A GREAT WoRK.-Thosc who read liter
airy reviews have, doubtless, from time to
time observed notices of the American Cy.
clopedia, now being published by the
Messrs. Appleton, of New York. As re
gaIds its superiority, we believe there is but
one opinion among critics-for the Amcri-
can reader and student it has no peer
For the benefit of those who have not Ia
ken the pains to post themselves in regard
to its preparation. and in view of the I'M
portancc of all possible perfection in such
work, we invite attention to 4 few peculiar
features in the makeup of Appleton's
Cyclopetiia.
As an illustration of the great care used
in order that the highest excellence may be
attained. we mention one or two subjects
and the manner of procuring information
thereon.
FuM-thc subject Of EdHcat5on. This
department is prepared by Mr.. f. ). Dronc,
and contains general statement of SYSTEM
alto education, together with its history IN
the past and details of systems in favor IN
different countries, giving special proml-
ncncc to those of America. Before putting
pen to paper Mr.. Dronc collected all the
published material that could he found IN
the form of trcatiscs, reports, pamphlets and
documents OF every description. lie then
nut himself into correspondence with the
Bureau of Statistics at Washington and va
rious Commissioners OF Education, besides
both in this country and abroad In due
time he obtained from more than dozen
different sources a large amount of fresh
material collections of facts, and valuable
suggestions. lie spent several weeks put
ting in form the information Obtained. lie
then had every article put in type, and sent
proofs to all the authorities whom he had
consulted by letter, and had them make
corrections and suggestions, which he after
ward incorporated in the article. Proofs of
the article were sent to London, Paris, Der
lin and Vienna, as well as to various places
at home. The result, rs may be imagined,
is the best resume of information on this i'm
portant question that could be made.
As this space will not admit of reviews of
these various departments, we will mention
only few distinct features, believing "a
word to the Wise is sufficient"
All departments are managed by special
lists In cNhaustivcncss in the number and
quality of engrayngs and the beautifully
colorcd and accurate Autograph maps, the
work is complete, and too much can scarce
ly be said in its praise. In short, the latest
and best information is given on all Subjects
To those whc are not already subscribers
we would say-a Cyclopcdia is necessity
to all who would III any degree keep pace
with this busy age. Appleton's is the best
Now is a good time to subscribe for it, as
the plan Of delivery brings it within the
reach of all
The agent, Miss Gladly, is stopping at the
McCulloh House, where she will be happy
to show specimen copies to those desiring to
examine the work.

The New County.

As the days lcngthen, and the sun, i'll
his daily course, climbs further towards
the zenith, we are admonishcd of the ap-
proach of spring, and with ii the time set
for survey of these two countiCs-Al.c%a-
ny and Garrctt-to ascertain, as required
by the Legislature, whether or not there
he sufficient area in the two to admit Of
the formation of new County. TO say
that it is the impression of cd surveyors
living in our midst together with others,
that the territory is moro than is required
by the Constitution for the formation of a
third county thercfrom, would be only to
repeat what has already been frequently
said.
What seems necessary to the writer at
this time, is the raising of the fund ncccs-
sary to have the survey made by a COM
petcnt person. As is well known, a Bill
was passed by the last Legislature author.
izing a survey by a competent surveyor to
be appointed by the Governor, the eXpen-
ses of the same to be borne by the people
interested 1t has been suggested, and one
would think wisely, that the probable cost
of the survey he ascertaincd from some prac-
teal surveyor, and that subscription be
then started to raise the fund, nothing, how
ever, to be paid by the subscribers until the
whole amount be subscribed.
Though liberal offers have been made by
several, the tax upon individuals would
not necessarily be great. Fifty-ccnt sub
scriptions would greatly add to the fund,
and with the five and ten dollar subscrip-
tions of the business men, or men of prop
erty, would yield the amorl' .c4uired for
the purpose. CITIZEN.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I desire to call the
attention of the municipal authorities to the
wretched condition of some ofthc sidewalks
Of Broadway, which, during the present
weather, are almost impossible.
In the early part of the week there issued
from the Presbyterian Church and ParsOn-
age lots stream of water almost sufficient
to turn a grist mill, Overlooking the side
walk to such extent that pedestrians we're
forced to use the street in preference to wa
ding shoc-top deep i'll water.
There is no pavement on either side III
front of the lot on which Porter's Hall
stood, and it does not seem as though there
there are evcrto be any again. Every thaw
i'll that vicinity affords the Broadway resi-
dents al opportunity to test the depth OF
the most prominent of the numerous mud
holes i'll that vicinity.
Is there no remedy? II so. why is it not
applied? If not, the sooner this farce of To-
cal government is disbandcd the better for
all parties concerned. BROADWAY.

