Survey Between FaIlstOn and Bel Air,

Mr.. EDITOR We have just completed our
leveling between Fallston and Bel Air, via Falls
ton and Baltimore pixies and some of the results
arrived at will doubtless be of interest to your
readers. The distance from Bel Air to the juno
ton OF the pixies at Oakland School is 4 miles
lacking 24O feet; thence to Fallston p o. one
mile lacking 2SC feet; the total distance miles
lacking 620 feet.
The highest point in the whole distance is op-
posite the new Presbyterian Church, north of
Fallston. This point is about 6 feet higher than
at Fallston P. o., and q feet higher than at
Ambler's Store. The junction of the pixies at
Oakland School is seven and one-half T715l feet
lower than at Fallston post-ofllce. The cross
road at Beaumonts shop 32 feet lower; the next
cross road, the "Old Bel Air road" is 1876 feet
below Fallston; the road at Garrett Amos's lane,
is 1872 feet below The point west of the bridge
at Archer IL Towards Mills, the lowest point, is
214 feet below Fallston. The fall is 2S5 feet to
the surface OF the run, and as Falston, by our
leyeling IS a93 feet above tide water the run has
fall of l6S feet to tide water or 81 feet to the
mile for milcs-an immense power but vet
slightly used. The deepest grade in the pike
as we go up towards Bel Air from this point is
opposite the third stone tenement house, / feet
to the 100, for distance of 100 feet. A point
in the pike opposite Mr.. VanBibber's house is
lob feet below. The toll gate is ia feet below

The Republicans and Reformers of Bal
timore, who asserted that party had lost its
claims upon them, and that they were for re-
form under the banner of Henry NJ Warfield,
Reform candidate for Mayor, have deserted
that flag, and enlisted in the Workingmen's
party. The consequence is, the editor of the
american will be unable to carry out his
promise to President Hayes OF "clecirifying"
the State by the election of Reform mayor
in Baltimore, and the election of Col. George
p. Kane is thereby assured.

Air, by the burning of a quantity of clothing
in the dwelling house of Thomas Armstrong.
1t appears that one of his little sons was
amusing himself, in room up stairs where
the children were sleeping, Ivy burning tissue
paper. The flames accidentally reached some
dresses and other clothing, hanging on the
wall, and in moment the garments were in
blaze The children were nearly suffocated
before they were removed. The neighbors
came promptly at the alarm, and prevented
the flames from setting fire to the build

fall trade is encouraging
However the case may stand with other
commercial centres, there is no longer any
room for doubt or question as to the revival
of trade here in the metropolis. The fact is
