TIE eliminating point Of The highest
state Of prosperity obtained by CrcagcrS-
/ town was in 1872 t. when MIR. iIcNpEill, Of
Philadelphia, Il Ll.mbcr Of Congress from
Pennsylvania, had introduced a bill into
the National Legislature to construct .
TurnpiNc Road from Buffalo in New York,
to New Orleans, Louisiana. This road, il
was urged by the author Of the bill, would
serve as a ligamCnt to bind together the
North and the South, ccmcnt the bonds OF
Union and augment trade and travel along
the route, and be the means of creating Il
general state of prosperity. 1t was thought
the road would pass through Crcagel'sloWn,
and speculation ran high as to the impetus
it would give in building up and improving
the place. The then active citizens Of thr
town took warm interest in the matter,
and it was then believed that the vision Of
Thomas Beatty, (@rcat- Grand-iath OF Hon.
John Ritchic,t Tic old Sheriff and Colcc-
tor OF Frederick county, when he laid out
'Ncwtown,' would be realized. Mir. Il.
once had IN idea that CrcNgcrHtuWn would
outstrip Frederick in wealth and popula-
ton. This theme was seized upon, and
john Brlcn, of Catoctin Furnace, Col. ia
cob Cramcr and Col. james Johnson, of
Springfield, caught the allinspiring amc.
a meeting was held in Crcag"rStown on the
subject, and il WAS addressed by Gcn.ThoH,
{. Worthngton, then Il caSlidatc for Con
gross, who advocated the measure and in
surcd his election on that "hobby.' All
looked hopefully for the passage Of Hemp
bills bin as Tie rainbow Of peace and pros

HOW no PREVENT CRIME.

The Alta California expresses itself
with great generosity and truth as fol-
bws:
ssThere are many prisoners in peniten.
tiaries and jails who would not have
been there had the public treated them,
Ia their helpless and unprotected youth,
as children OF the public, entitled to kind
treatment, judicious direction, and a
reasonable education. Comparatively
few are they who become criminals, out
laws and felons from choice. 1t is the
cruelty and heartlessness of society that
makes very many OF our candidates for
ne State Prison. There is nothing lost
by taxing care of the young and help
less"

very few born into the world who would

an often wild, restless sea. But the fish

Our City Fathers appear to have for
weather and need for ice again. Every
summer there is a call for Ice in the
Davidson Fountain and Parks, and the
sry is, and very justly, that it is too eX-
pensiye. The city has now large Quanti-
ties of clear, heavy ice on the lakes at
Burnet Woods, at Lincoln and Eden
Parks, and at other points, and more
would quickly form if this were removed.
Moreover, it has in the Work-house a
large number of able-bodied men who
are being fed and clothed at its expense,
and who are probably quite as capable
Of cutting ice as of working at trades
which ordinary men spend years in
learning. BY expending little of this
latent labor upon this otherwise useless
property, the only expense required to
obtain large supply of excellent ice for
the city's use next season would be the
erection of ice houses, which would cost
less than will be paid out for ice for the
city in a single week. This might not
be Of advantage to the ice companies,
but we have yet to learn that the city at
large is under any special obligations to
them. Here is chance for the philan-
tbropists in Council to call down the
blessings of the painting public upon
them next summer without any special
exertiOn, and besides save to the city
large amount of money for ice actually
required and annually paid for at exor-
bitant rates.
