AN INTERESTING TRIP.-Mr. VIM. Lee Amoss
and his sister, Miss Martha Amoss, of Fall
ston, returned on Monday from driving tour
of two weeks duration, which extended as far
as Southern New Jersey. They left home in
two-horse buggy on Monday, August oath,
crossed the Susquehanna at Conowingo, thence
by way OF Rising Sun, Cecil county, to Oxford,
Chester county, Pa. From thence they went
to West Chester, Norristown, Bryn Mawr and
Philadelphia, Pa, Camden, Rverton, Moores-
town, Riverside, Beverly and Burlington, N. j.,
Bristol, Langhorn, north of Philadelphia,
through Edgehill and the Wissahickon Drive.
TO Philadelphia. Thence by way of Darbie,
Chester and Wilmington, Del. and by way of
Conowingo bridge TO their home.
Mr.. Amoss says the drive was most interest
ing and instructive one. 1t was through some
of the most highly cultivated land in Pennssl-
vania The FARMS he observed, are generally
not more than so acres in size, and are in neater
condition than Maryland farms. The dwelling
houses are better and more comfortable. Farm
labor is scarce and commands higher wages
than in Maryland. AS a consequence, farmers
and their families do most of their own work
and do it better than we do.
He did not find the roads in Cecil county as
good as in. Hartford. Indeed, with the excep-
tion of the permanent stone roads, he considers
our Hartford dirt roads equal to any he passed
over during his drive of 800 miles. The crops
were about as good in Chester county as in
Hartford, but he saw no sod anywhere finer than
at home, nor did he see any region where ma
ture has done so much for the farmer as here in
Hartford.
From appearances he thinks farm srs in the
parts of Pennsylvania through which he travel
led are making money. The city OF West Ches-
ter is made up chiefly of retired and wealthy
farmers.
As an evidence of the industry Of the people,
Mr.. Amoss says that during the drive of IS
miles from Oxford to West Chester he did
not meet single pleasure vehicle until within
q mile of West Chester.
Mr.. Amoss obtained, during his travels, some
valuable hints on road improvement, which we
hope be will have opportunity of putting
into practice in Hartford

The withdrawal of the restrictions upon
the importation of American pork into Ger
many will make a greater demand at home
for our large corn crop in fattening hogs, be-
sides raising the price of pork. The short
crops of wheat and rye, in foreign countries,
will also, it is believed, make better market
abroad for our corn. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Rusk is hopeful of being able to con-
vince the German people, at least, of the val
ne of corn as food. The German army and
the German peasantry-the German people,
in fact as a whole, are large consumers ~
rye-bread, and Secretary Rusk believes corn
will be an acceptable substitute. Undoabt-
eddy it will if they can be taught how to
make Maryland and Virginia "pone," batter
bread" and corn mullins.

WINTERS RUN BRIDGE TO BE REBUILT
Shortly after the inspection, last spring, of the
bridges and trestles on the Baltimore and Lee
high Railroad, the company began TO repair all
structures which were declared to be unsound.
bridge, at Watervale, the company was about
to drive piles in the steam, as a foundation for
trestles to strengthen the bridge. Mr.. VIM. H.
Waters, owner of the mill near by, complained
to the court that this would obstruct the flow
of water and ipjure his property. An injunc-
tion was accordingly granted by Judge Walters
restraining the railroad company from placing
trestles across Mr.. Waters mill-dam.
The company then changed its plans and de-
termined to erect an entirely new bridge, and
placed timbers in the stream TO support the
work as it progressed.
Mr.. Waters thereupon petitioned the court
to compel the railroad company to show cause
why it should not be held guilty of contempt of
court in disregarding the injunction. The case
was heard before Judge Walters, on Monday
and Tuesday. The railroad company was ad
judged guilty of contempt of court and fined
81 and costs. Judge Walters, however, modifi-
ed the injunction, permitting the company to
erect their new bridge, using the necessary false
works in the stream, provided the distractions
are removed by December 1st, 1891.
An interesting fact was ELECTED during the
trial. Mr.. W. r. Crumpton, General superin-
tendent of the railroad, testified that the COM
pany does not intend to abandon that portion
of their road between Baldwin and Bel Air, even
if the Twining Valley extension should be
adopted. Mr.. Crumpton also said that the new
bridge over Winters Run will be made of heavy
tmbers and wide enough for broad-gauge
road.
Mr.. George Y. Maynadier and Hon. Herman
Stump argued the case for the complainant,
aud Messrs. 8. A. Williams and Geo. L. Van
Bibber for the defendant.
