A New MAP-A Map of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, Penna. & n. Y. Canal & Rail-
road, with the connecting lines by G.. 4. Asch-
bach, Esq, is before us, and we have seldom
seen more complete and beautiful specimen
of typographical work. The coloring of the
map, and the ingenuity of the plan which rend-
ers all its details so clear even to the most
obtuse, reflect great credit upon Mr.. Aschbach,
to whose skill as draughtsman and topo-
graphical engineer wehave often taken pleasure
in calling attention.
We notice with pleasure also that the fame
of Mr. Aschbach as an architect so well earned
by his labors in this city, has induced the
authorities to engage him to prepare plans for
the building of the "Wickersham German
English Normal School," at Brodheadsville,
which plans are to be ready by the first of
July. If every other part of the work of the
establishment of that school is in such good
hands as is the preparation of these plans,
there can be no reason to doubt the successful
establishment Of this institution, which we re-
ioice to see is starting under favorable auspices
1HeRtowp Nelrs.
The management of the Wickersham Ger
man English Normal School is under control
of Rev. D. Z. Schroeder, hard working and
efficient scholar, always full of work and ener-
gy, and we think the establishment has a good
man at its head in the person of d. E. Schoed-
Ter. We are also glad to note that the pros
poets of the institution are promising.

The deceased, desirous of reaching his home
in Paradise township, attempted to get on

to attend to his hurts. After examination
and consultation amputation was deemed
necessary, and the operation was most skill
fully performed. As soon as it was deemed

was quite movement for position going on
last week near Quantico, where the two lines,
the Richmond and Potomac railroad extern
sion ends and where the road that is being
built towards Alexandria by the Pennsyva-
MIA Central begins. The engineers of each
line were as wary and military-Iike il their
evolutions as two hostile armies One party
would advance and retire, whilst the other
moved forward to occupy the disputed terri
tory. It is reported that Mr. George B Rot
erts was in consultation with the president of
the Orange and Alexandria road. with view
of obtaining the right Of transit over three or
four miles of the latter's road next to Alexan-
dria, in order to save that much construction.
