attaches of the office by bis unifor m kin !ness
and courtesy to all. He carries with him in
his retirement from the service the best wishes
for his future welfare of all who ever served
under him. The following extracts from the
city press bear testimony to the efficiency with
which the office has been conducted and in this
respect only corroborats the openly expressed
opinions of the leading patrons of the Office,
including several prominent Republicans

the Baltimore esstom-house building from
Acting Collector F. N. Cox to Collector F.

Persons who expect TO attend court from the

without. remuneration and intends next week
to submit the records to the inspection of the
judges, lawyers, commissioners and the grand

will be able to adopt measures for their restor-

records of ST. Mary's and Calvert counties,
though if properly arranged and kept on the
ground floor of the court house they could Be
easily removed in case of ere. These records
are now the Oldest in Ses,hsrn Maryland and
are important on that account alone, even il
they did not contain the whole history Of our
ancient county, which yet remains to be writ

of many families who are stall represented here,

finds, would be nearly complete from June.

Oldest book "a No. l) but as it is they only
date from the year 1862. The Land Records
are complete from that date to 1856, with the
exception of four volumes IT No. /. W No. 2,

of records and papers in the left aud the two

for the benefit Of posterity. Fully tHo-,hirds
Of the books are falling to pieces for want Of
proper binding and some of the pages are either
missing or torn so that they will have to be
rebosnd with great care, and most Of the 9TH

this can fortunately be in . great measure re-
medied by prompt action. In the earlier hooks
are recorded all the Acts OF Assembly from
l64O to 1892 and two lists of births, marriages
and deaths between the years 1854 and l7O6.
which latter are the oldest records of that ma.

would be worth Saying that We believe the
