LOCAL AFFAIRS.


LOCAL a FFA
LAND BuYERs. The, Baltimore Herald, an
interesting monthly Journal Of that city, says;
" We have just me, gentleman from In
diana, Mr.. A. 9. Cory who has bought
within the past few days two hundred acres
OF land in Talbot county, on ,he Eastern
Shore. He informs us that there are at this
time buyers there from Wisconsin and other
Northern and Western States Soon the
Eastern shore Sill he the garden Of the State.
Farms will be cut up into garden patches, and
the earth forced 10 grow maximum crops"
During the past few weeks number of gen.
Etlemen from Ohio have been travelling through
our county and examining farms for sale.
We hope they may able TO purchase lands in
orr midst as each one who settles here will
add 10 the wealth and industry of our county,
and, we have no doubt, will meet with a
hearty welcome from our people. Our close
proximity to the best markets Of the country,
and the low price Of land will certainly induce
"a large immigration 10 our county in few
years.
SUMNER GUESTS As the heat and dust Of
the cities become dsagreeable our Hotels and
boarding houses are rapidly filing up with
those who wish to enjoy pure air, shade, and
avoid the usual care of fashionable society in
city life Many come here who wish 10 en-
| joy the pleasures of country life without the
| glare and pompousness of the springs and find
in the quiet enjoyment of country home a
panacea that cures all their ills. Let the little
and big ones have chance at our pure air
and ''frIed chicken" and we guarantee they
will go home wishing they may spend another
summer in the pleasant town Of Rockville, the
place of good living and pretty girls.
The CRops.--From personal observation
and from all we can learn from oar agricul-
tnral friends throughout the county we be-
lieve that The prospect for very good wheat
crop daily looks brighter The cool weather
and refreshing rains that we have had for the
last two weeks seem to have been highly bene-
fetal TO this crop, and although the straw will
generally be short the heads and grain appear
TO be unusually plump ana well filled. Corn
and OATS, although not as far advanced as
usual, look promising, and the grass crop
promises an average.
Nor GRANTED. The motion for new trial
inthe case of Mrs Kcnapp VS.. the Cumberland
and PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company was ar
gued before the Circuit Court for this county
during last week, and the Court, after hear
ing The arguments Of the able counsel on both
sides, decided not to grant the same. 1t will
be remembered that Mrs. X. obtained ver-
diet against the company at the March term
for the death of her husband, an engineer on
the road and this decision we suppose settles
the case definitely.
YEARLY MEETlNG-The regular Yearly
Meeting of the Society Of Friends of this
county took place at Sandy Spring on Sunday
last. Tie day being cool and pleasant there
WAS large concourse Of persons present, both
from this and the adjoining counties. The
exercises were conducted with the usual quiet
and decorum of such meetings and after their
close the audience separated and returned to
! their respective homes much pleased with
having spent very agreeable Sabbath.

ming of which is as follows:

| IMPORTANT, II TRuE-The St. Mchaels
! talbot county, Comet says that gentleman
OF st, Michaeps, and grower of potatoes,
states that he has discovered by experience
that oak ashes are either certain death TO the
bugs or au infallble prevention of their des-
truction of potato vines. The ashes should
be unleached and sprinkled on the vines in
the early morning. The remedy Is simple,
cheap, safe and certain, and worthy Of triad
by those suffering from the ravages of this
most inveterate enemy 10 the potato.
