1 BaltimOrean's View of ThurmOnt. t..


The impression left on the summer visitor
to Thurmont, if he Is in his right mind, must
be of the pleasan,est description.
The town is plcturesqueness itself, sur
rounded as it is by the Blue Ridge mount
aims on one side, and fine undulating coun-
try on the other; lovers of the beautiful could
hardly ask for more Interesting scenery. The
drives and country walks are very good, and
various points OF interest can always be selec-
ted as the object of the days excursion, such
as the numerous adjacent villages. the iron
furnace, the latter being the place where the
ore taken from the mountain side IS smcltcd,
and then sent away in rough blocks.
The observatory tower is also a fayorite
walk and well repays the effort of climbing
up the rather rocky way: the view from the
top extends for miles farther afeld than are
the drives to Frederick and Gettysburg.
The inhabitants of this little Arcadia seem
hospitality and kindness combined to the
city tired guest. There are goodly number
of boarding houses which all seem to fulfill
the mission of affordng change and rest to
the stranger. The drinking water must not
be forgotten, after the polluted mixture the
guests are accustomed to at home, or at the
seashore resorts; it is simply superb: and then
last but not least, there are, as a writer of
some ability has already mentioned in the
Baltimore papers, no mosquitoes, and only
]
the city barber, in this happy land.
What can the weary Baltimorean--sun
dried and caked with dust-want more than
this attractive placer 1t is only two hours
journey from the city and you land to greet
Il different coun try and atmosphere in every
respect 1t is to be hoped that next summer
this delightful town will be filled with guests.

some way of rightingit.
