This nice Lcuut.liil Talley, ' now desolated by
the ruthless band of war," nn the seene of many
interesting event in our early colonial history.
The first settlements west ot the liiuo ittdgewcre
roinmcnced uoont 17'in, by sixty (iermaii- who
most y eamo from the luud of William I'enn;
but a few wandered to the then far woiern wil
derness, from the mote ancient setth uicnt called
Cermunna, in t-pottsy Ivania county.
Tuo nettltrs were a hardy, industrious ra 'C,
and their Xeutonie orinin has civen character
to the people of the wboio valley to this day, en
tirely different from thai of any other portion of
the .Stale. Indeed, as a class, they more nearly
resemble the people of some portions of
l'ennsylvania in habits and customs; and
tin re is an absence of that intensely
(southern feeling fonnii among the degen
erate son of the old Koglish cavaliers, so credit
able to the Southron's heart at tho ex ene of his
bead. Hence wu litid that the secession horesy
ba not taken auch deep root here us elsewln re.
In thisconueetion I may statu that there are more
intense secessionist to be found among the slave
catchers iu the borders of th lrce Suited than
here.
Of all the town In this vnlley, T bclieva Win
chester claims the most historic honors. Here
are to be seen to-day the early footprint of
George Washington anil others, who either tonic
a distinguished part in colonial or revolutionary
times, or both.
Tortious (the bastions) of old Fort Loudon, laid
tittt by Colonel Ueorge Washington, and con
structed by bis regiment, are still be swu in
the northerly edge of thfi town. This fort was
constructed in 17'3(, to protect the inhabitants
against tho French and thoir Indian allies, par
ticularly the Shawnees. The well dug by A'a-h-ington's
regiment is in daily nse now by Union
soldiers. It is cut through solid rock to the depth
of lli'l feet, and has in it to-day about sixty feet of
Wuttr.
Winchester was the extreme frontier depot for
the troops operating against tho French and In
dians on the Allegheny and Ohio ; here Wash
ington's regiment roturned to recruit after the
action of Grtat Meadow, July 4, 1754, and here
again the troops were gathered afier Draddoek's
defeat. Immediately after the reduction of Fort
Duiiucsnc, Washington was elected to represent
this county (Frederick) in the House of Delegates.
In the graveyards of the town are to be found,
among others of more or less revolutionary ro
nown, the remuins of that "thunderbolt of war,"
Major-Oencral Daniel Morgan, Oeneral Daniel
Koherdeau, and Major l'eter Helphistine. Tlio
house in which Morgan died is still standing.
Lord Fairfax was also buried in this placo. The
Ktone over Morgan's grave ha been nun h dis

UIJDES THE LAKE.

I'.levrn Hundred Feet I utter tbe Lake.
The groat lake tunnel of Chicago takes rank
itU tbe most marvellous enterprises of this mar
velous ago. Tae city of Venice "beautiful
Venice" built upon seven small islands, has been
not inappropriately christened tho ''child of the
c," and often have writer figuratively asserted
that It "aro6ofrom the sea." Chicago arose from a
denso swump, and many there arc who can dis
cover a striking similarity in more than one
respect between the parent and its offering.
Thus, notwithstanding the fact that the authori
ties have rui.nd tbe grade several feet throughout
Dearly the entire city, we have our moist seasons
and wet spells. There is no lack of water, such
as it is i but for drinking purposes, it has well
been said that the few wells which have been
dug might as well have never been dug at all.
Water was found, to be sure, in great abundance;
but it quality was very unlike its quantity.
The city authoritios, resolutely grappling with
the didicultiea, set to work to obtain a supply of
water front Luke Michigan, that roroshortens the
city on tho cast in such a maaner as to give rise
to the suspicion that at some time one-half of it
had dropped off Into the bike and disappeared.
A huge iron pipe was run out into the lake to
distance of about half a mile, and mammoth
team-pump brought in the water and distri
buted it through underground pipe all over the
city. Hut this brought aaytbing but satisfactory
relief, tor it wa found that the water was so
shallow at the mouth of tbe lake pipe that the
lightest storm puddled it so as to render it unrlt
for ue. Kor was that all. Bboals of little fish,
usuully called minnows, infested the shallow
water at the mouth of the pipe, and not unfro
nnently managed it so a to pop out into our
glasses, pitchers, and tea kettles, sometimes
"alive aud kicking," but ofteucr in a state of pu
trefactionand that is how and why the great
lake tunnel was determined upon.
So many times have we dejenbed this tunnel
that we will now skip over it with the briefest
possible description. A shore shaft sunk to the
i..i,iii of acvnntv.tive feet Is tbe starting point.
At the bottom of this commences tho tunnel, a
. circular bore, under the lake, of nearly seven feet

could will be imagined.
A heavy bed of blue clay, streaked here and
there with gravel and sand, with an occasional
boulder, whose surface inditites glacier action,
iindu stray vein or two of oil stone, are all that
have as yet been discovered. Curiosity hunters
may yet bo gratified with petrilied Indian w.ir
riois, tieasnro-laden wrecks, or tho ruins of

reali. ed, may we not hope that tho more titigib e
