The once beautiful residence of Col. A.
R. Boteler, Fountain Rock" mile south
of Shepherdstown, which was burned to the
ground in 1864 by order of General Hunter,
is to be restored to its former fair proper
tons, after having laid in ruins for over
twenty-five years. The plans call for a
picturesque building of stone, two stories in
height with tower and angles and porches
charmingly arranged for comfort and beau
ty. Fountain Rock" has all the natural
advantages one could wish, and when the
lovely park shall have been improved as in
tended it will indeed be a thing of beauty.
We trust that Col Boteler and his estima-
bic wife may long live to enjoy their restor-
ed hOme.-&epherdstowa Register.
