Observation-Disclosures of desc
Grafton in Allegany cemetery are
numerous and loud. 1t is said that
even lot-holders are regardless of the
rights of other owners; that it is al
most II common occurrence for one in
cleaning mp his ground to dump the
DEBRIS on adjoining lots. Other similar
irregularities are current i'll town talk,
such as the breaking the lock OF the
Getzendanner vault some time ago and
the exposed condition of the bodies
therein for several weeks. Through
the good offices of Owen HitchinS the
latter outrage has been remedied
The worst case heard of was the re
cent digging OF grave which trench
ed upon an old grave, the coffin and
bones of the corpse. 1t is said that
the digger, after discovering that he
was upon coffin, never changed his
course, but went right through, and
threw pieces Of coffin and bones out in
the heap. A finger and portion of

This ought to rouse the concern of those
interested in the cemetery sufficiently
to see that such violations of their
rights are made impossible. Nameless
oUtrageS have boon committed which,
brought to the ears of those whose
loved and lost lie there, have caused
the most painful anguish aud make
others lose respect for human nature.
1t is time that it be stopped, even if
takes expensive detective work to
catch the depraved creatures who thus
rrcspass upon the most sacred of our
treasures the buried dust of our loved
ones.
Proposni for the Glorious Ih.-The
proposition of Company d and Col.
George A. PealTe to have the Second
Battalion assemble in Frostburg and
spend July 4th is most favorably
received by our people.
The movements contemplated have
in view new entertainment for the
people. Thcsn VIII consist of military
drill and cvplu;I"nS, in which, we un-
derstand, the Rttalinn has become
hui'' l'''ilNl' Nv
To tn" Young especially the display
will be very interesting.
In order for all to enjoy the spec
tacle. however. it will be necessary to
raise enough money to pay the round
trip transportation of the Oakland
company, and provide for at least two
meals for all the military while here.
This will be easy to do.
For if Col. Pcarre is willing to pay
the way or two companies here and
return, we ought to be equally ready
to go down into all our pockets for
enough to bring the Oakland company
and send it back.
To argue the business advantages
which accrue to our place from the
collections of people attracted by such
displays is useless. A dollar brought
to town always plays IA big part before
it gets away from us. In every trans
fer it pays IA dollars worth Of indebt-
edness.
Capt. j. 2. Smith is pushing the
movement with his accustomed vigor,
and if the people second him as indi-
Gated by his pioneer round among
them there is no doubt of big day in
