THRRR have been several suggestions
made 10 square up the northwestern cor
ner Of this State by saving of the west
ern extremity, containing the four coun
Ties Of Hancock, BROOKE, Ohio and Mar
shall. We notice from one Of our ex
changes that a similar suggestion has beer
made to the northeastern corner, ant
that last week memorial was presented
in the Maryland Legislature for the acqui
sitinnhy purchase Of the coundesof Jefier
son, Berkeley and Morgan, in West Viz
sinia, because, while the people Of these
counties are almost severed from the re-
mainderot West Virginia, they are fully
identified with the interests OF Western
Maryland. Allthis, the petitioners say,
applies with equal force to the acquisi.
lion OF all that portion Of the State Of
West Virginia lying north OF line drawn
eastwatdly from the southwesternmOst
corner Of Maryland to the Potomac River,
constituting Mineral county aud portions
N Hampshire, Hardy and Grant coun'
Hes. These counties, under the origi'
nal charter. formed part Of the
prosince Of Maryland. The annexation
oi.these counties wauld rectity the boun.
dary line Of both OF these States and would
enlarge Western Maryland. Tho petition.
ers suggest that the Governor and some
committee Of the Legislature confer with
the authorities Of West Virginia in refer.

portion Of Jefferson county for the north

Clarke and Frederick counties in Virginia,

Fairfax stone to the Potomac river, in Lou.
don county, Virginia, shall constitute
throughout the entire length the southern
Boundary line Of the western portion Of
the Stateoi Maryland,
The principal objection to tho success Of
these propositions consists in the fact that
sour ffog, as shown on the map, would be
deprived Of most OF his motive power II
hisslegs were amputated in the manner
Isugges,ed.

The Oharlestown Spirit says; ave are
happy to announce that the unfortunate
controversy between James NJ. Mason
ESQ.,, and the Harper's Ferry Bridge Com
pany, has been arranged by Mr.. Mason
accepting the terms offered by the corpor'
alton. As we understand the agreement
the Bridge Company Is to pay ont OF It's
tolls about 81 26 per day until tho litiga
ton is ended, and Mr.. Mason ie to take
of his boat. II the Court OF Appeals de
cides that Mr.. Mason is not entitled to pay
for his ferry, then the 81 % per day is to
stop. The ferry now pays s. 81 a day
rent. Work was resumed, with q full
force Of hands, on Friday, and this much
needed improvement is expected to bt
ready for business in aboutsix weeks. It is
predicted that in short time the stock in
this bridge will be about the best invest
ment in the county.

: The county seat removal question ap
pears to be fairly started again over in Bel
mont county and the fight will likely be al
the more lively from the developments Of
the last controversy. The Martins Ferry
Ns,vs stands out for Bellaire and declines
10 help Bridgeport or towns further up
the river on the ground that such places
are too far north OF either the centre Of
territory or population, on the river; and
In support Of that position submits that it
can be demonstrated to certainty that
more than half the people of Belmont
county must either go from, or through
Bellaire to get to Bridgeport.
Itsemmslikeno to talk OF moving
the county seat to Bridgeport. II anyone
doubts the statement let him compare the
4 population OF Pultney township, the terri
tory tributary to the Central Ohio Rail-
road on the north, and that part Of the
county south Of the @. o. Railroad, with
{ the population OF the county. In fact,
counting Pultney township, Glencoe pre-.
cinct and the eight southeTnTownships OF
q the county, they, last year, gave 0,l24
votes, out Of q total vote in the county OF
10.7l4. But a large part OF Kirkwood,
Union and Richland townships would go
to Bridgeport by way OF Bellaire.
1nthe old capital controversies Of this
State there was point mentioned called
Bulltown, which was claimed to be the
exact geographical contre of the common
wealth. This argument, like that Of Sir
Joseph Porter, K. q, B., was considered
unanswerable at the time, but not being
insisted on early enough, the tide
which leads on to fortune was missed and
Bnlltown dragged out in shadows and in
miseries. II there is Bulltown in Bel
mont this would seem to be its golden OPP
portnnity.

Abont thirtv years nno there !

About thirty years ago there resid-
ed wealthy farmer in Penn
sylvania, about twenty miles
from lancaster. Amongst other pro-
duets Of his farm, he produced about
,Oo0 bushels annually of red clover
seed for sale. The average price for
It was eight dollars per bushel. In
the early part of tho sowing season
one year it was discovered that there
was Il great scarcity of clover seed in
market. Heavy orders were in for
eleven hundred bushels of red clover
seed to one house. and offers were
made for that amount in two weeks
at twelve dollars per bushel. A trusty
man was started out with full conl-
plement of horse teams and wagons,
into the country TO buy the requisite
amount.
About twentymiles Lack ffum Lan-
caster the buyer heard of this farmer
who raised so much clover seed, and
to him he went. II happened that Mr..
Tomlin, the farmer, had the full
amount required. He was offered
ten dollars per hushel for the lot.
But no, this would never do to take
that offer. Something was up; great
demand but little clover seed in the
country, and by holding out lac could
get eleven dollars per bushel at his
barn. 50 he would not sell his crop
Of seed at ten dollars per hushel- must
have eleven dollars. The buyer pass
ell on, and the next day he bought
the full amount he needed at nine
dollars per bushel. On his return he
called at the old farmers house for
entertainment for himself and teams,
When the old fellow saw him and
the teams he felt sure that they had
come to close up for his seed Mt his
price. But he soon found that the
wagons were all loaded.
His countenance fell, and he had
but little TO say. lie offered his seed
next morning at nine dollars per BUSH
el, but he was refused-the price had
fallen in Lancaster and Philadelphia
to eight dollars per bushcl. much hav-
ing come 10 market on account of the
rise in price
Three days afterwards the old
farmer was found in his barn sus-
pended to joist at..thc end of rope,
