A Lucky Dog.

A few days ago two maiden ladies of
aristocratic mien and advanced age were
noticed in the Valley R. r. train to
show as much attention to decrepid
dog as is generally bestowed on child
tanning him, bringing him water and put
ting ice to his head. The story connect
ed with it is a touching one. In 1852
these ladies' were boarding at the hotel in
Woodstock, kept by Mr.. Schaetfer, for
mer owner of the Virginia Hotel here.
His son, Theodore, a young Confederate
soldier, a great favorite in the house,
was just leaving town one day as the
Federals were coming, and handed a
little puppy to these two ladies, as he
said to remember him by. He was kill
ed in battle, and for seventeen years this
dog. now deaf and blind from age, has
been treated with the tenderness of a
child. The ladies are connected with the
Washington family.
