Aug. 22.—There is no necessity for a thriving little burg like this to be never heard from, so here we are. Mrs. Elias Blauch,of Conemaugh,and Miss Annie Sibert, of Keyser, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Blauch, on Sunday last. The several-days-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Keim was buried at the Chestnut Spring cemetery, on Sun- day forenoon. Mr. Ed. D. Miller, of this place, and Miss Annie Durr, of Masontown, Pa., compose the newly married couple we expect to arrive here this week. We wish them a happy and prosperous fu- ture. Blauch & Livengood are getting their new cider machine ready, which they locate in this town. They will soon be ready to accommodate the public. They are also drilling wells in the town of Niverton. Jacob Kinsinger has a new barn about completed and a house well un- der way, on the farm he purchased of W. C. Livengood. He intends to occu- py it this fall. : D. J. Miller informs us that he now has his house under a galvanized steel roof and expects to have it finished in the near future. Mr. Keim should profit by Mr. Miller's example, and our “burg” would soon be altogether in the “swim.” Most of the school teachers from this section have procured schools in Gar- rett county, Md. The threshing machines are all very busy, as people are in a hurry to thresh since they are obliged to take in damp grain. If you have not known yet how it feels to go to war, just get to dreaming that you are going and are being in a great row, getting several fingers sev- ered with a knife. Then. when you realize the situation, surprise yourself by dreaming that it was merely an ex- cursion trip. This was some one’s ex- perience,but as I want others todream, I will not expose any name.

Somerset Standard. Rev. J. H. Sutherland, formerly pas- tor of the Somerset Presbyterian church, and well known by many peo- ple here, is chaplain of one of the U. 8 regiments now in Porto Rico. From a letter written by Rev. Suth- erland, dated “Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, Aug. 4,” which has just been re- ceived by a friend here,we have been per- mitted to take the following of general interest: “This is the greatest land in the world —the richest soil, the best climate, the most beautiful land I ever saw or read of. The men who get here first will be in it. I expect to remain here permanently with my regiment. This is the hot- test- month in the year, and it seems to me much like the month of June in Pennsylvania. (Cocoas, bananas, limes, coffee, cane, everything you can think of, growing in profusion; not a bare spot on the island. Ponce is a beautiful city—a land of Canaan is this. Three crops of almost everything are harvested each year. We are just moving farther into the interior, toward San Juan.” + a ~ A stubborn coughor ticklinginthe throat yields to One Minute Cough Cure.

Stone, adju- tant of the Second Texas cavalry, whose company was the first to carry | arms to the Cubans, relates the follow- | ing experience connected with their | mission : “While we were over in Cuba a Uni- ted States scout called Shorty zales was told to deliver an important dispatch. He set out upon his jour- ney, riding a mule. I‘earing that he | would fail into the hands of the Span- iards, he hit upon a novel plan to keep the message secret. Taking a rubber tobacco pouch he put the message into it. Then he pried open the mule’s mouth and forced the pouch down the animal’s throat. He fell into the hands of the Spaniards,but after being search- ed was permitted to continue his jour- ney. The mule was killed aud a veter- inary surgeon rescued the precious pouch.” Gon- DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve Cures Piles, Scalds, Burns. The Mountain Chautauqua. The sixteenth annual session of this famous Chautauqua will be held Au- gust 4th to 26th. It is the most superb and sensible summer resort in America, 2,800 feet above sea level on the line of the picturesque B. & O. The climate and scenery and social surroundings are all that could be desired and $300,- 000 have been spent in improvements. Mountain Lake Park is furnished with electric lights, and water works are now being put in. Five splendid hotels and two hundred and fifty cottages, many of which receive boarders, open their doors at reasonable rates to tourists. The charming lake furnishes excellent boating and fishing. The Chautauqua Nummer Schools are in session for four weeks. They include thirty depart- ments of important study under the care of enthusiastic and capable teach- ers out of leading American colleges. | The Chautauqua program with three entertainments daily furnishes the best | thing in lectures, entertainments and | music which genius can devise or mon- ey procure.

Shelley’s Prophecy. To the Editor of the New York Sun: Sir—Was Shelley prophet as well as poet? In “The Revolt of Islam,” writ- ten 1817, I find these verses: There is a people mighty in its youth, A land beyond the oceans of the west, Where, though with rudest rites, freedom and truth Are whorshipped. er’s breast, Who since high Athens fell,among the rest Sate like the queen of nations, but in woe Turns to her chainless child for succor now And draws the milk of power in wisdom’s fullest flow. From a glorious moth- This land is like an eagle whose young gaze Feeds on the noontide beam, whose gold- en plume Floats moveless on the storm and in the blaze Of sunrise glenms when earth is wrapped in gloom. Great people! As the sands shalt those be- come. Thy growth is swift as. morn when night must fade. The multiudinous earth shall sleep beneath thy shade. Nay, start not at the name—America! Canto XI, 22. ‘ 8. Q er A Prophecy Fulfilled. Comes a cry from Cuban water, From the warm, dusk Antilles, From the lost Atlantis’ daughter, Drowaned in blood as drowned in seas; Comes a cry of purpled anguish— See her struggles! Hear her cries! Shall she live, or shall she languish? Shall she sink, or shall she rise? Shall she rise by all that’s holy? Shall she live, and shall she last— Rise as we, when erushed and lonely, From the blackness of the past? Bid her strike! Lo,it is written Blood for blood and life for life! Bid her smite as she is smitten; Stars and stripeswere born for strife. Once we flashed her lights of freedom— Lights that dazzled her dark eyes Till she could but yearning heed them, Reach her hands and try to rise. Then they stabbed her, choked drowned her— Ah,these rustling chains that bound her! Oh, these robbers at her throat! her, And the land that forged these fetters? Ask five hundred years of news. Stake and thumbscrew for thoir betters? Inquisitions! Banished Jews! Chains and slavery! What reminder Of one man in that land? Why, these very chains that bind her Bound Columbus, foot and hand! She shall rise as rose Columbus From his chains, from shame and WIrong— Rise as morning, matchless, wondrous; Rise as some rich morning song; Rise a ringing song a story, Valor, love personified. Stars and stripes espouse her glory, Love and liberty allied. —Written by Joaquin Miller in 1880. — The Strength of the Nation. They drive home the cows from the pasture, Up through the long shady lane, Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat fields, That are yellow with ripening grain. | They find in the thick, waving grasses, Where the ETOWS, They gather the earliest snowdrops, And the first crimson buds of the rose. scarlet-tipped strawberry They toss the new hay in the meadow; They gather the elder-bloom white; They find where the dusky grapes purple In the soft-tinted October light. They know where the apples hang ripest, And are sweeter than Italy’s wines; They know where the fruit hangs the thick- est On tne long, thorny blackberry vines. They gather the delicate sea-weeds, And build tiny castles of sand; They pick up the beautiful sca shells— Fairy barks that have drifted to land. They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops. Where the oriole’s hammock-nest swings; And at night time are folded in slumber By a song that a fond mother sings. Those who toil bravely are strangest; The humble and poor become great; And so from these brown-handed children Shall grow mighty rulers of state, The pen of the author and statesman— The noble and wise of the land— The sword and the chisel and palette Shall be held in the little brown hand. —New York Mail and Express.
