CALVERT COUNTY.
CALVERT COUNTY lies on the Western shore of Chesapeake Bay, and is one of the smallest counties, being in length about 32 miles, with an aver- age width of about 7 miles, having an area of 235 square miles. This county is a peninsula, and bounded by the Bay on the East, the Patuxent River on the West, and on the North by Anne Arundel County. The sur- face is undulating, and drains from a central elevation towards the Bay and River, into which numerous little creeks empty.
'The soil is a soft fine mold, except on the Patuxent where it is more clayey, and is well adapted to the growth of corn, tobacco and wheat, though the great staple is tobacco. The climate is generally warm and mild. The waters of the Chesapeake and Patuxent abound in the finest fish and oysters; immense quantities of the latter are annually carried to Baltimore and the Northern markets; the trade employing large numbers of men. Tripoli, which is used as a polishing material, is found in many localities, the deposit on the Patuxent being very large. Marl exists also, affording a good fertilizer in many localities. Oak, chestnut, pine and locust are the ustural timber growths, and mostly line the navigable waters, and are carried to market.

BALTIMORE STEAM BOILER WORKS.
C. W. BENTLEY, .. No. 25 S. Front Street,
Near Baltimore St. Bridge, BALTIMORE.
BENTLEY
MAKES A SPECIALTY OF STEAM BOILERS,
OIL TANKS, DOUBLE JACKET LARD KETTLES, SOAP PANS, SUGAR PANS,
BATH BOILERS,
Smoke Stacks, Oil Stills,
STORAGE TANKS, GAS HOLDERS, AND EVERY VARIETY OF PLATE IRON WORK.
Our Works have recently been fitted with new and very expensive Machinery, whereby . GREAT IMPROVEMENT 18 effected in the manufacture of BOILERS, TANKS, &c., producing more close and perfect workmanship with greater rapidity and leaa coat. All platea are PLANED to the proper hevel for caulking, so that the objectionable practice of splitting the edgea of platea to save the expense of chipping the bevel by band is avoided, and LESS PRESSURE is required in caulking to make the work tight. THE PUNCH- ING is done so perfectly exact as not to require the use of Drift-pin or Reamer. conae- quentiy the seams of Boilers are less liable to crack by use and greater safety and durability la obtained.
The process of Chipping although much better than that of Splitting, is also objectionable. It is difficult to bevel the edge of a plate of boller-iron and carry the chiael ao nicely as not to cut or injure the lower plate more or less. In this way a Channel is often ent entirely through the Skin of the Iron, which renders the Plate weak at the point of the greatest atrain. Experiment shows that a slight channel cut across a Bar or Piste of Iron greatly weakens it. This objection t have also donc away with by the introduction of my Plate Planer. The only one in Baltimore except at the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Shops for private use.
Particular attention pald to the construction of Cylinder. Return Flue, Locomotive, and Vertical Tubular Boilera. Having introduced the Upright Tubular Boiler to the pub- lic in its present form, and been its almost exclusive manufacturer for more than thirty years, until quite recently. i deem it bot just to say that my factlitles and experience in the manufacture or use of these Boilera are unequalled by any other maker.
All kinds of Steam Fittings; Wrought Iron Pipe. Steam and Water Ganges, Gange Cocks, Steam Valves, Safety Vaives, &c., furnished at the lowest market prices.
NEW and SECOND-HAND BOILERS alwave on hand. Particular attention will be paid to orders :or repairing old work Castings of every descript:oo forListed as que icw. eet market rates.

Some of its soila are sandy, some are low meadow-lands of rich black earth, but the largest proportion is a loam with a clay aubsoil. The last will pro- duce grains, grasses, vegetables, cotton, and tobacco, which latter two are raised in small quantities very successfully for domestic use. The sandy soil is very productive in sweet potatoes, and every variety of vegetables and fruits. Peaches are very largely cultivated and sent to Philadelphia, Balti- more and New York markets.
The general character of the county is level, but aufficiently undulating to afford drainage, and the roads are mostly level and hard, and give very fine travelling facilities. Some excellent fisheries of shad and herring are in the county, and crabs, wild ducks and other game are abundant in their respect- ive seasons.
