MUslCAL.--A Band has been formed in
in North East, with brass instruments. 1t
has been organized but a few months, and is
already able to perform quite crcditably.
There is, also, an excellent musical company
in Elkton, under the direction of Mr. Lancas-
ter. which charms our ctlzens,t ,ocasionly
with scrcnades of rare and rich Music. AS a
result of this musical influence, half the boys
are now blowing through old flies and flutes
or saving on fddles. The era of music is
on us, ana 1t is a science we are happy to see
cultivated.

GrAmericaus, Wings and all others, Ia
yorahle to the defeat of the sham democracy
in this county and state will observe the no.
,cc for District meetings and county con-
vcntion. The determination to maintain
American principles in Maryland, was never
more firm than at present, and the prospect
of success in the sta was never more cncoua-
sirg.
And so far as our own County is concerned
we never saw signs in any party of a more
determined effort to carry the county for all the
candidates, whoever they may be. The
American Party in this county is made up OF
the l.nge body OF the old wing party, of hun
drcds of old Democrats who deny the right OF
the present Democracy to the name it assumes
aud of hundreds Of young and ardent Ame'i-
cans. who advocate American interests against
all opposition 1t counts in its ranks many
men born in foreign lands, who are n-verthe
less Americans in every feeling. and opposed tc
all combinations of foreigners in this land fol
E,:."l ,".roeoe, under whatsoever guise.
these various elements form a party force
which is sure to secure victory in this coun.
ty this fall.

will remember that at the April Court Judge

Twenty Good Reasons why Ketchum's
Combined Reaper & Mower,

For 1857, is he most complete Maci,ine in use,
aud The one best adapted 10 tie arants
Of the Farmer.
FIRST. Being made wholly of IRON, it
is more durable than any other.
SECOND. 1t is SO SIMPLE that any person
can readily manage it,
THIRD. 1t is SO strongly and well built,
that it cannot readily be got out of repair.
FOURTH. 1t is neat and compact, occu-
plying less space than any other.
FIFTH. The frame is 50 evenly balanced
that there is no weight Oh the horses neck.
SIXTH. There is little or no side draft.
SEVENTH. 1t will cut HEAVY and LIGHT
GRASS equally we'll.
EIGHTH. 1t cuts wet grass as well as dry
NINTH. The new CUTTER BAR WHEEL
acts like charm, lcssenng the draft at least
one fourth in moving.
TENTH. Two horses will work it with
ease in any kind Of grass or grain.
ELEVENTH. 1t is the only machine
with the cutte!-bar directly opposite the shaft
Of the driving wheel.
TWELFTH. The open cutting blad, ef-
iectually prevents CLoGGING.
THIRTEENTH. 1t is changed in few
mi uteS from Mower to Il Reaper.
FOURTEENTH. 1t is the only machine
with REAR and SIDE DELIVERY Tor grain.
FIFTEENTH. 1t is the only machine
which gives the Rakcr entire control of tho
grain, both BEFORE and AFTER it reaches
the platform.
SIXTEENTH. The adjustable spring
seat, aud the new Rcapng Shoe, are adlni-
Fable improvements.
SEVENTEENTH. Seven years of severe
practical trial. with more than 1900 ma
chimes, has proven its decided superiority.
Like wine it grows better with age.
EIGHTEENTH. All the improvements
for 1857 (and there are good many have
been practically and thoroughly tested.
NINETEENTH. Every part Of the ma
chine is made by master worknen and in the
most substantial manner,
TWENTIETH. kctchum's ON oi ned
Reaper and Mower is warranted to cut all
kinds of grass and grain as well as it can be
done with scythe or cradle.
In word, it is just the machine which the
farmer can buy without any risk. because
ample experience has proven that it is relia-
bile in all its parts.
Farmers. send in your orders early, rs the
sales for this season thus far have been more
than double that of last year.
