OLD BUCK HORN TAVERN REBUILT Famous Hostelry of Revolu tionary Days Scene of Bril liant Gatherings Dillsburg, Pa., Oct. 16.—The once famous and historic Buck Horn tav ern, In recent years used as a. dwell lnghouse on the J. L. McCreary farm, and which was destroyed by fire several months ago, has been re built and is again ready for occu pancy, The house was of stone con struction, and as only the woodwork was destroyed, Mr, McCreary, anx ious to retain as much of Its un broken history as possible, has had much of the stone Incorporated In the new building, with the result that the old roadhouse of the his toric Welsh and Robinson trail, over which many notables of former days traveled betwene the nation's capital and Fort Carlisle, back in the pioneer days, with its new trimmings, has again been given a new lease of life. Tlie building, which was destroy ed during: the past summer, was orected in 1789, one hundred and twenty-eight years ago'. It was then a roadhouse on the trail as stated above, over which was carried the mail from Washington to Fort Car lisle, which at that time was one of the outposts of civilization. Over the entrance, in order to denote its name, was nailed two massive buck horns. High government officials, as well as military officers, including President George Washington, passed through this door and were quartered beneath its roof. Dancing was a favorite pastime in those days, and tradition has it that three floors were worn out and had to be re placed as a result of the large num ber of dances held there. Here the stately dames of yore and their men folk with their powdered wigs and knickerbockers stepped and bowed out their favorite minuets. By no means is the hundred-year old sycamore tree that stands near the house to be overlooked, either. This is not only prized because of its age, but because of its freakish origin. AVhcn the old well was dug a century ago two men were em ployed to carry the earth away in a •bucket as it was drawn from the shaft. This was hung over a heavy stick with a man at each end. When the well was completed one of the men thrust the stick into the ground where it later took root, sprouted leaves and twigs, and grew to be the big tree that stands there to-day.
