NEW School HoUsE.--A number Of
prominent gentlemen from Mcchanicstown
in this county, were before the County
Commissioners on Wednesday last asking
for new school house in that district.
lnasmucA rs the county has no building
of its own in that large and populous dis
trict, We take for granted the committee
was able to make Il favorable impression
upon the Commissioners. Mr. Boblitz
and Mr.. Charles Cassell were members Of
the committcc-Cdizen.
AQUATIC PFC INC Several families
from our town instituted novel style Of
! pic mic, one day last week, which, we arc
free to say. has besides the merit Of novelty
that OF healthy recreation. They took the
little ones alongside the stream up in the
mountain and divcstiny them of all cloth
ing except the unmcntonab!cs, allowed
them TO paddle and sport for short time
in The clear and bracing waters. Such a
bath, during this sultry summer weather
is worth pounds of physc and outside of
the pleasure evinccd by the little ones, we
believe it to be judicious act
There were five exceeding proud men
in our town on Saturday evening last.
Ne have all seen, what systematic en-
dcavor will do; why not apply ourselves
to the next great object to he attained
here, THE BANK, in like manner as was
done the school house? When we are
able to read statements such as was printed
last week, in which the First Nat Bank Of
Frederick vcltiscs dividend of 7 per
cent, declared for the past six months, it
strikes us, that this community should
have little fear Of realizing at least 6 per
cent net in twelve months.
