Gov. HAMILTON IN HARFoRD-Govemor
Hamilton paid visit to Hartford county, last
week. The Governor is practical and success
full farmer, and wished to verify with his own
eyes the stories told him of the large crops of
| corn, Nc, grown in Hartford. Accordingly, last
Friday morning, he accompanied Hon. Herman
Stump from Baltimore to "Waverly," the beau
tiful residence of Col. Stump, near Bel Air.
The party consisted ofGovernor Hamilton, Col
Stump, David Fowler, Esq, of Baltimore coun-
ty, and Mr.. Clark, a wellknown Howard coun~
ty farmer. On their way from Edgewood the
travellers stopped at st. Mary's Church. near
Emmorton, where they spent a short time in ex-
amining and admiring the beautiful painted
windows, which were exec uted in England ex-
pressly for the church. They arrived at Waiver
ly about ten O'Clock, and after breakfast Hon.
Henry W. Archer joined the party, and all to.
gether set out to take look at some of the
Deer Creek farms, of which SO much had been
told the Governor. In passing the farm of Mr.
John Hood, near Thomass Run, they stopped
and examined with interest patch of corn I'M
der cultivation by little son of Mr.. Hood who
is competing for the prize of $100n gold offered
by Mr.. j. w. Bond, of Baltimore, for the best
yield of corn on one-eighth of an acre.
Their next stopping place was the farm of
Messrs. Parker fl. and James Lee. This farm
is one of the most productive in the county, and
in addition to promising fields of corn and grass,
the Governor was shown splendid herd of pure
Short Horn cattle, which are not surpassed in
the State. The drive was extended to Windmill
Hill, from which magnificent panorama of hill
and dale presented itself, dotted with substan-
tial and comfortable homesteads, widespread
ing fields of tall, green corn and luxuriant pas
turc fields. On their way they halted long
enough to examine fine field of corn belongings
to Mr. George r. Glasgow.
The objective point of the Governors trip,
however, was the farm of Mr.. VIM Woolsey,
near Churclyille. Mr.. Woolsey's is one of the
model farms of the State. Heha demonstrate
cd that farming can be made profitable He fat
tens annually about one hundred head of cattle
and raises large crops of corn wheat and grass.
No corn or hay are sold, every thing being fed to
cattle on the place Thus the crops are carried

Shure's Landing.

A new postoflice, called Shure's Landing, has
been established at this point, formerly called
Shuresyile with ID. +. Shure, Jr., postmaster. II
is supplied by the Havre de Grace and Wrlghts-
vile line.
Last Sunday Rev Mr.. Easter, of Port Deposit
preached Mt Grace Memorial Church, Darlington
Rev. Mr.. Colburn assisted in the services.
one day last week one of Capt. Henry Douen's
mules was drowned by falling over the tow path
into the river above ConowinRo Bridge Mr.
Douen had considerable difficulty in saving two
other mules which were in the team.
The tobacco crop of this vicinity promises an
excellent yield. The best crops are said to be
those of james Shure, Hopkins and Monsees, and
Whiteford and Wynde. Each of them has several
acres in cultivation and have commenced cutting
and storing 1t away.
The river is thirty-four inches above low water
mark. 1t has not been down to low water mark
this year, the lowest water having been I'm the
third week of July, when 1t was eight inches above
low water mark.

pany is building, at this place, II new pivot bridge,

The TOBACCO CRoP.-A number of farmers
in the neighborhood of Clermont Mills and
the Rocks of Deer Creek are raising tobacco this
year, and the prospect for large yield is
remarkably good. Mr.. Barnet II. Clark has 9
acres, said 20 be as fine as any in the county
One acre of it was cut and stored in his barn
more than week ago. DIR. T. b. Hayward has
4 acres; Henry Macatce acres; j. P. Street,
acres, and Frank Macatee 12acrcs Mr.. Macatee
found in his patch leaf which measured three
feet in length and was twenty-threc inches long.
The experience of farmers in Lancaster and York
counties, Pa, has shown that by proper system
of farming, tobacco can proiitably be raised with
out cxhausting the fertility of the soil The
lands of Hartford are well adapted to raising it,
and in few years it will doubtless become
one of our standard crops.

to market on the boot Upon arriving there
the Governor and party were met by the Rev.
George Morrison and Mr.. Benjamin Cole. After
dinner Mr.. Woolsey's large barns his wide
spreading corn fields and his fat cattle were
critically inspected by the Governor, who being
farmer himself, duly appreciated the excel
lance of all that he saw. The Governor and the
other strangers present expressed their surprise
at the advanced state of farming in Hartford
The Governor declared that he had never seen
such crops of corn growing, and when he went
back to his own county and told his brother
farmers that he had seen twenty barrels of corn
growing upon an acre, and that Hartford county
farmers thought nothing of spreading half ton
of bone dust 10 the acre, they would not believe
him.
On Friday night after returning TO Mr. Stump's
number of gentlemen from the ncighborhood
called to pay their respects to the Governor
Early Saturday morning a visit was made to the
farm of Mr. A. NJ. Fulford, whose splendid
purc-brcd Berkshire hogs elected the admiration
of the visitors. Gov. Hamilton and Messrs
Fowler and Clark left for Baltimore Saturday
morning.

