BALTIMORE COUNTY.
BALTIMORE COUNTY is the most central of the northern tier of coun- ties, and one of the largest in the State, being bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, east by Harford County, west by Carroll County, and south- west and south by the Patapsco Falls and River, separating it from Howard and Anne Arundel counties. This county, from its position surrounding the metropolis, is the most important in the State. The surface is uneven and varied, and the rivers and falls which traverse it afford immense water pow- ers, and are the sites of the most extensive milling operations in the Union. The Little and Great Gunpowder Falls, Patapsco River and Gwynn's and Jones' Falls are improved with large carpet, cotton and woolen factories, furnaces, foundries, paper and flouring mills, all doing a large and flourishing business. The finest and atrongest cotton duck and the best flour are here manufactured. In many parts fruits are extensively cultivated, and the vicinity of Baltimore is remarkable for the fine quality and profusion of its garden vegetables. Iron ores of the brown hematite order, magnetic oxide and carbonate species are found in many parts of the county, and smelted in small furnaces. South-west from Reisterstown are very extensive beda of chrome ore, yielding a large proportion of that article produced by our State, which furnishes the entire supply of chrome used in this country, and much of that used in Europe. The large beds of clay in the vicinity of Baltimore have always been celebrated for producing bricka unequalled in the country for uniformity of color and smoothness. Tbia clay is also manufactured into stoneware and earthenware. Beds of clay for fire-bricks also exist in the same vicinity.
Large quarries of fine building stone are extensively worked, affording good granite and gneiss, in the vicinity of Baltimore. In the neighborhood of Texas and Cockeysville are unlimited quantities of excellent marble, the fine-grained white species used for the Capitol extension at Washington, and the alum marble, well known from its use in the construction of the Patent Office at. Washington. Large quarries of limestone exist in many parts of the county ; a great quantity is burned at Texas. Lime is abundantin Long Green, Dulany's, Greenspring, Worthington and other valleys, which valleys contain some of the very finest and most productive lands in the State. There are some fisheries on the bay shore, and some of the best points for shooting wild fowl. This county is well provided with traveling facilities; most of the roads leaving the city are turnpikes, whilst all the railway routes also centre here. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad running south-westerly and westerly; the Western Maryland Railroad north-westerly; the Northern Central extends the entire length of the county in a northern direction, and the Philadelphia Railroad towards the east. There are also horse railways running westerly to Catonsville, and northerly to Towsontown, seven miles from Baltimore. The county is in length about 35 miles, the greatest width is 28 miles, and the least width on the Pennsylvania line about 11} miles, giving an area of 718 square miles.

BENTLEY'S SPRINGS
Is & mountain valley, enclosed by numbers of undulating knolls and heights covered with evergreens and wild flowers of every description, and springs of purest water burst from the hillsides and gush and gurgle through the shrub- bery, till they are lost in the noisy stream below. This place is owned by Mr. C. W. Bentley, of Baltimore, and bears his name, and is situated thirty- one miles from Baltimore, on the Northern Central Railroad, 600 feet above tide-water. Embracing upwards of 260 acres of land, it forms one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Baltimore county. The water st this place, as shown by Prof. Aikin's analysis, is highly medicinal, that of the principal springs resembling closely in composition and curative properties the water of the celebrated Lebanon Springs in New York State. Some years ago a hotel was erected with handsomely improved grounds. This hotel was burned several years ago. In the vicinity are a number of exten- sive paper mills. All the paper made at these mills is shipped from Bent- ley's, and the materials used are also received through this station. This, taken in connection with the agricultural products of the neighborhood and the other freight shipped from snd to this station, makes this a place of no small import. Within two miles of this place are situated three grist mills in connection with several saw mills, which have become s necessary conve- nience for the farmers in the vicinity. A school house is also being erected to accommodate the pupils who now assemble in one of the lower rooms of the warehouse. The improvements may be briefly enumerated as follows: To the west, at the foot of a high hill, nestles " Sunny Side," the summer residence of Mr. Bentley; in front of this is a large stone warehouse, used for the storage of freight; & few yards south of this, on the opposite side, is & nest frame building, used as s store and residence; at some distance north and facing the station is located the M. E. Parsonage of Bentley Springs Circuit; this is a tasty frame cottage, so situated as to command & view of the beautiful surrounding scenery, and itself constitutes an attrac- tive feature in the landscape of the romantic spot; still further north is the new M. E. Church, a fine large building, the material composing it being a fine quality of blue stone, which is abundant in this section. At a point be- tween the railroad track and the parsonage Mr. Bentley is having erected a very extensive foundry, boiler and machine shop, the foundations of which sre nearly completed. When this establishment is finished Mr. Bentley con- templates removing his establishment on Front street, adjoining Jones' Falls, Baltimore city. This will be the means of securing employment to a large number of hands, and of giving new life and excitement to this locality. The place promises to become a favorite summer resort very soon again, as the ground has been purchased from Mr. Bentley for the purpose of rebuild- ing the Glen House on a larger scale. Work will soon be begun, and the hotel will probably be ready for occupation by next season. Population 50. J. Houston, Postmaster.
