Why eyes are turning Eastward and something OF
the pleasures promised.

Indications point to quite an extensive emil
grafton from the West eastward commencing
with the approach. OF Spring The movement
appears 70 have its impetus In the desire on
the part of those with whom the rigors Of a
western winter deal harshlY and the coming
haven Of a perfect eontentment would seem to
be Maryland. The climate for its general
eveuness and just enough Of the salt Of the
sea 20 avoid extremes either in the direction
Of dryness or of humidity, offers very many
Inducements TO those 30 constituted as TO be
rendered anything bat happy by sudden
changes. In few States is the proportion of
bright sun-shiny days greater than ia Mary
land, and the winters as q rule. white ranging
as eool as eight to ten above zero. are even
and equable, very rarely indeed going to
one extreme or the other 1t is a mistake to
class Maryland as Of the Southern States with
the belief that being such the weather in SUM
mer must necessarily be hottest Of the hot.
The truth of the matter IS Maryland, as Z rule,
is c0OlOr on an average during the Summer
than the majority of Western States the
nights being particularly pleasant and refresh
ing. Then think Of the Markets OF the old
State Oysters, terrapin, canvass back ducks
and other such tOothsOme Injuries in the win
ter, and IN Summer so endless variety OF lus-
eiOus fruits as TO make ones mouth water TO
call them 20 mind. The agricultural fruit and
vegetable sections of Maryland are perfect gar
dens; the soil so rich, and avenues of cuItiva-
ton so numerous, that he who earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow, gets sustenance in
full proportion TO exertiOn. The famous East
eFn Shore of Maryland is a veritable paradise
for the horny-handed son Of toll as It was the
fashion to call him some years since There
are markets az his very doors for almost every
thing taken from good old Mother Earth. OF
late years the business of canning of fruits
and vegetables has grown TO enormous di-
mansions, and all through the different couE-
ties 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 ducking blind, and in the summer season
supplies his table with the finest fish in great
variety, at no other cost than the mere trouble
Of eathching them. All this may read 20 some
Shore or q trip through the garden counties Of
the Western Shore, would quickly demonstrate
it fact. and if anything, falling short of, rather
than exceeding reality.
So many letters have of late been received
from the West By the B. & 0. at headquarters
in Baltimore, relative TO opportunities for
locating in 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 con-
venience of all interested, to Mr. I. III. Dear
born, General Northwestern Agent, s. clark
street. Chicago Ill. Those wishing fun and
explicit details, with notes as to property which
can be secured laws Of the State and the
county system Of gOvernm mt. and in fact
about everything Of Importance, should eau
upon or write to Mr. Dearborn, mentioning
