Strafford, with its pretty name and tastefully-built colonial cottages, marks the spot where in years gone by travelers to and from Philadelphia were entertained and rested over night in its wayside inn and tavern.

Like other towns along the historic Lancaster turnpike, it holds sacred the many old landmark houses scattered here and there which bear testimony to their old age, and are so closely allied with the history of the State. The advance of time and invention has created a marvelous change, and now, almost on the same ground, stands a magnificent modern inn, with its costly furnishings, large halls, and even an orchestra day and evening during its season.

Recognizing the advantages of the site, the pure air and conveniences, the founders of two homes for the sick have adopted Devon for the execution of their purpose.

DEVON INN, - Mr G. J. Waters. Three hundred yards from station. Accommodations for two hundred and fifty guests. Rates, $17 to $60 per week. May 15th to October 15th.

Delightfully situated on an eminence, and with other exceptional advantages, the rapid development and well-earned popularity of Berwyn are the natural results of what location backed with enterprise can accomplish. The place advances its just claim for continuance of popular favor, and offers in its pretty cottages, fine building sites, healthfulness, and the best facilities, highly attractive inducements to those contemplating temporary or permanent place with the best of city conveniences.

2-day excursion rate, 93 cents. Family tickets, $18.80; quarterly, $22.30; monthly, $8.25; school, $5.50.

As yet Daylesford is but little developed; but judging from the growth of other stations with even less advantages, it is safe to predict a bright future for what is really a very desirable and exceedingly pretty stretch of country.

Paoli is a sort of terminus for local trains between here and the city, as further west the service is not so frequent, though it is equal to the demand. Up to this point the scenery is comparatively tame, owing in some extent to excessive cultivation. Here the country bursts forth in all its original grandeur, increasing with each stride. The beautiful Chester Valley can be seen from the station, which reaches the elevation of nearly six hundred feet above tidewater. The settlement boasts of two churches, a school, and a town hall.

PAOLI INN. - Miss Jardines. Accommodations for seventy-five guests.

THE EVERGREEN. - Mrs. J. H. Rennard. Accommodations for thirty-five persons.

2-day excursion rate, $1.05. Family tickets, $21.10; quarterly, $24.30; monthly, $9; school, $6.

A few steps from the station here, and a grand view of the Chester Valley, which runs nearer the railroad as it extends westwards, is disclosed, but, apart from the highly esteemed proximity of this piece of perfect farm land, the place presents its own charms.

BOARDING-HOUSE. - Mrs. Jno. Hughes. Accommodations for twenty-five guests. Rates, $6 to $10 per week. Immediately opposite station.

In the neighborhood of what is now a quiet, pretty place is the historic Paoli battle-ground. It was here an entire company of Washington's soldiers, with the exception of a drummer boy, who escaped by hiding in a tree, was massacred by the British.
