of the river Potomac

OF the river Potomac
Still the question remains, what is
the first source of the river Potomac?
Ever since the year 1853 it has been
held as the part of Maryland that the
most western source is the first foun-
tain of the Potomac. The claim of
Maryland, therefore, is to the most
western source of the Potomac, be
that where it may.
The attorney and engineers in
charge of Maryland's work, after a
careful examination of all the data
bearing upon the subject which is
accessible to them, have come to the
conclusion that the most western
source of the north branch of the
Potomac and the point called for in
the charter to Lord Baltimore is the
spring which they have found near
the crest Of the mountain, it being the
source of the northwest fork or prong
and not the Fairfax stone, which
stands further east. They have,
therefore, determined to run a north
line from that spring,
Where Mr.. Michler begun his line
at the Fairfax stone (as stated by a
witness a day or two ago who was
presently he said there must be some
mistake as this certainly is not the
most western source of the Potomac
river. But Mr.. Nichler was REQUIRED
by the law under which he was doing
the work to begin at that point. The
surveys now being made are for the
purpose CT fairly presenting the
claims of Maryland to the Supreme
Court. Our representative are not
tied up to the Fairfax stone, but will
so far as they are concerned, run a
north line from a point called for in
the description contained in the
charter. TO do this they will apply
the ordinary rules of location adhered
to by the courts of this state, which
are well known to every ejectment
lawyer.
As before stated the line which will
be run from the most western source
OF the north branch as hercinbefore
mentioned and described Twill be six
thousand three hundred feet west of
the Michler line, and should it be
adopted by the court, will take from
West Virginia about thirty-six thous-
and acres of her territory, or rather
that which she claims as her territory.
In this territory are located tie villa
ges of Corinth and GAINESVILLE This
territory, which will lie between the
Michler line and the new line to be
run from the source of the north
western prong of the north branch,
is in addition to that lying between
the Michler line and the Deakins' line
and will make the dispute much
greater and much more important
than it has generally been considered

The death of Charles Warwick,
last issue, occurred at $50 o'clock on
Thursday, August IL, at his home,
five miles south of Grantsville. Mr.
Warwick was afflicted with a rupture
for the past fifteen years, and to it his
system finally succumbed at the
time above mentioned, although an
operation had been performed by
DR.. W. .. SHILLING, of this place; DR..
O. G. Getty, of Meyersdale, and DR..
Lichty, of GrantsviIle. While it was
evident that the unfortunate mans
condition, previous to the operation,
would prove fatal, the physicians
were successful in prolonging life by
their skill.
Charles Warwick was born in Gar
rett county siXty-one years ago, and
had spent the greater part of his life
on his farm, which is situated about
five miles from his birthplace He
married Miss Catharine Otto, and the
union was blessed with ten children,
three sons and seven daughters, who
survive him. They are Mrs. Gideon
j. Gnagey, of Grantsville, Md; Mrs.
W. 7. Sigler, of Homecoming, Misses
Lucretia, Ida, Cora and Allie, who are
at home The sons are Noah, of
Grantsville; Lloyd, of Homecoming,
and Clarence, of New Germany.
Mr.Warnick was a consistent member
of the Trinity Reformed church for
thirty-one years and during that time
missed only two communion services.
He was q worthy and respected cit
izen as well as one of the most pros
porous farmers in that county.
The funeral services were held in
the above mentioned church at New
Germany on Saturday afternoon, Rev.
Leader, of Salisbury, officiating. The
body was laid to rest in the cemetery
connected with that church.
1t is said the funeral was beyond
question the largest ever seen in Gar
rett county many people having come
miles to pay their last respects to the
memory of the d.-Lonoconing
Review.

The Oakland correspond 1t of the
Baltimore sun on last Monday fell
into reminiscent strain and tele-
graphed the following to his paper
concerning Oakland past and present;
Oakland is the pioneer summer re-
sort of the Alleganies, and while there
are at this day many other charming
resorts in the Glades, Oakland has
not lost its prestige
The old Glades Hotel, of Oakland,
the famous old hosiery of the long
ago in ante bellum days used to gath
er under its hospitable roof many dis
tinguished men and fair women. Be
fore the war this was a favorite resort
of Jefferson Davis. One hot after
noon Mr.. Davis sent across the street
from the Glades Hotel for a dozen
lemons, which the merchant charged
on his books. When Mr.. Davis went
away he forgot the little bill, and the
merchant has it yet. 1t is unneces-
sary to say he would not take the price
of many dozens of lemons for the little
piece of paper on which the order was
written.
Salmon p. Chase and his daughter,
who was afterward Mrs Kate Chase
Sprague, We're also visitors at The old
Glades. At that time the daughter
was a beautiful girl just budding in
to young womanhOod. Another dis
tinguished man who spent many sum
mers here was Allen g. Therman, Of
Ohio. He was greatly beloved by
our people, and many an evening
have they spent with him over a
game of whist, which was his favorite
pastime when here.
Among others quite prominent were
Judge Oliver Miller, of our Court of
Appeals; VIM. r. Travers, of New
York, Major Horace Bliss and Col
onel j. LcCarthy, of the United
States Army.
Great changes have been wrought
this section since those days. While
there was but one summer hotel then,
Oakland now has seven or eight.
Among the other resorts which accom-
adate thousands of people every sum
mer are Deer Park, Mountain Lake
Park, Loeb Lynn Heights, Monte
Vista, Brookside, EglOn, Aurora and
Terra Alta,
The present has been great sea-
son for Oakland, las well as other
resorts. Some of the smaller hotels
have not done so well as they wished,
but, not outstanding the cry of hard
times, the Oakland Hotel alone has
had more people this season than all
the hotels here put together had last
year. Last week was by far the
greatest week of the season. The
evenings at the hotels and boarding
houses have been passed with the us
ual music, dancing, balls, progressive
euchre and the like.

