Al Letter from FrederieIxtown.
Correspondence Of the Middleton Transcript.
FREDERICKTowN, May 13, 1868.

Mr.. Editor.-In my former letter from
Fredericktown, you had merely descrip-
tion of the place and its business capacity;
but this is not all it is noted for. The
beautiful scenery which. surrounds it is
unsurpassed. Nature has layished her
choicest gifts upon this place. The noble
Sassafras has its source about six miles
distant, and flowing gently by this town,
discharges its waters into the Chesapeake
Bay. An artist would do well to come
here and sketch few of these charming
scenes from nature. The view from Lo-
Gust Hill Academy is quite enchanting.
Situated much above the elevation of the
town, it commands fine view of it and
the intervening slope which falls graceful
ly towards the river. Sojourners are par
ticularly attracted to it by the romantic
and picturesque view it affords.
Our principal amnsements, during the
Summer season, are grabbing, fishing,
boating by moonlight, &c. Many crab
ing parties resort hither, in the season.
Choice varieties of fish may also be caught
with the silver hook and bathing, that
great luxury which inland towns do not
Middletown transcript., 1868-06-06

possess, is here enjoyed to the utmost by
all who will plunge their languid limbs
into the depths Of the cooling waters.
Boating, by moonlight, is another source
Of exquisite enjoyment. There can al
ways be seen, on the beach, the light fan
tastic skiff, awaiting those who wish to
partake Of the evening pleasure. All on
board, and the skiff Is launched into the
silvery stream, the feathered oar is ap-
piled, and the bark glides swiftly over the
rippling waves, while the voyagews, with
their fine vocal powers, send out upon the
evening zephyrs the most touching melo-
dy. If the lovers of Nature would visit
this place, think they could not but be
delighted. Yours, Truly, 2

Thos. b. 1TeConaughey's
PATENT CORN DROPPER.

THIS Dropper will positively save
4 one-balf the time over the old way
of dropping corn. I6
It will drop right in the cross. \
1t can be set to average any number
of grains desired to q hill.
1t can be regulated to scatter the NE
corn more or less in the hill, or drop
it all in close bunch If desired. In I&
windy weather this Dropper is just the A
thing needed, as the corn cannot be
blown about while dropping. INvlI
All who have used these Droppers Iflb
agree in the opinion that the corn vIIVi
comes up more regularly after them,
and there is less re-planting to do, be-
cause they drop more regular number I'M
of grains to hill, ard every grain is
sure to be in the cross, where they are
covered alike. -, i .|7N
Every Dropper win be warranted to
do all that is herein claimed for them, S
or they will be taken back and the
money refunded.
