Guano notwithstanding the extremely
low prices of wheat, our farmers appear to
be going as extensively into the use Of this
fertilizer as they have done for the two las,
years. During the pas, week alone upwards
of one hundred tons were shipped from Bal
timore to this and Chaptico Districts From
four to five hundred tons, we should judge,
will be used in St. Mary's this season.
Our county still continues very healthy.
BY causing vegetation TO dry, instead Of de-
cay, the weather has shortened the harvest
Of the physicians very materially.
P1oughing Operations have long since
ceased, and pastures are wi'hered beyond all
hope Of recovery. The mil-slresms, too,
are all failing, which renders it matter of
considerable difficulty to obtain meal for
their families.

OCEAN STEAMSHIPS OF BALTIMORE

OCEAN STEAMSHIPS OF BALTIMORE
We are happy to perceive (says the Wash
ington Repu6lic) that our sister city of Bal
'imore, whose fame for building clipper
schooners has spread all over the world, is
about TO follow the example of more north
ern cities, by the establishment of an ocean
steamship line. We have long been con-
vinced that Baltimore, to hold her relative
commercial rank and keep even with the
growth of other cities, would have to follow
this course; and, in her doing so, we are
also satisfied that neighboring places, includ-
ing our own city, will be very materially
beneftted

| HUssEY's REARING MACHINE.-We copy
from the Oxford (Eng.) Journal the follow
ing account Of trial Of Hussey's Rcapine
Machine, made in that vicinity some three
weeks since. 1t will be seen tina, it was
completely successful, and as the inventor
is citizen of this State it gives us addition,
al pleasure to record this evidence of his
success
wish having been expressed by many
of the principal agricuIluris,s in this neigh
borhood to test the reaping machine which
has been invented by Mr.. Hussey, Of the
United States, Mr.. Gillian, of the Bear Hotel.
Woodstock, put himself in communication
with Messrs. Dray s. Co., agricultural i'm
plement makers, Swan-lane, London, who
have bought the patent right, and succeeded
in obtaining their consent 10 test the merits
of the machine, provided tina. fair oppor-
tunily of doing so was afforded them. In
consequence Of this, The Duke of Marlboro
and Mr.. Aulbur Solhan undertook to find
crops of barley and clover where it should
be tried, and to provide horses, Sc neces-

Iv, on Monday last the machine was tested,
first in field Of barley belonging TO Mr..
Arthur Sothan at Woodlcys, near Wood
stock the crop was heavy, but standing up,
with good plant Of broad clover under it.
The machine was worked by two strong
Suffolk cart horses, attached to pole, like
that of coach, and performed lis work in a
most ef1iclen, manner. The stubble was
left very even, and the machine can be regu-
lated so as to leave long s,ubble and plen-
ty Of sheep keeping. or 60 close TO the
ground. The machine was next tried in q
field Of laid barley, belonging to the Duke Of
Marlboro; bu, in consequence Of the barley
LAYING in so many directions, 1t did not sue
coed in doing its work SO we'll as IN the
standing crop. 1t was next tried on piece
Of clover, belonging 10 the Duke Of MaH-
boro', where i, performed its work in an ad-
mrabIe manner, and cut off the clover clean
and WELL On The following day the ma
chine was again tried in another field Of BAL
! ley. belonging to the Duke of Marlboro,
and, by litIle alteration in it was enabled
to perform its work in an equally efficient
manner, with considerable saving otlabor.
! The experiments excited considerable in
lerest on both occasions, and among the
spectators presen, were a number of dis
unguished gentlemen.
The Duke Of Marlboro was so satisfied
with the working of the machine, that he

farms, bu, also gave the proprelors the fol-
lowing es,monIsl in his own hand writing.

The following communication is taken
from the Rockville Journal:
WILLIAM III. TUCK.


