held its annual pic mic in Druid Hill Park OF
Thursday. The school was conveyed in two spe

The country never looked fresher and more
beautiful at this season of the year than it doe.
Just now. The frequent rains have kept the fields
and trees fresh and green and there is of that
scared and dead appearance of the vegetation that
usually greets the eye towards the latter part Of
August. This has really been most remarkable
summer-one the like of which the Coolest inhab.
liant" scarcely recalls.
Mr.. John GLADDEN. having just completed
a very commodious covered dancing pavilion near
the station at the Rocks Of Deer Creek, Maryland
Central railroad, the first dance was held there on
Tuesday night, under the management of Messrs.
Wheeler & Wilson, who rent the property and
conduct the store at the station. Wrights orches-
ira from Baltimore furnished the music and a
large company of young folks enjoyed very
pleasant evening.
The condition of the public road leading
from CromwelPs bridge to the Hartford road, near
Glcnarm, is simply disgraceful. One or two of
the bridges on it are in a really dangerous condi-
ton and may cause an accident which will put the
county to heavy expense. We think it would be
the part of good policy to have these matters at
tended to without further delay. The supervisor
should remember the old adage which says ga
stitch in time," &c. Better spend 500 now than

The remnant of the old house located on the
bed of the old Philadelphia road, five miles from
Baltimore, known as the Red House, has recently
been removed. This house was standing during
the Revolutionary war and is said to have been
the most prominent house of public entertainment
on the road between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
1t is said that General Washington had his head
quarters in it for time and that the militia were
recruited and mustered here, and also that pris-
oners of war were kept in it temporarily. An in
cident is told in this connection, viz: A man who
was engaged in furnishing supplies to the enemy,
on being detected was pursued and caught in the
vicinity and lodged in this house for safe keeping
over night, guarded by soldiers. and at midnight
he by some means got his bands off and the guard
being all asleep he pushed two of them out of an
open door and ran, and on being overtaken by
dogs he Kissed them back on his pursuers and eff
fected his escape. PRINCIPLE.
