WESTON, w. VA, July 15.-Betaking |
ourselves from the pleasant surround
iDgs of the city of Baltimore, to gain |
breath or two Of fresh air, we wan
dered across the green pastures around
Weston, where bloom the sweetest fOw-
ers We know OF, from fragrant bud 70
full blown blossom. Here the scent
OF the clOvers mlugle with that
Of the honeysuckle, while beauty
enhances the scene, where the
crimson OF the sumaC contrasts strange
lY with the glistening green OF the
laurel. Uuder the toX-grape the viOlets
and daiSeS creep, struggling for the
rays Of the sun that are almost OBJ
Scured by the green tinted shades NJ
the ScuyperuOng aud SOmbre shadows
of the hsmloCk. Everything is 6eauti-
fUi; all nature vieS 10 charm the eye
and sOOtle the finer ianCies OF thought
that come 20 the mind as the physical
sense is lulled intoa complete repOse
Bus We are struck with thoughts
other than those OF beauty as we wan
DER 10 this horizon. Around Weston is
quite stock country. Here car loads
Of cattle are seat abroad; many sheep,
and numbers OF swine are shipped, aud
al last, the thoroughbred horse and
standard tr0tter mas his home 10 this
Pegion, so admirably suited for his ca
reer. Whatever Is of benefit 10 the
country al large must deserve more
than passing notice, and the efforts OF
Judge w. e.. Bennett, DR.. Holt and
others To improve the general breed
and beauty OF the horse places
such men more or less In tue category
OF public benefaCtOrS. To Us, who have
wandered around Polo Altos quarters
ia California, Nancy HANKS la Ken
lucky, and Maud s. In New York, 10
was most interesting 10 visit "River-
side" near Weston, where 1--we the royal
sc.ons Of the noble stock owned by Judge
w. q. Bennett, a vel. known gentleman
iu this State as "a jurist, man OF posi-
ton, aud scholar.
Wandering through his stables at
Riverside, some Two miles north or
Weston, one imagines himself az G,ou-
cester Fleetwood or some other prom
inent stables Here 1--we some royalty
bred horses, that on account OF pedi-
gree aud speed, deserve special notice.
