They are always in good order

The farmers of Stark county should
not neglect such an important matter

losses of last fall are still fresh i'm
the memory of all and should serve
us Il warning i'm the matter. The sea-
Sol has arrived when the grass is dry
ing and curing on the ground and the
heavy growth will furnish plenty of
fuel for the flames if II fire is once
started and unless our farmers are
protected by good fire guards the loss
of last fall will be small as compared
to the damage that may result this
fall if the matter is neglected. Now
is the time to prepare for danger. DO
not wait until the fire comes for it
