A RELIc.-ln excavstlng a cellar on

Of the town, last Saturday, the remains oil
a man were found, who was evidently an
officer of some rank. 1t appeared from
the buttons which were found with the
remains, a silver spur, and some other ar
ticles, that he had been inferred in his
regimentals, but what is a little singular
he was laid North and South, and not
East and West as is the custom OF the
present day. There were also with the
remains IA number OF musket balls OF lead

all of which were winners-one OF them trained Ia
nv stable, Martha Beckerton, winner OF tbree colts

Whites favorite 6lly by Goliah, for $500. and re-
ceived forfeit Of $3.50. A few days after, she ran a
four mile race at Warrenton Springs, against Mr..
Kendsll's Master Henry and Mr.. Lufborough's
mare-.he won the first heat, lost the second and
third by not more than three feet, running twelve
miles in the mud, carrying two pounds over weight,
and badly rode. The next week she ran over the
Jetferson County Course, two mile heats in very
bad order, and was beaten by Molinera, Cumming

THOMAS BOSWELL.
Hanover County, Va, Feb. 1889.
We do certify, in the spring of 1882, at Major
Thomas Doswell's, we saw a trial OF two miles and
then a single mile, with Bayard and Pamunky; the
former was considered a ~frst-rate two mile horse;
Pamunky beat Bayard the two miles, running in
the rear Ia miles; in half an hour after, they ran a
mile, and Pamunky beat Bayard a few feet. We
believed Pamunky to be a better horse at that time
than Bayard. The two miles were run IN 3m. SIS,
and the mile in I'm. SIS. We believe Pamunky
was injured in that trial, and in a few weeks after
broke down.
