ing about ten days with her husband. Tine case
was brought before Judge McCunn Of New

that time the woman has followed Merrill about.
and several times has threatened him. She TO-
lowed him to Lawrence on Monday, where he

KIND WoRDs.-The Port Tobacco Times
publishes the following letter written by gen.
tlemau from New York, on his return home,
after a visit to friend of, his living in Charles
county, Maryland. i,
"a LAND OF Milk AND HONEY Thinking
that few remarks, thro' the medium OF your
excellent paper, regarding my impression OF
lower Maryland might be Of interest, especially
to the enterprising farmers of our county, l
submit the following must honestly. state
that no one could, have pictured to my lmagl
nation the reality of the charms possessed, eS
pecially by the peninsula OF lower Maryland,
situated between the waters OF the chesapeake
bay and the glorious waters OF the Potomac
river Nature has been most lavish OF her
richest favors to this section, tor beauty OF sit
uation, mildness and salubrity of climate, fer
tility of soil, and convenience to fine markets
Washington city, (which will no doubt be to
the United States what Paris is to France and
Baltimore city, (which is destined to rival even
New York, with their steamboats, and sailing
vessels, and the Baltimore and Potomac rail-
road, The county of Charles will be the market
garden of these cities. The soil is especially
adapted to the growth of every variety OF fruits
and vegetables; tobacco, corn, wheat rye, oats and
grass. Farms beautifully situated and finely
improved from 100 to 1000 acres, can be pur-
chased from $40 to s25 per acre. The beauty
and advantages of this locality are only surpassed
by the hospitality and intelligence of the people
Fine fish can be had in abundance, including
oysters soft and hard crabs, shad, rock fish
and other varieties What could not man
with the energy and industry we have, accom-
pish in such a country? Grazing would be
most profitable. The land owners generally are
very poor farmers. Many Of them have met
with big losses in the liberation of the slaves,
and debts incurred before the rebellion have
forced them to sell their farms, which are being
bought by English people as we'll as by many
from the North. Now is the time for bargains in
land. The public school system is excellent;
churches of various denominations convenient,
and labor cheap. Steam saw and grist mills
are needed. Good carpenters, shoemakerS,
backsmiths, harness and carriage ma ers would
find good employment; and had the people
developed the natural resources of their land
and water all would now be wealthy. Were
| farmer, would emigrate to Charles county,
Maryland. A trip to chat section would satisfy
any person OF the truth of my remarks:

~ May 18th, 1872.
The unprecedented early commencement of a
general and severe drought has excited the APP
prehenson of short supply of water, and call
for preventive measures on the part of its Off
GERS to provide against all unnecessary waste by
consumers.
1t is the earnest request Of the President and
Directors to heads of families that no unneces
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
and children shall shut off hydrants as soon as
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use of wash
pans and tubs both fruitful sources ofwaste.
The rules and regulations of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
any and all unnecessary 1cnste, and it becomes
the imperative duty of the officers, especially
under the condition of scant supply, to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon all offenders.
A deficiency of this indispensable article to
housekeepers induces US to hope that we shall
be sustained in our efforts to prevent all 'caste,
while furnishing all parties with necessary
supply for domestic purposes.
