Washington's Birthplace i.


Fifty-four miles southeast of Wash
ington as the crow flies, .fifty-one north
east of Richmond, is Pope's creek in
the county of Westmoreland, where
Washington was born. Two hundred
and forty-seven years ago the traveller
from Europe, as his ship worn by
months of storms, sailed up the broad
Potamac, which is here four and one
half miles wide, might have seen e low.
one-story, gambrel-roofed house on the
shore of creek on his right The house
was large and magnificent one for
those days and was surrounded by
offices and negro cabins. While the
traveller was watching the scene on the
shore the ship was sailing up the creek.
and, anchoring in front OF the house,
sent its owner the much needed clothing
and other articles of ware, and the last
news from London. The sight that
struck the travellers eyes was novel and
pleasing. The house was only half a
mile from the river, and across the river
the shores Of Maryland were to be seen,
and clear sweep of the river down to
where it poured into Chesapeake bay.
Down by the mouth of the creek the
soil was rich and mouldy, and the rice
and Indian corn fourished; near at
hand the soil was sandy and covered
with huckleberries, cranberries and chin
capin bushes. Behind, on the lowlands,
clump of live-oaks, cedars and cypr ess
es gave a partial air of gloomy quiet to
the place. Higher up in the background,
on the ridges between the creeks, grew
the forests primeval of ash, oak, beech
and hickory. In summer the clearing
around the house was brilliant with the
colors of the May apple, the yellow jas

chestnut. At the left OF the house were
the hazel bushes, where grew the peas,

The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1879-11-19

There is certain place on Calvin
Holmes place, in Knights valley, where
deer run at night, and on their course
are obliged to jump over fence. John
Davidson noticed this, and concluded to
have one Of the fleet animals. Accord
ingly he procured scythe blade, set the
heel of it into the ground, giving the
blade the proper slant to take effect,
Judging entirely from hoof-marks pre-
viously made by deer running there.
In the morning, after fixing the blade as
described. Davidson visited the spot and
found fine fat buck lying dead on the
ground. The ANIMAL had jumped ovel
the fence, struck the point Of the scythe
which penetrated his brisket and made
large wound that instantly proved
fatal. This is probably the first case O
killing deer by the method above men
toned. --Independent Calistogidn.
