H. Ltnville. Preei- dent of tbe Keystoue Bridge Company, and President of the new Southern Maryland Railroad, has a fiue residence on the south side of tbe road. So also has Mr. Cal- lecder I.

Leiper, of the firm of Leiper Lewis, who own tbe stone quarries near Swartbmore, of the stone of which nearly all the new houses iu t'io neighborhood are built. An interesting relic of other days is tbe old cottage on the college crounds, which was tbe birthplace and for many years the home of the painter, Benjamin West. It is in the center of a small orchard, and has appearance of age. Real estate at Swartbmore ranges in value from $500 to $1000 per of Swarthniore Charles Ogden has built two handsome residences, and Henry Ogden has a fine residence ou the Delaware County turnpike. Wallingford is distinguished for ita many fine residences.

Directly opposite the ata- tiou, on the north side, is tbe residence of Horace Howard Furuess, Esq. The mansion is very large aud handsome. Mr. Furnesa' property embraces some 65 acres, and tains another residence besides that named. Three seres were recently purchased by Mr.

Furuess at the rate of a thousand dollars per acre. 8. D. Hibbert baa a handsome house with a new stable at Wallingford. Among the other fine properties or new residences here are those of D.

Lewis, George C. Howard, J. Edward Farnum. er-President of the West Chester road, Isaac L. Miller aud Kershaw own properties varying in size, lying at or near Wallingford.

Many of thesj properties front on the old Providence road, which runs from Chester due north to This road was laid out by Wm. Perm's Commissioners, in 1682, and many old line marks are still standing. Nearly all of tbe properties named are undergoing imtirovemeuts of some kind or other, and, with the growth of this popular station, proportionately increase in value. From VVallingfordto Manchester, and indeed to Media, are many desirable building lots, with high and healthy grounds, large waier power from Ridley creek, and many other local advantages. Prices hereabouts range from $400 to $800 per acre.

One of the largest landowners near Media is Sam'l Bancroft, proprietor of the Todmprden Mills. Several large sales of available building lots have recently been made in and about Media for good prices. Along the line of the road, even as far as West Chester, tbe inarch of improvement is marked at times, but the improvement i'i recent yeare has been between West Thiiadelpbia and Media. 0 ciod improvements noticed by him: ueai estate all along the road is steadily growing in valae. Buildings in course of erection or structmes bearing evident marks of newness are to be seen on both sides of the road, from Philadelphia almost to iiledia.

Many new and baudsoine pri- vats residences are springing up along the line of the capacious barns and cattle sheds just finished or with tbe builders at work upon them are to be seen, and ntt a few extensive mills are being erected or having large additions made. The land even quite remote from ibe city, brings a very high figure. Not only has each station some interesting improvement to show, but between the regular stopping places tbe progress is almost as distinctly marked. Abbottsford, the first stopping place, shows a cluster of small houses in tbe vicinity of tbe station, the growth of recent years. Angora has been still more progressive.

Opposite the railroad station is tbe Church Home for children. Here are also George Callahan's Angora Mills, of which a new section has just been built. The Messrs. Callaban have erected here tbree handsome new residences. Quite a town has sprjng up in Angora in late years.

Tbe next station on the route is Fernwood. Tbe large new building on the north side of the track showing so conspicuously from the railroad is the Fernwood summer boarders, which is owned, it is said, by the Masonic Order. Building lots are for sale at and near Feruwood, aud bring prices ranging from five to seven thousand dollars per acre. Lsnsdowne, or the old Dai by Road Station, is about three-quarters of a mile below Fernwood. It has undergone many and striking improvements iu the last five or six years.

The railroad house at the station has been enlarged and improved, aud the grounds more neatly arranged. Fine sutn iner residences have been recently built here, and the surrounding acres much beautified. Joel J. Baily, the Philadelphia merchant, has a fine summer residence at Lsns- dowue, and near by is tbe residence of Mr. Samuel Harlan, of the sb pbuildine firm cf Harlan Hollingsworth.

Harry Peale, of the firm of Thomas A. Blddle Co, slock brokers, and Rene Gnillou own properties at Lansdowue. Ten acres of the Dunk property, near by, have just been purchased by a Philadelphia gentleman, for a thousand dollars an acre, most probably for immediate building purposes. Real estate near Lansdowne brings from one to two thousand dollars per acre. Kelleyville is a small station further west.

There are several fine residences near by, and a number of valuable business properties, principally woolleu mills. A new shoddy mill, the property of Sellers Hoffman, is in course of erection. Clifton proper has been increased by the addition of a number of houses, one or two churches have been built, and tbe place wears a thriving, prosperous look. H-rn are the Glen wood 'Mills, owned by Samuel C. Lewis Sons; the Clifton Mills by Randolph Jenks, and tbe Union Mills, by Thomas Kent.

Among the recent sales of property at Clifton were about twenty acres of land belonging Oborne Lewis' ftsiate, to Wm Lougstretb, of Philadelphia, for about $10,000. Few building improvements or land sales have been made at Oak Lane recently. Here is situated Dr. Giveu's inebriate Asylum. Property is in demand at Spring Hill.

J. Howard, has just purchased a farm of fifty acras on the north side, near the station. Mr. James D. Rhodes occupies a fine residence on the hill.

Many old time mansions and land marks are to ba seen here abouts. Morton station is conspicuous, by reason of a handsome pressed brick railroad bouse, ooe of the neatest along the road. Several BIKTHDAY afternoon about tlree o'clock, tbe passer-by might have noticed an unusual stir at the house of Mr. Jas. Fryer, on East Fourth street, between Concord avenue aud Penn, and a curious inquirer would have been informed that it was the fifth anniversary of tbe birth of little Miss Mattie, whose young friends had assembled iu honor of the occasion.

The company composed of fourteen diminutive Jadies, and two young men, who bad not yet reached the dignity of "boys clothes." Daring the afternoon tbe children ecjoyed themselves in their own peculiar style, without the assistance of t'aeir elders, and at sapper they were well served by Mrs. Fryer, whose hospitality is proverbial. Mrs. Mackey and Mrs. Stephen Armour assisted in the ceremonies of the residence and barn.

Tbe eclipse was from the Southwest to the northeast.

It Is a sight not oflen seen, and those of our citizens who delight in vie wing peculiar positions of the heavenly bodies can so to-inorrow morning between 3 o'clock and daylight.

LAST MEETING OF THE BAXTKI; DEMOCRATIC Baxter Democratic Club, which was organized some five years ago, and which during tbe early years of its existence was a power in the Democratic party of Delaware cousty, had its affairs finally wound up at a meeting held last evening.

Tbe treasurer's books showed sufficient funds to settle all claims against the club, and tbat official was directed to square up all accounts. The dissolution was due to a lack of interest shown iu tbe club, which was owing to the absence of the many active young Democrats, who are Connected with tbe new numerous social organizations of our city.

Unfortunately for her she sustained a compound fracture of tbe leg.

She had been up most of tbe night before nursing a sick woman, and that is why she was iu bed at that time in tbe morning. Owing to her age, the broken member will be more annoying than to a younger person. A physician was called, and reduced the fracture. THE LATE MR. PEARSON'S The funeral of the late Robert B.
