FOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.

On Sunday morning last, rabbit, looking
gaunt and detected made its appearance in
the Local Correspondents chicken yard, and
in the absence of any vegetable better suited
to its taste, we found extreme pleasure in
supplying 1t with . square meal Of crisp
turnips.
In less than twenty four working hours
after the storm ceased, our turnpike was
open for travel. This is in accordance with
Superintendent lawmakers promptness
and push in emergencies.
Farmers living north east Of, and but one
mile from Graceham, and who had milk 10
deliver to the creamery at that place were
obliged to travel west one mile to the turn
pike, south, one mile to Thurmont, then
east, two miles to get there and were delight.
ed with the opportunity then afforded.
Although early in the season, the gardens
In this community are full and plenty.
Although the Clarion's Editor knows that
his attempt to reach his office during the
winding up of the recent fierce and appall.
ing snow etorm and almost deadly tempera-
ture was one of the never to be forgotten
experience of that eventful visitation. there
are in this connection other sadder stories
to be told, one just now in mind Is the Balti-
more County husband and father, who, on
that same morning with his meal sack
wound about his neck braved the storm and
floundered through the drift to the mill a
mile off where he procured flour to stay the
hunger of devoted wife and several inno-
cent and interesting children, neither OF
whom dared not nor could not venture from
their habitation. but who on his return trip
was obliged to abandon his precious burden
to the mercy of the storm and little further
on he himself fell exhausted and there would
have persisted but for the timely appearance
OF several strong young men who lost nc
time in dragging him from the drift and bur
rying him to the nearest habitation.
Notwithstanding many families in thi'
community fed and cared for the little birds
as best they could, hundreds of them sue
cumbed to the deadly temperature and fierce
storm as Ia in evidence as the snow drifts
disappear.
During our brush with Spain, the pushers
of pens and pencils Of a good many of oul
big newspapers were frantIcally grinding
out heroes and now what about our railroad
engineers, firemen and brakemen, who, dur
ing the recent appalling spell Of weather
stood 30 brayely to their posts that their fel
low man might not come to want and misery
Mr.. Lewis Keefer is slowly recovering
from spell of typhoid fever.

ON WHEEIa.-In San Francisco last week
Charles w. Miller rode 2,1S2 miles in las
hours and 81 minutes, an average for the en-
tire time including rests Of about 15t miles
an hour. This is q speed that will kill a
horse IN a single hour, yet the man, a. wheel
keeps 1t up for six days and probably no
locomotive has record of 2 1872 miles in six
consecutive days. 1t is just about "around
the world" in 70 days, being 365t miles u day
RECOVERED. Mr.. Jacob Dsmuth, one Of
our oldest citizens, who had been quiet Ill.,
has so far recovered a. to he out on the street
again.
He tells US that the only approach to the
great snow storm of the 13the inst, was one
on the 10th day of March 1872 He says
that while the snsw fall was likely greater
al that time, yet the wind though very strong
did not equal the recent gale nor was It near
so cold. Since that date, fifty seven years
ago, Mr.. Danuth says we have had no such
snow as that, until the bigger one ofth 18th
came.
FROST EFFECTs.-The following facts that
have been reported to us, give an idea ofth
great cold that prevailed here on the 9th, 10th
and nth inst.
At June Carbaugb's, two miles south Of
town, the water in the well, four feet below
the surface of the ground froze to the thick.
ness of one inch.
At Grant Ridges, neighber, two cherry
trees bursted and at Geo. w. (Jsck) Miller's,
nearby, cherry tree about foot in diane.
ter bursted throughout length OF twelve
feet, and at Jacob Layman's, In the same To-
calitv, two lambs, four chickens and one hog
were frozen to death.
We have no thermometric report from
that locality and while 1t is but several miles
distant from this place, We are of the opin-
ion that, due to its locality with reference TO
the mountain, that exceptional cold prevailed
there, as no such unusual results have been
reported from other nearby points.

The recent success of the British arms over
the Mahdists in the Soudan demonstrates
that even fanatcism cannot stand against
drill and discipline. But in earlier days, it is
easy to understand why the Arabs swept all
before them. An ingenious tenet of Moham.
med taught his followers that the hour and
minute and second of death were fully or
dained. Therefore the believing soldiers
self regardless fighting was tor while in
vincible. Confucius, Zoroaster, Buddha
Brahma, Mohsmmed-eacho of these great re-
ligious thinkers now has his followers be-
meath the tar flung flag of the United States.

Long on Nchley.

At last we are able to judge the case on it's
merits.
According to Secretary Long the naval
battle at Santiago was all down on paper in
advance and had there been no officials
aboard the war vessels above green midship-
men, the victory would have been won, Oil
the same, as 1t would only have been neces'
sary that they read 10 the men at the wheels
and behind the guns, SIMPSONS standing
orders for the fight. According TO THIS
Sampson knew Just how Cerveras squadron
would emerge from the harbor of Santiago,
the order and speed of the vessels, the d.
rection they would take and just how our
feet should be best maneuvred to crush them
As for Schley, according tc Secretary Long
he was not even expected to give any orders,
az the captains of the several vessels were
acquainted with the orders of Sampson and
on,y had 10 follow them out for they knew
that Cervera's ships must also follow out the
general plan of battle as laid down in ad-
vance by Sampson: in fact, it was no real
battle. it was more on the order OF game
of naval chess, the moves of which had all
been prearranged to the end that there should
great glory come to Sampson. Sampson,
too, is a magnanimous soul; he "damns with
faint praise" and rises so far above petty en-.
mitles as to be able to ask that Schley, who
did nothing at Santiago and who had earned
already court martial, shall be promoted.
The meauness and malignancy of the Long
Sampson caba as evidenced in the report
sent to the United States Senate by Secre-
,ary Long Is go palpable that scorn has taken
the place of criticism
Schley's rejoiuder, published on Tuesday
fatty contradicts the statement made by Long
that he (Schley) made no directing signals
during the game of chess" and when 1t
comes to the little Long Sampson cabal on
the one hand and the practically unanimous
American Nation on the other, the former
rejecting and the latter accepting Schley's
word, 1t is safe to assume that "the incident
is closed:'

PROTECTED, HOWEVER.

Clinton, March leach trolley line
has its danger point. The danger point
on the Worcester and Clinton may be
to be at the top of Wilson
hill. where the line makes a long de-
scent into Clinton, skirting a pond or
two on the new road and sweeping
across the iron bridge over the Nashua
at the Lancaster mills.
The wagon road runs at the edge Of
this hill hundred feet or more above
the old bed Of the river. The slope is
almost a precipice. Fortunately the
line of track runs on the side of the
road away from the slope. Yet a car
that should leave the track as that
did the other night might go through
the light railing that guards the road
on the danger side, and so rolling down
the bank, carrying the living burden
down to almost certain death.
1t is not probable that such an acct
dent as this will happen here.
Superintendent John w. Ogden is
well aware that this danger exists. He
has Issued most binding rules about
the speed to be observed at this point
of the road, and has left nothing I'M
done that he can do to insure the safety
Of cars and passengers. An infractior
of the llghtest of these rules would
mean the immediate discharge of the
conductor or motorman committing the
offense
