Last summer we drove the lsngh sd breadth Of
our own little Slate and override BAstern Shore Of
Maryland. Previously we had driven over the
greater part Of pennsSlvania and visited most Oh
jsets oil popular interest In that STATE.
We now designs unless attEacted by some moro
alluring route, to cresa the State Of New jersey
to Raritan Bay, pass ~ tho EDISON river side, re-
cross the State on Its otthsRborder and descend
the Delaware River to our hamos upon it's shore
This will comprise an exclusion of from 400 to
500 miles which We contemplate making by easy
stages in tho course of csupla Of weeks or SO, al
lowing time to liugsr awhile whenever objects Of
interest invite delay. " ~

An early start from Frankford was not hard to
make. We called the girlSbefore the sun had risen
and found them all up and ready equipped
for travel. Upon expressing our pleasure at their
promptness they cooly referred us to the poslifer
Gus mosquitoes who had commenced their attack
early in the night and continued with vigor until
about midnight, when The girls capitulated, got to-
gether their dry goods and prepared for hasty
flight.
From frankfort to Bristol is pleasant drive
upon tho turnpike, which is too far from the rivei
to afford us a satisfactory Wow of the recent i'm.
provemenis and fine residences along the shores
Lanes here and there lead from the turnpike to th.
villages and summer places along the banks of the
river, and we are continually meeting carriages
freightOd with the beauty and fashion Of the river
side.
HOlmesburg, ten miles above, is moro cheerful
village which sharas the fate of Frankford in n,
vicinage TO Phiadelphia nd can boast only Of n.
manufacture Of agrieunuiel tools, particularly
