Messrs Editors Il think that farmers will
admit this to be most remarkable winter, and
that more spring work has been done on the
farm than for many years past, such as plow
ing and clearing land.
Considerable improvement in the way Of
building is going on, but almost nothing in COM
parison with what should be. We are kept
back by poor land in the first place, and bad
roads and high taxes, which keep some of us
stationary, and compel others to take the down
hill track.
There is a large amount of low priced land
on this side of the city, easily improved, and
producing fruits and vegetables of the best
kind, awaiting purchasers with some working
capital and enterprise, when this would become
probably as fine and healthy part Of the coun-
ty as any other portion of It.
With the exception of some Of the moist To-
ilities, the health of those who take care of
themselves is as good any other part of the
county. Only those who fish, duck, drink bad
whisky, and constantly expose themselves to
the weather, generally suffer from malarial
diseases.
QUERY Would not some of the 'Peniten-
tiary labor" about which there is so much
wrangling, be well applied in cleaning up the
swamps and river heads and repairing roads !?

would object, and that much good would result

meeting of farmers was held at Haoks-
tones store short time back, in regard to the
condition of the Phlade phia road, and Messrs
B. +. Taylor and w. Gambrill were appointed
to proceed to Annapolis and hand to our dele
CATION memorial to the Legislature in which
we ask for some redress-either by purchase of
the road or forfeiture of its charter. They had
full conference with our gentlemanly delega-
ton, who promised to do all they could for our
relief. The truth is, this road has become so
bad that In many PLACES tits almost impossible,
and something mast be done to remedy the evil.
We are taxed the past year cents Gu the
500 to commence q bridge on Edmondson Az
enue, which bridge will soon be ia the city, and
which many of us on this side will never see.

needed improvement than that and one on

s- Messrs. Flood, O'Brien, Mackay and Fair,
the great money kings of San Francisco, will
send to the Centennial one hundred and fifty tons
of gold and silver bullion from their Consolidated
Virginia Mine, and pile up the glittering bars in
some conspicuous place. so that all the werld can
soc what one mine produces in five months i
The value of the bars will be ten millions of dol
lars in United States gold coin A San Francisco
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says of
this iBig Bonanza" business:
"If the idea is carried out, it will be the grand
est sight among a million of grand sights, and
| venture to say more people will visit this noun
tain of wealth than any other siagle thing IN the
buildings. Five millions OF the bullion is now
boxed up for shipment, and the balance will be
ready in due season. Few people ever saw such
a vast sum as ten millions of dollars IN gold and
silver, all in several piles; and think the
proposition of Messrs. Flood Il Co., if carried
through, will add much to the charm, the wen
der, the eeldt, and the success of the Exposition.

"STILL HARPING oNMY DAUGHTER. The Bal
timore correspondent of the Frederick Union
lets his feelings run away with him on the ex
tension question, as the following extract from
a late letter will show:
at is hoped renewed efforts will be made ere
long to extend the limits of Baltimore as pro
posed year ago. Our city is rapidly spread
ing into Baltimore county, and there seems
neither money nor disposition upon the part of
those controlling county affairs, to supply
either the comforts or necessities to persons
living only few steps or squares outside our
city limits"
A great many Baltimoreans, the correspond
ent included, are still harping on this extern
sion question and are determined that our peo
pie must come to them whether they want to
or not We are satisfied to let the matter rest
with those who are most interested-the resi-
dents of the s'belt." The correspondent is un-
Just, though, when he says our authorities show
no disposition "to supply either the comforts
or necessities" &c. Those people have police
protection, furnished at Baltimore eounty's ex-
pense, and they are also furnished with gas
lamps and gas. The county should get credit
for these things at least.

Mr.. BLAINE 5 SPEECH Mr.. Biaine's speech up
on the financial condition OF the country is very
able argument against the present unsettled con-
dluon oil our currency; against unwise attempts
to resume specie payments, and in favor Of a set
tied, stable currency brought up to a gold basis.
That Mr.. Blaine fully realizes the Importance OF
the subject and the grave discussion it is exciting
throughout the country, is illustrated by his
opening sentences:
o For more lha0 Two years the couRtry has been
suffering from prostraton in business, confidence
returns but slowly; trade revives only partially;
and to-day with capital unproductive and labor
unemployed, we Gnd ourselves in the midst of an
agitation respecting the medium with which bust
ness transactions shall be carried on. Until this
question is definitely adjusted it is idle to expect
that full measure of prosperity to which the ener-
gies of our people and the resources of the land
entitle US.
1t is undoubtedly the ens great question before
the country to-day, and Mr.. Blaine does not hssi-
tate to give it the prominence in the politics OF
the country it so justly deserves.
The illusions to the unfortunate attempt OF
Mr.. Sherman at resumption, are not the less &C.
we're, that they are net direct. Naturally
enough, he says, Tin such a time the theories
for relief are numerous, and we have marvellous
recipes offered"
Mr.. Blaine then proceeds TO call attention to
the uncertainty in business affairs, caused by the
present legslation-an uncertainty, which is par
alyzing alike, capital and labor-which causes
the daily loss by idensss OF men and machines
OF millions of dollars.
Whether the dollar that they owe to-day or the
dollar that is due them to morrow will have the
greater or less number OF cents, depends on the
shifting OF causes which they neither control
nor ieresee, and therefore all certain calculation
in trade is sst at defiance and those branches OF
business which take on the form OF gambling are
by financial paradox the most secarc and most
promising
No man is better stted than Mr.. Blaine to Judge
OF the Capacity Of Congress for legisfating upon
the supply OF money necessary for the business of
Eae eouutry, ace he tells Us most emphaticAlly
that they unequsl to the task, thus adding
another argument in favor OF SEINE plan which
will regulate itsslf-costantly self-adjusng, as
Judge Kelley claims would be his convertible
bonds
Another point made By Mr.. Blaine is against
the expectation Of gold, brought absu: by our
present system of bonds. he is in faVsr of bring
ing greeubacks up to an equality with geld not
by wild legislation calculated only to bankrupt
the nation, bat by careful approaches, which will
relieve the debtor class, and revive the fast dying
industries Of the cesntry. The speech concludes
By defence Of legal tenders, and calling attea-
ton TO the importance Of repeal of the present
inefficient resumption act Warrington Chronicle.
