This leaves deficit of 17l9 in the
number; but as parts of several dis
tricts, viz: Frostburg, Mount Savage
Westernport and Homecoming, will be
embraced in the limits of Garrett,
it is likely that the new county will
have an excess of the constitutional
requisite In the matter Of square
miles nothing need be said, as there is
no doubt that the territory has a much
greater area Times.

The First NiOlctS.

Beautiful hcralds of merry spring,
Fragrant, pure, and snowy white;
What a world of joy you ever bring,
Like smiles which speak of earth's de
light,
That the winter winds have ceased to blow
And dance with the whirling flakes of snow
| have waited long o flowers fair,
To see the winter gray depart
To catch Your breath on the scented air,
As the gates of spring are flung apart ;
And now on your snowy heads | press
Such grateful kiss-a mute carcss
And what though you fade as soon you
will
The dearest things are the first to fade
will only smile and bless you still
For joy your fragrant stay has made {;
And thank "Our Father for having given
A sketch in flowers of happy Heaven.

considerable degree of interest among
the citizens Of the entire county. As
anything relating thereto will be of
interest to our readers, we give the
following statement as to the popula-
ton Of the proposed new county,
based upon the census of 1870. Ac-
cording to the Constitution Of our
State the new county must embrace
400 square miles, and must have a

REGISTRY IN New YORK Cry
The bill to provide registry law for
the city and county of New York has
finally passed the Legislature Of that
State. The bill is elaborate and
searching in its provisions, and seeks
to place efficient guards against re-
peating and other forms Of fraudu-
lent voting. The chief forms of the
measure, says the T1b,me, may be
found in its cumbrous and complica-
ted machinery but it seems to leave
every possible avenue Of the dishon-
est voter closed.

A case, novel in its character, and
of considerable interest will shortly

forced vaccination of child by the
Health Authorities. 1t seems that II
health officer thought it necessary to
vaccinate child residing in district
infested with smallpox, and though
the parents protested and the child
resisted, the officer inserted the virus
into the arm. Shortly after the father
claims to have ascertained that the
health of the child was destroyed by
the introduction of scrofula into its
system through the forced vaccination
and has sued the Board of Health
laying his damages at $4,000. This
case will decide the powers of the
Board of Health, and bring to light
much valuable information. 1t in

ton as to how far the will of citizen
shall be regarded or consulted in the
enforcement of laws deemed necessary

ARBITRATION DIFFIcuLTlEs.-The
demand of the U. S. Government
for consequential damages growing
out of the depredations of Confeder-
ate privateers upon U. S. commerce,
has stirred English feeling to its
depths. The newspapers present
strong protests against their enter
tainment by the Geneva tribunal, and
urge that England proceed no further
until the United States abandons the
claim for indirect damages. The good
sense Of both countries will be, we
hope, sufficient guarantee against open
rupture, as no amount of money can
compensate for spilled blood.

father:

Accordingly the colt was caught
