KENT COUNTY.
KENT COUNTY is the second in the tier of Eastern Shore counties; has an area of 318 square miles, and ia bounded on the east by Delaware, and is a peninsula lying between the Sassafras River on the north, separating it from Cecil County, the Chesapeake Bay on the west, and the Chester River on south and south-east, separating it from Queen Anne's County.

MARYLAND DIRECTORY.
The first settlement of the county was made by William Clayborne and a Protestant colony from Virginia, with Rev. Richard James of the Church of England, Rector. The settlement was organized and represented by Captain Nicholas Martin, in the Legislature of Virginia, several years before the charter of Maryland waa granted to Lord Baltimore. The first county Beat was the "Towne on Kent Island;" the second was New Yarmouth, on Gray's Inn Creek, where the first session of the County Court was held 22d June, 1686.
The county is level though not very low, and sufficiently rolling to be well drained by many creeks flowing into its border rivers and the Bay. The soil is mostly a light friable clayey loam, very easily improved and pro- ductive. Wheat, oats and corn, and every variety of vegetables, grow abundantly. The farms are very fine where attended with any care, and nearly every farm has its orchard of hundreda, and in some instances, thou- sands of peach trees, producing immense crops of this delicious fruit, which are taken to market by the Sassafras and Chester River ateamers, which run daily most of the year. Several single peach orcharda in the county yield sufficient to employ one steamer in the fruit season. Other fruits grow well where cultivated.
Kent has abundance of fine fishing, and on the Bay shore and in Chester River inexhautible oyster beds, which give employment to a large portion of the population, and during the season is generally surrounded by flocks of thousands of wild ducks, awans, &c., which also afford fine game and much profit to many persons. The productions are wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, wool, hay, live atock, and orchard products. The Kent County & Smyrna & Delaware Railroad, and the Chester and Sassafras Rivers, offer every facility for freight and travel during all seasons of the year.
Kent County has given to Maryland many of her ablest and most distin- guished citizena, among whom may be mentioned, with pride, Captain Robert Vaughan, Colonel Hana Hanson, Thomas Ringgold, merchant; Colonel Isaac Perkins, Judge Ezekiel Forman Chambers, and Hon. James Alfred Pearce. In the city of Baltimore old Kent is now worthily represented by Hon. S. Teackle Wallis, at the bar, and by the eminent merchant, Mr. James Hodges, in commercial and financial circles.

CHESTERTOWN,
The county seat, is the third county seat since its settlement in 1627-8, and organization in 1642. In 1706 Chestertown, (called the Town of Chester,) was laid off upon a tract of land, containing one hundred acres, "on a plan- tation of Mr. Joce's," but languished until 1730, when an impetus was given by increasing traffic and a growing population. Being a port of entry, its foreign trade was extensive and very remunerative. Large warehouses were built, and elegant and commodious residences were erected by its wealthy inhabitants. It soon became the fashionable centre of a highly cultivated and refined circle. In 1752 it boasted a handsome Town Hall and a conve- nient Theatre, and was inferior to no provincial town on the continent in intellectual culture and commercial importance.
The trade of the town now is largely dependent upon the natural pro- ducts, fruit, grain and vegetables, of the well cultivated and productive lands of the county. Manufactories of agricultural implements, carriages and iron-ware, are already successfully established; but there remaina a good opening and wide field for many branches of skilled labor and enterprise.
As a place of residence and business, Chestertown proposes many advan- tages. It is beautifully situated on the right bank of Chester River, about 60 miles by water from Baltimore, and is distant about 90 miles by rail from Philadelphia. It is, therefore, within easy reach of either city, and can avail itself of the markets of both. The market of Chestertown is well sup- plied with butcher's meats, of every kind, poultry, fish, game and oysters, and, in their season, with an abundance of the best fruits and vegetables.
The inhabitants are kind, generous, hospitable, and are well provided with comfortable places of public worship, and the means for the proper educa- tion of their children.
The schools in town, public and private, are very good, and afford every facility for the acquisition of a solid education in all the important English branches. Near town, within a walk of five minutes, is the venerable Washington College, founded in 1783, presided over by a learned faculty, and capable of imparting a thorough collegiate education ; covering a command- ing eminence near, is Chester Cemetary, a beautiful burial place for the dead. Population 2,000. John W. Collins, Postmaster.
