EDGEWOOD
Is on the P. W. & B. R. R., 21 miles from Baltimore and 9 miles from Bel Air; it is located in a diversified, improved and generally fertile country, enriched and beautified by tasteful dwellings and ornamental grounda; it is equidistant from the Gunpowder and Bush Rivers, on a ridge which declines by such easy lines on either hand as to lead the eye to suppose the whole peninsula a uniform plain. Gen'l Cad wallader'a magnificent domain of nearly 10,000 acres adjoins the place, and extends away to the shores of both of the above mentioned rivers. This is a noted point for aportsmen, the rivers abounding with fish and crabs in the summer, and in the autumn and winter they afford to the canvas back and red head ducks, celery grass and other marine plants, which will impart in 24 hours to these lordly water fowl, that high perfection of flavor so prized by epicures. These rivers are so famed that they are visited by aportsmen from remote points. The health of the place is generally good, subjected in early autumn to slight malarial diseases. Soil is composed of sand and clay loams ; lands one-half cleared, vary in value from $20 to $50 per acre, and produce 10 to 20 bus. wheat, 25 to 50 oats, 25 to 60 corn, 100 potatoes and 2 tons hay.

HAVRE DE GRACE
Is one of the oldest towns in the State, a settlement having been made here about the same time Claiborne settled Kent Island, in 1634 or '5. Several houses are still standing, dating back over a century. The town is beauti- fully located on the south bank of and near the mouth of the Susquehanna River, where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. It occupies a portion of a plain extensive enough to contain a city equal to London; flanked on the west by gracefully rising hills of checkered green and gold, while further in the background, rising to greater heights, are the laureled-browed mountains overlooking the river. Along the eastern front winds the bright, majestio river, emptying just below the town into the wide extended arms of the lovely Chesapeake, whose blue waters are here and there gemmed with emerald islands rising from the shining surface.
The harbor is said to closely resemble that of Rio de Janeiro, the most beautiful in the world. History tells us that General Lafayette recognised a striking resemblance in the harbor and surrounding scenery, to that of Harve, (formerly Harve de Grace) in France, and it is said, that owing to the ex- pression of Lafayette's, the name of the town was changed to Havre de Grace.
The Susquehanna, extending more than four hundred miles to the great lakes, and draining, as it does, a district more rich in agricultural and mineral products than any other on the continent, makes Havre de Grace the cheap- est and most natural outlet to the seaboard for the products of the pine forests, petroleum districts, and the great anthracite and bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania. With water and railroad communication to all points of the compass, in close proximity to the great Atlantic cities and commercial centres, within two hours by rail of the capital, and about four to the metropolis of the nation, in the midst of a rich agricultural country, abounding in wood and water ; the waters in the immediate vicinity yielding

in great abundance and at the cheapest rates, the most desirable varieties of fish and water fowl, make, when combined with a genial and salubrious climate, Havre de Grace a delightful and desirable place of residence, either for business or leisure.
The town is incorporated and governed by & Board of five Commissioners, elected annually ; it is handsomely laid out with wide streeta. The general architecture of the town is not costly or imposing. The houses are neat, and the flourishing gardens and yards, ornamented with shrubbery and flowers, display the cultured taste of the residents.
The manufactures, consisting mainly in a steam merchant flouring mill, two canning establishments, & bone grinding and fertilizing factory, an extensive saw and plaining mill, and a double track marine railway, capable of hauling out the largest class vessels.
The shad and herring fisheries in the immediate vicinity afford employ- ment to many, and add considerable to the business of the town. During the fall and winter, quite a number of the residents are engaged in ducking, and a large revenue is derived from this source. Another branch of industry, in favorable seasons, is the cutting snd storing of ice; as much as 200,000 tons have been cut in one season. Probably the largest business carried on here is the re-shipping of anthracite coal. Two of the great mining and carrying companies are represented-the Penna, and the Reading, the former by Messrs. Hilles, Boyd & Co., and the latter by A. P. McCombs & Co.
There are here several fine Churches, a Town Hall, Odd Fellow's Hall, a High and Primary Schools, for white and colored. Population 2,000. T. M. Sumption, Postmaster.

ern part of the county, and flow into the Susquehanna. "The Rocks of Deer Creek " is one of the most romantic spots in the State, and well worth a visit of the admirers of the great works of nature. These rocks form 'a great promontory projecting over the road, passing along the bank of the Creek.
Perhaps no county in the State has improved more in appearance, fertility and general prosperity, during the last few years, than Harford. The productiona are wheat, buck wheat, oats, corn and hay. This county possesses fine water powers, improved by furnaces, factories, foundries, flour mills, and numerous saw and grist mills. In this county are large quarries of excellent building stone of a gneiss or granite character. The county pos- sesses large beds of iron ore, asbestos, and some of the most valuable chrome beda in the world. Near the Pennsylvania line, extensive slate quarries have been worked, and near Abingdon there exists a very large deposit of kaolin or porcelain clay, of a pure white color, very good quality, fit for making fine porcelain ware. Very large shad and herring fisheries are located around the Susquehanna and Bay shore, and innumerable flocks of wild fowl swarm around the tide waters of the county, and afford with the fisher- ies a good business for many of the inhabitants of that region.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad passes through the county from Havre de Grace, and the Tidewater Canal runs along the west bank of the Susquehanna, having its outlet at Havre de Grace. The Balti- more, Towsontown and Delta Railroad, which is now being laid out, when constructed, will give additional facilities to a large portion of the county.
