PRESIDENT GoRMAN, accompanied
by several prominent citizens, last
week made a tour over part of the
canal. He is reported by the Sun
correspondent as thus expressing him
self on the occasion in regard to ca
nal TX ension to Baltimore
Mr. German says that it is the settled
policy of tho directory to reach tidewater
at Baltimore by the long contemplated
branch of the canal via Jessup's Cut to the
Patapsco. The Marylsnd House of Cor
rection was built at Jessups so as to have
the convicts of that institution accessible.
to this work. When the labor of the pris
oners is more available than at present
they will be set to work to dig the canal
With the size of the locks of the main ca
nal doubled and this branch completed it
is believed that Cumberland coal sutii-
cient to supply the manufactures and steam
vessels of the world may be delivered at
tidewater in Baltimore cheaper than any,
where else.
We are very glad to have these
views from Mr.. German. That gen.
tleman's close Identification with ca
nal interests and Maryland politics
and his shrewd intelligence, give his
uttsrances weight. We hope before
many months to see the canal extern
sion to Baltimore under construc-
ton. From all accounts the job will
be neither difficult or expensive

BITUM1NoUs CoAL.-The producers
of this coal feel greatly encouraged
by the prospects OF Labor tr ub,es :
le HEthracits mines. They reallz
hat only the abnormaliy low prices
of anthracite coal are preventing
them from doing very large bust
ness this year. Should an important
strike occur at the anthracite mines,
that class Of fuel must advance and
the prospects of the bituminous pro-
ducers would thereby be increased.
There is liberal amount of bust.
ness doing, but prices are as low as
at any time. All important contracts
were made earlier in the season so
that there does not appear to be
much activity.
From al article in the Frostburg,
Maryland, JOURNAL we learn that
the Georges Creek and Cumberland
railroad ia opening the eyes of the
management of the Consolidation coal
company to the true position that
company should hold, namely, that of
large producer of coal upon the
most economical basis.
The production of bituminous coal
for the first six months of this year,
as compared with thu like period of
1873. is encouraging. The Cumber.
land region shows an increase of
97,O73 tons and the Clearfeld region
an increase Of l22. l52 tons.

AS a Summer Resort.

Frostburg, Allegany county, Mary
land, is regarded as pleasant sum-
mer resort. 1t is situated in the AL
legany mountains. eleven miles west
of the city of Cumberland, on the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania Rail
road. 1t is surrounded by as grand
scenery as can be found in the White
mountains or elsewhere and is nearly
two thousand feet above the sea and
eleven hundred above Cumberland.
The climate is most healthy, the morn
ings and evenings delightfully."- cool
and pleasant. Nowhere can one go
to find sleep more refreshing. The
noted Dams mountain is but short
distance from this place. The view
from there is said by tourists TO be
one of the grandest and most extend
ed in America. Frostburg has pop
ulation of about five thousand, with
fourteen churches, some of which are
very fine large and handsome stores,
two fine opera houses and pretty
country homes. There are in success
fol operation a boarding and day
school for young ladies, private Gay
school and large public school. The
town is lighted with gas, and sup
piled with water brought in pipes
from mountain springs. The accom-,
modations for summer boarders are
very good, there being two or three
large houses (besides hotels,) hand
somely fitted up for the purpose

FoR once the NesOs has taken gerry
bold local position, spiced with lit
tie sauciness. In reply to our gentle
reminder Of its ignorance concerning
the why and wherefore" of the
Mines Commission, it has actually
published the following aggressive
paragraph:
We would have our contemporary under
stand that there are no reasons why the
Nesos will not hold and express its view OF
the Mines Commission And neither the
above quotation, or anything the JOURNAL
has so far advanced, has tended to alter
our opinion that the creation of the Com
mission was needless, and consequently
an unnecessary and therefore inexcusable
tax upon the public
Of course that renders all efforts
in the direction of fairness in that
quarter useless, and we suppose the
Commission will be compelled to
wriggle through without the favor Of

R1Es.-Frostburg was never better
supplied with Accommodations for sum-
mer goiourners. Besides additions to
former establishments, new places
have been provided, and unusual care
taken to make them pleasant, COM
Portable and home-like.
But with all this, there have been
fewer applications for summer board
this season than for several years past.
So marked is this fact it is matter of
doubt whether some landlords will be
reimbursed for the outlay made.
We have been too slow to make a
reputation as a summer resort. 9th
