PEACE TO ITS AsHEs.-The dreaded end
has come. The Baltimore and Cumberland
railway project has been relegated with the
antiques. The mask has Al last been taken
of the mystery and the citizens who 90
about mourning on the streets ask, "Whst'
ever il, isn't is it :" This thing Of beauty,
this would have. been promoter Of an INDUS
trial triumph, has passed into nothingness.
The columbian has at least ceased after two

BRUNswICK's VoTE.-Brunswick voted to
make a loan of 100000 for street purposes
but defeated the $40, 1000 loan for water. We
can very readily understand how the latter
proposition was defeated; while water sup
ply is among the essentials of the modern
town and while municipal debt is not to be
put down al wrong in principle, yet Bruins
wick is as yet too small to risk the burden OF
90 great debt. It is unfortunate that q
place 80 inaccessible to water should have
been chosen at which to found SO thrifty =
town as is Brunswick, unless there were
foundation for the certainty of very much
greater growth than it has attained, and that
there are positive grounds for asserting.
The B. & O. railroad interest has about ex
pended itself in increasing the town and
henceforward its growth will depend upon
the enterprise of the town itself; in that case,
unless exceptional energy is developed, twill
probably be some years before 1t can hope
for water supply that will cost as much a.
$4,000. In the meantime, it will suffer in
convenience aud pay high fire insurance
rates. We congratulate them however upon
their prospect for good streets.
MEMORIAL DAY.-Bright and propltious
weather WAS vonchsafed us on Saturday last
for Memorial Day, something to which we
have not been privileged, as a rule, to &C.
knowledge on that occasion. This with the
knowledge that specially interesting pro.
gram would be offered, contributed to the
gathering of the largest concourse of people
ever present on q similar occasion. An &C.
tual count exceeded five hundred In the line
