widespread attention in our State at this
time, and Us no county, perhaps, IN Ma
ryIand il worse off in the matter of good
roads than our own, we shall make no
apology for adverting to this subject again,
In the first place, We should be pleased
to have the subject discussed in our col
umns by any one who has practical sug-
gestions to offer 1t is only by discus
Sions of this kind or by discussion IN
county meetings that public attention can
be aroused and concentrated for action IN
this matter. In some Of the counties,
meetings have already been determined on,
and almost every where the press is active
in urging a!change in the present disgrace
full road system of the State. Certain
", no harm can come of this agitation
1t will be something to discover the cheap
est method of making the best roads
When this shall have been accomplished,
the battle will have been half won. 1t
the necessary amount of funds to regcn-
crate our roads cannot be obtained at
once, it viii be realized in time. Above
all, beginning will have been made
The first step in many enterprises IS the
most difficult to make of all, and we can
not doubt when the cheapest method ofmak-
ing the best roads has once been discover
ed, that the money viii be soon at hand
to carry the method into effect. We vote
for a county meeting to debate the sub
icct, and in the meanwhile, we offer our
columns to those who may be disposed to
discuss it III print.

E3y~ The corner stone of the New Pres
byterian Church, of this Borough, was
laid on Wednesday, August l4th. After
hymn was sung and prayer offered, Mr..
Reuben r. Cress, the builder, assisted by
Jeremy Mackey, Chairman of the Build
ing Committee, set the stone in place =
Then followed an appropriate and excel
lent address by Rev. Myron Barrett, Of
Newton, n j., under whose auspices,
six years ago, the plans of the church
were secured, aud efforts made to build
it. In the box, which is to be placed in
the stone, were then put, with timely re-
remarks and explanations by the Pastor,
the following articles -
The Jeifersonian, Monroe Democrat,
Philadelphia Inquirer, Presbyterian, and
n. y. Observer. Also, brief historical
sketch Of the church, list of its ruling
elders, its present officers, is Sunday
school organization, the list of subscribers
to the new church, pieces of the coins,
and currency now circulating, and a copy
of the Holy Scriptures. Ere the box
was closed the Pastor desired to have one
more list Of names to place therein. He
wished to have every person there to give
something, and iftdey ,could, their names
would be preserved for future admiration.
In response to this a number gave Of
their money, and quite list was then
made out by 7. NJ. McIlhaney, the Trea-
surer Of the church. The amount thus
realized was 22S dollars.
After this the Rev. r. Pitts offered
prayer, and the benediction was pronounc-
cd by Rev. d. u. Henkel
1t was also announced that dinner was
prepared at the Fair House, and that all
were invited. The ladies there made q

work, and provided abundantly for the
wants Of inner man" The rain inter
rupted the Fair and Festival" till Satur-
day, when crowds visited it, and left sub
sfo'tial profit to the Society They rea.
iized a net profit of about 420 dollars.
We are glad to see very neat sand
stone water table being placed around
the front of the new church, and feel as
sured that there will be like taste and
beauty in the several parts of the build
ing.
