Upon the petition of a number of Meyersdale voters for an order from Court dividing that borough for election purposes, Judge Kooser has appointed William P. Meyers, Simon Marteeney and Jacob W. Peck, commissioners, to examine the conditions and make a re- port to the court at the next term of Quarter Sessions. If the commissioners determine that the district should be divided they are to make a plot of draft of any proposed new election district, unless the division recommended can be described by natural boundaries. The last assessment shows that the town has eight hundred and twenty- nine voters—too many for a single pre- cinct.—Somerset Standard. Gov. Thomas’ House Burns. The old bomestead on what is known as the Governor Frank Thomas farm, near Frankville, Garrett county, was entirely consumed by fire on a recent night. The blaze was undoubtedly of incendiary origin as the property was unoccupied and was undergoing re- pairs at the time. The house, con- structed back in the sixties, was a queer but attractive looking building, of many gables, wide verandas and large, airy rooms. Governor Thomas added many improvements to the place in the shape of outbuildings after his return as U. S. minister to Peru under the Grant administration and occupied the property up to the time of his un- timely death in 1875. He was killed by a Baltimore & Ohio train. The farm belongs to John Gleason, of Pied- mont.—Garrett Journal. IN SUMMER. Why does the sun burn? Why does a mosquito sting? Why do we feel un- happy in the Good Old Summer Time? Answer: we don’t.

Henry Blough, and mother of our fellow townsman Jacob Blough, reached the ripe age of 80 years on Tuesday of last week. The occasion was fittingly celebrated at the home of her daughter, Mrs Jacob M. Kaufman, who resides near Davidsville, this coun- ty, and with whom the venerable Mrs. Blough now has her home. The fol- lowing named relatives and other per- sons participated in the anniversary celebration: Children: Harvey, Jacob, Elias, Ephraim and William Blaugh, and Carrie, the wife of Jacob M. Kaufman. Grandchildren: Lloyd, Morris, Nor- bert, Omar, Orpha, Clemens, Stella, Minton, Clinton, Charles, Earl, Floyd and Bruce Blough, Vinnie Kaufman and Mrs. Lulu Arnold. Other friends: Mrs. Harvey Blough, Mrs. Elias Blough, Mrs. Jacob Blough, Jacob M. Kaufman, Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Shetler, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac S. Kauf- man, Mrs. Lizzie Kaufman, Mrs. David Weaver, Mrs. Hiram Blough, Amos Kaufman, Harry Kaufman, Mrs. Mary Berkey, Mrs. Simon Layman, Sylvester Blough, Leroy Blough, Roy Weaver and Goldie Shetler. The occasion was a most enjoyable one, and Grandma Blough was the re- cipient of many handsome and useful presents. THE STAR wishes the good old lady a goodly number of other days just as happy as the one on which her 80th birthday anniversary was cele- brated. THE BLANKS WE KEEP.

Moonshine whiskey has been drifting into Ohiopyle and Confluence lately, but the source has long been a mystery. Some wise revenue officers are said to have made a thorough search for the secreted still, but with little success. These “revenuers,” as they are known by mountain folk, pretended to have a superior knowledge of the matter, but the flery stuff continued to find its way into both towns after the government men had left. It remained for a force of Wabash surveyors to clear up the mystery. While working about Confluence they heard tales of the mysterious still, but thought some of the natives were romancing. It is said, however, that one of the party became slightly ac- quainted with the illicit booze. A few days ago while running lines in the neighborhood of Bidwell, between Confluence and Ohiopyle, a party of the engineers located a spring. While still in the neighborhood they nnearth- ed the missing still. Some moonshine whiskey was also located, but the moonshiner was missing. No signs of him have been discovered.—Connells ville Courier. : The New Court-house. It now seems to be a certainty that the court-house contractors will not have the new building far enough ad- vanced to hold the September term of Court in it, as announced several weeks ago. They are, however, pushing the work as rapidly as possible, and some of the delay is caused by the fact that changes have been made and other work added that was not included in the original contract. The hundreds of visitors who inspect the building week- ly are loud in their praise of it, and as a rule all are patiently waiting for the finishing touches.—Somerset Standard.
