Indications point to quite an extensive
emigration from the West eastward COM

Ihe movement appears to have its i'm
petns IN the desire on the part of those
with wnom the rlgors of q western winter
deal hafshly, and the coming haven of a
perfect contentment would seem to be-
Maryland. The climate for its general
evenness and just enough of the salt of

even and equable, very rarely indeed
going to one extreme or the other. II ia
a mistake to class Maryland as of the
Southern States. with the belief that
being such the weather in Summer mpst
necessarily be hottest of the hot. Tha
truth OF the matter is MARYLAND. ms q

and IN summer so endless variety of
luscious fruits, as to make ones mouth
water to call them to mind The ,ori-
cultural, fruit and vegetable sections of
Maryland are perfect gardens; the soil
SO rich, and avenues of cultivation so
numerous, that he who earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow, gets sustenance
IN full proportion to exertion. The
famous Eastern Shore of Maryland is a
veritable paradise for the horny handed
son OF toll, as it was the fashion to call
hlm some years since. Therea are markets
at his very doors for almost everything
taken from good old Mother Earth. OF
late years the business of canning fruits
and vegetables, has grown to enormous
dimensions, and all through the different
counties canning establishments have
been erected, and contracts are made for
products ofttimes before even the seed
has been planted. About every farmer
has his own oyster bed, as well as his
"ducklng blind" and in the summer
season supplies his table with the finest
OF fish IN great variety, at no other cost
than the mere trouble of catching them.
All this may read to some people as q
romance, but visit to the Eastern Shore
or trip through the garden counties of
the Western Shore, would quickly de-
nonstrate the fact, and if anything fall
ing short of rather than exceeding reality.
So many letters have of late been
received from the West by the B. & o.
at headquarters in Baltimore, relative to
opportunities for locating III Maryland,
and the desire being to afford the fullest
information, much material to aid in this
latter respect has been gathered together
and forwarded for the better convenience
of all interested, to Mr.. L. FL. Dearborn,
General Northwestern Agent, SO Clark
street, Chicago, Ill. Those wishing full
and explicit details with notes as to
property which can be secured, laws of
the State and the county system of
government, and in fact about every
thing of Importance, should call upon or
write to Mr.. Dearborn.
