An Honest Confession Made TO our Re-
porter.

An Honest Confession Made TO our Re
porter.
According to our quarterly custom the
JOURNALS special reporter made his
usual round, and after three hours Of
tiresome labor met with reverse luck.
The pleasure Of conversing with a gen.
tleman who created within him consider
able delight and revealed true state Of
affairs OF the news he was after.
A man whose conversation was with
out the faintest shadow of exaggeration
as he revealed nothing but the true con-
dition this country was in. He went on
BY saying that times are hard and money
scarce and the poor people are obliged to
deprive themselves of actual necessaries.
Now II the public will only stop to
think moment they viii instantly learn
how to economize. One way is to buy
fewer things. Another to pay lower
price for what you buy. And by giving
your readers the following information
and my intention, they will have no oc-
casion to regret noticingithis article.
| thought when l visited the markets
at the commencement of the summer
season that made good investment by
buying goods at my own prices. And it
would have proven so had this season
been more favorable. But l
am very much disappointed.
Consequently / am compelled to push
them, bring what they win, for what is
my great loss is the public's gain. From
this day until further notice you can
have Broad Vale" Suit worth S39 if
made to order, for $l5; Whipcord Dia-

Whereas. II. is the earnest wish OF
our pastor, the Rev J. w. T.. Boothe. d.
D., that his resignation presented to the
church the Both ultimo should be consid.
cred at once, believing as he does that
after four years Of unceasing labor and
care, such as few pastors have been
called upon to undergo, he should now
have perfect freedom TO seek such rest
and change as the state Of his health
now imperatively demands.
BE II resolved, That we hereby
accept our pastors resignation as pre-.
sented; that in thus severing the pas.
toral relationship we bear testimony to
the earnest zeal and self sacrificing spirit
which have ever characterized his labors
as pastor Of this church; that we es.
pecially recognize the fact that to his
earnest and unceasing efforts we. are
largely indebted for our deliverance from
financial peril which threatened our very
existence as an organization when he as.
sumed his pastoral duties; that
largely through his efforts 81 600
have been raised and applied
to the debt OF the church over
and above what has been raised from or
binary sources during his ministry with
us; that as an expression Of our appre.
citation for the great service he has thus
rendered we donate to him a parting
memento, and as an evidence of our es.
teem and kindly feeling, the sum Of $500
that In thus parting with our pastor we
extend TO him our best wishes for the
happiness and welfare Of himself and
family. and for his future usefulness and
success in the ministry.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered upon our church minutes, and
that copy thereof be presented by the
clerk to our retiring pastor

While 1t does not agree with many of
the published reasons for DR.. Boothe's
resignation, yet it was unanimously
adopted DIR. Boothe will remain In this
city for few months, then he will de.
eide on future plans.

Relic of N Famous Battle.

A white pine tree was cut recently
two miles south Of Shade Mills. in
Garrett county, near the site OF the
old Brsddock road. and converted
into shingles. Ii was a large tree.
and by expert voodsmen estimated
to be at least 300 years old. In cut
ting il up the saw, going through
some tough substance. then sup
posed to be q knot, attracted atten-
ton, and investigation disclosed q
bullet imbedded within two inches
OF the heart. The tree at this point
was 80 inches in diameter. About
one-third of the bullet was sawed
away, the remainder. weighing at
leas. 40 ounce. being left in a corner
OF the butt end Of a single. The
ball is supposed to have been shot
from q musket by q OF Braddock's
men during the campaign which
eliminated in the disaster at Fort
On Quesne. In this event the bullet
was imbedded in the tree 1873 years
ago, each years growth burying it
deeper. 1t is 9 most interesting
memento Of the illstarred campaign
of 1855. II was brought to Frost
burg, Allegheny county, and given
to Dawson Armstrong, agent OF the
Borden Mining Company, and adj
ded to bis already extensive col
