Obituary..

RUTTER.-At his residence, in Elk Neck,
Oct. 27th, 1870, JOHN L. RUTTER, in the
9th year of his age.
In the sudden demise of the above
esteemed and exemplary young man, we
have a forcible illustration of the scripture,
"In the MIDST of life we are in death. ="
In the prime of life, with good health and
temperate habits, he babe fair to live long
in the world, a blessing to it and his family;
but a prostrating fever seized him, and in
early manhood Death claimed him for his
victim. His upright way, kindly smile
and obliging disposition, won for him hosts
OF friends, who mourn this sad dispense
ton of Providence. AS husband, he was
loving, devoted and faithful; dutiful son,
and atfectionate brother. A short time
before his death, through the influence of
his wife, he was led to seek Christ, and
thenceforward humbled himself daily at
the foot of the cross. Desiring more light,
he requested the Bible to be handed him,
but being unable to read, his wife read to
him the 23d Psalm; and when the lips of
the departed had repeated, "The Lord is
my Shepherd, shall not want" his soul
took its flight to the spirit-land.

in Elkton, was 90 cents 4 pound, before
Thanksgiving. In Philadelphia they sold
for 10 cents pound the day after. If a
moderate price was asked for poultry here,
a great deal more would be consumed, and
both buyer and seller be benefited thereby.

teachers salaries, the reformation would
speedily raise the standard of our Public

Elk Neck.-We visited some parts of
Elk Neck last week, OH cunning expedi-
ton, and though fine harbors in the shape
of underbrush and rayines filled with chap
paral, apparently paradise for game,
abound in many parts of that section, the
latter we found to be not so abundant as
sportsmen could desire.
The thrifty and improving appearance of
that part of the 5th district lying between
the Elk and North East rivers and border
ing on Chesapeake Bay, was infinit ely
more interesting to us than would have
been an abundance of game in the formers
absence. There is a great deal of hard labor
to be performed in the way of clearing up
and grubbing, before it presents the beau
tiful agricultural district, which its natural
facilities plainly indicate it is capable of
being made. With much of the land of an
excellent quality for pasturage and grain,
the many advantagesa fforded by water
communication with Baltimore and Phila-
deiphia by which produce may be shipped
cheaplyto market, and manure placed upon
the land, Elk Neck should improve more
rapidly than it does. We were told that it
is better adapted to the maturing of the
peach than even Sassafras Neck; the peaches
on the Elk Neck lands having a richer tint
than the fruit produced on the former.
Considerable interest is being given to
improved breeds of stock by some Of the
farmers which is the right direction for the
agriculturist to move in. No product of
the farm in our State is so steadily reuumer-
alive as improved stock when the proper
care is bestowed upon it,
But the greatest drawback to the country
is its horrid roads, the major part of them
being built right over the highest hill tops.
when by DETECTING few rods, level road
way might in almost every instance be had,
Those engineers who laid out the roads had
not discovered that it was as far over hill
as around it, and much more difficult to
travel.
