CECIL COUNTY.
CECIL COUNTY was organized In 1674, and named in honor of Cecilina Lord Baltimore. It is the most northern of the Eastern Shore counties, and forms the north-east corner of the State, being bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, on the east by Delaware, (the celebrated Mason and Dixon's line separating the three States,) on the south by Sassafras River, and west by Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River.
This County is one of the most thriving and enterprising in the State. The character of the land is mixed, the part above the Bay being mostly rolling and quite hilly, like the Western Shore, and below Elkton, quite level and similar to the adjoining Eastern Shore counties. The soil comprises every variety ; a considerable portion centrally situated, called "The Barrens," be- ing pure sand and gravel, (though this section has of late much improved), whilst other parts have heavier clayey soil, mixed rocky, and the lower part an excellent light clay loam. The County is well populated, and the farm- ing and improvements generally are in advance of the average throughout the State.
Wheat, oats and corn are the staple farm productions; very large crops of hay are raised and sent to Baltimore and elsewhere in bales. In the southern part, known as Sassafras Neck, are many large peach farms. The crop is very large and profitable here.
Cecil County possesses inexhaustible quarries of excellent granite at Port

Deposit, on the Susquehanna River. Soapstone exists on the same river, and in the northern part near Pennsylvania are large beds of iron ore and chrome, comprising & good proportion of the most valuable chrome mines in the world. Near North East River are extensive deposita of clay suitable for making fire-bricks, and, laterally, discoveries are reported of kaolin or porce- lain clay of a fine quality. At North East fire-brick is manufactured exten- sively by two firms. They give employment to a large number of persona, and their gooda find a ready sale. Here are also the extensive rolling ,milla of the Mccullough Iron Co., and a razor-atrop factory, making this quite a manufacturing village.
The County is well watered and possesses some of the best water-powers, which are in most cases well improved with large furnaces, forgea, rolling mills, paper, grist, and saw mills. All the paper used by the Baltimore Sun and Philadelphia Ledger is manufactured at mills a few miles from Elkton. " Gilpin's Falla," on Great North East Creek, is a wild and romantic place, and is also a great water-power, which is at present not used. The creek falls about a hundred feet in a very short distance. Cecil has the largest number of shad and herring fisheries of any county in the State ex- tending from the mouth of the Susquehanna River around the bay and river shores into the Sassafras River. These shores also afford abundance of wild fowl in season. The County enjoys excellent facilities for transportation.

CHESAPEAKE CITY
Ia picturesquely and advantageoualy situated on the Elk River, 12 miles from its entrance into the Chesapeake Bay, and at the western terminua of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal. Here enters Back Creek into the Elk River, giving another water advantage to the town. Thia rare combination of water facilities give unequalled resources for all the purposes of trade and manufactures. No place is better located for fruit and vegetable canning and drying honses. Daily steamers (Ericsson Line) to Baltimore, Philadel- phia and New York, place these large cities in easy and cheap communica- lion. The surrounding country produces the peach, the pear and apple in the finest perfection. Grapes, berries and all market vegetables are produced with ease and remarkable success. The town is equi-distant 60 miles be- tween Baltimore and Philadelphia, and ia 6 miles from Elkton. There is one other shipping point, Bohemia Wharf, on the Bohemia River, 5 miles distant. Sailing vessels go from this point to Baltimore. The climate is mild and equable, and the health very good. The waters of the Canal are strongly impregnated with the sulphate of iron, brought down from the "Deep Cut." 'This agent prevents even incipient stagnation in the waters of the Canal, and thus exerts a controlling influence upon the general health. Business is large and increasing. The town is on a portion of the famed "Bohemia" Manor. The soil of the adjacent country is composed of red clay and sand loams, with occasional recurrences of white oak clay ; it com- manda $25 to $75 per acre, and produces crops of wheat varying in yield from 10 to 30 bus., the same of oats, corn 20 to 60, and hay from 1 to 2 tons. It is an incorporated town, and ia governed by a President and Town Com- missioners. Population 1,500. A. P. Barwick, Postmaster.
