Rosy june.

The glory of the Summer is here leafy,
rosy June, with her wealth of early fruits,
foliage and flowers; her mellow, lingering
morning and evening twilights, her radiant
MONDAY skies and soft balmy atmosphere,
that gives to life its keenest zest and makes
mere existence a joyous boon and blessing.
A trip to the country, at this season, is eXhil-
arating to the senses, delighting the eye with
the freshness and brightness of the yerdure
regaling the olfactories with the life giving
fragrance of foliage and flowers, and ravishing
the ear with the melody of the feathered
songsters in field and forest, The romance
and beauty of the season are sufficient to in
spire the most prosaie and insensate with
something of the enthusiasm of the poet and
the keen appreciation of the devotee of nature,
who not only reYels in existence in the full
enjoyment of the present life, but feels ire
pressible and indefinable yearnings, reaching
forward to the life to come.
The name of this month has been claimed
in honor of Juno, but better evidence declares
that it was dedicated q JuniOribus-that is, to
the Junior or inferior branch of the original
legislature of Rome, as May was dedicated d
Mgjorib,Ls, or to the superior branch. June
was the month which the Romans considered
the most propitious season for contracting
matrimonial engagements. 1t is the month of
greatest summer beauty, the month in which
the trees are in their best and freshest garni-
ture. 1t is the month, too, of flowers, and
comes bending beneath weight of roses.
The following lines of Hewitt are appro-
pirate to the present month:
This sweet time, the glory of the Spring;
Young verdurous Junes delightful opening.
When leaves are loveliest.
And young fruits and flowers
Fear not the frost of Mays uncertain hours
Rich, rife. luxuriaDt, yet with tenderest hues,
Waves the full foliage; and with morning dews
And showers that gush down from the radiant Skies
To bring below the air of Paradise
Awaking freshest fragrance as they pass.
There is peerless greennesS on the grass,
Yet somewhat darkened with the loftier swell,
And purple tinge ofspike and panicle

- Quite merry party left Westminster on
Whit Monday, their destination being the
residence of Mr.. Frank Lamotte near Einks-
burg, where Miss Maggie and few guests
waited to receive them. Arriving at their
destination, they were cordially received, and
after resting little while strolled off in groups
and couples, the couples in the majority, to
catch fish in the falls, but the result OF their
labors seemed to be the capture hearts instead
of fish. The champion fisherman however sue
ceeded in catching "Minnie'' fully two

invitation to the dining room was responded
to, where a table laden with delicious cake,
refreshing ice cream and luscious fruit pleased
the eve and tempted the palate.
Attwelve o clock the party started for home,
but as the moonlight was so inviting and the
occupants of the various vehicles had discov-
cred its beauty during the many quiet strolls
through Mr.. Lamotte's beautiful grounds, the
drive home was much slower than that OF the
afternoon. The party were unanimous IN
their expressions of enjoyment of the day, and
their appreciation of the hearty and cordial
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Lamotte and Miss
Maggie, who spared no pains to give pleasure
to their guests. The party from Westminster
consisted of Misses Mary and Maggie Rine-

Our SANS Creek correspondent writes
On Whit Monday the annual celebration of

Browning, of New Windsor; Rev. G. A. Reid,
of Westminster; Jos. d. Baker, Esq, and
Hon. M. G. Urner, of Frederick city. Sing.
ing by the school and music by the celebrated
Daysville brass band, was furnished at inter
walls which enlivened theoccasion considerably.
In the afternoon the Linganore guards, under
the command of Capt. Danner, gave credit
able exhibition of military drill, eliciting much
commentator for the proficiency exhibited by
them In the manual at arms, The number Of
fancy tlrHepfs and handsome eqqipages was
a prominent feature of the day as well as the
hapheF of stylish women, stately matrons and
"fqir lassies" with rosy cheeks, bright eyes
and fine compilations, looking like lovely
Galateas, into whom the god of love had
breathed the breath of life. The day, as a

carron County as a summer Resort.

We would like our correspondents, and all
others cognizable of the facts, to report to this
office by letter or postal card, the number of
summer visitors id their respective neighhar-
hoods, whether at hotels, private houses, or
other places of resort. Our object is to as.
certain the number of those who resort to the
green hills and valleys of Carroll county for
health and recreation during the summer
months. Westminster is anticipating the in
fux of goodly number. Her hotels are
nicely kept and every attention is paid to the
comfort Of guests, All who have tried the
effect of our inEignratiHg mountain air, and
pure water, are anxious to do so again. All
tho towns and other simmer resorts in Car
roll are more or less popular on account of
the well known healthfulness of the climate,
freedom from mosquitoes, the beauty of the
scenery, and many other advantages, There
is no more desirable or convenient place to
escape the heat and dust of the cities, than
Carroll county, This fact is now becoming
20 well understood that the number of visit
ors here from Baltimore, Washington, and
the malarial districts Of the State, is increas-
ing annually. 1t is growing into proverb
that if you want to escape malarin, Ego to
