on Saturday last by a visit from "Quilp," Of
the Cecil Wing, whose historic researches
have reached their SD chapter in that journ.
al, and have been brought down 10 the period
Of l747. Mr.. johnson, while here, visited
all the places of public interest in our city.
copied the inscriptions upon the tombs of
William Winchester ana Leigh Masters, and
visited the oldest stone in the Westminster
Cemetey, bearing date 1907. This stone has
no other legible marks upon il, but there is
something resembling an inscription, which
appears to have been eraced by the corroding
tooth of time. Mr. johnson said the old stone
was precisely like one on the top of Iron Hill
IN New Castle county, Delaware, said to
have been placed in It's position by an off.
Ger Of the British army. Mr.. johnson sub
sequently visited Mr. Thomas T.. Van Bibber,
with whom he had previously corresponded
on historical subjects. He purposes bringing
his historic sketches down to the present
time, and possibly his plans may embrace
history Of the State. Nearly thirty years ago
he was contributor to the columns of the
Cecil Democrat, then published by the senior
editor of the ADVOCATE, and his ready pen
embellished that journal with articles both in
prose and verse. He retarned to Cecil on
Monday, gratihed with the results of his FIRST
visit 10 this portion of western Maryland.
