a  grand  and  imposing  panoiamic  view  of  the  landscape  of  the  Schuylkill  Valley,  was  most  in-

generosity,  every  available  moment  being  devoted  to  the  pleasure  of  guests  with  an  untiring 
assiduity  and  courtesy  long  to  be  remembered.  The  fi  llowing  officers  were  elected  for  the
