upwards of seventy-fve, divided into
three classes, including among whom
were Abel Browning, of near Oak

took place. In the young fiddlers

two broken ribs and crushed about
the chest. Mr.. Bowe is a large man

seven inches. He was unconscious

hours. He is being attended by Dr.

THE STATES ATTORNEYSHIP.
| Mr.. Thayer, the Present Efficient Officer
Endorsed for denomination.

Mr.. Thayer, the Present Efficient Oficer,
Endorsed for denomination.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Nomination for county officers will
soon be in order and of all the posi-
tions to be filled there is none more
important to a law abiding commun-
ity than that of States Attorney. 1t
is an Office of such character that it
is absolutely necessary to have a care
ful, painstaking official at the head
and one who will endeavor to the best
OF his ability to enforce the laws.
Garrett County is particularly for
tunate in having as it's chief legal
Official gentleman who has filled
the position with such marked sue
cess Frederick A. Thayer, Esq. Ever
since he entered upon the duties of
States Attorney, nearly eight years
ago, he has proven himself to be all
and more than was expected of him
when he was elected. He has been
thorough in all that he has done and
has shown neither fear nor favor"
His record is clean one and one of
which his many friends and the COM
munity at large can justly be proud
of. The Republican voters of Garrett
county can do no better than to re-
x = innate and reflect him. We know
from MS past record what to expees
in the future and then we will be
certain to have as States A ttOrneV a
man who is not only learned in the
law and the intricacies of criminal
procedure but who will also see that
the laws are enforced.

THE ROCKING BOULDER.

County.
This extraordinary rock lies on the
top of high hill just south of the res
idence of Sam Pepper, Barbour coun-
ty, West Virginia, and one mile and a
half southwest of Aston, Taylor coun-
ty. 1t is from 10 to 10 feet long, 6 or
s feet wide, and oyer feet thick: of
an oblOng and rather oval form. 1t
rests on a pedestal or table rock. or
$ feet high. 1t is poised on two small
points, and 50 equals the equilibrium
that with one hand, one can give it
such rock ing motion that it is diff
ticult for one to stand on the top. 1t
has taken ages for the wind to shape
and so adjust this rock as to give it
its present form and pOIse. Such a
rock in other places would be of great
interest and would call forth the geol-
Ogist in his search for the curious.
But | have never seen any notice or
reference to this wonderful rock. 1t
