Buy PIECE OF LAND.-George Bsrstow,
Of San Francisco. in his speech at g Troy a,
the railroad celebration. after speaking Of
the effect Of railroad building upon business
and the value of real estate, gave the follow
lug wholesome advice to the assembled null
,;ude:
Let me say 10 any man here present, pur-
chase and own, il you can, some portion of
the soil of California. Next to being welded
20 q good wife, get welded to the soil Of
your country BY the bonds Of proprietorship
Do you live in the interior !; Own it there.
YOU live at San Francisco ? Do the same
,hing there. But be an owner somewhere.
II you have family, it is doubly important
10 be an owner of land. When a traveller
walks through London he finds the city is
about eighteen miles long. All the land in
that eighteen miles is held at prices almost
fAbulously high for building purposes. San
Francisco is to be another London. Yet at
the distance OF eighteen miles from Mont
2omery street land is only little more than
its value for agricultural purposes. Secure
piece Of It while it 10 cheap. 1t will prove
apology of Insurance to you. And with the
exception of good name and bright ex
ample, it is the most valuable legacy which
you can leave to your children.
Chunks OF sense in that speech. A
man with a wife and babies enough to keep
the house from getting musty should insure
his life (before he attempts to talk with an
insurance AGENT and then get all the land
be can buy.

Sixth District Items.

We wonder why it is that while so
much is being written from other parts OF
the county OH various subjects, thi. part,
or more especially, the Rising Sun, which
should be, as its name implies, Source OF
light to its surroundings, should be behind.
This being the general planting season
the fences are being put up, gardens laid
out, &C., &c, about the new houses of the
town, which will improve the appearance
of things generally very much.
Farming is mostly we'll forward in this
part of the county. The corn and many of
the potatoes arc planted; oats and wheat
are doing remarkably well, and we are in
hopes of having plentiful harvest. -
The orchards show fine bloom, and
the prospects are favorable for a larger crop
of fruit than we have seen for some years.
There has been an addition to the bus
mess of the town in the shape of Green
Grocery and Provision Store, which will no
doubt be great convenience to many Of
our citizens. There is no Bakery here yet,
and every one makes their own "pes and
things
One other thing appears to be wanted,
which is more commodious town hail.
The Odd Fellows Hall is now also used by
the Good Templars and American Mechan-
les, but it has not capacity to accommodate
a large audience There is one in the
Thompson House, but it is not much larger.
Your correspondent took a trip down
the railroad the past week. and on the way
stopped at Colora Station to find out if
possible, what had happened there to Gre
ate such a sensation among the puerile
bipeds of "Korner Ketch;'' or who had
trodden on their toes to cause the unusual
noise. 1t appears that the Pc. has been Or
dered removed from the latter place to this
new but more convenient location, on the
railroad where there can be daily mail, that
can accommodate a large area of the county,
without extra cost for carriage to the de-
partmcnt, better than the old West Not
tinghan P. o., at the g corners
There are always two sides to a place;
and here as elsewhere the log cabins of a
past age stand face to face with modern
improvements, to mark the lapse of time
The railroad from here to the river follows
down the serpentine course of Basin Run,
and one of its tributaries, until it ncars the
Octoraro where its way is cut through the
solid rock which towers above your head,
and even Ger hangs, in places, enough to
make weak nerves tremble, and looks, as
the train approaches, like some dark cavern
or crevasse of the Alps. Altogether the
scenery along the river, with mountains
and laurels on one side, and the Susque-
hanna dotted with isles on the other, is one
not surpassed by even the far famed Water
Gap, and we believe the natural beauty of
scenery will continue to draw large num-
Der of travellers over this route from Phila-
delphia to Baltimore.

