THE RISE AND PRESENT ATrAINNIENTs OF THE NEW
TowN-THE MAdETrUDR OF THE OYSTER TRkDE.
From the CrsGed Leader.l
Barely six years ago the low flat ground, the
present site of the town of Crisield, attracted
the attention of few shrewed intelligent men
who saw and oompreh ended the Importance OF
this point receiving depot for the immense
oyster trade of the Chesapeake Bay and estuaries.
The Eastern Shore Railroad terminating here
placed it in intimate relationship with the great
distributing cities of New York Philadelphia and
Baltimore, while the Eastern Shore Steamboat
Oompany's line give it daily communication with
the latter city by water. Similar facilities exist
between Crisfeld, Norfolk and the South.
The main trade of Crisheld at the present time
are oysters, and upon these fisheries all other
branches Of traffic in great measure depends.
Large capital is already embarked in the busi-
ness and the harhor at all times is alive with the
white winged crafts engaged in the trade. Eight
cen firms are already employed in packing, and
over a million of bushels of oysters are annually
handled by them, whilst nearly eight hundred
vessels engaged in dredging are entered at this
port The ramfcations of this trade are large
and gives employment to great number Of
persons. To each vessel are an average of -four
| men, and over fifteen hundred men, women aud
children are employed shucklng IN the several
packing houses. They, in their turn must be
fed and clad and thus large business in mer-
chendising is done at this port,
Over half million Of goods are annually dis
| posed of, and to accommodate the increasing
demands of trade, at the present time there are
a hundred buildings in the course of erection or
| enlargement Messrs. Samuel w. VIM. l..
Kennerly have almost completed at great labor
| and cost an extensive wharf four hundred and
fifteen feet long and ninety in width, along the
tntire length Of which they propose to lay a
abroad. This wharf is intended for coal, l1n-
/ or and wood, aud vessels carrying hundred
] tons can discharge their caIgoes there,

and political and other opinions are tolerated.
Take CoIinth and Canton for instance. But
there is no 'aboundiDg poverty anywhere in Mie-

On Monday last, Thomas Rice, a young
man in the employ Of Edward Stebbns, a
little out of the village, was very danger
ously, if not fatally wounded by the acct
dental discharge OF pistol in the hands of
brother, who was examining it. The ball
passed into his abdomen, and, as judged by
the physicians who examined the case,
through the bowels and lodged near the
spine.
dwight w. Stearns, at the south part of
the town, on the Goth inst, met with severe,
but II is hoped not dangerous, personal in
jury. AS he was sta nding between his OK
en- and neap Of a sled to which they were
yoked, they became frightened and sud
denly ran furously, throwing Mr.. Stearns,
who In the fall caught hold of the neap, to
which he held as long as possible, when he
dropped face downward, in which position
he was dragged at full speed over ice and
frozen earth, six or eight rods before he
was liberated by the sled passing over him.
His escape from death or very serious in
jury was indeed marvellous.
