A GOLD WATCH FoUND.-Mr John Hoff
man, Of Water Lick, Warren county, found on
Monday, January 3lst, while hunting on the
top of Massanutten mountain, at the point or
knob overlooking Strasburg, near the site of
the signal station, a fine double case gold watch
aud chain, which it is supposed were lost at that
piacs during the war. In the year 1864 de-
'achwent of Federal soldiers attacked part
OF the Confederate signal corps and drove them
from their posts. The Confedcrates, in turn,
attacked the Federals and drove them down
the mountain, killing some and capturing
others 1t is supposed the watch Was lost at
this time. When found it was lying open,
iacc upwards, and with the exception of the
hands was 10 good condition. The key was SO
much rusted that it could not be used. The
case was colored by smoke, that part of the
mountain having been burned severa! tines
Slnce the war. On reaching home Mr.. Hoff
man wound the watch, when it commenced and
still continues to ruu. 1t may possibly have
been jcrked from the pocket of one of the SOL
dlerS as they made their hasty retreat through
The brush. Our hunters look upon these facts
as evlience that hunting still continues to pay.
