except appearance and actions. HI
is great favorite in Leonardtown,
especially among che young folks,
and still turns out to dance now
and then. and shakes foot with tbs
best Of them.
Leonardtown used to be a great
place for hunters and fishermen, AM
there were always many visitors
here in the autumn, after the othel

to enjoy the fishing. Likewise il

and Baltimore came down in n,
small numbers to shoot ducks
Lately both ducks and fish have beer
scarce, but nevertheless there ar,
always some visitors here in wintel

months. There is no way of arriv
ing at Leonardtown except in th'
middle Of the night, but thanks /,

leave at comfortable hour IN thl
afternoon. There is always mot
ley array Of strapping negroes ans
and sunbnrnt countrynlen at Iii,
wharf, for Leonardtown is quite !

is good-nasured, and not even tn
steamboat people seem to be In
