furnishes one of the chief attractiona to atrangers, who indulge in boating, bathing, fishing and the aports usually sought by pleasure-seekers, while the natives and others find it a source of revenue from the oysters that abound in its bottoms, and the ducks and geese which haunt ita creeks and coves.
The town is of great antiquity, as evidenced by the style of architecture in which some of the houses are built, the material in a few instances having been brought from the mother country. They are open, southern, commo- dioua, and surrounded by ample and neatly kept grounda, with lawna and gardens. The grounds of some alope down to the water of Cambridge Creek, where the banks are terraced and protected by low parapet walls.
At the present day no town on the Peninsula is making more rapid growth. Its population has increased fifty per cent. within the last eight years. It is lighted with gas, and mainly supplied with water from pumps, wella and cisterna. Its mechanics all find employment, and numbers from Baltimore and elsewhere have had constant work at remunerative wages. Upwards of three hundred houses have been erected during the past five years. Enter- prizes of different kinda have sprung up, stimulated no doubt by the excel- lent facilities of transportation to Philadelphia, distant only 140 miles by rail- road, over which daily trains are passing; and to Baltimore, distant about 70. miles, to and from which are daily lines of handsome and commodious steamers.
The oyster trade is considerable, both by canning and shipments in their natural state. Four packing-houses are in active operation, while others at this writing but projected will soon increase the number. The largest and most complete flour mill on the Eastern Shore has just been completed. A marine railway gives employment to many, and does the repairing of boats built and heretofore repaired in the city. Numerous saw-mills are busily engaged in converting the choice timber of the surrounding neighbor- hood into good and merchantable lumber.
The people are refined, educated and hospitable. The climate is healthy, and seldom severe ; the people look ruddy, and consumption is seldom known.
The land is a clay loam, mostly cleared. Oak, pine, gum and maple com- prise the timber standing. Lands range in price from $10 to $100 per acre, according to location and improvements. Produces 10 to 40 bus. wheat, 10 to 70 oats, 100 to 250 potatoes, 20 to 75 corn, 2 to 3 tona hay; tobacco not raised as a crop. Crops and business generally good.
The town is incorporated, the management of its municipal affairs being entrusted to a Board of five Commissioners, whose ordinances and edicts are scrupulously carried out by a faithful bailiff, who constitutes the police force. The only public building of note is the Court House, a handsome edifice of brick, built in 1852, said to be the most convenient in the State. The Jail, located in the rear of the Court House, is an old building, erected in the last century, and not at all in keeping with the other buildings. Efforts, however, are making to supplant it with a new and more modern one.
Previous to the hurricane of September, 1876, a beautiful willow grove ornamented a deep vale on one side of the Court House, where excursion parties during the hot months enjoyed the cool shade and the water of a de- lightful, sheltered spring. But the hurricane desolated the vale and prostra- ted the noble trees.
The Government, appreciating the importance of this location, has expended considerable money in connection with private capital in digging out the Cambridge Creek and widening the channel, so that at all times the town has a safe harbor and plenty of water. Many people from Delaware and the lower counties of Maryland avail themselves of the steamboats plying be- tween Cambridge and Baltimore for traveling and freight purposes. The
