We publish the list of letters
remaining uncalled for in the
Zaleski office-that is we come
as near to it as we can from
the copy furnished. The per.
son who furnished the copy is
evidently a good writer, but it
is written in such a hasty,
careless manner that it was
impossible to tell more than
three or four of the names
with any degree OF certainty.
Especial care should always be
t,ken in forming every letter
in names; for there is no chance
to guess at it by what precedes
or follows.

We un derstand that the &C.
tive state of the real estate
market of which we made men,
ton last week was brought
about principally through the
influence of Benz johnson and
j. W. Rannells. The parties
purchasing are men OF their ac-
quaintance, with whom they
have traded for years, and are
principally stock raisers and
dealers, who had sold their
farms in Hooking, Perry, etc.,
for coal lands, and inte nded to
go West; but learning that
good grazing lands could be
had here at low prices, they
have made purchases here
through these gentlemen. Par.
ties who want to sell, and are
willing to take a fair price for
their lands, will no doubt find
purchasers by placing the mat
ter of sale in their hands.

RETURN OF THE MILITARY FROM TIE WHITE
SuiPuuR.-C Company &C." Guard of the
Commonwealth, Lieutenant j. V. Bidgood
commanding returned to the city at 4.30 A.
VI. Sunday. by the express train, alter
having spent Il most delightful week at the
Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs. Lieu
tenant Bdgood did not carry the full
strength of this fine company, many Of the
members being unable to leave their places
of business at the time. Those who did so,
however. have returned greatly pleased with
the trip, and are doubtless anxious that it
may he repeated at an early day. The COM
pany was quartered at the White Sulphur in
the basement of the Methodist chapel, where
they received every possible attention. Du-
ring their stay the band at the Springs kindly
served the company at drill and dress.pa-
r,de every afternoon, and on other uc-
| ca>ions when requested. The Rich
uond military, but especially this crack
coln pany. seem TO have made L decided iln-
preston upon tue lady-yisitors at the White,
to say nothing of the others. The fact is,
the girls "madc quitea fuss " over our Rich
mond boys, and were not sparse in their
compliments or attentions. A number of
he members have returned minus several
brass buttons, while others had even their
epauletS taken from them, much to the detri-
ment of the SOldier-boys' pocket-books. One
young lady, Miss Thomas, of Philadelphia,
Il belle Of the Springs, was so much tasci-
mated that she went SO far as to request an
introduction to cach member of the CON-
pany, and even wanted TO become an hon
orary member. This compliment was, OF
course, paid her, and she was salutcd ac-
cordingly.
On Friday photograph of the company
was taken, aud a copy kept ut the White as
Il memorial Of their visit.
The solder-boyS appeared in full uniform
at the grand dress-ball Oh Friday night and
created quite sensation. Upon leaving the

amounting in value to about thirty dollars,
