operation on the first instant This system
is intended to promote public convenience
by afording cheap, immediate, and safe
agency fer the transmission through the mails

cannot readily be procured The mode by
which safety is secured consists in leaving
cut of the order the name Of the payee or
party for whom the money is Intended. In
this respect money order differs from an Or

will furnish the applicant with printed form
of application, in which the latter will eater

ty days from lis date but the Postmaster

ton uf the oayee upon the payment OF sec

Roger B. fancy, Chief Justice of the Unit

age, and thrt Of the tenure of his high
Office. Well may the nation mourn at the
bereavement. A great and good man has
gone from US. and gone, too, when we most
needed the influence of such men; and we
repeat, in every State of the ancient Union

North o! the South, there will be genuine sor

Bloomer, We suppose) attempted to Introduce soms
years since, we learn from tho very highas. Dom
tic authority, is now about to be revived un Ter
more favorable auspices.
The reason it was 80 generally taboaal is prpba-
bly, owing to the fact that it so readily adopt

ing habit it is not elegant anl graceful as the
broad, flowing skirts. Ladies VINO engage in aozss
work, and cuiinar7 empl oyments, after several
years experience, have discovered that hoops are
not convenient in the kitchen. The Bloomer IS
therefore receiving more favorable confederation
than heretofore

find the short skirts and turkish trowsers on the vo-

the Union. Every public road in the State
will be accurately shown from actual sur
vcys, and every..public place, such as Post
OGiccs, thurches, Stores, Mills, Schools, dc.
The Map will be about six by four feet in
size, and on large scale, sufficient to show
everything very clearly and distinctly, and
every county will be even more perfectly
shown than on county maps, as everything
contained on the county maps will be given,
excepting only the farm houses, which could
not be crowded on n state map, and many
additional Improvements made, such as the
distances on the roads from one road, cross
ing to another, the depth Of navigable waters
in the Bay, Rivers, Creeks, &C., and every
thing that may he useful and interesting
couceIhiIS lHt ctatc.
Particular care will be taken that every
thing shown shall be accurate and precise,
that the Map may be found complete and
reliable i'll all respects, so that all questions
concerning localities in our State, that may
arise, can be settled by reference to it.
He refers to his first effort, the Cecil
County Map, rs an earnest of his final State
Map, with the improvements of the last
seven years experience, and for further
minute description of the same refers to
handbills which will be posted throughout
the county by his Agent.
NATHAN l.. JANNEY, of Bay View is
the Sole Agent for Cecil county, and will
call on the citizens and receive the names of
subscribers to the time Of publication, and
can give further information, as well rs the
publisher, to those desiring it,