The gentleman whose name heads this
communication is prominent example of
wha, industry, slric, integrity of conduct,
coupled with natural talent, may accomplish
under our happy institutions.
Born TO no fortune, his earliest years were
perhaps spent the more probably, because
The first prompting OF reason taught him that
he must be the architect of his own fortune
and position in life. He could not afford To
waste wha, means Of improvement were Of
fered, and depend upon herdilary wealth or
power Of connection TO exc out The de6cen-
cies that would result; for. TO neither the
one nor the other Of these agencies does he
owe any Of the respect his name commands.
Some twenty years since he left Annapo-
lis, (his birthplace,) and entered upon The
practice Of the law a, Upper Marlborough,
which has ever since been his residence
Struggling manfulIv and with earnes, pur-
pose against the difficulties that attended the
opening career Of modest unoblrusire
stranger, by slow but certain degrees, he
worked his pathway TO professional emf
nence and personal competence, and now
stands among the people of his adoption
unsurpassed by any in their unhesitairg
confidence in his stern integrity, respect for
his professional ability, and personal esteem
for those qualilles that win regard for the
citizen and love for the man.
Nor is his reputation merely local-it is
not alone in the labors Of professional oc-
cupalion, or the pleasant sympalhies of So
cial intercourse, that he is known. The
public history of Maryland bears on many
page, the impress Of his services. As q.
frequen, member of the House of Delegates,
no man won higher or more appreciated
reputation for useful and practical ability
and, as presiding officer of that body, he
left fame worthy of the imitation Of all
who may succeed him, to the latcs, period
By the action of the late Convention (of
which he was a member) The office of Judge
of the Cour, Of Appeals has been m de cleo
tive, and for that position his name has been
placed before the voters Of the Second Judi
cial District. His professional qualifications
for the pos, cannot be questioned, and his
whole life, public and private, is one broad
letter Of recommendation, wi.hou, spo, or
bIemi>h.
Should he be selected, it will be another
instance Of modest worth, not only mer,ing.
but (whal by those who dlslrust popular
judgment. is deemed somewha. difficult Of
al,ainmeni) winning and receiving the peo-

BALTIMORE MARKET.
OCTOBER 4. 1856.

OCTOBER 4, 1901.
GRArN.-Uheat.- There has been little or no
variation in prices throughout the week. The
sales of good to strictly prime reds have been made
at 73a75 cents of whites at 76aS0 cents and of
family -four whites at 60a85 cents, and we con-
tnue to quote the same prices to-day.
Corn.-To-day we note sales of prime white at
60a61 cents, and Of prime yellow at 63, Ga, and
65 cents.
Oats-Sales, as in quality, at 30a34 cents
Clorerseed.-The market has been rather unset
tied. In the early part of the week sales of new
seed were made at $500 to S515; but these rates
were not maintained, and sales have recently been
made at S5.25 to So per bushel.
GUANo.-The very active demand experienced
this week has again nearly or quite cleared the
market. There is still fair inquiry. We learn
that three cargoes daily expected from Peru.
The import this week is 1896 bags from coastwise
ports.
ToBAcco.-There has been a good deal of ami
nation in the Tobacco market this week, but oW-
ing to the difficulty of obtaining vessels willing to
go to Europe at this late period, the transactions
have not been very large. The season is also SO
far advanced that planters in Maryland can make
fair estimate of the extent of their crops and
although tobacco planted early, and even in mid
summer. turns out well, that planted late is, in
many cases. an almost entire failure. Owing to
this fact of the agents have received orders
to withhold stocks at present. The transactions
in MARYLAND comprise about 500 hhds., within the
range eff quotations, viz:
Frosted s3a3 so; inferior So 50a4; good COM
mon 81 50a5; brown Sc 50a7 SO; and fine brown
SSa9.
The inspections of the week comprise 400 hhds.
MARYLAND, $50 hhds. Ohio. l4o hhds. Ky, and
hhds. Indiana-total 81 hhds.
The total inspections this year are 1886 hhds.
against 81, ia hhds TO the same period last year.
