PERRYVILLE
Ia on the P. W. & B. R. R., 37 miles from Baltimore, and is beautifully situated on the east bank of the Susquehanna river, near its mouth. The railroad here crosses the river over a bridge, consisting of thirteen iron spans, and is the longest and finest piece of railroad bridge architecture in the world. An important industry is duck shooting ; large numbers are shot, and shipped to Baltimore and Philadelphia markets. Adjoining the station are beautiful flower gardens, and a splendid park has been laid out by the railroad com- pany. The scenery is truly grand and romantic. The farms are well culti- vated, and no liquor sold. The ice houses of Messrs. Cochran & Co. and W. H. Oler, large Baltimore ice dealers, are located on the river bank, and near the depot. These firms give employment to a number of people during the season, and are an important element of the business of the place. Land is good, the average price $100 per acre; produces 25 bus. wheat, 50 corn, 50 oats and 2 tons hav. M. E. and Presbyterian churches; one public school. Population 250. W. H. Cole, Postmaster.