greed
Make blind leaders ofthe blind;
Where man to man no longer
Holds out a helping hand
Heard We the song of the spirit?
tbs wailing throughout the land,
Hear We the song of the spirit
Where political spoils are rife,
Where souls are sold for place and gold,
And our country torn with strife;
Where love and truth and Justice
No longer are held dear
Heard We the song of the spirito
Oh, listen, and ye shall hear!
The wailing song ofthe spirit,
That cries to us all take heed
It's the terrible song of human wrong
At the altar of mans greed,
The simple soul OF the peasant
Caught the phrensy Of its note
The guillotine's bloody story
Still Sticks in Mammon's threat.
Heard We the song ofthe spirit?

Oh, it maddens the brain with the wild

Some Rambling Thoughts.

TO YOUNG MEN IN LOVE Ord Attic
le):-SOme day, when you have toiled
for her awhile longer, and gathered
a reasonable amount of worldly goods
for her protection and comfort, she
will place her hand contidingly in
yours in the presence of witnesses.
With her Il Will" she will forswear
liberty. Her wistful eyes viii be rails
ed in tender love towards yours as she
makes the greatest sacrifice Of her
life; for that is what it is, as you will
appreciate if you stop to think.
What will those eyes see in you? A
hero. She thinks you are one, if she
is loving you for your self alone; and
am presuming she is. fOu are to
her knights cayalier,a hero hClu; she
glories in your strength or your kind
ness, or some quality that makes her
esteem you above all Others. Though
a hundred men pass before her in
view, tHSN tlt NdlN cC dSlIG 10 their
own disparagement when she com
pares them with you. Just as ardent
ly as you admire her does she admire
you But she is only dreaming of your
heroism and goodness? The dream is
one so beautiful for you to consider,
that to awaken her to different real
ity will be cruel pain. If you are
shrouding your real character and
deceiving her as to your motive, try
now to open your soul wide to the
qualities she loves. Let them rush
in until you are possessed by them,
so that she may never have before
her eyes the sorrow and distress of
an illusion. Be what she thinks
you are; and while she will remain
the more powerful to mould and the
greater in heart chow trueD she will
nevertheless look up oyou as though
she were the lesser. What a sweet
Offering of incense to your proud and
happy spirit that will be- Deception
as to goodness and nobility until both
become habits of the soul, is worth
the effort of carrying on, and when
fully attained will make the life to-
gether a growth in the sweetest
graceS of humanity.

pleasure INDUCED in for your own

helpfulness is forgotten in the pres

joyousness comes to an end, the act
of love now lowered to mere instinct
rounds out the full desire, increased
indulgence calls for further indul-

then-last and worst stage of all-the
heart goes wandering anywhere and
everywhere seeking physical pleasure,
and it becomes almost matter of in
difference whether it be one woman
or another that furnishes the pleas

have changed in your grasp TO the

MY KNIGHT.

Or his strong right hand and his bounding
health
Or his costly garb and his worldly wealth?
Is it because of his wOoing sweet
Orthe sits that he filings at my favored feet?
Is it because of the noble race,
Whence he boasts his lineage proud to trace?
All no! tits because, for the love ofme
He has cheerfulY donned his panoply:-
Stalwart and brave beyond compare,
But gentle and kind to his lady fair.

You smile at the old fable about
the greedy dog that dropped a bone
in order to snatch his reflection in
the water below. Beware of similar
foolishness. In the present state of
your feeling you admire the beauty,
the good sense, the modesty, the at
tractive ways OF the woman of your
choice. You look up to her and she
can raise you in all that is worthy.
The progress of 1900 years is being
enjoyed by you; the ages during which
woman has grown, under the inliu-
ence of virgins son, from a creature
of utility to the Jew and a creature
of pleasure to the Gentle, into Il ra-
diant help-meet that draws out of
man more fully the divine possibilities
of his nature; these ages are epitom-
iscd in your love. The gain to you
from her devotion is, in a measure,
like the gain of the world from her
dear sex since the Christian Era.
Just as we expect her influence to
keep the world continuously progress
ing, so may your gain keep on growing
as you come to a fuller knowledge of
her. O, greedy one. Is this not enough!
You are a better man because she
loves you before marriage. This is
the substance now in your possession.
Will you forget ii all and rush through
the gates of love as though the Crea.
tor had from all time planned to form
this particular woman for your par.
ticular pleasure? If you do, the Shdd.

Pear blight is rapidly driving the
pear tree from sections where it
formerly fourished, and, despite
the attention given it by scientists
for twenty-five years past, no rem
edy has yet been discovered which
will prevent its ravages. Pear
blight and peach yell"ws can be
prevented only by fire, which means
destruction OF the trees. 1t is ad-
United, however, that trees that are
less rapidly forced in growth are
less liable to both diseases than
those which have been forced, but
if the blight or yellows appear in a
neighborhood it is but matter of
time when all the trees must GO,
though delay ia secured by cutting
away diseased portions OF trees as
soon as they become affected.

There is nothing better to make
young pigs grow than patch of
peas, into which they may be- turn
ed an hour or so every day until
the peas become so scarce that all
day is required to satisfy them.
They furnish the same kind of nu-
triton that milk does, and at a
much cheaper rate. When thus
fed their frames will grow rapidly,
and they can be given corn feed
later in the season, without the in
jury that comes to hogs summered
on grass and clover and suddenly
changed TO corn.
