We we're compelled very reluctantly

confused mass that il would require a

This sheet Is IL by II inches in size,
four pages, four columns each. Three
columns Of the first page are filled with
the report OF the finance committee oil
the Virginia Legislature for the year
ending Sept. 20, 1916; then follows an
extract from the plattsburg Republican
OF Dec. 2, from which we quote, at is
reported that the British are contracting
for several thousand sleighS, and for ten
thousand buffalo skins, and that a winter
campaign Is the order Of the day in Can
ada.
Il isvery probable that Sir George will
attempt 10 remove the British boundary
line to Crown Point, while the lake Is
covered with ice. Every exerhon ought
to be made to prevent such disaster.
The enemy having the command Of Lake
Ontario, will. doubtless direct all his
energies to this quarter, in order to gain

idea OF carrying the war into the United

From the RapPahauOCk.l
Gen. Cooke and his troops have re-
turned to Camp Carter. The British
dared not land at Urbanna or any other
point Of the river. They disappeared
from the Rappahanock on Friday-sup-
posed to be bound to the Tangier Islands,
10 deposit the small and contemplate
booty which they have collected. Such
is the honor OF the soldiers Of Britainl-.

requesting the return Of the same.
Then we have this singular notice Of a
union: s...

From this paper We find that we had a
foundry here known as the Brooke
Foundry" prior to the date that we placed
the WciIsburg Foundry at, 1885. It is
offered for sale by Joseph Doddridge.
The building was 80 by Al feet. On the
same lot was q strong frame building; 40
by 20 feet, on a good foundation, designed
as warehouse to the foundry. The
buildings stood on the northeast corner
OF Liberty and Yankee streets.
"Wheat, rye, corn, oats, &C., will be
taken in payment for papers, delivered
at this Office at the Market price"
Wonder how the boys would like it
now to be called down stairs to take in a
load Of country produce in exchange for
the morning papers.
The fourth page is chiefly filed with
advertisements. John Brady advertises
that he had lost between his home and
Panther Run 1928 in bank notes and
some silver, and offers $50 reward for its
return to him.

sale salt Of the best quality at Sll per

We lay the GaaGtte aside and pick up a
letter writtenin Baltimore, July q, 1914.
It is addressed to, Mrs. Ann Crawford,
Brooke county, Virginia, great grand
mother Of the writer OF this article. II
is not known who the writerwas as a por-
ton Of the letter Is gone The writer OF
the letter writes in reference to deed
for some land disposed of,and requests
that it will Be sent 10 him, "for II Is
thought by many that there will be con-
siderable. difficulty in obtaining specie,
and the banks have been and are shaking
to their center even from New York TO
Georgia. It appears that the British have
sent vast quantities Of their bills Of ex-
change 10 their agents in New England,
and they have sold them low through the
United States, forSEhich they get bank
notes and then Immediately demand
specie Of tho banks which issued them
and then send'the specie OF which,wi
