The WcNthCr.-The ancient custom
of predicting the going out of March upon
her manner of coming in was duly made and
satisfactorily realized this year. The "lamb'-
like iniatory days were fully Offset by the
lion like farewell of the stormy old dame.
Her last day ushered in a beautiful snow"
storm, which continued until Thursday
morning, after which thaw set in, slush-
ing the pavements and muddying the streets
until one almost impiously thinks the clouds
had garnered all the wet in Frostburg.

Letter from Texas.

Mr. EDlToR-A few jottings from Tex
as may perchance be interesting to some
of your numerous readers. The climate
seems to be all that is desirable. i'll way of
sgreeableness and health. Your readers
being familiar with descriptions of lis gen
eral phases there is no need here of elas)-
Grating details on the subject.
For the last three weeks we have Lad
rain almost every day; fortunately the
farmers generally had finished planting
corn. A large area of land was sown iii
wheat last fall, and the waving grain now
promises an abundant harvest There is
fear of rust if the rains continue long.
Cotton planting does not begin until April.
1t is surprising that oats are not more eX-
tensively cultivated here, the yield being
SO large-from sixty to eighty bushels per
acre-and requiring such small amount of
manual labor, especially since the intro
ducton of mechanical labor, that being Il
successful competition even in Texas.
Prior to the introduction of railroads,
almost beyond the bounds of civilization.
To induce emigration, enormous land
grants were offered to families who came
here to settle These grants each consisted
of eleven leagues, comprising nearly forty
eight thousand acres of land. Tie heirs
to many of these grants have lost their IL
ties, and the land agents in many localities
are on the look out for these lands. They
then find the heirs, and, for large per
cent. of the interest, aid them in securing
their legal titles.
Railroads are rapidly revo!utionizing
this section of country, the construction OF
which costs only about one hall rs much
as in Maryland AS soon as the several
contemplated lines are completed the min
cral resources of the state will be developed
Large veins of coal have been discovered
in close proximity to one Of the now eX-
listing roads sufficient to supply tie de
mands of this market, if coal should be
adopted as substitute for wood. kaolin
clay exists in large quantities and is saio
) to produce fire proof brick superior tc
that manufactured from fire clay. Out
groupings of silver mines are known to ex
list, promising large yield, and as soor
as practicable will be developed. The
owncrs are not quite prepared to MAKE
public these items definitely. The Lont

Probable Failure-Thc Ne'es of
Thursday intimates the probable failure of
the Miners Protection Bill at this session of
the Legislature 1t says:
"Our adviccs from Annapolis are to the
effect that the short time before the session
ends will not allow the bill Il chance of
success"
This bill has been the occasion of much
effort and liberal expenditure on the part of
those whose interests it was designed to sub
serve. In addition to other expenses rep
resentative delegation has been kept at An
napols to press its claims, who succeeded in
a timely introduction and appropriate refer
ence. Since, however it has slept with the
committee; its report Il week ago evidently
came too late for consideration.
Since the above was written we observe
the bill passed the House on Wednesday and
IL now before the Senate, with some mater
isl changes, as noted below from the Ne,es !:
l. The Inspector holds Office at the pleas
ure, and not for the term of office, of the
Governor who appoints him. 2. The In
spector shall have attained the age of TWEEN
ty-five years and shall possess a complete
knowledge for his duties, but is not requlr-
ed to pass an examination. 3. The Board OF
Examiners for Inspect rs is not created
4. The office shall be in Allegany, land not
in GarIett) 5. The expenses of the lnspec'
tors Office shall be borne by Allegany and
Garrett counties, divided according to their
accessible basis of taxation.

