and we are waiting now for developments.

TIE LATEST NOVELTY Since the move
ment for building new Court House and Jail
has been started, our neighboing town ofNorth
East has begun to indulge in the ambitious
dream Of becoming the county seat, and
purposes moving bag and baggage, county
buildings, records, lawyers, offices and all from
Elkton to her corporate limits. So ambitious
project is commemorate in the North Casters
but we fail to soc the utility of the scheme
The distance between the towns is miles which
is not great in these days steam and tecgraphs
Surprising such projectto be adopted, where
in would the benefit TO the county accrue from
the changci The majority Of the people from
the 9TH and 9Th district, reach the county seat
by the cars, to them the difference is IL minutes
ride. The 6,h and 9th districts. are on all aver
age perhaps miles nearer North East than
Elkton. The LIST, end, :,rd, and 4th districts are
all 4 miles higher TO Elkton than to North East
As Ia the natural advantages Of the two towns,
North East will not in anything compare with
Elkton; the one being handsomely laid ont on
a dry plain, the other situated on low bottom
composed of double row of houses on one long
street. After arriving at the Railroad Depot at
North Eas; half or three quarters of mile

Il larger population asuperior class of buildings,
as general thing, and the county property al

a change--nvolving ms it does less desirable
location for the county seat. coupled with the
public expense incident to such changc--is not
among the probabilities, While removal of
the "scai of government from Elkion would
not effect its material interest but for short

ADJUSTMENTS OF THE WEEP -Tba nresent

ADJUSTMENTS OF THE WEEK-The present
week has been prolific of amusements. We
have had tic Bunyan Panorama on exhibition
al the Hall, from Saturday last until Wednes-
day evening, attended by fnll houses every
night except Monday, which was so stormy as
to interfere with outdoor movements This
splendid work of art comes fully up to all that
was promised in the advertisement, and was by
far the grandest exhibition ever witnessed in
Elkton. Those who failed to visit it missed
rare intellectual treat.
On Thursday evening the High Young Mems
Association" gave their first ball in the New
Hall which was decided success, and every
way creditable to the managers.
On Friday evening the Chesapeake Minstrel
Troupe gave concert and exhibition, which will
be repeated this evening. The proceeds are to
go toward the purchase of a band wagon. We
hope tue Troupe will meet with liberal patro-
mage.
