MOsBY IN NEW ROLE.

A Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun gives the following inter
esting account of an incident which oc-
CURED before the Claims Commission at
Washington
Quite an interesting incident took
place to-day in the room Of the South
ern Claims Commission. The Commits
sioners had just heard the claim of JOSH
ah b. Bowman, of Fairfax County, Va,
for $6,700, and were hearing the closing
staten ments of Mr. James l.. Gardner, OF
Loudoun County, Va, for support of his
own claim for ~, 500 for property taken
from his farm by Union Uhlsns. Mr.
Gardner was giving in his evidence,
when Col J. S. Mosby, the ex-Confede-
rate guerilla, came into the room to file
claim before the Commission for a
client. Mr.. Gardner was reciting at the
time kow he escaped from the 'rebels
during the war, under command Of the
notorious Mosby, and how he saved his
property, to be kept only, however, un-
til the Union soldiers came along and
gobbled it up. Mosby, who was un-
known to the witness, took a seat about
ten feet from him and listened to him
attentively. Finally Gardner related
the trouble that Mosby and other rebels
gave him by endeavoring to chase him
out of the county because he was Uni
on man, and ended by saying, "they did
not succeed, however; remained there
all the time.
One of the Commissioners asked
Gardner, did you ever see that Mos
by 2" to which Gardner replied, "No,
sir, but he was hard after me many
times
Mosby, who was an attentive listener
throughout, turned quietly over to Mr..
Benjamin, the chief clerk Of the Com
mission, and asked, "Who is this wit
ness-what's his name ?" He was in
formed, to which Mosby replied, 80,
yes, | know him to be loyal man, too;
there was good MANY after him" The
counsel for Gardner heard this, and tur-
ming around asked of Mr. Benjamin,
"Who is this man 7" He was informed
that it was Col Mosby, and he immedi-
ately asked him if he would give in evil
dence of Mr.. Gardner's loyalty.
Mosby, then, to the great surprise Of
Gardner who never in his life had seen
his face before took the stand and testi
fed that he himself had never seen him
(Gardner) during the war, though he
had often tried to catch him as ore of
the few Union men of Loudoun. The
claimant and Mosby then shook hands
over the bloody chasn, the former re-
marking, "God how people change
places" He assured Mosby that he had
hard work to keep out of his sight nine
or ten years ago. and thanked him for
giving in the evidence. Mosby has con-
siderable practice before this Commis-
sion, and is very successful in his cases
before them.

ven further West, where, with undying
devotion, the Modocs are now making
a fight against the U. S. worthy of the
heroic legends of the days we have been
giving some Scraps of History from.
To look back is well, and to see what
we have done since, should encourage
us to greater efforts in the grand future
of old Virginia.
Rockbridge and Rockingham coun-
ties were taken from Augusta and Bote-
tourt in l777.
Augusta has furnished more Speakers
for the House of Delegates than any
county in Virginia
John Hagerty and Richard Owens
were the first Methodist preachers in
the Valley in l77O.
The first camp meeting in the Valley
was held at Chrismans Spring,
two miles from Winchester in August,
1906.
The first log cabins were built in
Winchester in l73S-one hundred and
thirty-tive years ago. 1t now numbers
over 5000 people. -
Augusta and Frederick were laid off
in 1888, and included all thew region
West of the Blue Ridge.
Mr. John Hite built the first brick
house, West of the Blue Ridge,in Fred
erick county, near Winchester in 1885.
1t is still standing or was during the
war-a small one-story house.
Tuscarora church, Berkeley county,is
the first place the Gospel was publicly
preached West of the Blue Ridge, and
the next was Falling Waters in same
county.
In I776, Congress ordered that Hon.
John Penn, Esq, and Benz. Chew Esq,
Quakers of Pennsylvania, and disloyal,
should be removed to Staunton in Va
an1 kept till they swore or affirmed al
legiance to the State Of Pennsylvania.
Botetourt was taken from Augusta in
1869. The act says: And whereas
the people situated on The Mississippi,
in said county of Botetourt,will be very
remote from the G. III. &c, &c, the in
habitants who live on said water shall
be exempt from taxes, &c.
Shenandoah county was originally
called Dunmore, after Gov. Dunmore,
but was changed as he was loyal to the
King, in The old Revolution.
Weyer's Cave was discovered in 1904
by Bernard Weyer, while digging for
ground hog. He is how living in Ill,
or his children are, and doing well.
Lexington was established by law
October, l777 The act says "There
shall be laid off n town TO be called
Lexington, 1900 feet in length and 900
in width"
Staunton was laid off by VIM. Bever
lev in l76l and established by law same
year The first settlers were principally
Irish
