A LITTLE NORTHERN COLONY.

This morning, we saw colony of five
families from Northwestern New York,
embracing eleven grown females, as many
men, and twice or thrice as many chill
dren, who have come on together to take
possession of some three hundred acres
of land upon the plank road, within a
mile of the northern boundary line of
Washington city. This property is to
cost them but S1lO per acre. They pro-
pose to follow market gardening, and
will, no doubt, succeed admirably. We
welcome such settlers in this vicinity
gladly, because they almost invariably
bring industry, thrift, skill and good
habits; improving all around them, no
less by imparting to others better skill in
some part of their business, than BY the
capital example their steady attention to
business affords to all in connection with
whom they are thrown.
