The Result i'm Maryland.

The Democracy of the State with rare
'unanimity nominated the Hon. William F.
Hamilton for Governor, and on Tuesday the
people of the State ratified his nomination by
majority of 81 900, being the largest ma
jerity given for any Governor since the
colored people were made voters, The re-
mainder of the Democratic State ticket was
also elected by correspondingly large major
tiles. The contest was a straightforward
one between Democracy and Republicarism
Good candidates were nominated by both
parties, and the result shows that large ma
jority of the people of Maryland are soundly
attached to Democratic principles. 1t only
needs the presentation of suitable candidates
by the party to ensure its continued success
for years to come. In some of the counties
but little activity was shown, but wherever
vigorous compaign was made by both sides
the Democratic majorities were increased.
The pledges Of reform, retrenchment and
economy contained in the Democratic State
platform and reiterated by our candidates in
this county will not be forgotten and with
this election we trust the State and county
has entered upon a now era, in which the
comfort and welfare of the public will be Sc
cured at the lowest possible cost in taxation.
While the Democrats can throw up their
hats with joy, the Republicans may also feel
pleasure in the fact that the State govern
ment and the affairs of our own county are
to be committed to such able and competent
hands.

Letter From New Hampshire.

EXETER, N. H., October 2Sth, 1879.
The reception of The AgiS gives mo SO much
pleasure, can not resist the temptation of thank
ing you for it, by letter. 1t railways contains some
thing interesting as well as instructive. In Exeter
we have one daily and two weekly papers, but they
don't interest me like your paper which is fun of
the affairs going on in dear old Hartford. Exeter
is a very pretty town, containing about thrty-five
hundred inhabitants, situated on the Boston and
Maine Railroad, about fifty miles from the former
place. The Squamscott or Exeter River, "a stream
about fifty feet broad and ten feet deepO flows
through the town. The Seminary for young ladies
and the Academy for young men, are the most i'm
portant features of the town. The Academy con-
tains at present about two hundred students, most
of whom are preparing for Harvard We have
had several games of foot ball with the surround
ing colleges and academies, and have gained
vistory each time. We have had no cold weather
here yet worth speaking of. The soil looks very
barren here, none of that richness about it, like
we have in Hartford. think If our farmers could
only see some of this land, they would go back to
their farms in Maryland, and think they were
specially blessed. j. M.

The barn OF Mr. James Thompson, near Mill
Green, was entered a short time ago BY some
predacious pilferer and about five bushels of
potatoes taken therefrom.
BEET CULTURE.
Those of our farmers who planted the white
sugar beet the past season have realized remark
ably goodyields and several analyses have proven
them to be of superior quality. The general
opinion, contrary to that at first believed, is that
they are better adapted to up land than moist
low lands. Mr.. Elias Scarborough, who has
made several experiments, reports that on the
same piece of land, with the same attention, the
yield of sugar beets exceeds that of the mangel
wurtzel 70 per cent, and the common table beet
was only 20 per cent. of the yield of sugar beets;
also that those planted upon high south-lying
slope We're better than upon meadow fallow.-
Many OF his beets weighed nine pounds each.

alone made a record of which Democrats ev.
crywlere can feel proud and her grand ma
jority stands out this morning like the shad-
ow of great rock in weary land For
weeks the Republicans have boosted of their
intention to cut down the usual Democratic
majority and make large gains in the Legisa-
ture. The returns this morning indicate that
Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor, has carried the Srate by II
majority of 81, 900. -Four years ago Gov Car
rolls majority was $4,000. Charges of fraud
were then made by the Republican enemies
with great freedom, but yesterdays election,
one of the fairest and most orderly ever held
in the State, is complete vindication, for it
shows conclusively that Maryland is over
whclmingly Democratic from the capes to the
mountains.-Baltimo,e Gazette, Wednesday.

ANALYSIS OF HARTFORD COUNTY BETS
Three lots of sugar beets grown in this county
were recently sent by Mr.. r. B. Mccoy to the
Delaware Sugar Beet Company, at Wilmington,
for analysis. Two of the lots showed per cent
age of0.27 sugar each, and the third 10 II per
cent. This per centage, it is stated, has not been
excelled anywhere in this country, and it is equal
to the best yield in Germany and France The
Delaware Company offer S4per ton of {, 240 lbs.
for sugar beets delivered on the cars of the Phil
delphia Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
The crop of bcets has been taken out of the
ground and in few days shipments to Whining
ton will be made. The result of the experiment
made by Hartford county farmers this year, it is
claimed, has proven that beets of the best quail
ty can be grown in Hartford county, and that
the yield with proper cultivation can be made
to equal the largest obtained in other sec
tions. Red clay soil, it has been found, will
produce the richest beets and the largest yield.
