es to be made about the office soon,
which will enable us to get out a much

scarcely be noticed in any other way)

insignificant lot they are!

The series of amusements conducted
during the Holiday season by the Salis-
bury Cornet Band, were, upon the
whole, a great success. Enough money
was realized to pay all the band’s debts
and leave a balance of $47 in the treas-
ury, we are informed. The next thing
in order is for the boys to get them-
selves a nice uniform, which they are
in need of, and then the band will be
in better skape than it has been for
years.
The Ladies’ Home Journal has found
its way to our exchange table, and to
say that it is exclusively great in its
class is but a compliment well merited
by the said publication. No home can
be quite complete without the Ladies’

information for the family circle—in-
formation that is interesting and use-
ful,while its pages are beautifully illus-
trated with fine engravings. It is pub-

generally conceded worthy of special
mention, while the band music and
George 8S. Scully’s performance with
the bones were hard to beat. The af-

lavghable and nade a gerat hit. “And

Bugle Lost in 1866 Restored.
The following, taken from the Frost-
burg, Md., correspondence of the Balti-
more Sun, will interest old soldiers.
The. transaction was brought about
through the efforts of Commander
Slick, of Emory Fisher post, Johnstown:
who is a brother of the George W. Slick
mentioned :
“George W. Slick, of Frostburg, who
was a bugler of the Twenty-first Penn-
sylvania cayalry, lost his bugle when
mustered put. 32, years ago. One day
last week it was restored to him by the
Grand Army post at Johnstown, Pa.
into whose hands it had fallen.”
The George W. Slick here mentioned
is commonly known as “Jesse,” being
nicknamed, after his father, the notor-
ious Esquire Jesse Slick, late of Shade
township, who and the reputation of
being able to whip his weight in wild-
cats, and who was also a man of more
than ordinary intelligence and was
highly esteemed for his business tact
and congeniality.

A dispatch to the Baltimore American

chureh. Frostburg, after first mass, at
six o'clock, Sunday morning: Hoye is
the father of her two children, aged
six years and six months, respectively.
The girl drew a revolver from her
pocket and was prevented from firing

were leaving the church. The girl had

THE HAUNTED INN.
Strange Experience of Two Frost-
burgers at Hay’s Hotel.
Communicated.
Mr. John Hartig and Frank Crow, of
Frostburg, paid Salisbury a visit, last
Tuesday, to take a hunt with “no guns.”
‘They put up at genial Cal. Hay’s ho-
tel for the night and were assigned to
a comfortable room on the second
floor, overlooking beautiful Negro
Mountain in the distance.
After having partaken of their sup-
per, they strolled around town for
awhile, puffing their Havanas and chat-
ting with their friends.
After inquiring about game, such as
getting the desired information from
the Nimrods of town, they concluded |
{ besides
to retire, after having had some de-
lightful “night caps” at the Hay hotel
and at the Valley house.
During the “witching time of night,”
“when church yards yawn,” and after
the mid-nighht crowing of the cock,
John awoke, and behold! he saw a
ghost in his room. He reached for his
pistol, but alas! it was gone. He felt
for his dirk knife, but lo! it was miss-
ing. He tried to nudge Frank, but he
was powerless. He spoke to his majes-
ty the ghost as follows: “Whoever
you are from the other world, give me
a mid-night snooser and I will pay
way back to the country you
came from, as I am a peaceable man
and am not looking for trouble.” But
the ghost, dressed in white robes, point-
ed to the door and said: ‘Come with
me.”
John was hypnotized; he could do
nothing but follow his ghostship.
Where the ghost took him he could not
tell, but he got his “early morning’s
morning” and “delightful eye-opener,”
then fell asleep and dreamed the
dreams of the gods and of the god-
desses.
Next morning John asked Frank if
he had seen the ghost. “You are d—d
right IT did, and I was paralyzed for
fear it might swipe me with the dagger
it carried, so I laid still as a mouse, as
if T were asleep.” They found upon
examining their room that the ghost
had left a tombstone behind, so instead |

Hearing that their friend George S. |
Scully was coming from Pittsburg that
evening, they concluded

that he had a regular arsenal of arms
and “ammunition.” His ghostship
could beware now.
Ilaving secured the services of Wil-
liam C. Wagner for body guard, they |
drove to the metropolis of Somerset |
county and met George.- After ex-
changing cordial and cheerful greet-
ings, the party adjourned for an appe-
tizer at the wall known Slicer house,
but alas! the appetizer was far from
appetizing and cheering, so they jour-
neyed on their way and received “‘good |
cheer” at the old Guthrie house.

IFFora kiss and a comforting word.
He was full of the dreams and ambitions
That youth is so ready to weave,
And proud of the clank of his saber
And the chevrons of gold on his sleeve,
He came from the war in the evening—
The meadows were sprinkled with snow,
The drums and the bugles were silent,
And the steps of the soldiers were slow.

When they laid him away in the mold,

Replacing the ¢hevrons of gold.

His mother yet mourns for her dead.
