Law Office and Land AgencE.

l. will be seen by an advertisement in
to-davs issue that our friend, Major Hen
ry Kyd Douglas OF this Town, has cast
his LOT with the good people of Winches-
Ter, Va, for the purpose Of practicing
Law and establishing AN office for the
purchase and sale of Real Estate. His
business capacities will no doubt insure
him large share of patronage, if prompt
ness, correctness and reliability in a bus.
lress point of view, will render him mer-
i,orisus. Especially do we recommend
him 10 all persons wishing to purchase
or sell Real Estate, as his position in the
confederate army, during the war, as Aid
de, Camp and Inspector General on the
staff of Stonewal Jackson, and alter his
death as Assistant Adjurant General on
the stats OF Generals Edward Johnson
Pegram, Gordon, and Early, has thrown
him in contact with the people, and es
peciaIly the land owners throug houI the
Valley Of the Shenandoah, and which nc
doubt renders him better known than any
other land agent IN the Valley, and which
will be the means Of procuring for him
the selling of many farms which The own
ers are not able to repair and will be
compelled TO dispose Of. He will doubt
less be called upon by many persons
who are coming 10 Virginia, from all
parts OF the country, in quest of land
while his acquaintance with many prom
inent business firms throughout the coun.
trv will insure the farmers the most ad
vantageous market for their lands.

stationed al this point 10 look after the
freedmen's affairs.
We learn from an officer direct from
Harper's Ferry, that the Provost Marshal
al that place reports that within the past
week the men of his command IA portion
of the 1884 New York. stationed at San
