for the Upper New River Valley of North Carolina and Virginia
CAROLINE COUNTY is of small area, and is bounded on the east by the State of Delaware, north-west and west by Queen Anne's and Talbot, and south by Dorchester counties.
The main branch of the Great Choptank River runs through the county, and is navigated by steamboats to Denton. This, with several creeks, afford excellent facilities for sending produce to market, and in return, obtaining lime, ashes and manures; scarcely any land lying more than five miles from navigable water.
Some of its soils are sandy, some are low meadow-lands of rich black earth, but the largest proportion is a loam with a clay subsoil. The last will produce 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, Baltimore and New York markets.
The general character of the county is level, but sufficiently 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 respective seasons.

The county seat, is an ancient little town, situated on the Great Choptank River, 6 miles below the head of navigation of schooners of 100 tons burthen, 150 miles by water to Baltimore, and 90 by rail to Philadelphia. It is incorporated and its government confided to five Commissioners and a Bailiff, who hold their places for one year from the date of their election. Its site has an elevation of from 25 to 30 feet above the level of the river, it is well drained, and consequently has the recommendation of freedom from mud, a pest of most country towns The main street has well paved side-walks which are welt shaded by Maple and Georgia Poplars. It has tri-weekly communication with Baltimore. Ridgely Station, on the Md. & Del. Rail Road, can be reached daily by a ride of 6 miles by stage coach. Street lamps afford light. Water is supplied by pumps and is of excellent quality, though somewhat unpleasant to strangers, being slightly impregnated with iron. The public buildings, viz: tile court house and jail (the latter seldom occupied by its appropriate denizens) are built upon a public square of rather more than an acre in extent, filled with shade trees, making it a pleasant resort for the citizens of the town in hot weather, and affording splendid croquet grounds; the square is said to be the largest and prettiest public square on the shore. The court house is built in old English style, having a main building of brick, with wings of the same material on either side. The town is remarkably healthy and equally quiet. It has of places of public worship, for the whites, one Methodist, one Catholic and one Episcopal church, and two churches for the colored people; it has an academy, having a higher and lower department; and two comfortable hotels. The Masonic Fraternity has a commodious hall for their meetings. Population 500. Chas. Stevens Postmaster.

Is situated immediately on the Md. & Del. H. H., 121 miles from Baltimore and 30 from Easton; it has the unusual fortune of having two counties and two States for its area; it lies mostly in Maryland and partly in Delaware, and derives its name from the abbreviation of those two States. The climate is mild, place healthy and land mostly cleared. It is in the midst of a country whose soil, which consists of sandy loams, is easily cultivated and improved. The land is worth from $15 to $40 per acre, and produces 8 to 20 bus wheat, 10 to 25 oats and 20 to 40 corn, and a fair amount of other products. Crops are generally good. It is not a pretentious town, but it has celebrity and enterprise; deriving the former from the May-Bennett duel, and exhibiting the latter in its large fruit preserving establishment. This establishment preserves or dries by the SEYMOUR process an immense amount of peaches during the season. There is also here a steam saw mill and agricultural implement factory; in connection with the latter is a sorghum syrup mill; the juice from the cane is evaporated in steam heated pans, invented by the ingenious proprietor, Mr. Wm. W. McKnett, and produces a syrup of dense gravity and excellent flavor. There is not much original forest left, and the timber yet standing is composed of oak, gum, maple, poplar and hickory. Good Inducements are offered agriculturalists, fruit growers and truckers. Marydell M.E. Church, Rev. E. H. Hynson; M. E. South, Rev. Mr. Watts. Population 175. James Green, Postmaster.
