LETTER FROM MARYLAND.


A FLYING VISIT TO KENT--FARMERs
PREAoHERs--PoLITI ETC.
Correspondence OF the Gazette.
GALENA, Nd, March "a.
Kent county farmers are doing up
their outside work. Old peach orch
ards and Improbable ones are being
taken up preparatory to planting the
ground with corn. The process Of
taking orchards up is not novel. In
fac in This case, mod n invention
seems to haze had us day and the pri-
NAL simplicity of "ye olden days" sub
stiluted. The stump puller IS no
longer used. The chain aud horse d. es
the work more easily and less expen-
sively. The tree is cut at that part
where the branches start out. Tne
chain is fastened around near the top
and two, or il the tree is stubborn.
four, horses, fastened to IT, the " ord
given aud the tree pulled up. IL not
engaged in this we find the farmer
trimming his trees of the new growth
and broken limbs. The idea general
ly pre- .ails that peaches not bordering
OH the water courses are killed.
Those along the Sassafras and Ches-
ter rivers seem to have ou lived the
hard weather. The cause generally
gwen is that the atmosphere along the
rivers is humid aud warm. The pros
pect this year is sim lar to the year III
which MIR. James Hart made such an
Unprecedented crop on his Marsh Point
Farms. His neighbOrs surrounding
had not peach while on his orchard
bordering upon the Sassafras, the trees
were, loaded with rich fruit.
EJust after the equnoctial had passed,
Charles I. Miller tue son Of one OF Kent's
farmers, while using one Of he patenl
seed sewers, frightened one ot tn
unIniated almost into convulsiots.
Charles--he i. known as truthful Charles
was sowing seed ai1ug. the Kent County
Railroad. The negio was on the tack
between which aud lbe sUwer arose All
embanknenl. The machine makes a
Yhirriug noise aud the curious country
man "peeked" our the embankment jus,
IN time TO receive four OF five vegetablg
pellets IN his face. He did not cUmp.e.
bend the exact nature OF the structure
held by the youthful yeomau, but think
Ing That II was some kind Of all Internal
machine, rolled down the embau kinent,
caked himself with clay, crs led dVei
the uGidge aud ran down the track as il
tine locomotive were behind him. The
noble Charles enjoyed the joke.
Considerable dissatisfaction prevails
here over the appoinl ment of the Rev.
Mr. Warner 10 this charge. AT first there
seemed no opposition aud one of the
stewards was heard TO say "we don't care
who they have sent us so Is not niger"
But since those calm and peaceful mo-
ments clouds have lowered about tie
house. II arose in this wise So dame rll-
NOR states; lour or live years ago The peo-
pie OF Mlllington demanded payment
by the church at Galena for her inteIeg.
IN the parsonage. Millington had at that
time been taken from the Galena circuit
and in no way possible could utilize her
ln'eres the parsonage. Sic had a
heavy church debt ,the.eiore the demand.
lhe cl urch at Ga 'Cna refused 10 accede.
Ire qut.ton was loud y and long dis
cussed. Hot words passed between some

hard things about the Galena people
All this was treasured in the bosom o
some aud now the phials of their wartl
are let loose.
