nIMKOD HALL.
A Summer ResOrt fra BATH County
Its surroundings.
NIMEoD HALL, BATH COUNTY, !
August 7, 1888. !

NNEoD HALL, BATH COUNTY,
August 7, 1888.
To The Edtor Of the Dispa'ch:
Nimrod Hall, the prettiest mountain
resort Tor It's size IN the State, is six and
half miles from Milboro' depot on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway. The road
is one OF the best and tho scenery I'M
surpassed. After your drive OF six miles
you begin to wonder ii there Is snch a
place ~ NimIod hall, when suddenly q
bend in the road shows the white build
iugs nesting in the foliage of the large
trees which surround the house. II is
beautifully situated on hill. On the
front is a perfect view Of mountain
ranges called very properly Rough
mountains on the back, the most perfect
view of valley, hill, and mountain. The
beautiful Cowpasture Called Wallawha-
toola or crooked river by the Indians,
winds Ike a silver serpent through rich
bottoms, fringed on either side for per-
haps q mile with willows and sycamores,
and then tall clif rises suddenly on one
side, while the other shore is like a sea
beach, SO gradual is it. The valley view
shows across the river and opposite MIN
rod Hall the fine farm and comforta-
bic dwelling of Mr.. A. s. Porter, one Of
the most successful farmers IN this part
of the State. A half mile further up the
river is the beautiful place Of Mr.. j. p.
Hawkins, formerly a large dealer and
manufacturer of tobacco in Danyille.
Mr.. Hawkins has his farm in good condi-
ton and stocked with fine horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, and with poultry, and all
of the finest breed. Further up the
river we see part OF MIR. A. L. Withe-
rows fine farm, and beyond that part
OF the Wallawhatoola farm, the beautiful
summer home of Mr.. II. A. Lancaster,
of your city. Then there are mountains
and mountains till in the distance Chest
nut Ridge rises on one side and parallel
with it the Shenandoah mountains. Our
amusements are in the daytime such as
riding, driving. and walking along the
picturesque roads, fishing either for
black bass in the river or trout in the
mill creeks. Soon we will wend our way
to mountain and river and stand in the
hope Of bringing down an antlered mon
arch of the mountains. This place is
well kept by Mrs. Henry @. Smith. The
table is loaded with the best A pack OF
hounds for deer-driving is kept There
is good tennis court. At night there
is dancing or cards, perhaps both.
Quite number OF Richmond people
are expected soon.
The mother country has been well re-
presented in genial, CHEEKY Captain Rum
bold, now OF Baltimore, Nd, Mr.. Beau
derth, the Isaac Walson Of the place, and
Messrs. Carrier, Freeman, and Hordem,
and for awhile Msssrs. Bruce. now Of

at n glance. Here comes q woman
through the crowd. whose heavy
plate-shaped earrings, twice as large as
silver dollar, drag her ears almost down
TO her shoulders, and whose loose jacket
and skirt considerably shorter behind
than in front show that she belongs TO
one OF the mountain tribes. just now
she seems 10 be doing duty as railway
porter by carrying on her back pom
derous wooden chest almost as big az
herself, which ia attached to thong
passed around Der forehead--a spectacle
that explains at once why the foreheads
OF the llimalsyan ladies in these parts
are all so broad and so low.
But before we can note one half OF the
curious things around US the train Is oil
again, aud in truth, il is full time. We
are already late, and although we have
been hours on the way, IL seems as II
we had gone hardly any distance at all
thousands OF feet up in the air as we
ore, with the great plain Of North
ern Bengal growing dim in the
far distance below us, we seem
to be quite down in the valley compared
with those mighty ridges thstloom over
head in all their blue, shadowy ysstness;
and even these are as nothing to the
giant ramparts of eternal snow which
tower unseen behind them. So away
we go upward, upward still, past dry,
stony gullies which will be roaring tor
rents few months hence, past frowning
precipices aud gloomy pine-forests, past
lonely bowels porched upon jut'ing
craes, past many grim confusion OF
fallen boulders ard mounds Of drifted
sand and shattered trunks of trees LETT
by some recent earth-slide. 1t is 4:3O
o'clock in the afternoon when We rattle
up TO the highest point of the Hima-
layan railway-viz., the little station of
Ghoom-memorable MS the abode of a
truculent old native sorceress called the
" witch of Ghoom," whose chastity face
is conspicuous in our hotel album-and
thence slightly downward incline of
four miles brings us into DarJeeling
itself

Metrnpolitan Theater.

The promise of advertisement, posters
and circulars which glowed with extrava-
CANT praise, in the interest of the Morris
La Forge Company in "Cupid's Franks"
was not kept. On the contrary the whole
thing was dismal failure and cheat. A
large audience assembled, having been de-
ceived by the extravaganza announcements
by handsome circulars and lithographic
posters, aud somewhat less fulsome ad-
vertisements. 1t sat through the weak and
pointless first act in hope of something
better later on. 1t endured the second act
in chagrin and resentment, and at its
close large numbers left the theater
in disgust The third act capped the eli
max andsthose who remained got the most
they could out of the affair, by contemp-
tuous laughter and exchange of humorous
condolences. Morris himself has some
comedy quality, and there is a fair tenor
voice in the company of ten persons. But
the piece is pointless, plotless, and its per-
formers amateurish and weak. To charge
an admission fee for it is imposition. The
company leaves to-day for other fields
one night here was enough for it and for
Sacramento. The piece was played two
nights in Santa Rosa, one at Napa and
one at Vallejo, but the understanding bad
been that the first performance was to have
been here-that, fortunately, the public
escaped.

Grave of Colonel w. $. Hamilton.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Perhaps can in
form to some extent in regard to Colonel
VIM. S. Hamilton, son of General Hamil-
ton, of which your paper speaks. My
father, Samuel Rich, in the spring of 1850
opened a hotel known as Our Home"
No. Ill ] street, between Sixth and Sew
enth.
During the month of July the Colonel
came down from the mountains and re-
manned at Our Home" till his death. AS
the rooms and hunks were full, father en-.
gagged a room three doors below and got a
cot for him too sleep upon. Soon after he
came he was taken sick. During that time
| brought him his meals and waited upon
him. His sickness WIS of short duration.
All was done for him that lay in our
power but he passed away gently, far
away from home and relatives the 9TH of
August, and was buried in lone spot at
the City Cemetery.
His friend, Colonel C. C. Woodmau, of
Cambridge, Mass, some few years ago COM
municated by letter to me in regard to his
death, and to know whether any monu-
ment was ever set up over his grave. In
due time he shipped one from New York,
in care Il believe) of Colonel Barstow, who
resided in San Francisco. He shipped it
to Israel Luce Sacramento. At a certain
day the Colonel came up, and in company
of Mr.. Luce, Mr. Farthington and my
self, erected the same over his grave. His
remains, | believe, were removed three
times. The last time there was but little
that remained. 1t was gathered up and
placed in the plot owned by Colonel G. c..
Woodman. The Colonel came out last
summer and visited the grave l have not
heard from him since. The members of
the Post would do well to communicate
with him, and not let the resting place of
young Hamilton go neglected.
