In visit to our excellent friend, David
Hollingsworth, a few days Since, our attention
was called to an inscription on the Eastern
end of his dwelling. We found it marked
with the date of 1854, and feel justified in
saying thatit is the oldest house now standing
in the Valley.
1t was erected by Mr. Hollingsvorth's
grandfather 1t not far from the Shawnee
Springs, where the Indian tribe Of that name
were formerly located, and near tho spot on
which white woman was scalped-a circum-
stance that occurred after the settlement $of
the Hollingsworth family on the farm. The
house is of substantial stone, built in honest
times, and will last for centuries yet to come.
We understand Gen Morgan often quarter
ed in it in the Revolutionary time. Il 81 /
Speaking of this farm, we may be permitted
to mention that we were struck with the do
eided Improvement which Mr. Hpllingsworth
has effected within few years. Hiserop Of
wheat is very promising ane, and be- has
renovated some slate lands, of which bis farm
is partly composed, and they now yieIda pro-
duct equal to the best limestone. The effects
Of system, good order, and industry, are visi-
bic every where, and 4 towusman cannct fail
to-notiee much to please the eye and glad
den the heart IFindhesiey Rt9sablieast 7
