STATIONS by the audience indicated entire
concurrence in the grand aim-thc forma-
ton of a new county. As is usual in pub
lie meetings some difference of judgment
was observed us to the proper manner of
procedure
The officers, committees, and audience,
deserve great praise for the dignity, decor
um and dispatch, in these, the iniatOry pro-
ccedings of a movement the successful issue
of which has beer deemed as fraught with
difficulty. But the fact of its foundation in
equity and justice of its large benefits to
our people and section, is so generally con-
ceded that it attracts to its favor &eaaly all
our population.

New COUnty.-Sumebody tainted
the Ne,cs one day last week with an anon
ym0us request to notice in the forthcom-
ing JOURNAL an announcement of the New
County meeting. The Nears called the
naughty whm "cool request" and alto
gether got up about as much ado about
nothing as "wcll regulated newspaper"
generally spurts out.
The envelope in which this gibc was en-
closed extorted some Of the Asrs' superb
tives, evidently written under the impress
sion that it, and it alone, was printed for
the specific purpose of carrying that "cool
request" The Neus goes further and
makes a suggestion
"All that that envelope lacks to complete
the coat of arms of the new county IS the
impression of SEAL for which we suggest
an icicle, Ito represent the GOODNESS OF the
thing) with the words "Frostburg Coal,
ito ease the mind of the Frostburg JOUR-
MALI and "snug." ito express the new
county as defined by the organ.
The "icicle' is one of those brilliant con-
ccptions for which the Neacs is famous, and
which the term "Frostburg Coal" would
define so nicely, especially the Goal
And the term Snug weayes itself so well
into this device. Lets see: "Frostburg
Coal Snug" or 'Frostburg Snug Coal" or
Frost Coal Burg Snug" or Frost Snug
Burg Goa" or Frost Coal Snug Burg
In any event, the "icicle" will show pre-
ciscly what is meant.

DON'T CROWD Your TREEs.-Few
persons escape making the great mis-
take of planting trees too close together.
This is especially observable in ma
.iority of cases where trees are planted
in groups upon lawns. While the
trees are small they look too scattering
therefore few persons can withstand the
temptation of crowding them on account
of the improved appearance at the
time of planting, forgetting that in a
few years a portion must be removed
(Which is seldom, if ever, done,) or all
will be ruined
Evergreens in particular are, as a
rule, planted too close, and the deform-
ed specimens, in consequence, to be
seen in both public and private grounds
in all parts of the country show the
folly of this almost universe, practice
| seldom go mile FROM home without
seeing failures ir the cultivation Of
e'ergreehs' WI ..ch are traceable to this
ohe ili's'S e of crowding. The trees
are p .anted when only three or four
lee high, and half as broad; but a
, half-dozen years makes a wonderful
change in size and appearance, and
unless planted ten to twenty or more
feet apart, their branches become inter
laced, and the symmetrical beauty o.
each crowded specimen is destroyed
Give room, orplant less number, is Q
safe system to follow.

W%M Mr.. John S. Bowles, of Ohio,
writes me as follows:
II see that you advocate a peculiar
system of raising swine, which entirely
meets my approval, only that do not
see how it is possible for farmer to
follow it for more than one year You
say, get good, coarse brood sows, Ches-
ter White or Magic, put them to an
Essex boar, and the pigs will be splend-
i'd. even superior to thoroughbred
Essex So far, all right but what am
l to do next?" Do the same thing
over again, or, better still, select few
of the largest, healthiest, and most
vigorous sow pigs, obtained from the
first cross, and put them to thorough
bred Essex. You will, Judging from
my own experience and observation,
get as good for common purposes as a
man can hope to see If sows from
this second cross are bred to an Essex
boar, the pigs would make splendid
"jointers" at four months old, or migb4

TUE TAX QUESTION. - AS an
nounced, the County Board met in
/ special session last Monday, and, to
remedy their error in assessing
Mineral Point, directed that county
orders to the amount OF 81 500 be
issued TO the city. A majority of
ithe committee appointed to confer
with the Board reported IN favor OF
paying the tax under this arrange,
ment, and meeting was held at thc
City Hall on Tuesday evening, to
consider the matter. Said meeting,
after a stormy, disordcrly discus,
sion, voted against adopting the re-
port, and thus the matter rests
just where il was before any meet
ing was held. As we understand it,,
the ground on which the meeting
refused to adopt the report was,
that the issuing Of county orders
could not fully reimburse thc city,
because, when the orders come to
be paid, Mineral Point woald have
to pay her proportionato Share Of q
daLt incurred for her relief. AT the
tirst glance We, among others, saw
the case in this light, but on eXrla-
nation and illustration, we are CON
WINGED that the action Of the Board
was the best that could have been
taken, and insurcs an equitable adj
justment Of the difficulty, Let us
illustrate our present understanding
Of the subject by sppposing that
Iowa county has a claim against the
thirteen towns for SO. 70 pay this
one dollar is collected from each
town except Mineral Point, and
from her is collected three dollars
two dollars more than her share.
70 adjust this inequality, the County
Treasurer pays, back to Mineral
Point two dollars, which leaves a
shortage of two dollars in the County
Treasury. Now, each town hayilfs
paid one dollar, they are all equal,
and to pay the two dollars due the
county, each has to pay abount l5l
cents. Surely that would be equit-
able.

NO trains have been run over the

Next Saturday the people of that
town are To vote on a proposition
to issue to Luther Beecher such
amount of shares as viii equal five
ninths of the entire stock of tho
road. This, we understand, ia
Beccher's demand, and if the peo-
pie Of Plattoyille refuse to accede
to it, he is determined to make the
withdrawal of his rolling stock per-
manent, On the other hand, if tho
people accept heproposition, Beech
er Will secure a controlling share Of
the stock, and be able to manage
the road just rs his whims or indi-
vidual interests dictate, in defiance
of Platteville and everybody else.
Take whichever horn of the dilemma
she may, Platteville is likely to bo
