the eight-hour rule. The demand was
formally made in May, and the
result is still fresh in the
memory of every one who
has paid the slightest attention to labor
matters. Within a few weeks $4,000
men secured the eight-hour day, and
30. 600 more secured a reduction OF from
ten to nine hours, while the trades gen
orally felt the beneficial effect OF the
victory thus speedily gained. 1t is the
intention Of the Federation to place one
trade after another into the van OF the
conflict until all shall have obtained
the long sought eight hours. Eight

The Resources Of Maryland.

One of the most interesting and valuable
documents lately issued in this State is that
of ]. Thomas Scharf, LII. D., Commissioner
of the Land Office.
In the Land Office are preserved important
records, documents, maps and other valuable
papers collected by the Province and State
since 1880, including extracts from deeds. fur
nished by clerks OF court in each county, to
which reference could be made if the original
records were destroyed.
DR.. Scharf has established. in the Land
Office, State Museum, in which there is al
ready collection of over 500 stuffed and
mounted Maryland birds and animals, speci-
mems of our building stone, mari, sands,
clays, cereals, geological specimens, &C.,
which illustrate the valuable minerals and
ores of the State. There is also a collection
of Indian antiquities.
DR.. Scharf has likewise done good service to
The State by publishing interesting papers on
the soil, climate and other farming advant-
ages of Maryland. The pamphlet containing
this information has been largely circulated.
An appendix to the report contains series
of articles descriptive of the resources of the
different counties. Of Hartford the report
says (:
1.-THE soil varies from light loan to heavy clay,
and is easily improved and very productive.
The land is for the most part arabic and undu-
lating and highly improved. For farming pur-
poses the price varies from ten to q hundred
dollars per acre. The chief products are corn.
wheat, oats, hay, tomatoes and small fruits and
vegetables. Stock raising and grazing and the
making and sale of butter and milk are grow
ing industries. Since the opening of the Mary
land Central Railroad, the development of the
milk trade has been very rapid. Over this road
are nowshipped 500 gallons ofmilk daily. Most
of the farmers are industrious and thrifty. As q
result they have improved their stock of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine by crossing with the
best strains of each, and now use labor-saving
machinery of the most approved patterns.
''The estimated annual amount of the general
mercantile business transacted in the larger
towns gives to Abingdon, SIS, GOO; Aberdeen,

having been made to reclaim any oft
