Avoirdupois,


lie Matin Of Paris records the discovery
of the oldest love letter in the world. II
was written on a brick about 1900 B. c.
by a Baby1onian.
Nor slate nor parchment held the screed
The Baylonian lover wrought;
Solidity he deemed his need
thought
He did the trick
Upon n brick
Which has survived the flight of years.
The tolls OF time, the drip of tears.
The modern wooer. with his page
Scented and tinted for the quest,
Would stand poor chance. did he engage
This ancient lover from the West,
Whose words outweigh
A poets lay
Or lengthiest burst of minstrelsy
That e'er petitioned maids decree
foolish fancy then IT is
That bids one choose a crested sheet
Which easily may go amiss
Among the perils of the street.
Give me the ways
of olden days.
And IL brick can win me Her
A brick I'll make my messenger.

A Terrific Wind, Hail and Rain
Storm.

Last Tu day morning about $50
O'Clock the lower section of Garrett
county was visited by one of the most
terrific wind, tail and rain storm in
its history. In places vegetation was
beaten into the ground and the corn
fields were either washed entirely out
or overed up. Mr.. w. H Jacobs
had $50 panels of fence blown dow
and the stone corners of his fences
were blow / out of their pI' as. The
hail broke the window panes in Nv
Jacobs residence, knocking them
half across the rooms, and the rain
poured down in torrents The roads
are in a wretched condition as a re-
suit OF the storm