The Canal ExtensiOn.--T h {

most cherished hope of our Wcstcrnport
friends for their town to become the great
laling point of the coal region, cia the Ches-
apcakc and Ohio Canal, seems to be willing
If we may base the suppostion upon recent
suggestions nfthe Cumberland Duly Neacs.
At the Canal extension convention held
in Pittsburg a short time since, Col. T.
STEWART SEDGwICK, the intelligent engin-
Ger having the survey Of the proposed ex-
tension III charge, made a statement very
favorable to the Savage river route. which
would afford Westernport the important
distinction which she claims and deserves.
But the statement has been the occasion of
some alarm in Cumberland, whose citizens
have long since learned that no other local
ity in Allegany has any rights which they are
bound to respect Hence, any proposition
looking to any diversion of business or trade
to other points of the county are regarded
with disfavor, no matter whether Col. SEDG-
wIcK's or any body clse's superior engineer
ing or other skill pronounccs to the contrary.
Some claim is therefore set up for the Wits
Creek route, the adoption of which is f1outcd
by many who know something of canals; or
that, if adopted, will amount to practical
defeat Of the whole project, and the terni-
nus remain exactly where it is. 1t is true,
the latter route has not been surveyed, but
enough is known to assert that in comparl
son with the feasibility of the Savage river
route, it falls very far short Of many i'm,
portant we may say Indispensable requisites
But the enterprise is far too important to
be slaughtered by any process originating in
Cumberland hOcus pocus. 1t aims to ac-
complish for the Atlantic seaboard and the
country through which it passes what is
sought in Virginia by the james River
and kanawha Cana and upon which mil
lions have already been almost hopclcssly
spent, and the company clamorlng for
millions more. Hence, to prove for our
enterprise superior practicability is to OBJ
kain that which else goes to Virginia, to-
gethcr with loss of all the benefits so
loudly and reasonably claimed forit.
The fact is, Cumberland IS, never was,
nor can INC inc proper pIatc ioi 'he 'iihA
nation of the Canal and we are glad to
know it was never designed to be. 1t
should reach from the Chesapeake to the
Ohio to fulfil the gigantic object of the pro-
jectors. 1t is prc-eminently proper this
object should be pursued because it can
never fully realize its mission until it is at
tanned.
That it is practicable the authoritative
testimony of Col. SEDGwICK sustains by
citing Savage river as tile route, which will
he chosen unless Cumberland can cstab-
lish the gnis ,tut"us of feasibility along
Wills Greek, and bamboozle those who
will have charge of the matter into its
pursuit.
But if the Canal must stop at the eastern
base of the Alleghanies, by all means let it
be extended to Wcstemport, the most con
venent and only legitimate outlet thereto
from the coal region.

The Howe Machine Cor,s,a-

Ane Howe MAcSelRe come pa.
ny.-As the recent cmharrassnents of the
Howe Machine Company, from outside
causes, have been widely known it is pro
per that a somewhat dctailc account of its
present condition should be equally wide
spread, and it gives us much pleasure to
promise that the real facts show that t..
Com; any is in a most Unexpectedly sound
and prosperous condition. The mortg:g''
to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
been released. and there are now no other
cncumbrances whatever on the property of
this immense manufacturing concern.
1t has been the practice of this company
to pay all its employees on Tie 10Th Of every
month. That is, on the 18th of February
they pay all wages due for the mouth OF
pay for the month Oh February, and so on
through the year; but it is well known that
during the panic, the company failed to
make payment with regularity or to the f, II
amount due. We are now informed that in
the month of February all wages, about
$4,000, due to the first of january We're
paid in full, and in a month or two, the
company expects to resume its former prac
tice of paying promptly ard in full on the
regular pay-(ays The company has now
six hundred and twenty-five employees
working cigh, hours per day, and making
about two hundred and fifty machines dali
ly. On the first of April they intend to
rcsutuc the ten hour system and put on
more workmen
During these hard times the company
has made a very careful estimate of its pro-
perty and liabilities, and they find that their
total assets at a fair estimate, exceed their
total liabilities by the immense sum of nine
million eight hundred and thirty eight
thousand dollars, exclusive of the Glasgow
factory, which has not been affected in the
least by the temporary emharrassmcnts OF
the company in this country, This show
ing is certainly very gratifying and we trust
that in future the company viii enjoy its
old time prosperity. Bridgrpon Dnly
