Washngton's Headquarters in 1777-7S.
the inscription briefly narrating the
facts that make the old building note
worthy.
Washington had his headquarters
there from August 10 to August %,
1777, while his Il, 900 troops were en-
camped along the nearby Neshaminy
creek. The commander-in-chief had
moved the army from New York into
Pennsylvania to protect Philadelphia
from the threatened invasion of the
British, and a halt was made at the
Neshaminy to ascertain the enemy's
plans. Thus was begun the campaign
that was to lead to the defeats at
Brandywine and Germantown, and the
terrible winter at Valley Forge.
This headquarters building on the
Neshaminy held so conspicuous a
place in Lafayette's memory that in
1t. This is still in the possession of
his descendants, and was exhibited at
: the Chicago worlds fair in 1898.
Another of Washington's aides-de-
camp who was with him at that time,
and who was destined to attain dis
tinction in the republic which he
; helped to establish, was Alexander
Hamilton, then but 20 years old
Much important correspondence
from Washington's pen was dated at
this camp, which was variously called
Neshaminy's Bridge, Neshaminy
: Camp or simply Cross Roads, that be-
ling the point where the road to Bris-
toll crossed the Old York road
A short disetance from the head
quarters is the Neshaminy Presbyteri-
an church. The church that stood
there at the time of the encampment
was used as a hospital, and court-mar-
<tials were also held in it, Several 9TH
-er old buildings near by were the
Headquarters of division and brigade
commanders.
Though picturesquely situated with
the Neshaminy on one side and the
undulating hills on the other, the head
quarters is so far from railroad and
trolley lines that comparatively few
persons visit it, though occasionally
historical and patriotic societies make
1T the destination of pilgrimages The
nearest railroad station is Ivyland, on
: the New Hope branch of the Reading
railway, some six miles from Willow
Grove

Uses of Adder Fat

In picturesque England of the past the adler
hunter piled his trade in woods and forests
The last of the adder hunters died few years
since. Mr. C. j. Cornish, in his book on the New
forest, has given Interesting picture of this
worthy, who was known sBrusher-" He was
slung all with bags of sacking, his pockets
were stuffed with tins and boxes, and from his
chest hung pair of long steel forceps his hand
he carried a light stick with a ferrule, in which
when he reused the snake, he put short forked
piece of hazel wood, and, darting it forward with
unerring aim, pinned the adder to the ground
"Brusher' derived considerable revenue from
the sale of ladders fat which regarded by the
inhabitants of the New forest a veritable phar-
macopoeia. 1t believed to be a remedy for the
bite of the snake and according to sBrusher" him
self-his real name, by the way Mills
.sprains. black eyes, poisoning with brass bites b.
and horses. rheumatic joints and sore feet in
men and dogs" could all be cured by the apoIica
ton of this unfailing unguent.