The unreasonable drought in New
Hampshire with the fact that many
of the brooks and springs are frozen
solid, hi Is fair to result in serious in
convenience to farmers and the man
ufacturing industries of that State
In many Of the towns farmers are
obliged to melt snow to get waiter for
their cattle. The Ilillsborough Mills,
at Wilton, and Morse, Haley & Co. s
mills at Milford, have stopped because
of an insufficient supply Of water. In
Nashua the mills have been running
on about half time, and the corpora
tons are paying the board Of their OPP
erativcs when the latter are idle. The
Nashua and jackson companies Will
both start with steam on Tuesday,

DIPTHERIA.-The New York Ex-

ease very similar to it, if not exactly
the same, was an epidemic among Ger
tain Of the English nobility as early
as the eighteenth century.

An able address on the general in
terests of Ohio was made recently by
7. Ewing Miller before the Column
bus Board of Trade, Among other
things lie said;
There were mined in this State
last year about 100000 bushels
of coal, and the Hooking Valley Rail
road brought to this city nearly D.
$1,000 bushels. In close proximity
to the coal fields are to be found iron
ore, limestone, and fire clay in almost
lnexhaustable quantities. But what
avail are these great treasures unles
we bring them into use? If ldIene S

bodiment of our future, Each one is
the representative of The name and

A RoUGH REMrNDER.-The remarks be
low were appended to the A0rs synopsis
of our locals last week:
The above make up onc-thitd of a column
of local items in the Frostburg JoURNAL,
of Saturday. The balance were taken bod
ily from the Nc,cs but withou, any credit
whatever.
We arc always prepared to acknowledge
due obligations to the daily papers. To
dcbtcd for the news items which make
them of interest to the large class of people
who have little time or inclination to cX-
pend in daily readings. The dalies are al
so really liberal in tie matter of exchange
"A concession which, of course, goes very
far to the advantage of the weelslics
Hence, we reluctantly refer to the local
piracy above alleged. We wish to show,
however, what were the other two-thrds
of that Column:

cality by substituting the name of our rep

berland. The financial report and election
of officers we could have obtained from any
one of the Baltimore dailes, las the Ne~S
probably did, without infringing Il copy
right, and becoming liable to a public
scolding.
4Second-Thc inevitable list of Real Es-
tate Transfers, the weekly publication of
which by this time must be an enormous
offence. What amount of penitcnce will
cxpiate it we will be happy to know and
happier if it corresponds with the editorial
ability and enterprise displayed in these
monotonous items. We have probably
been too skeptical of the evident monopoly
held by the Ners on the Clerks Office in
telligence bureau. If 50, We have been
further misled by The conduct of our con-
temporarcs who have published them I'M
disturbed.
But, seriously, isn't it rather small work
to remind cont incorporates OF these unim-
portant derelictions? We have never
done it although we have had good oppor-
tunities, some of which have been furnished
by the Ne,cs , and we think we never Will.
In conclusion, we ask tie N1rs to bear
with us. We may forget locals, but we
will never omit to give it credit for real
live editorial opinions we may copy from
it. With any thing it can use Of our locals,
etc, it may do as it likes; we will not step
away from our duties to quarrel about it.

Coal AND IRON.-From the Coal and
Iron Record of Saturday last we CLEAN nc
trade changes of special interest. In Penn
sylvania both the anthracite and bituminous
production are largely affected by the lock
out, or strike, which prevails.
Iron trade prospects are encouraging.
A later report through Saward's Coal
Trade Journal of Wednesday says;
In BituminOus Goals there is a quiet trade
doing, but it may not be ont of place to re-
mark, that Notwithstanding the serious re-
verses sustained by the railway and steam
ship interests, large consumers o. our Btu
minous Goals during 1S13-'1+, the output
of Cumberland coal was but Il tritlc more
than ten per cent less in 1874 than in 1873
From this it may be expected that
with revival of industrial pursuits, the de
mand for this and other Bituminous Goals
will certainly increase, taking the place of
Anthracite.
