Three Precincts Now.

Messrs. Henry Shriver and a. G.
Smith, supervisors, have divided
precinct No. of District No. II and
established another precinct-No. 3.
In their own words
District No. II shall be divided into three
Precincts.
That portion of said District which was
prior to this date known as the First Precinct
shall be divided by line starting at the
corner of Union street and Broadway and
following the middle of Broadway to the
road in the rear of Beall High School then
with the middle of said County Road to the
intersection of said County Road with the
road leading to Midlothian; then with the
middle of said Midlothian road to its inter-
section with the line bounding District No
10, and starting again at the said corner of
Union street and Broadway and following
the middle Of said Union street north to the
National Turnpike and with the middle of
said National Turnpike to the line of Garrett
county.
All that portion of said District west of
said Broadway, and south of said Union
street and National Turnpike, shall be known
as Precinct No. !, and all that portion of
said District north of Union street and the
National Turnpike shall be known as Pre-
cinct No. 2, said Precinct No. remaining as
already laid out.
Precinct No. shall comprise that portion
of said District not i'm Precinct No / and not
included in Precincts Nos. l and 3 it being
that portion of what was originally Precinct
No which is east of Broadway and the
Midlothian road
People on the ground probably
know what the Supervisors mean, but
it occurs to the JOURNAL that if 'cest
had been used in several places in
stead of "north," the directions would
have been more accurately stated.

~ Tale of Two Evenings.


The entertainments given Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings in Meats
Opera House by tho ladies of the
Episcopal church are notable for the
novelty and beauty of their features.
"The Talking Sphinx" and 1.-THE
Aerial Supervision" in charge of M. B.
Tyler, were both interesting examples
of mechanical illusion. John B.
Strother personated the sphinx. In
the course of confab with Mr.. Tyler
he got off the following play upon
Frostburg names:
am afraid that Frostburg is beyond my
descriptive powers. Situated, as it is, so
high i'll the mountains amongst beautiful
grooes, through which the gentle pind blo,rs,
while the sweet odors of the large crop of wild
flowers are waited over its mOors, tanning the
cheeks of its bellies, and pierce-ing its way over
to the tom,ts end j; and If the ladies and gen.
tlemen see a hitch IN any of my description.
only wish they might haze a stick and send
the porter to give my head the drubbing it
deserves, even at the price of my feelings.
Mr.. Tyler's son, Arthur, was "the
suspended" AT its close he waved
''The Star Spangled Banner" and the
scene closed in flame of patriotic
color and glory.
Thursday evening the only tabieau
scene exhibited miner, with pick, at
the mouth of a mine, just as shown
in the JOURNAL S vignette. At lower
elevation nine little misses, and yet
lower thirteen other little misses, clad
in white, each with a large dark letter
on the skirt of her dress. AS arranged
all appeared thus:
FROSTBURG

In conception and execution this
was most artistic arrangement and
fully deserved the hearty applause it
received.

found acknowledgements to the ladies
who wrought this pretty tableau.
