their hospitality and good morals. The city being situated at an elevation of from six to seven hundred feet above tide level, ia free from miasma and its climate pure and healthy. It has grown rapidly since the war, and now with cheap fuel and cheap iron, offers unusual facilities for the successful establishment of all classes of iron manufacture. Persons would do well to further acquaint themselves with its facilities before locating elsewhere. The Cumberland Steel Works, an important enterprise, are located near the city ; they manufacture a fine quality of steel, and make tool ateel a specialty. A. Hunter Boyd, Esq., Attorney-at-Law, State's Attorney for Allegany County, has furnished us with much valuable information in regard to the city and county. His office is No. 3 N.

FROSTBURG
Is a growing town, the second largest and most important in Allegany County. It is situated near the headwaters of George's Creek, on a plateau between the Great Savage and Dan's Mountains of the Allegany Range, seventeen hundred feet above tide. The location and climatic conditions are eminently healthy, and the town is already favorably known as a summer resort, notwithstanding the accommodations have hitherto been confined to private entertainment. The great want is a commodious hotel. The almost universal conclusion is, this is a fine opening for a profitable investment.
. The town is near the centre of the great George's Creek semi-bituminous coal region, and midway between Cumberland, Md., and Piedmont, West Va., on the line of the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad, and enjoys quick connections with the great trunk line railways, east and west.
