In this res pect they have long been noted for their liberality, and hence their sales hew: been much in excess of other towns not less fa vorably situated. There may be an iso lated case here and there where money is transferred to other markets with a view of purchasing such ankles cheaper, and such have doubtless in some instances been successful, and yet in the end perhaps not, benefited pecuniarily to the extent of a popper.

M. Road 68 :niles 'from Baltimore, at its present terminus, and 'yet our freights to title water are mai to 140 miles of R. J.—that is to say that we can 'place our ✓ commodities, at tide water Baltimore. as cheap by R. R. 140 miles, as .we can by' the 68 miles of : W.' M. Road—so that practically i this)hrte of road is at present of as little advantage to us as it seems to the city of Baltimore. Hence we see our interest in the acceptance by the city of Baltimore of the proposition made by a new R. R. Company "Baltimore & Wes tern. itp. R. R. eg." This new company proposes on certain conditions, named in the article referredlo, to build Within 12 months, a double It.til Road from the W. Md. Road to Lido water nt, Curtis Creek 7 —and to expend the sum of $500,000 in the 'improvement of the road bed and rolling stock and in providing suitable fa cilities for handling coal at Williamsport —and within six years to construct and equip a. Rail Road between Monterey or Hagerstown, to Johnstown 'Pa., (it is to bo hoped that they will agree to strike out Hagerstown in this article of the con tract,) and thence in pa; and mineral n - he North branch of the Poto- toe . . In extending the road to Johnstown, Pa. it is proposed to utilize existing lines, supplying all necessary links. If the ex tension is made from Nlonterey via Wad r,iesboro', to Mount Dallas, t 4ro links of Monterey to 3rarion 18 •miles and the otb er connecting the S. Penn'a. Road with Mount Dallas, 30, miles and 20 more al ready made to the Broad Top coal region, making the whole line pnly 153 miles— while by the . Baltimore and Ohio road it is 178 miles from Cumberland to Balti more. In case the new Company should conclude to leave us out in the cold and use the W. Md. Read to Hagerstown, thence, to . Marioa, only ono link of 30 miles of no ti road need be made, but it would make the whole line 143 miles to Mt. Dallas, a difference of tan miles ip fa vor of Monterey. Yours Truly. J. P. jIR EDITOR.—Last week Ex-Pedagogue spoke of progress in schools,' (n yogr na p r. It may interest the little folks to give mal scraps, 4bout the year A. D. 1810, the school was taught in a log house, one story high, east of Waffles boro, and just North of the Toll gate, now kept by Mr. Gaff. Ali who wish to compare houses can see both the anciegt style and the modern, at one time, hy tak ing a walk a little distance below town.— Children, think of it in those days ven tilation was obtained by picking the daub ing out of the Walls ; in the fall the teach er and purils filled it up with mortar of their own manufacture! John Alexander taught school there, some of his penman-. ship is yet extant, preserved by one of his female pupils, who has during 1874 gone to meet him in the spirit land. It appears to me that a Mr. Flannigan also taught there. The house has been occupied by the Dowlin family for many years; two or three miles was the distance for some to wade the snow to reach school. Girls learned to read and to write their names and sometimes letter 3, as well 48 to mem orize the multiplication table i Ileyond this few arrived. They were not cram med and worn out with many studies and tittle exercise as now a day; hence they are healthier than the next generation will be.
