Finest Hogs shipped to Georgetown; Harpers Ferry

Our town, says the Georgetown Gazette, already begins to reap some of the advantages to be derived from that splendid and great undertaking, the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Last week there was received here in one of the usual boats from the neighborhood of Harper’s Ferry, a drove of the finest HOGS, we ever recollect to have seen. Had these animals been driven by the usual route the cost of getting them to market would have been trebled upon the road. The facilities thus happily opened, for the farmers to bring their produce where it will meet with a ready sale, at advanced prices, cannot fail to increase the value of their landed property one third.