Concert.-All lovers of vocal and instr,

Concert.-All lovers of vocal and instrll-
mental music, and those having taste for
the drama, will have an opportunity of in
dulging those tastes On Thursday evening
next, May Goth, at the o. F. Hall, Elkton.
The Port Deposit Brass Band will give an
entertainment on that evening, which, from
what we have heard of the talent of Prof.
Barry as vocalist and native humorist
will give the performance a feature as orig
inal as attractive. Prof. Barrys song of
Pat Murphy, ian imitation of the bag pipes
accompanied with the banjo, is said to be
something wonderful, and is alone worth
the price of admission. In fact we have
heard so much in praise Of the wonderful
powers of this genius in song and hnmor,
that we confess to an intense curiosity
to see and hear him. Barry will sing a
number of songs in costume, as will be seen
by the programmes, which will he found in
the stores and public houses of the town,
and he never fails in giving side-splitting
entertainment.
The character of the entertainment, it is
needless to say, will be such as the most
cultivated and moral audience will approve
and enjoy. The proceeds are to be devoted
to purchasing OF paying for the instruments
of the Port Deposit Band. We have had
such positive assurance from persons en-
tirely competent to speak in such matters,
of the superior excellence of the entertain
ments given by this company Of musical
amateurs, that we hope,-when the object
is remembered also,-to see well-filled
house, on Thursday evening next. The
price of tickets will be fifty cents: children
under 10 years Of age, 25 cts.

Chesapeake City Items.

Summer.-Summer days are visiting us
once again, and the scorching rays of the
sun tempt us to "pull off our hides and sit
in our bones" but thinking our odd ap-
pearance would cause laughter, we will
content ourselves by waiting patiently till
evening shades draw near, and we can en-
joy the gentle zephyr as it passes, and
catch each breeze as a God send"
Surprise Monday night, at the
Good Templars' Lodge, the members were
all surprised by a presentation of two large
pound cakes. The donors name was con-
cealed but it is the wish of all that he may
live long and always bake as well; and we
will insure that cake will not go begging
up in the Good Templar's room, if whisky
does.
Mad Dogs-Quite a number have been
running at large. Last Tuesday morning
one made its appearance on Main street.
Women stood on tip-toe; children were
frantic; the men looked on as if mad dog
was rather thing for discussion, and that
it should be we'll proven that dog was
mad before an execution was performed;
that an attempt at having fits might be the
effects of the dstemper. However, think
ing the dog would be no loss to the corpor-
alton, and that the powder and shot could
not be used to a better advantage, Mr.. Dog
soon found an asylum in the arms of death.
The town authorities should enforce law
that all dogs should be muzzled or shot.
Opposition to Music.-Who is at the head
of closing the church doors and prohibiting
the choir from practising? Certainly moth
ing should be so highly appreciated as good
singing in worship. l think that coal oil
could not be better used for few hours
each week, than in preparing for the public
service on the Sabbath. Assuredly we are
taking a retrograde movement, and they
forget that without singing in the NJ. E.
Church the service would be dead. Cannot
some of the church authorities see into it,
and not let the choir die a natural death
for want of some place to practice? Ches-
apeake can boast of some rare musical tai
ent, and whenever other societies die out,
singing appears to keep in vogue. Wake
up the old members, and endeavor to insist
on our choir meeting once week to prac=
tice.

:. The Fisheries.-A correspondent writing
from Havre de Grace to the Wilmington
Commercial says:
''The fisheries arc very prolific the pres
ent season. The shores Of the Bay are
lined with hundreds of wagons, many of
which come distance of 80 or 60 miles,
awaiting their turn to be loaded with the
finny treasures of the bay.
Most increditable hauls are sometimes
made, the largest Of which have heard
was made at Bulls Mountain a few days
ago when over $4,000 herring and 1000
shad were caught at single haul. The
net which held this enormous number
is nearly a mile long, and the ropes at each
end of the net nearly another mile in length
making the total length nearly three miles.
The agitation and tioundering of the fish
as they were dragged near the shore was
tremendous, and required about 40 hands
to drag them ashore. $1,000 is considered
large haul, while 5000 is nearer the
average. One containing the latter num-
Der was brought in while your correspon-
dent was standing on the shore, and readily
disposed of for 81 hundred for herring,
and SIS hundred for shad.
