MIR. EDITOR have been much interested
in the account given by your correspondent,

facts he has rescued from oblivion and to

was especially interested in the account
given of the origin of the name of Darlington
and it would probably be equally interesting
to many of your readers to know the way in
which other localities in your county rcceiv,
ed the names by which they are known to
fame. Not being posted in matters of local
history it las often been query with me, an
old Marylander, how the names Havre de
Grace Port Deposit, Bel Air, Towsontown
&c, had their origin. Was the region now
included in your county ever the seat of q
French settlement And if so at what time
and from what source? II is known that
the French traded with the Indians about the
head of the great bay previous to the first
settlements by the English but they could
scarcely have given these names, as they dc
not appear to have been known to the first
English colon;sts-at least do not appear in
| their records Perhaps some Of your readers
may be in possession of facts relating to the
early history of those localities equally wor
thy of being preserved, as those presented in
your number of July 90, in reference to Oar
| lngton. Are there any families in these 10.
calities whose names indicate French orr
gin? ESQ can any of their members give ar
account of their ancestry, and of the time
when they landed on our shores? Hoping
you will consider these questions of sufficient
interest to lay before your readers, with the

A False Charge.

On Thursday of last week Walter Gun
ningham stopped at my tavern, and after
taking drink bought bottle of whisky and
left A short distance up the road he hid the
bottle in Simon Cupningham's wheelwright
shop. In doing so he dropped his pocket
book containing $40. Discovering his loss
shortly afterwards, he concluded the pocket
book had been taken by me and accused me
of it. Knowing my innocence l denied the
charge, and Cunningham went to Bel Air
and procuring search warrant and the SER
vices of the Deputy Sheriff, came to search
my house. Before their arrival the pocket
book with its contents undisturbed, had been
found where he hid the bottle, by Simon
Cunningham, the whcelwright, who restored
it to its owner, thereby relieving me from an
unjust accusation. Moral Let whisky bot
ties alone, and you will not run the risk of
losing your pocket book, nor of accusing in
nocent persons of taking your property.

Keep Out of the RutS.

NEAR HAvRE DE GRACE, Aug. 60 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR Mankind are prone to fol-
low in ruts. Now, would like to suggest
to my brother farmers that they can mend
their ways by driving over the roads and by
keeping out of the ruts. The large majority
drive one horse, and by following the same
track soon make gutter and two ruts. In
this part of the county our roads have been
vastly improved by the judiciOus supervision
and well-tim labor of our Supervisor, Mr..
Gilbert Michael. He repairs the roads rs
they need it; no once n year labor and out
lay. In many places we can safely train for
speed the fast horses for which old Hartford
has become so justly famous. We only need,
to lessen the cost ofrepairs and make our roads
excellent, that every body help a little by
driving out of the ruts. Will any one heed
Nous 0efT0ns! j. III. G.
THE suggestion of our correspondent is
excellent and practicable, and We are convin.
ced that if every body will "help little" by
driving out of the ruts and picking up few
loose stones now and then from the roads, an
improvement in our highways would soon
become apparent.-Ed. Agis.

Mr.. Reasin was in favor of the new road pro-
posed to be opened from Stafford road to Hope

fits would justify, they have certainly not done

the 18th, 18th and 18th of September, as the
guest of the Maryland horticultural Society
There will be on exhibition collections of
fruits from every section of the continent, and
the occasion will be one of unusual import
ance. The Western States have heretofore
made these exhibitions the means of profita.
bly, advertising the suitability of their soil
and climate for fruit growing, while our own
and other States have been very inadequately
represented. This ought not TO be so. Al.
most every community in Maryland has
more or less fruit-groweIs who justly take n
pride in their superior products, and if each
of these will send a few samples, the whole
collection will be one worthy of notice, and
calculated to set off to advantage the capacity
of our State for growing fine fruits. Any

bition may be obtained by addressing VIM

Mrs. Sunderland fingered for four years, with
that dread disease consumption. During all

meek Christian resignation and the fortitudc of
martyr. ''She knew whom she had believed,
and that He was able 10 keep that which she had
committed to Him against that day" Her
pathway through life was that Of the just
"shinng more and more unto the perfect day."
and with full trust and confidence in her
Saviour she sank to rest "calmly as to nights

humbly believe and trust, she awoke amid the
brightness and glory of heaven. We sorrow
for her, but not as those without hope, trusting
through infinite mercy to meet her again in the

nourishment from the atmosphere and subsol.
Bone dust don't make land rich. II you shade
ground it will get rich of ITSELF That is one
advantage of clover. After you can get good
crop to grow never put on manure without you
can get grass to grow.
Mr.. Munnikhuyscn agreed with other members
in regard to blowing down sedge and putting on
fertilizers to start clover Would manure with
anything and everything he could get. He in-
stanced cases that had come under his own OBJ
seryation of land being made rich by merely
shadngit. No farm can be made first-rate with.
out barn yard or stable manure.
MIR. George Silver liked Mr. Archer's plan if il
would work, and would adopt it even If he did
lose on the cattle, but would expect the
manure to pay him. He could afford a loss on
led cattle. Mr. Silver extended an invitation to
the club to attend public meeting of Indian
Spring Grange, to be held near Dublin, on or
about the 18th Of September.
Mr.. Husband remarked Every farmer should
be an experimental chemist to certain extent.
Let his land be the substance to be analyzed,
fertilizers the test and his crops the result. Let
him judge of his land and the comparative value
OF fertilizers by these results. Every man
must judge for himself and of each field for it,.
self. No rule can be given for all farms-soils
differing so much in quality
MIR. Webster said if Mr. iIays's farm were his
he would adopt course almost identical with
that recommended by Messrs. Rogers, Walters
anu uiasSoW Noulu turn down the sedgc in
the fall, apply bone dust or phosphate in the
drill for wheat; and get the land in clover
Would object TO Mr.. Archer's temporary shed
which he regarded as greater risk and not so
economical as building Il stable properly at once.
In addition to the cattle, if we had a dog law, lie
would buy 800 sheep. One load of sheep manure
is equal to three loads of cattle manure. To
sum ii all up, said he, the club would advise you
to put on your farm all tie manure you can, il
don't make any difference where One point,
which all the members seem to have overlooked,
he would advise, and that is, where the land is
low, drain it.
