ricksburg has been honored with visit by
bridal party, consisting of a Yankee wo-
man Of fair appearance and her husband,
an unauthorized negro, formerly he pro-

the want of means or labor, he has had
TO surrender to DR.. John Il. Baylor the
farm leased from him, known as New
market. 1t is to be hoped that his enter
prise will meet with a more favorable re-

4 report prevailed some time since that
the smallpox was raging at Port Royal, on
the Rappahannock, about twenty two miles
below this place. But it turns out that
there was only one case (aboy), and he is
now convalescent.

Last Sunday, at an all-day meeting
held at the Rev. Mr.. Chancellor's Baptist
church, near bloody Charlottesville, a
collection in aid of the County Memorial
Association was taken w, and handsome
sum realized. If such is the case in q
section so utterly impoverished by the
iron heel of war, what ought not those to
do towards giving our fallen brothers q
decent burial who have still competency
if not wealth, left them.
The Rev. Mr.. Williams, native OF
Richmond, is about to resign the charge OF
the Baptist church at this place, in order
to attend the Theological Seminary.
While here he has made many friends in
and out of his church, and will carry
with him wherever he goes the best
wishes for his success.
The best judge of -four in the place,

Catholic Church at this place, Of which the
late Father Donnelon was pastor.
The weather is very pleasant.
