most important action taken was that Of

scription among the alumni, trustees.
faculty, students and friends Of the uni
versity. 1t Is expected that enough will
be secured to make 1t possible to put up q
building to cost about $50 600. President
Harris has prepared letter stating the
otjsnt of the subscription, and soliciting
pledges. 1t Is not anticipated that there
will DO any serious difficulty In securing
the required amount and IL Is hoped
that It will be possible to lay the corner
stone at commencement and to have the
bull ling ready for occupancy by the open
ing OF the next fall term. A number of
architects have teen invited to submit
pans, but a decision in regard to them
will not be reached for some little time.
During the year 1869 the additions to
the library at the University numbered
2s63 volumes. There has been steidy
increase In the growth for some years,
and the total for the two years and half
since Mr.. Jones was elected librarian
have been over 8, 500 The prospects for
q continuation of this rate during the
present year seem very encouraging
The decimal system OF classification and
the open shelf system are uset, and there

The restoration Of the old Mason and
Dixon's line bstwesn tbs STATES OF Mary
land aud Pennsyivania will bs tie pur-
pose Of bill to be introduced In the State
Senate early In tbs session by Senator
Jacob NJ. Moses Of Baltimore City.
Considerable historical interest as we'll
as State pride IL attached to the bill.
The bill has been gotten into shape by
DIR. william BULLOCK Clark, State geolo-
gist, who has hal occasion to investigate
the length ana regularity Of the line
while engaged In the worx OF the gsolS-
gioal survey 10 the northern section of
the State. DIR. Clark discovered that
the monu nenta that marked the line
have teen destroyed by vandals and oar
ried away. For q considerable distance
there IL nothing to indicate the separation
OF. Maryland and nsyivania, and, In
cons quence, numerous property COM
llicatiops have arisen and lawsuits have
been instituted. Farmers Of both States
owning land that wss formerly bounded
by the line have now no means Of deter
mining where their property ends, and
letters from .Maryiand farmers In the
upper counties have been sent to DR..
CLARK asking information In regard to
the matter.
Dr. Clark, after a surrey OF the ground
conferred with the Superintendent OF the
United States Coast and Gsodetic survey,
who signihed his willingness to supervise
tie restoration OF the old lins and agreed
to supply free of expense trained eDgin-
GERS for the work and to furnish the deli
cate Instruments needed, thus iusuring
an accurate survey. An estimate Of the
cost of the survey and this replacing of
the mon uments IL placed at $40, 600 The
Legislature Of Pennsylvania has already
appropriated Is ono to pay half the ex-
pen 50 Of the work upon the condition
that the Legislature OF Maryland appro-
pirates the other 20 90 for Its share Of
tho work.
{. The Mason and Dixon line runs from
the Delaware boundary Of this State to
the corner where Maryland, West Wiz.
Rinia, and Pennsylvania join. 1t Ia about
200 miles In length and was run between
the years Of 1869 and 1868 by the two Eng.
lish engineers, Mason and Dixon. When
the lins was originally laid stone monu-
ments were placed at intervals Of five
miles az far as the Blue Ridge Noun
tains. Beyond this the liue was marked
simply by heaps Of stones. The original
intention was to place the monuments
through out the length of the line, and
many of the monuments were carried
into the country, but were never set up.
DIR. Clark states that in Washington
County two of them ornament the front
steps OF a farmers house. Some years
ago the States of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania re-ran and remarked the
cid line, SO that the Marylan portion is
the only part remaining only partially
marked. Pennsylvania share of the sx-
