Just completed on his farm, near priesthood
| Bridge. The house is admirably arranged for
comfort and convenience. The front building

ing the parlor from the dining room. From the
hall, which is eight feet wide, a massive wal
nut and ash stairway of easy rise leads to the
upper stories The front porch is ten feet
wide and extends the length of the house. The
chambers are light and airy and command a
charming view of the beautiful Deer Creek
country. The bathroom is supplied with water,
both hot and cold, drawn from aspiring - yards
distant, by small marine pump placed in the
cellar, by which il is forced into large tank in
| the attic. The interior wood work of the house
| is painted walnut color, except the wainscot-
| ing in the bathroom which is Oiled pine. The
exterior is painted u steel gray color with olive
| trimmings, window sashes cherry, the whole
presenting pleasing appearance. Every room
in the house, except the parlor, is fitted up with
complete closets. Throughout the building the

| of Bel Air. The plumbing was done by Mr..
Geo. W. Walher, of Baltimore, and the paint
ing by Mr. Geo. w. Townsley, of Bel Air. All the
