The Loss of Life Before Plevna.

LONDON, Sept 4.-There were engaged on
the Russian side about $1,000, against $4,000 to
10000 Turks. The valor Of the Russian troops
is the only thing to be praised, as the attack
was unskillfully directed and wasted great
deal of life. The Turks were very skillfully
handled. The Turks must have lost some men
in their two salles in the open field, other
wise they were completely covered and lay
close until the moment of assault.

A Suit For Millions.

Ex-Assemblyman Thomas Cary, of
Hudson county,N.J., states that he has
undertaken the conduct of an import
ant suit for the recovery of 10000
acres of land situated in West Virgin
ia and Kentucky, $4,000 Of which are
in Fayette county, and on part of
which the city of Lexington now stands.
There are eight claimants, but the one
who has the immediate conduct of
the case is Mrs. Miller, present lessee
Ofthe Willow Haven Hotel, at Pamrapo,
on the New Jersey Central railroad.
Mrs. Miller claims to be one of the
descendants of John Young, who was
born in Philadelphia, and emigrated
to Alexandria, Va, in 1857, where he
married and established himself as a
cracker and pilot bread manufacturer
in large sttne house, which is still
standing. His wife, whose maiden
name was Marstella, was connection
of the Gusts family, and consequent
ly related to Martha Washington.
His business fourished, and after &C
cumulating considerable wealth he in
vested in 1l4,s91 acres in the patent
lands Of the Commonwealth of Virgin
ia. The amount paid varied from
three to five cents an acre, and in a
few minor instances was as low as
half cent He probably invested
