The Comptroller of the Treasury
has forwarded State tax bills to the
building associations of the county.
The one made out to the Homecoming
Perpetual amounts to $25S; to the
Frostburg Perpetual, $lel, and to the
Queen City Perpetual over 5000. By
the time the assessors get through
with this same business, the above
amount swill be about doubled. Then,
with the over estimation which char
acterizes these bills, getting the taxes
twice and unfavorable judicial opin-
ions upon the bonus question, we
wonder if the State wont take "a large
majority of all the profits in part
paw?

DEATH.-Mr. William Alexander,
secretary and treasurer Of the Geor-
ges Creek Coal and Iron Company,
died in Baltimore on Monday. Mr..
Alexander was brother of the late
Thomas S. Alexander, the noted chan
Gerry lawyer, and of Prof. John H. Al
exander, we'll kown here as a scientist.
The deceased was for long time tel
Ter of the old Farmers Bank, at An

his adherence to the technicalities
and strictnesses of commercial bust
ness.-Baltimore S,t,,.

man who writes and beneficiary of
the one who reads. 1t gives occasion
for the display of whatever intellec-
tual mesmerism there is in the positive
character of the one, and determining
the extent Of the negative receptivity
of the other. There is a dissemina-
ton of force, at any rate, not so read
lily obtained by any other means,
which is all the more promising as it
is more intellectual and moral. In
short, there are innumerable reasons
why the MINER sets up super-eminent
claims upon the patronage and sup
port Of all the people, particularly Of
Homecoming. 1t claims your subscrip-
tons, advertising, job work, your
good will and good words. If you
have no occasion for advertising or job
work, give your practical aid in the
shape of subscription. And then
persuade your neighbors to take it,
especially if they have boys and girls
growing up, who need the tutelage Of
a good local paper. 1t will pay all
around, because so much aided to its
resources is so much to enhance the
opportunities to make it interesting,
influential and useful.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
Reduction in Price 10 Schools.

A very important decision has been
arrived at by the joint action of the
Centennial Commission and the Board
of Finance, by which from this date
Schools are to be admitted at hal rates,
or TWENTY-FIVE CENTS each. The
result of this action will certainly
prove its desirability. While there
can be no question but that the reg.
ular charge of half dollar is quite
reasonable, yet when it becomes neces-
sary to account for bodies of one
hundred or more, the reduction is of
Importance, and the result is more
than likely to secure the attendance
of these scholars for more than one
day. There is one thing certain, that
as an educator the Exhibition stands
unrivalled. No boy or girl of average
intelligence could make visit with
out deriving permanent advantage.
Every study in which they may be en-
gagged is here presented in its most
picturesque form, Geography, Chemis-
try, Mineralogy, Botany, ETC., ETC.,
may all be followed under the most
favorable circumstances; and, in addi-
ton, much additional information
gained upon such subjects as the
growth and manufacture of Silk from
the cocoon to the ladies dress; of
Glass, from clay and sand to the beau
tiful specimens of mirrors, table ware,
ETC.. of Leather, from the undressed
hide to the ladies' slipper. India Rub
Der is shown in the gum as it exudes
from the tree, and then in all its va
rious serviceable adaptions to the use
of mankind.
At one point may be seen the entire
process of procuring Gold from the
solid rock by crushing, disintegrat-
ing, ETC., subject with which few of
our scholars are acquainted; at an
other, reams Of Paper are turned out
of the machine and then worked on
the mammoth printing presses, sent as
newspapers all over the world. The
beautiful forms produced by high cul-
tured art for domestic uses cannot but
make favorable impression on the
youthful mind, leading to thought and
reflection, and possible adoption in
their homes in far-off western lands.
Thus may be seen the value to the
scholar of visit to the Exhibition
To the teacher it is no less important,
for by this examination ones memory
is refreshed, new ideas brought into
play, and a store of knowledge secured
for future use and illustration.
Sunday Schools should especially
avail themselves of this privilege.
What stronger proof can be given of
the power of God than this wonderful
exemplifcation of his handiwork
through the labor of his creatures

corners, Protestant and Catholic, Jew
and Gentle, all are invited, and the

The campaign is warming up some
what. A short time since a commune
cation, belitting recent Tilden and
Hendricks demonstration here, was
published in the Ne,ss. Forthwith a
valiant "Interlocutor' returns the
compliment through the ANeganian
by showing up alleged disagreements
in the formation Of the Hayes and
Wheeler Club. And now, Mr.. r. w.
Mason rspsls the references 10 him
self and defends The Republican party
with a vigorous explanation. In this
he is seconded by the editor of the
Neus in a manner which evinces a
determination to wipe ''1nterlocutor"
eff the taps. If the latter comes up
smiling there is fun yet to come. Go
ahead, gentlemen, but don't get out of
temper. The outsiders laugh most
over the best natured blows.

has ceased, the Spanish soldiers are

have overspread and utterly devasta-

quantity killed amounted to 10000

for this plague Spain would have to
count 1876 as one of unprecedented
