AT the meeting of the State Roads
Commission in Baltimore last Saturday
Governor Crothers said: Nov that
the roads in the counties are settled in
is extremely gratifying to the Commits
sion at the manner in which these Sc
lections have generally been received
1t is also gratifying that the real work
is about to commence. I, as we'll as the
other members of the Commission, am
anxious that the residents of the State
should cooperate and help US in this
work, and they can do it if they will,
1t is really the peoples work and is not
matter of profit. Those who are for
tunate enough to have the State roads
come by or through their property can
help if they will by not interfering with
the proper drainage of the roads. They
can aid by being willing to straighten
their fences or change them without OBJ
lection. The willing removal Of pile
of stones and small things like this will
help great deal. 1t is in these and
other little ways that the people can
cooperate and they owe it to them
selves to do So"
The Alexandria Gazette says: Mr..
James Swift has left at at this Office
specimens of oyster shells he obtained
from a neighbor who was digging a
| well on latter's farm in Prince Georges
county, Md. opposite this city. At the
depth of 40 feet he struck an oyster
bed which is at least 80 feet above the
level of the river. The shells are crum-
pied and more delicately formed than
the oyster shells of tie present day.
They are brittle and are fromed IN lay
ers which are almost as thin as paper.
The shells are not long, but are in the
shape of the Tangier oysters of today
about as broad rs they are long-and
hollow as bowls, and must have con-
tanned fine biyslves in prehist oIic times
