f THIRTY YEARS AGO. f
J The Items Below Were Current During
Week Ending March 18, 1882.
Campaign for Mayor and Council
men getting warm. Messrs. N. S.
Frost, Enoch Clise and W. H. Koch
suggested for Mayor by Journal
correspondents, and a score of others
for Councilmen.
During the month of February
415,000 bricks were turned out by the
brick works at Mt. Savage.
A bill to punish wife-beaters at the
whipping-post passed both Houses of
the General Assembly.
Peter Whetstone was elected presi
dent of the Fire Department, Lewis
Boettner vice-president, Benjamin
Carson secretary, William Cronin ser
geant-at-arms, and George B. McCul
loh treasurer.
During a terrific storm Wednesday
evening, March 15, 1882, lightning
struck a large oak tree on the east
side of the Lonaconing road, on Welsh
Hill. The residences of Michael Muir,
William T. Close and James Aspinall
were considerably damaged by flying
pieces of oak. A fragment weighing
about 12 pounds tore through Chris
tian Seymour’s house; threw plaster
and lathes over Lincoln Warn, sleep
ing in a rear room, and created pan
demonium among the furniture and
kitchen equipment. The damage to
private property amounted to not less
than $250.
Miners stopped work Tuesday,
March 14, 1882, as a protest against
reduced wages.
James Foard died at Moscow Satur
day, March 11, 1882, aged 33 years,
leaving wife and six children.
A Christmas Stocking.
Now, listen, dearies, while I tell
What rare good fortune me befell
This Christmastide of love and joy,
With naught of sadness to annoy.
Dear Santa Claus to me was kind,
And to my many faults most blind.
Now where some gifts think you he
laid ?
And where the other things displayed ?
Why in a stocking green and red,
And a table small, instead
Of putting on my tree so near,
As he did yours that eve quite drear.
Very child-like became I then,
And fished down deep time and again,
Drawing forth, for each one to see,
As they sat close by watching me—
A silken scarf of bluish hue,
And another all white and blue;
At quite the proper time and place
I’ll have on my coral necklace.
Finally, up there came a pin,
A white crocheted cover within ;
A handkerchief-bag came to view,
And a nice book in box of blue.
Five other books I have to read—
Just exactly the ones I need.
Can you believe it ?—a cold day,
And yet sweet peas before me lay !
They are of satin —many shades,
Which the bright sunlight often fades.
A white lace ruffle was there, too,
And a book for clippings in blue.
Another book, all bound in brown,
He must have gotten from some town.
At any rate, I need not look
For guidance when I go to cook.
Forth came now a white lace collar,
And, in money, a green dollar.
A drawn-work bureau scarf I found,
And a doily with lace around.
A tan-linen handkerchief-bag
Would hold nicely a dusting-rag ;
So very pretty to be seen
Is a stenciled case—red and green.
In green and pink, with much ado,
A table square is stenciled, too.
There’s a table-scarf of tan crash,
Stenciled in blue and black-areal sash.
Many handkerchiefs drew I forth—
All of prettiness and worth ;
Two nice blotters and an inkstand—
Serve me well—when I write by hand.
Four calendars will mark the days
Just so long as nineteen-twelve stays.
A glass hat-pin holder, with chain,
Is a joy that will e’er remain.
When I took out a plaid silk tie,
My ! what a happy girl was I!
A lace-trimmed and be-ribboned waist
Is something of beauty and taste.
Fishing still, I drew, for my belt,
A silver pin—a need long felt;
What, think you, now to my hook
clung ?
Why, two lavender bags there hung!
This thoughtful old man forgot not—
Though he must have been “on a
trot” —
My fondness for bags for sewing,
Leaving one with roses growing.
I will need the crackers and picks—
As my old ones are “out of fix”—
That I found tucked away therein,
As well as pink-case for a pin.
On the table, thirty-one cards
Proved that many friends sent regards
By the same kind Saint loving you—
Now will we not to him be true ?

Acknowledgments.
Miss Minnie E. Hitchins, of this
place, visiting her sister—Mrs. S. G.
Hefelbower, Cambridge, Mass., sent
the Journal last week a copy of “Old-
Home Week,” a souvenir of the Home-
Coming in' Boston five years ago—a
book of about 100 pages beautifully
illustrated with engraved scenery in
and around Boston. Frostburg
could not do so well in. antique archi
tecture, but of “hills that peep o’er
hills and mountains that o’er moun
tains rise,” many views ' could be
furnished.
A note from Miss Alice B. Carroll,
Nanaimo, British Columbia, expresses
gratitude for the invitation which she
has received through the Journal.
“Unless something serious occurs to
prevent,” she writes, “I will be.-in
dear old Frostburg as a Home-Comer.
I sincerely hope the affair will be an
immense success. There is no mail
from the east I look for so eagerly as
that which brings the Mining Jour
nal.”

