The December number of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist contains about one
hundred engravings, which is twenty
five per cent. more than that in any
other illustrated periodical in this or
any other country. These illustrations
are engraved expressly for the paper by
leading artists, covering wide variety
of rural subjects as we'll as well as farm
inventions and contrivances. These
engravings alone in any single issue of
the paper are worth far more to every
farmer and housekeeper than the sub
scription price for five years. Notwith-
standing the American Agriculturist is
fully worth four dollars year, the sub
scription price will continue at $50
during 1854.

From Alberton.-We regret very much to
lose our esteemed friend and physician, DR.. W. B.
Gambrill, from our midst. But at the same time,
we pass him over to our friends on the How
and county side, assuring them that our loss is
their gain. Our good wishes 60 with the doctor
We are glad to know that such an estimable and
excellent gentleman as Mr.. S. T. Weller, of the
firm of Jas. S. Gary & Son, Alberton, who has
purchased the doctors residence and is now max
ing quite extensive Improvements, will reside with
US.
Mr.. J. F. Leib, our very efficient and good
school teacher, is training the young minds in our
midst, and endeavering to the best of his ability
"and must say of which he is abundantly sup
piled" to make useful men and women of the ris-
ing generation.
Of the farmers, I would say they are of the
most enterprising and energetic kind. 5000 cab
bage being small plant of that luxury for some
of them to raise in season.
Mr.. R. S. Taggart has ceased to sell the drinks

The Maryland Centraps City Endorse
ment.-The Ways and Means joint committee
of the Baltimore City Council held a meeting on
Monday afternoon and heard the appeal of the
Maryland Central Railroad for Endorsement of
$4O0, 900 of its bonds to take up Sl50,000 second
mortgage bonds and with the balance to extend
the road to Old Town. VIM. ii. Waters, presi-
dent William Gilmor, vice president, and half
dozen others Of the railway people were present,
together with Mr.. Wilcox, Mr.. Nachman and other
members of the Merchants and Manufacturers Of
Old Town. The argument made to the committee
in behalf of the 100000 Endorsement was that
the Maryland Central traverses country which
is by relationships and other ties Unidentified with
Northeast Baltimore that the present terminus
on North avenue is teo remote, and that the ex-
tension of the line will benefit Old Town, which
will be for the benefit of the whole city. 1t was
stated that $500 900 second mortgage six per cent
bonds of the company have been taken by direc-
tors and their friends as collateral for $4,000,
which was raised to complete the ROAD from Bel
air to Delta. 1t is proposed to take up this $780,,
900 and release the hypothecated 100000 second
mortgage bonds out of the $i00 900 bonds Endorsed
by the city, which are to bear 81 per cent inter-
est The balance, it was claimed, will extend the
road and build the terminal in Old Town. The
company claimed to have $40, 900 first mortgage
six per cent. bonds undisposed of, which they
offer to put into a sinking fund for the redemp
ton of the endorsed bonds.

Good Roads.-An exchange says: "Would it
not be good thing if the farmers of the country
would make it a rule to devote at least one day
in the year, with their teams, to fixing up the
roads in a substantial manner in their respective
localities? Whilst large sums of the taxpayers
money are appropriated every year to our county
roads, we find that every year the same old mud
holes come in for their share of work and there
Is where the money goes"

To Prevent Scratching Matches on
Paint.-A correspondent in speaking of the de-
Placement of paint by the inadvertent Or needless
scratching of matches, says that he has observed
that when one mark has been made others follow
rapidly. To effectualy prevent this, rub the spot
with flannel saturated with any liquid vaseline.
CATER that people may to strike their matches
there as much as they like, they will neither get
light nor injure the paint" and most singular,
the petroleum causes the existing mark to soon
disappear, at least when it occurs on dark paint.

plain why it is that the price of flour has not
dropped in proportion to the decline in wheat 1t
is suspected by the public that the miller who has
a stock on hand does not take as much pains to
keep himself posted as to the market when the
tendency is downward, as when the current is
running in the opposite direction. Flour is sold
at much too high figure compared with the
present prevailing price paid for wheat.

and apply more plaster, the leg being fastened by