What BETTER Evidence

could the people ask to substantiate the merits OF
DR.. Pierces Family Medicines than the fact that
they have not only yearly grown in popular favor
in this country, but the foreign demand for them
has become great as TO necessitate the establish
ing q branch of the celebrated Worlds Dispensary
In London, England that these blessings to the
afflicted may be dispatched from that greatest
commercial centre of the world to every country
and people? Golden Medical Discovery is a con-
centrated, potent Alternative, or blood cleansing
remedy, that wins golden opinions of all who use
1t for all humors from the common pimple, blotch,
or eruption, to the formidable scrofulous swell
ing. Internal fever soreness and liberation yield
to its benign influence. Consumption, which is
but form of scrofulous affection of the lungs,
may in its early stages be cured by a free use of
this God-given remedy. See article on consump-

DROWNED WHILE CRABBING.-On Thursday,
the 9Th instant, Welton Curtiss, colorcd man,
while engaged in grabbing, near the mouth OF
Rumncy Creek, fell overheard from his skiti and
was drowned before assistance could reach him
His son, who was on the shore cooking the crabs
as his father caught them, saw the accident, and
gave the alarm to Mr.. Nathan Barron, who lives
near the place Mr.. Barron hurried to the spot
where Curtiss had gone down, and by means OF
rake recovered the body, which was taken to
the residence of the deceased, near Michaelsyile
Curtiss was accustomed to being upon the water
and it is therefore supposed that an attack OF
heart disease, TO which he was subject, caused
him to fall oycrbroad

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has no fears OF the

said that he has reliable information that with
or without compromise between the Demo-

overwhelmingly chosen He thinks this

to oppose each other on the entire ticket,
which will be by no means the case, the bulk

TIE HARVEST HoME.-A large number fpcr-
sons, estimated at from two thousand to three
thousand attended the Harvest Home at the
Rocks of Deer Creek, on the 9Th instant. While
the threatening appearance of the weather proba-
bly, prevented many from coming, the absence of
the sun made it more pleasant for those who were
there. In the afternoon an organization was
made by calling John Moorcs to the chair
Humphrey Wilson, William Ady, Arch. Wilson
and Charles H. Street, were appointed Vice
Presidents, and r. S. McNutt, j. W. Galbrcath,
George A. Cairnes and N. w. s. Hays Sccre-
taries.
William Young, Esq, of Bel Air, was then in
troduced by the President. Mr.. Young traced
the history of anniversaries from the earliest
period to our own times, and spoke of the fit
| ness of the observance of a harvest homc by a
| rural and pastoral people.
Hon. j. +. G. Talbot was the next speaker
| He said he was not Il farmer. lie had tried it,
| but it did not suit him and he went into anoth-
| er business. He discussed the relation of far
mers to society and the body polite, and alluded
| to what had been done for the farming interests
during the last fifty years, by geology and chem
| iSllS Ilc ulSO Spohc vi vi
to legislation, and the relation of legislation to
| them.
| Mr. Geo. w. Richardson, of Bel Air, next
made short speech on the OCCASION that called
| this gathering of farmers. Your granaries ami
barns filled with stores, and after your season
of toll it is fitting that you should have some
| recreation, and in what better manner could you
| accomplish it than by assembling here in social
| converse and friendly greetings under the grand
| and stately Rocks of Deer Creek. He adverted
| to the advantages the completion of the Balti
| more and Delta Railroad would bring to the
| neighhorhood. He spoke of the necessity of the
farmer of this advanced age being educated to
| keep abreast of the times, and said he will find
| the newspaper book well worth perusing and
he counsellod the support by the farmers of their
county papers.
Excellent music was given by the Glen Rock
cornet band, Mr.. Joseph Disc, leader. Shortly
after the conclusion of Mr.. Richardson's re-
marks, Catos string band struck up lively
tune and dancing commenced. 1t was kept up
| until late hour As is usual with gatherings
| OF this kind in Hartford county, no disturbance
of any kind occurred, and the day was pleasantly
spent.

PoIITICAL.-A lively contest for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in the second
district, composed of Cecil, Hartford, Carroll
and a portion of Baltimore county, is immi-
ncnt. Cecil county has elected delegates to the
congressional convention favorable to Hon.
Albert Constable, while the Baltimore county
delegates, already elected, are declared to be
in favor of Hon. j f. c. Talbot, the present
representative. Carroll and Hartford are vet
to elect delegates. The Democrats of Carroll,
it is believed, will send delegation favorable
10 Hon. Charles B. Roberts, whose previous
course in Congress was such as to reflect
credit not only upon himself and his county,
but also upon the entire State.
In Hartford the friends of Hon Herman
Stump have prevailed upon him also to be a
candidate for the nomination Col Stump
served his constituents with dignity and
ability in the State Senate, of which he was
made President at thelast session, and they arc
DESTROYS of seeing him advanced to a position
of greater usefulness to the State at large
There will probably be no opposition to him
in his own county .s...
