FROSTBURG, ND, APRIL p, 1870.
1t is pleasant to observe that the Frost
burg .joURNALI rs discovered something in
the School Board WOrhthy of commcnda-
ton. If the Board had ITS headquarters
outside OF GUmh rland we have 10 doubt
oder would hc in love with it.-1taeS.
II is also pheasant to observe" that the
Times has at last gotten on 4 plane lofty
enough to congratulate US upon our indie
pendent position. We icatned from Mr.
Frost last week pleasant item of news con
corning the condition of our public schools,
and we gave publicity 10 ia rather unlsu-
81 proceeding, probably, according to par
~ press ethics But Carlyle says-"Speak
your impressions Of to day i'll words hard as
rocks, and your Impressions ofto-morrow in
words just as Ii; I'd, Il policy, however hon
est, which is quit beyond the pale allowed
by parties to their journalistic hcnchncn
tut 1t enables the correct type Of ncWspa-
pcrs to command the reliance of all in the
justice and imparliaty OF its reports which
those WHO wear collar can never attain.
Speaking of school Board HEADQUARTERS
we can't sec where else they could he so
conveniently located rs at the county-sca
The trouble is in the tendency of seating
everything else there in the way of i'm
provemcnt and progress, to the NEGLECT of
those who are necessarily remote from I'M
mediate oversight As a result of "our
fNr H.,
land we agitated the division of officials
and attention throughout the county. BY
some providcntial means this was done
The results are increased and increasing eff
cheney and higher standard OF progress in
study and decorum than ever before known
i'll the county. And this is what gave rise
to our very favorable remark last week.
CUMBERLAND KROw.-thc Tines SAYS:
Those Frostburg spoilers have very little
room to crow over Cumberland. Such
words as beltrcy, incision, business, celery,
parsley, DC, placed whole class on the
retired list. Think OF spelling "bcIfrry"
be-llc-p-h-r-e-y!
We have here a sample of Cumberland
'io"'S WI TIoStpuiS nc IWttS
tells us it is ''bclrey' and parsley" 1t is
i'll earnest, too, because ii spells bclfrv
twice. In parsley it outdocs Tenant all
hollow. The worst Of it is ii had both these
words to copy from, while our fellows
spelled "by heart" Now we suppose an
other Compositor has been massacrcd for
OVERRIDING kumJcrland Krow. But, TO his
memory be it spoken, he did his level best :"
he struggled as one who had imbibcd, in
ampllfied form, all the sentiment involved

The CANAL.-The Piedmont, Lonacon-
