UNION BRIDGE
Is a thriving and important town on the W. M. R. R., 12 miles from West- minster and 45 from Baltimore. Climate and health good. It has a large trade in grain, lumber and coal. The town was originally known by the name of "Buttersburg," derived from the quantity and quality of butter taken in exchange for merchandise, by one of the early merchants of the place. It was made a post village in 1810, and the present name given to it. It is to this town that the proud honor belongs of having given the first conception of the reaping machine to America. Jacob B. Thomas, a resident of the place, gave birth to this conception, and so far completed his plans as to put s reaping machine with automatic attachment, in the harvest of 1811. This machine was pushed by men, and like many of the earlier productiona of inventors, was a partial failure. It did, however, cut and gather grain, but its crudeness subjected the inventor to ridicule, and his sensitive spirit could not cope with this and the incredulity of his neighbors; he abandoned his work and left the glory to be gathered by his cousin, Obed Hussey, who, taking up the Union Bridge model, perfected it into an operative machine, and thus became known to fame as the pioneer of reaping machines. Capt. Daniel Rinehart, a brother of the sculptor and producer of Clytie, lives but a short distance aouth; it was upon a marble quarry, upon his elegant farm, that the young Rinehart first attempted to give life to the cold marble. There is a charming succession of meadowa, fields and hills surrounding the town, and all fat with richness; and from a bill one mile west of Union Bridge, the eye rests upon a scene beyond description. Off to the north-west, in towering grandeur, are the Catoctin Mountains, which serve as a background to the ever varying hill, dale, meadow and wildwood. To the south, verdant fielda rolling, rising and receding, hide behind nestling forests, clothed in the drapery of autumn's richest foliage. It is here that the artist can find many views superior to the beautiful, natural scenery, already upon canvas, in Corcoran'a art gallery ; it is here that the Maryland farmer is & millionaire, his lime fields are gold fields; here substantial houses, costly barns, neat, enduring fences-all tell that prosperity is at home. The soil is of limestone and old red sandstone, and varies in price from $50 to $150 per acre, and pro- duces 15 to 40 bus. wheat, 30 to 60 oats, 40 to 90 corn, and 1} to 3 tons hay. There is a flourishing cabinet furniture manufactory here; one high, one public and a private school, under the management of the Friends. The town ia incorporated and is governed by a mayor and board of councilmen. Population 600. Moses Shaw, Postmaster.
