There were Baptist and Methodist Churches in
all the counties, Lutheran in all but Warren
Presbyterian in all but Page, Episcopal in all but
Rockingham, Shenandoah and Page The Men
monte Churches were in Augusta and Rocking
ham, the Tunker or German Baptist in Augusta,
Rockingham, Shenandoah and Page, the Christian
in Shenandoah and Page the Friends in Shenan-
doah and Frederick, the German Reformed in all
but Shenandoah, Warren and Clarke, the Catho-
lie were in Augusta, Frederick, jefferson and
Berkeley.
The upper and lower portions of the Valley
were settled largely by Scotch-Irish and Eng
lish people, and there are found the Presbyterian
and Episcopal Churches, while the central por-
ton of the Valley settled as it was by Germans,
contains most of the Mennonite, Tunker and Lu-
| theran Churches. The Baptists are most numer-
GUS in the lower Valley the Catholic Churches
are in Harper's Ferry, Martinsburg Winchester
and Staunton, towns upon Railroads, and the
Methodists are about equally distributed through
out the whole Valley.
These statistics could be extended through tn,
whole range of production, with alike satisfacto
ry results, and we may appeal, without fear o
challenge, to the census Of the United States fo
1860, to verify the following assertion, viz Tha
there IS no portion Of the country aoith the sam

The following article containing interesting
statistics of the Shenandoah Valley, we copy from
the "ValIey of Virginia Real Estate Register" :"
published by the Real Estate Agents. Messrs
Echols, Bell, Catlett & Co.:
The Shenandoah Valley, as Shown by the
Census of 1860
The Valley of the Shenandoah, in Virginia,
which is the centre of our operations as Real Es-
tate Agents. is about 40 miles long and 25 wide,
embracing the s counties of Augusta, Rocking
ham, Shenandoah, Page, Warren, Frederick,
Clarke, Jefferson and Berkeley. The popula-
ton of this Valley in $780, was 1885, of which
1O3, ,356 were whites and rs, 500 were blacks. The
area embraced IN Jaamas (which was by no means
all the seetion), was 2s49 square miles, or 1,00l-
96l acres of improved land, and 720,860 acres of
unimproved, or farm woodland. The cash value
of these farms was $45 9S2, ,521. or an average of
$26 SO per acre. The cash value of the farming
implements and machinery in use was 81, ,211, OPS
The live stock embraced 36, 656 horses 627 asses
and mules, 26, 726 milch COWS, 972 working oxen,
300 other cattle, 70009 sheep 145 662 swine or
1886, ,45O head of live stock
Of Wheat, Rye, Corn and Oats, it produced
1851 bushels, or more than 4s bushels to each
inhabltant, constituting l197th of the entire crop
of the whole United States and Territories, OF
these four great cereals.
The wheat crop of this Valley was 2,259, 1896
bushels, more than 10th of the crop of Va.
which was the 5th wheat producing State in the
Union, and 1-80th of the whole crop of the Uni
ted States and Territories; it was 176 1893 bush
| els more than the whole crop of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont Massachusetts Connecti-
| cut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Kansas, Florida
| Louis ana and the District of Columbia, and ex
ceeded the crop of either of 18 States that coulo
be named. The average of the crop of the Val
| ley was 17.3 bushels to each inhabitant, while
that of the New England States was ia quarts
of the Middle States q bushels; of the Western
States 10 bushels; and of the whole United State
| 81 bushels.
| There are no statistics at hand to show the av
erage production per acre, but it is fair to pre-
| sumo that it bears nearly the same proportion t.
| other regions that the gross product does. 0
this wheat, too, we may say what can be said 0
no other in the United States that for a series Q
years the -four made from it has commanded, il
the markets of Brazil, $500 more barrel tha
that made in, any other portion of the Union, nc
even excepting Baltimore; this gave Richmond
before the war, almost monopoly of the Cofe
trade Of Brazil, which was worth to the Unite
States in 1856 over sixteen millions OF dollar:
and it must again become the centre of that trad
for the great Northwest, when the projected Vii
ginia railroads are completed and, for climat
reasons which cannot be materially changed

For the Spectator


IT, in my wanderings through this vale
Of tickle girls and tears,
I'd chance to meet a maiden stale,
Press'd down by cares and years.
Had she but truth deep in her heart,
Or resting on her tongue,
I'd take her as my gentler part,
And think her fair and young,
4 nara avs, such an one,
For girls are taught deceit;
With mother Eve their task begun
With age it is complete.
Their smiles are false-their tears are cheats
They're counterfeit all over;
They keep on hand all kinds of sweets
To suit each slavish lover
Confding man, lured to the snare,
Like the ungarded fly,
Basks joyously within the glare
Of woman's witching eyel
Until, at last he meets his fate,
The poor, de1uded thing
And ascertains. when tbs too late,
That he has nary soisg

W.. J.
Little DICKIE."
O! must he die, my Father,
Must he be torn from me?
My cherished little darling
Why, why this grief for me?
This trial, can bear it?
To know that rome can save,
That skill, nor love can rescue,
Ny darling from the grave.
Be calm, my throbbing heart-strings,
There is a heavenly power,
Can nerve thee for the struggle,
Can strengthen in this hour.
Then soothe the little sufFrer
And lift his thoughts to heaven.
Gen in this bitter conflict
Some comfort will be given.
I know my blessed Savior,
Had little children brought,
That He might give His blessing
And said, forbid them not"
Then OF my dearest Jesus,
My little darling claim,
And on Thy sacred bosom,
Inscribe his precious name.
How sweet his dying whispers,
Soft breathed into my ear;
AS if to soothe my anguish,
And check the falling tear;
"You must not miss me, mother,
/ shall an angel be,
For am going to Heaven
To spend eternity"
"When I am gone, dear mother,
0, lay me down to rest,
Just in the village church-yard,
You know it will be best;
And then when little brother,
And you are called to die,
You'll come and sleep beside me-
Together we will lie,
!sThen do not weep, dear mother"
He feebly, sweetly said,
Then closed his weary eyelids,
And turned his aching head,
knew that he was dying,
The shortened quivering breath
Soon told, alas, too truly.
That he was thine-O Death.
He said, "I must not miss him."
But ah! how can this be?
He was the veriest sunshine
Of all the earth to me-
O, grant me grace, my Father.
This heavy grief to bear,
Help me 4hy steps to follow,
That l his joy may share
God claimed my dearest treasure,
cTwas only lent, not given)
From earth to wean my spirit,
To draw my heart to heaven.
Then when my heart Is weary
Of sorrow, sin and care,
I'll seek to look above me,
Where all is bright and fair.
Now in the village churchyard
We've laid him down to rest,
The sod upon his bosom,
Sweet flowers upon his breast.
trust his ramsomed spirit,
Is in the world above
Where pain, nor death can enter,
Where all the air is love,

1t will be remembered that Mr. Davis trial
was postponed, some ten days ago. till April
10th 1t is now understood that it is to oe still
further deferred, from that date. The next re
gular term of Judge Underwood Court com
mences May 4th and it is not supposed tina
sufficient time will elapse between the day now
fixed for the trial and that time to allow OF the
completion of the case in the interval. When
next called up, it will, we presume, be postpon-
ed to--God knows when
1t is singular, but it is almost certain, that
the trial of President johnson will be concluded
aud he most probably hurled from office, before
that of President Davis commences.
What a commentary upon the changes of re-
