cheerful sounds, and the warm breezes
which enliven us SO much in spring; it

there was a flood in Bladensburg last Mon
day which caused the inhabitants of that
place to move their household goods to the

swollen by the recent rain. and Bladensburg
has not been flooded for some time.
The republican state central committee
Tor this county has reduced its number of

county this fall
