BALTIMORE CoUNTY-WHAT WILL she DO ?''-
Under this caption the Baltimore Gazette of a
late date says, editorially:
Baltimore city, in its steady progress of ex-
DansioD, can no more be restricted to its present
corporate limits by the county authorities, than
could Hercules TO his swaddling bands. Like
lin, she must and will have more room for fu-
ture growth. The people emigrating from the
city TO the county, cannot be expected to be long
ander the control of County Commissioners who
belong TO ihe pennywise and pound-foolish gen.
Grafton and who fear to lose a little popularity
by levying paltry sum of forty thousand dol
liars, TO build bridge that would treble the value
of land within ten square miles. hey must
give place TO others who appreciate situation
and see as its inevitable result, that the county
districts nearest the city must drop off by piece
meal, as their needs demand. The people of the
First, Thirteenth and part of the Third district
are even now moving to be incorporated into a
separate municipality. Canton must, with her
wonderful development and increasing manufac-
turing population, incident to the hundred ter
mini OF the Union railroad, demand corporate
powers for her own protection. The district ly-
ing Immediately north of the city, and including
Hookstown, Pikesville, and the population living
contiguous to Druid Hill Park, Govanstown, and
on the Bel-Ar avenue, extending to HALL Springs,
must soon follow and demand the same
''Whst will Baltimore county do2 Where will
be the basis of taxation What will be the rate
of taxation There is no shirking the question.
II must be met, and that right soon.
''What does the suburban section around Bal
timore city demand What must it have2 How
shall the long-fet need be satisfied? What wiI
Baltimore county do ?''
This indicates that the question of extension
is to be an issue for settlement in the near flu
iture.

the new rule requiring prepayment of newspa-

3, on all newspaper exchanges, county newspa-

Lost CHILD FouND.-On the 18th ultimo, a
small child, four years old, of Mr.. Uriah Angel,
residing at Bruceville, Carroll county, wander
ed from home. Every effort was made by its
distressed parents to discover its whereabouts
but without success until last Saturday, when
its body was found in Myers mill dam. 1t
seems the child left home to go where its faith
er was at work, but in doing so it had to cross
Bruceville. In attempting to cross, however,
it fell in and drowned, and was washed down
the stream as far as Myers mill dam. Notice
of the sudden disappearance of the child were
published in all the Carroll county papers, but
it was not until month after the sad occur
renee that its remains were discovered. The
body was not at all decomposed, but after be-
ing out of the water awhile, turned black.

A FASHION Book IMPOSITION The public are
concerned at all times that it shall not be defraud
ed therefore it may be stated that any one who,
at the solicitation of pretended agent, subscribes
for what is represented as Armstrong, Gator &
Co. Monthly Fashion Book" at the low price
of SIS. so per annum and pays the money, is be-
ing grossly defrauded. This well-known Balt-
more house, dealing largely in millinery goods,
issues no such publication. Some imposter has
used their name, however, tn the country around
Baltimore, and obtained cash subscriptions for
such pretended work.
The above is taken from the Sun Of Wednesday
and Tor the protection of our readers throughout
the county we transfer it to our columns More
than one-half of these agents are frauds and i'm
posters, and it would be we'll for people to be on
their guard lest they be taken in by them.

RUMoRED RAILROAD CHANGE.-A rumor is in
circulation with what foundation we cannot say,
that the management of the Philadelphia Will
mington & Baltimore Railroad is about to be
transferred to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company; that arrangements are now being
made, and will be completed for the transfer
about the middle of May. Messrs. FELTON, and
Kenney, it is said, to be elected directors of
the Pennsylvania Central.
Referring to the above the Bel-Air Agis of 9th
instant, says:
"The fact that Mr.. Samuel FELTON,, former
President of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, has already been elected a
director in the Pennsylvania Central, would ap-
pear TO lend the color of probability, at least, to
the paragraph noted above. The event thus fore
Swallowed might possibly cause suspension of
operations on the Maryland and Pennsylvania
Railroad, in which we of Hartford are so deeply
interested. We have reason to believe that the
latter road is indirectly under the control of the
Pennsylvania Central Company, which would
scarcely need or desire better connection be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia than that az
forded by the P. W. & B. Railroad"

CHARLES STREET AND NEIGHBoRHooD. Last
week we called attention to the improvements
in that portion OF the 9th district near North
Boundary avenue. Since then we have learned
OF large negotiations on foot for land near Pea
body Heights, which when consummated will
place two large tracts in the hands of several of
the wealthiest land companies in the city. We
alluded to the widening OF Charles ST., avenue
to loo feet, and We are now assured that it is
to be cut in a straight line through the Wilson
property aud the old Mcdonald estate now own
ed by A. S Abel, Esq, of the Sun. The fact
OF the latter named enterprislng citizen being
connected with the move, insures its success.
Near the city, on St. Paul ST., we hear of me-
gotiationS for the building of row of first-class
dwellings. This property is owned by promi-
nent land company in which are many of our
county men.
We hear of other heavy negotiations showing
that the capitalists of the city are awakening to
the fact that there is money in the lands in that
section. Lots on Charles near Chase street, only
FIVE or six squares from Boundary avenue are
leasing at from $40 to $50 per front foot and
our county lots on that avenue must soon reap
the benefit or such high prices.
One great work in that section which has done
much TO improve the neighborhood, has been
the culverting of the stream running through
the tract binding on west side of Greenmount
avenue south OF Boundary avenue, and thereby
doing away with an old eye sore. This tract
was purch lsed several years ago by the Belvi-
dere Land Company, composed of several enter
prising citizens of our county, Messrs. William
Whitelock, John 7. Graham, j. A. Needles, o.
A. Parker and others. They have been cutting
through Townsend street 10 Charles and grading
Lanvale and other streets. They have removed
from sight the old stream by constructing very
large culvert under the bed of Carter street,
This company by their work will in few months
have in the market nearly 5000 front feet of
lots. For the front on Greeumount avenue $50
feet, they already have a fine offer.
The improvement of this property will add
much to the value of county property adjacent.

SALARIES FOR PosTMAsTERs. Under the act of
July 1864, the Postmaster General is authorized,
from time to time TO readjus the salaries of post

yielded to the government from their offices. A
circular to postmasters will be issued from thede
partment in a day or two calling attention to the
law, and notifying the postmasters that their

1874 To enable the department to do this fair
