some fine specimens of black and
variegated marble last week. They
we're taken from a tract of 1876 acres,

This possession will doubtless prove
very valuable, such competent critics
as Messrs. Hugh Sisson & Sons, OF
Baltimore, having pronounced The
black marble equal to any in America.

II. Local self-government: the least pos

the business Of the States: no unnecessary
legislation either In the State Legislatures
or In Congress: government to be reduced
