DORCHESTER COUNTY.
DORCHESTER COUNTY is one of the Eastern Shore counties, and ex- tends from the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware State line, and is bounded on the south-east by the Nanticoke River, which separates it from Wicomico County, and on the north by the Choptank River, which is between it and Talbot County, and by Caroline County.
The county contains an area of 770 square miles. The surface is generally level and easily tilled. The upper part is sufficiently undulating to create some water-powers, which are in some cases improved by grist and saw milla The soil is variable and of the same character with most of this shore of the Bay. It ranges from a stiff clay to a light sand, and in many places a black loam. No better lands are known than those along the banks of the Chop- tank River. Shell manure, which is to be found in some localities, affords a good fertilizer. Oak, hickory, pine and walnut are the natural timbers, and are abundant, and largely exported for ship building, cord wood, lumber and other purposes.
A good part of the county is uncultivated, but where well tilled the land is generally quite productive. The favorable climate, water, and general location of the county is attracting the attention of emigrants and others, and quite an addition to the population has been made in the past five years. Wheat and corn are the staple farm productions, with large quantities of fruits, berries, and vegetables. The production of peaches is largely increas- ing, and becoming very profitable. Shad and herring fisheries are numerous and generally do a fair business, the trade of some localities being almost en- tirely of this kind, whilst most all sections have plentiful supplies of fresh fish. Oysters are very abundant and of the finest kind, the county taking in some of the upper part of the great oyster beds of Tangier Sound, the most famous oyster field of the State.

Several firms are largely engaged at Cambridge in packing and shipping these oysters, adding much to the trade of that already growing and proaper- ous town.
The county is almost aurrounded by navigable waters, and is intersected by the Transquaking, Chicacomico, Honga and Black Water Rivers, aleo Church, Fishing, Slaughter'a and other creeka, which give the county facili- ties for transportation not excelled by any other locality in the State. The construction of the Dorchester & Delaware Railroad, extending from Cam- bridge to Seaford in Delaware, places a large part of the county within quick and convenient communication at all seasons with Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The section through which this road runs las and contin- nes to improve. Settlers have been attracted and many farms sold. Dorches- ter County presents many attractions to emigrants, and large numbers have already settled in several localities. Good water, fertile lands, churches, schools, healthy climate, plenty of fish, oysters and wild fowl, are some of the inducements here offered.
