From Harper's Ferry.


IF it SHOWS in March, in June you'll
parch, /" is an old saying.
Never in the memory of our people has
the spring been so backward. The fruit
and forest trees show no sign of life as
yet, and little or no gardening has been
done. A search among the dead leaves
on Maryland heights and John Brown
Fort hill reveals the Arbutus buds stealing
out of their sturdy green calyp and grow
ing family pink This lovely flower is
named from the Mayfower, it being the
first flower the pilgrim mother espied in
that bleak land where they made their
home. Miss Jennie Tierney has saucer
cactus, which has bloomed all winter,
with seventy blooms. Our hotels and
cottages, large and small, will soon be
spick and span for the usual rush of
summer boarders.
Miss Anna Ransom has gone to Boston,
Mass, to make her future home. She
will be very much missed in the Episco-
pal church.
The editor of the Sentinel has designed
an incubator, and is ahead of all the
farmers wives with spring chickens.
