many years past have been the accommodating
aad we'll known proprietors of the Centsnnia
Hotel in this village, have given up that popular
hostelry and decided to remove to Baltimore
3M4fs.-{Hr.et viii open a boarding house
for the accommodation Of her friends in that city
and those from the country whom business or
pleasure may call to that place. Under the
able management of Mrs. HUNT their hotel in
this town has acquired q reputation that is as
wide spread as il is deserved, and no one who
has ever sat down TO one Of her well spread
tables ever left without feeling that Mrs. Hunt
had acquired the acme of the culinary art. Her
absence from Port Tobacco will be sadly missed
by these who patronized the hotel, for it is moi
thought that her place can be as ably and as
satisfactorily filled here. We wish them sue
ees ia their new venture, and have little doubt
but that Mrs. Hunt will be ahe to please and
satisfy all who may patronize her. The hotel
in this village will, for the present. be carried

Southern Mary land Railroad.
Citizens Of St. Aary's county. Nd. are
much exercised regarding the completion Of the
Southern Maryland Railroad, which aow runs
from Brandy wine TO Meehasicsville. Many Of
them say the road will be in running order to
Point Lookout in less than year, and that
large depot will be constructed on the farm Of
DR.. Broom, near S.. Mary's City. DR.. Broom,
it is SAID, has sold his farm to the railroad
company for large sum of money, ressrving
the homestead. He has been paid $4,000,
which the company forfeits in case il does not
come up to its contract by next November. An
engineer has recently been at Point Lookout
mapping of lots for cottages. and an immense
hotel, it is said, is to be built there. Work is
to be cemme need at once. Those ho believe
all the plans announced will be carried out are
greatly pleased at the prospective Advancement
of the material interests of St. Mary's by this
means Some, however, doub. that the work
will be pushed forward promptly, and say that
working camp was recently established At
Mechancsville ostensibly TO develop the read,
but in f:ct to get up an outside interest in the
matter. They do not have faith in the onward
movement.
