FRosTBURG PUBLIC ScHooL.-From
an interesting review of Public School
statistics in the -AUeqonjo1 we clip the
following paragraph with regard to
the Frostburg School;
The following teachers We're employed in
the Frost burg Public School during the past
year; Capt. r. r. Sanncr, principal, l.. III.
Gehman, Miss A. Z. Brown, Miss Sydney
Snyder, Miss Allie Hartzcl, Miss Jennie
Miller, A. Bogk. The total attendance
during the fall term was SOB; winter term,
SOB; spring term 593; during the entire
year, $40 different pupils The attendance
for the previous year 5S7 for the fall term ;
winter Term 81; spring term 492 total
number of different pupils during the year,
SO. There are some striking condolences
in the statistics of the Frostburg public
school For instance, every term this year
had the same attendance, 593 and the total
attendance this year is exactly the same as
last year, namely, $40. BY the mathematics
of chance, according to the usual formulate
set down in the books, it will be unlikely
for this to occur again in one million years
and few over.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER q, 1876.

The return of the British Arctic expedition,
announced Yesterday, is but another victory
gained by the forces Of nature over the power
of mao. Agaio has the mighty batterlng ram
of modern science, ingenuity aud skill been
driven against the mightier ice barrier that lies
between the human race and tine North POLE
and again it has been broken in the attempt.
For centuries "the great circle which has the
North pole as it's centre and some 1900 miles
of icy sea for it's radius" has been the held 10
which human endurance, pluck ADD SKILL nave
exhausted themselves 10 vain.
It is comparatively easy to reach the oOth
degree Of north latitude, and explorers OF every
nation have often done so, and more than once
American aud English explorers have gotten
few hundred miles further, but sooner or later
all have been compelled to succumb. With
out ample heat, either natural or ARTIFICIAL
mans work, it seems, Gao oeVer be done, ana
in the polar climates it has been found practl.
cally impossible to create arti6cialy supply
of heat sufficient to generate the force needed
for the conquest of that region.

With view of overcoming the difficulties which
arrested the course of Captain Hall that the
British government fitted out the expedition
of Captain Mares, which has lust returned.
Capt Mares was furnished with two Vessela,
the Abort and the Discovery, powerful screw
steamers, fitted out with sledges and every con-
ceivable aid 10 the exploration. 1t was intend
I'd to take the route up Kennedy channel, the
