Mr.. EDITOR-D Dear Sir:-After | left YOU Yesterday
on the cars, and having such pleasant trip down,
thought would drop yOu few lines. On my trip
Southwark ] arrived in Washington about o'clock
and learned that had four hours and half to wait
got my dinner and took stroll to the Capitol but
spent only short time there. AS had visited it
before it not very interesting. | then walked
over to the Smithsonian Institute and after spending
an hour or two there, visited the Horticultural de-
partment and spent some time there After leaving
the Horticultural department spent the balance of
my leisure time in the Agricultural department and
then took car for the Norfolk boat. which was to
leave at 80 o'clock When reached the boat found
that the boiler out of order and that they would
not be able TO start for an hour two, went to
the Arsenal and Government works and returned
but did not get Off until 20 minutes to . o'clock.
got my supper on the boat and had very pleasant
trip down the river got off at the McWhartCr Bros
Wharf about 10 O'clock walked about half mile to
the house, and found all well and glad to see me-
The brothers had gone to Norfolk After dinner
had green gooseberry pie for dinner took a walk in
the strawberry patch and got good mess of ripe
STRAWBERRIES The ladies tell me they expect to pick
on Monday; they have about 20 acres in berries
acres in cabbage, some Of which headed and
nearly ready for market They had the mower cut
| ting clover, which is out in head
While | was eating dinner learned that the men
were going out fishing, and requested them to wait
until had finished SO that might go with them.
| They have what they call pond out half mile or
! more. The pond is round and about 30 feet in
| diameter with a hedge running towards the shore
For three four hundred yards they dipped up, |
suppose, twenty bushels of different kinds of fish and
crabs. Among the different kinds of fish. were shGd
trout perch, and what they call round heads
| two surgeons about six feet long, and lots of
| other kinds that / know no name for. The Ofal
| fish they compost for manure. They tell me they
have cOmpOsed about 1000 bushels of fish and crabs
| this year they have quite a large lot of manure
They have water MELONS and cantelOupe vines from
four to inches long young apples large hickory
| nuts. cherries nearly grown, but green yet. Yours