The Busy Mother.
From early dawn she works—till late
at night;
No rest for aching brow or tired
feet;
Her help brings aid in every childish
plight—
To every baby-woe a refuge sweet.
At night she sits, a babe upon her
arm—
Its tiny head in safety on her breast;
About her knee, secure from any
harm,
She hears the lisping prayers of all
the rest.
As she, all weariness and cares forgot,
Imprints upon each cheek her
good-night kiss,
\ Not with a queen would she exchange
. her lot —
No throne could bring such
happiness as this.
’ Dear, loyal mother 1 we who love her
know
That, clothed in mystery deep, her
kingdom lies
- (Safe and secure where none but she
i may go)
Within the azure depths of baby’s
eyes.
. Tired mother, falter not—each noble
deed,
However small, is watched by One
i above.
He help will send, each wayward step
to lead,
And power to rule each little heart
with love.

To the Mining Journal.
In climbing over the crags and peaks
of these beautiful mountains and see
■ ing the cities, towns, villages, and
hamlets in the distance there is one
city I cannot afford to ignore.
That city is, of course, Frostburg.
I am sitting in anticipation of the
inspiring scene that will be spread out
before me in so short a time, as it
were, by Nature, and history, and art,
for enjoyment of all the Home Coming.
Would to God that I could describe
i the enchanting view of this mountain
city, first discovered and settled by the
. old pioneer, Josiah Frost, and its
’burg, since built and stuck against
the mud on the slippery slopes of the
Alleghanies by the dusky sons of
honest labor!
No wonder that dyspeptics from
eastern cities, fed from youth upon
adulterated and highly-seasoned food,
come here yearly to prolong their
lives, and to divest their persons of
the baleful fumes of cigarette smok
ing, narrow-mindedness, bigotry, and
flap-doodle!
No wonder, I repeat, they returned
to tell their relatives and neighbors of
the glories of Frostburg, and the
■ civilizing and ennobling influence of
Messrs. H. V. Hesse, Thomas Dillon,
F. C. Beall, A. F. Reppert, W. P. Sul
livan, James Weston, Sandy Smith,
and the enterprising Hitchins Brothers
These are but a few of Frostburg’s
most worthy, gifted citizens, and I
mention names for benefit of those
who desire information.
Many of the names have grown up
with the city, and all are indexes to
encyclopedias of universal knowledge,
and well prepared to open wide the
background of their memory and re
relate to you the city’s earliest strug
gles and its glorious past.
I must, therefore, postpone to a
later date a more mature and detailed
description of the mountain city—but
there is a thought that forces itself on
my mind even on this, the first day
that this enraptured vision of Frost
burg’s history bursts upon my be
wildered view.
It is a comparison made between
two worthy gentlemen, of office-seek
ing persuasion, by Bill Smith, of
“Octagon Soap” notoriety, and may
well be applied to the mountain and
queen cities of the Alleghanies. He
said—
“ Should you meet Mr.
twenty-five times a day he will never
speak to you, but if you meet Mr.
he will at once paralyze you,
and if you meet him twenty-five times
he will paralyze you every time!”
There is no affliction of this kind
prevalent on top of the mountain, but
even I myself have been paralyzed in
Cumberland, and I was not seeking
recognition or notoriety either.
But 1 will hereafter spend my leisure
moments in Frostburg, where the sky
is so blue, the atmosphere so cool and
balmy; the spectators so high above,
as it were, perched in mid-air, and
every object of historical value is
within sight, such as “Braddock’s
Stone,” set and inscribed by ill
fated General on his perilous march
to Fort Duquesne in 1755.
Little wonder, then, the good ladies
of Frostburg are working with a vim
and adhering to Mining Journal sug
gestions.
The ladies always can be found in
the front rank as actors, for their
motto is—“an ounce of fact is worth
a ton of talk, and a glass of practice
is worth a barrel of preaching.”
They will go to work at once on
the historical marker, for—
The boys and the girls,
The beautiful women and men,
Are all Home Coming!
We’ll all be together again.
The Man in the Woods.
