The remains of John w. Cline were
inferred at Eckhart Saturday under
the auspices of the Knights of Malta,
of which he was member. The
family became dissatisfied, however,
and the body was disinterred Tuesday,
brought up to Allegany cemetery and
re-interred, where it now rests in sight
of the home the deceased young man
loved and served so well. His death
was quite unexpected, and, therefore,
a distressing bereavement to an esti-
mable family.
John Chambers went down street
Wednesday afternoon with a pick on
his shoulder, concerning which there
were various surmises. One thought it
merely emblematic of the sign manual
prevailing in Frank Brown clubs !;
another that it had some remote ref
erence to Johns biography as an
anti-canal man, and yet another that
the pick is to take the place of. the
gavel in Local Assembly steen
hundred and four. The JOURNAL re-
CARDS all as in error, and, it is proud
to say, Mr.. Pink Whiskers, of Pocahon-
tas, agrees with this opinion. 1t was
a paradox representation of how the
editor of the Homecoming Star would
look walking around with pen be-
hind his ear.

The 4O0th anniversary of st. Tam
many, an Indian chief, born one year
before Columbus discovered this con-
tinent, will be observed in Frostburg
Tuesday evening, 18th inst. by Allie
gany Tribe, 81, Independent Order of
Red Men. The affair will take the
shape of ball in Odd Fellows Opera
House, where fair women and brave
sachems will shuttle the light fantastic
toe
Messrs. n. Fresh & Bro. make an
early Closinga announcement else
where. 1t is a clever notice and
worthy of general copy. The hour,
s, is too late. however, to be called
early.
In removing an old hydrant on
George Fl. Wittig's place Thursday
the boys uncovered two snakes--proof

The 9th Baptist Church, of Washing
ton, ID. c., has rendered Rev. James
Miller, of this place, a trip to Birming-
ham, Ala, to attend the Southern
Baptist convention, which meets in
that city May Sth, next. The Conven-
ton is delegated body, representing
all the Associations of the Southern
States. The tender by the Washing
ton church was wholly unexpected it
is, however, very generous one, and
Mr.. Miller would like to avail himself
of it, provided his good Frostburg
congregation be willing.
An advertisement in the JOURNAL
last week brought out an even dozen
responses, IL from non-subscribers.
The actual but unknown circulation
of the great paper is simply immense.
Rev. A. C. Thompson underwent Il.
pounding" last evening. Little
pounds, "a dollars worth" of pounds,
that is, 81 pounds, and l96-pounder
of flour, struck him so hard that he
wont have to patronize his grocer for
month. 1t was an enjoyable oc-
casion, replete with pleasant social
features including music galore
The JOURNAL Is pleased to note
concurrence in its views of last week
concerning the tendency of secret
labor orders by the Meyersdale (Pa.)
Register and Cumberland independent,
Read Mr.. Purnell's notice elsewhere,
When he brought it in for publication
he took occasion to say that the
JOURNALS position on the gram
NAUTICAL issue with the Homecoming Star
is wholly correct, and being one of
the best scholastics in the county, his
opinion is we'll nigh conclusive.
