THE fRIENNIAL AssEssMENT.-The
result of the triennial assessment of the
real estate of Cambria county for 1868
has been published. The figures place
the valuation of the whole county at
81, ,262 1886; but it must be remembered
that the real value is five times the ap-
praised valuation-or over $11 900, ,0OO
Millville borough is appraised at $780,
$50, and is the richest district in the
county. Summitville borough is apprais-
ed at $1,000, and is the poorest district in
the county. Johnstown and suburbs are
valued at $4,000, while Ebensburg is
valued at $4,000. The Johnstown Iri-
bune lays great stress on the disproportion
between these figures, and exultingly gly ex-
claims, "Johnstown is worth ten times
Ebensburg." True; but it should be re-
membered that the value of Ebensburg
has been brought to its present dimen-
sions by the sturdy, plodding industry OF
It's inhabitants, while JohDstown owes its
wealth mainly to the accidental introduc-
ton of the Cambria Iron Works, based
on outside capital, into its midst.
