You will linger at the Summer house on its edge. THE land, 19 acres of it, is bounded by the Richmond Pike, the old Gunston Hall road and by Pohick Creek. The valley part is grown with arbutus, mountain laurel and varied timber, some of the last very stately, some very odd. Chinquapins, pernmmanl, nut trees and an old orchard are on the higher land, and its outlook over the wooded country is much worth while. Birds and small game seem to like it there. - THE house will be open this afternoon and Sunday, and you are cordially invited to make it a visit. The favorite route is by the Mt.
