The five counties of Prince George, Anne
Arundel. Charles, Calvert and St. Marys,
comprising the entire territory between the
Chesapeake bay and the Potomac river, Its
northern boundary approximately marked
bv the Washington branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, from what is known as
Southern Maryland. This area contains
| ,066. .946 acres, and is divided into 6,7o9
farms. The average size of the farms Is
I57 acres. 270 of them exceed 500 acres.
In Carroll the farms average only 50 acres.
This region is possessed of magnificent,
climate, unsurpassed natural attractions
| fertile soil free from stone, enjoying prox-
imity to two of the best markets in the
country-W Washington and Baltimore
with railroads reaching every county, with
nayicable water surrounding it on three
sides, and noble river filed with fish and
oysters, navigable for steamboats, to its very
centre, Southern Maryland ought to be the
garden spot of the State. That 1t is not
so, is mainly due to the large size of the
farms, and the great quantity Of unlm-
proved or timber land, which amounts to
/ IL acres in every hundred. Improved
farms, with comfortable buildings, eligibly
located, can be bought in that part of Ma
ryland for s5, 81, $40 and $50 per acre,
according to improvements This Is the
place for young Western Maryland farmers
to 90 to, in order to find homes, instead OF
going out West. The climate is more
healthy than that of the West, the winters
are much milder, less care of stock and less
winter feed is required, and convenience to
market is much greater.
A number of gentlemen in this vicinity
are talking of making an excursion into
that section of the State, to- inspect il
thoroughly and to become better acquainted
with region that is now to them terro
5uco1nifd.

be given at the Baptist church in the after
noon of that day.
A VoTE OF THANKS. When the celebra-
ton of the centennial of the settlement
Of this town was in contemplation year
or two since, Mr.. Luther E. Osgood of
Irvington, Cal, native of the town, sent
a sum of money to his brother, Mr.. A. N
Osgood, to help in defraying the expenses.
When the celebration was given up Mr..
Osgood suggested to his brother that he
might use the money, in his discretion, in
the interests of the Baptist church here.
The church had recently procured nice
pulpit suit; but had long felt the need Of
a communion table. Mr.. and Mrs. A. n.
Osgood thought that to procure one with
this money would be lasting and apprO-
pl lat memorial of the gift of their broth
er. They therefore, obtained very beau
tiful table, matching completely the pulpit
furniture. and presented to the church in
b half of their Californian brother. At q
