of sixteen persons in all, who
had removed TO Indiana some three
years ago, returned to "Old Virginia's
rather to the "shore" that

the recent "Onp.easantness." We be-
lieve they went from Ritchie and Writ,
and are now returning to those cOun-
ties. And thus it is, those of our citi- |
zens who have hankering after the +!
