The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
the Civil War, l88l-l865.

1t was the first and most desirable point
of vantage coveted by both the Federal aud
Confederate armies. In May, 1861, the fouI
Federal advance columns concentrated Al
Parkersburg, Wheeling and Harper's Ferry
W, Va, and at Washington. To retain the
advantage, the Federal government estab-
lished block houses along the railroad from
the Monocacy TO the Ohio river, besides forts
at Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumberland,
Piedmont and New Creek (Keyser) The
B. & o. was the base of operations Tor the
Federal army for nearly four years and from
which the government could not take al
vance line earlier than November, 1864
The b. & o. was the means of communica
ton between the West and the Army Of the
Potomac, and was consequently In con-
tinual state of siege. Harper's Ferry, the
key TO the Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the tanatical attempt OF John
Brown, In detying the laws and customs OF
his country, was captured or recaptured
eight times In three years. The Govern
ment Arsenal aud armories which were
located there, were destroyed by the gov
eminent to prevent their capture. One
hundred and seventy nine battles OF greater
or less Importance were fought on or ada.
cent to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
not taking into consideration the innumera
BILE skirmishes.

Some Hints as to Summer Styles.

Many plated skirts are worn in large
diversity of materials ranging from null to
broadcloth.
Two lovely old style fashions happily re-
vived, and reminders of the LOUIS periods Of
dress, are the fchu and the sash.
The bishop-shaped sleeve still holds its
own but Is much increased in size, to follow
the present requirements Of fashion.
The preference for one tone color Is in
creasing, and the combination of several
different colors on one costume is not often
seen.
The old fashion of piping and cording
edges of ruffles, founces and other trim
mings has been revived, and most success
fully.
One really new note in the summer gowns
is the return to favor again of the full gath
cred ruftle put on with a small beading fol
skirt garniture.
Taffeta still seems to hold first place
and nothing can quite ill its many uses, not
only as dress material but also as trim
ming for many other materials. Mrs. Raj
ston, in the May LADIES' Home Journal.

the following for publication

two to twelve miles to receive their letters
aud papers TO give TO the farmers and rural
residents, 10 some measure, the same mail
service now enjoyed by those living in cities
having letter carriers, with the exception
that the former will have but one mail each
day. and instead OF the rural carrier taking
mail TO the houses, he will deposit 1t into
mail boxes that rural residents will have 10
erect Tor that purpose.
These boxes cost from one to three dollars
each and must be one OF fourteen different
kinds that have been selected by the Post
master General as complying with the re
ouirement OF the service.
Mail boxes under this system will be en-
titled to the protection Of the United States
statutes which provide severe penalties for
wIlful or malicious injury to, or Interior
ence with, the contents Of any receptacles
for the United States mails established by
authority of the Postmaster General.
Star route carriers and fourth class post
offices situated off Of railroad will be dis
continued.
Rural carriers will have routes OF about
twenty TO twenty five miles, so arranged
that they will not be required TO retrace oil
travel over the same road twice the same
day, and will be required to take with them
on their trips, for the accommodation Oh incl;
patrons, a sufficient supply of stamps, stamp
ed envelopes, postal cards, and newspaper
Wrappers; TO cancel stamps, to take up maj
matter deposited 10 mail boxes Tor dispatch
10 register letters and packages, and To &C
cept money for money orders.
They will be required 10 deliver mall V
the houses standing Oack from the mali
road in case Of registered mall, special De
livery and pension letters.
The Rockville postmaster has received IN
structions TO proceed with the Inauguration
of the system from this office. This Will b
done by mapping out the different route
and securing signatures OF patrons Tor tn
same TO petitions. !,
Rural Free Delivery service Is now j
vogue in Damascus and Browningsville, Il
this county, and throughout Frederick an

ern Shore counties Of this State.
