are scattered through the county, and all which invite the toil worn and city- be-grimmed to the quiet repose and pure healthful comforts of God's own beautiful and gracious devisings, which He has properly scattered around them all. The county, when formed, had one bank, one of the first chartered in the State, and conducted with great akill and profit to its stockholders, and some advantage to the community perhaps. It still continues, having renewed its youth, and diapenaing its benefits to its stockholders anyhow, to say no more, under the broad ægis of the U. S. Three young and luaty sisters have been added to the family, so that now we are blessed with four, almost enough. The Western Maryland College, under the general patronage of the Metho- dist Protestant Church, is located at Westminster, and is a vigorous inatitution of most respectable standing, with an able, careful and laboring faculty. Calvert College, at New Windsor, is resuming the usefulness and regaining the position which it occupied for many years, and up to the war, under the energetic control of its founder, Mr. Andrew H. Baker. It was his own private enterprise, and a most honorable one; but its weight, under the reverses occasioned by the war, crushed him. Its magnificent location at New Windsor, and fine buildings, finely arranged and again occupied. remain and invite more extensive use than is now made of them. A private academy of high grade is conducted by A. Mckinney, near Taneytown, ex- cluded from all contact with the distractions of the outside world. There are other respectable private schools. The public school system is in healthful condition throughout the county, at an annual expenditure of about fifty thousand dollars. At Union Bridge are the workshops of the W. M. R. R., and several minor manufacturing establishments ; so also at Manchester are some manufactories, and at New Windsor. At Westminster is located a very extensive and important establishment, the "Taylor Manufacturing Company," which does a large business in the manufacturing of vertical. horizontal and stationary engines, which are in demand in all parts of the country, from Maine to Texas. The engines manufactured by this company have some peculiar excellencies not yet attained by other establishments; this at least is the inference from the very extended demand for its products from almost all other localities. The agriculture of the county is in an ad- vanced state, with room, however, for improvement by added labor. The capacities for manufacturers, especially the water powers, atrongly invite more enterprise. The men of the county are perhaps equal to the average of their neighbors of the State, but are not pretentious, and in fact possess no title to superiority over the mass of mankind; and if there be any, the number is very limited, wbo conceive themselves to be above the common average of their neighbors. Moderation is a characteristic of Carroll County.

R. is put in operation, which is now in process of construction, and will reach the town by a short branch. Climate and health good. Land is three-fourths cleared ; the soil is of a red, gravelly formation, easily tilled and capable of high fertility. The land varies in price from $20 to $60 per acre, and produces 10 to 25 bus. wheat, 15 to 35 oats, 15 to 50 corn, and 1 to 2 tons hay. The timber yet standing is composed of oaks and chestnut.
