mcnt.-Wltha promptitude and zeal TO
be commended the people of Frostburg
have Instituted action looking toward
more protection against fire. The lesson
recently taught us, alarming and costly as
il was. seems about to be made profitable
In fact only an experience like this would
have been fruitful in awaling the people
to an apprehension OF the situation, so in
different was public sentiment to a coEsid-
Grafton of the peril which constantly threat
cned us, But we have at length realized,
not only in the loss actually incurred, but
in the imminent peril to which the town
is subject from Il fire in any quarter, the
utmost importance of thorough prepare
ton for emergencies of this character. No
citizen can now close his eyes to the dan
ger which hescts us nor do we believe any
one is wilfuly blind to the necessity which
thus impcratiycly demands immediate and
complete provision against disasters by
fire
But there is a zeal which is untempered
by consideration In our haste we might
omit precautions nearly or quite indispcn-
sable to effective results. We have some
peculiar circumstances and surroundings
to deal with, and it will he wise TO avoid
complications that might Immediately or
remotely involve us in perpleXity and en-
ba-rassmcnt. 1t will be we'll to move
with circumspcction and TO investigate
with calc all the propositions submitted for
the improvements We desire to add for the
promotion of our safety. Wherever diff
cutics arise in the way Of our progress, let
us seek to avoid, or remove them by action
certain alike in lis honesty and results.
With this platform TO work on we can
afford TO be decided, earnest and Jealous, to
BE thorough in act, as we have been in
thought;
BE stirring as the time; be fire ecth fire Il;
Threaten the thrcatcncr, and OUTAGE the
brow
OF impending horrors

has been on visit to the mine of the New
Reading Coal Company at Wcstcrnport
After paying a compliment to OWEN RIoR-
DAN, Esq, Superintendent, lie says, REFER
ing to the Goals of the lower veins:
"Thcre is a strong prejudice existing in
the minds of the public against all Goals
mined in Allegany, with the exception OF
the Big Vein. We well remember the pref
udice that existed twenty years ago against
our Big Vein and the stru Gle we had to
prove lis superiority. Time has wiped
out that prejudice and it stands now unrl-
vailed in the market So it will be with
our smaller veins Time viii wipe out the
prejudice now existing against them, and
the day is not far distant when there Will
he more openings on our six foot vein and
its superiority rs a steam coal will not be
questioned. There is now twcnty-siX open
ings on the big vein in Allegany county,
with limited area Wlworked. These open
ings must annually decrease, then, ut the
present rate of consumption where are
we 10 get our supply but from the lower
veins? The Reading Company will be
able to ship a hundred tons per day after
the first of March The coal is improving
as the headings are penetrated into the

Brothers will reap rich reward for their
enterprise, and they justly deserve it. |

TERc burned Epis.rict.-Fro
what we learn we fear some of our friends
who own the burned district are intcn
ding to repeat the wood building plan.
In the estimation of some this ground is
more valuable n0w than before the fire, on
account of the opportunity afforded for
the erection of more becoming and sub
stantial cditiccs If this view he correct,
(and it seems to hc) the rebuilding of
wood tcncmcnts is to place the valuation
words, the expense of re-crc'tion is al
most wholly lost, and the ground in consc-
Quoncc of such tcncmcnts dcprcciatcd if
anything, below its real value.
We hope, however that such buildings
will be put up rs nearly tirc-proof as prac-
titablc; that the ground and location may
be duly appreciated, and the appearance
oftllc town improved as it certainly needs.
