THE HISTORY OF AUGUSTA CoUNTY.-From
the July number of the Vaginias we copy the
following notice of Col. Pcyton's forthcoming
History Of Augusta, a work which Will not
only possess a deep interest for those who feel
in some measure identified with the grand old
county, but for all lovers of valuable literature.
From the examinations we have been able to
make of the manuscript, we can safely prom
Use the readers of the book great pleasure as
well as profit in its perusal. Its author has
spared neither trouble nor expense in securing
reliable ,ata, and the facts as he has gathered
them are presented in the most attractive
FORM Col Peyton combines the qualifications
of the laborious student and the flnlshed
scholar, and as the work under consideration
is the product of his rIper ye,ls. and has been
prepared after the most l'ainstnking and accu-
rate research, we are justified in promising
the public, and especially the people of tins
section, an intellectual feast. The piiylnds
says: "a history of Augusta County, Virginia
the mother county that once had within Its
limits and under its jurisdiction all the great
region living between the Blue Ridge and the
Mississippi, now divided into the States OF
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Kentucky, leaving goodly portion still in
Virginia the work OF Col. John Lewis Pey-
lon of this city, is now passing through the
press of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN. 1t will
make handsome volume of some 400 pages,
one that will be creditable alike to its author
and to its publishers.
A native of the county, a descendant OF one
of its heroic first settlers, an ardent student
and lover of local annals, experienced as an
author, and trained by extensive travels to OBJ
serve men and manners, Col. Peyton is pecu
liary fitted for the task of writing the history
of this grand county, one that in many re-
spec,s may properly be called famous. We
shall look with great interest for the appear
ance of this work, one on which its author
has been constantly and ndustrously en-
gagged for the past two years, assured that it
will be full of interest, not only to the thous
ands that proudly call "Old Augusta" home
land but TO many others who delight in the
annals that form the foundation stones Of his
tory We are pleased to record that this local
history is to bc locally published iilt

FINE SHEEP.-It may not be generally
known that some of the finest thoroughbred
sheep in the State are raised in Augusta
county. Mr.. H. A. s. Hamilton, whose adver-
tisement appears in another column, has Civ
en- much attention to the breeding Of blooded
sheep, and the success he has met with proves
that he has gone about the business in bust
ness way A lover OF fine stock and withall an
excellent judge. he has spared neither trouble
nor expense in securing the hest strains, and
most gratifying results have followed his gef-
forts to introduce to the farmers of this State
improved breeds of sheep. We are confident
that those who desire to engage in wool or
mutton growing cannot do better thar TO add
one or two bucks from the fine flock of Mr..
IL. The same gentleman also has some ex-
cellent Chester White and Berkshire hogs

offered in this market since our last ISSUE In the
eastern and western centers Of trade great quaint
ties ofwheat have been rushed in, under the'beiei
that prices must continue to fall and that the EARL

Europe have been active, and will continue to be
for some time at present prices. An advance would
check this. We quote in this MARKET flour, old,

JARED ELLIOTT'S WILL.
The Nephew Wins the Suit and the
Property.

The trial of the issues from the Probate
Court, involving the validity of the will of
Jared l.. Elliott, which has been,going on
for the past ten days before Justice Mac
Arthur, terminated this morning by ver-
dict of the jury, who were all night consid-
eripg the case. The will was made in
April, 1881, and by it the bulk of his for
tune, about $4,000, given to III. Clay Stew
art. The contest was made by Mr.. Il. G..
Elliott, the nephew and nearest relative of
the deceased, on the ground that the will
was obtained by Mr.. Stewart and his friends
by undue influence when the deceased was
IN eTtremis. The will was made one night
about o'clock, and Mr.. Elliott died the
next morning about 6. None of his rela-
tives were about him, either when the will
was made or when he died. Mr.. Stewart
offered to prove the will in the Probate
Court, and Mr.. L. G. Elliott filed caveat
and the issues were directed to be heard in
the Circuit Court
The jury returned a verdict: First, that
the said paper writing purporting to be the
last will and testament of the said Jared l.
Elliott, bearing date on the 18th day o
| April, 1881, was executed in due form o.
| law; that the contents Of said paper writ
| ing were not read TO or by the said Jared
| l.. Elliott at or before the alleged execution
| thereof by him; that the said Jared L
| Elliott at the time of the alleged execu
tion Of said paper writing was net of sounC
and disposing mind and oapablSPf execut
| ing valid deed or contract; That the sait
paper writing was executed by the said Jare(
| l.. Elliott under the influence Of sugges
tions, opportunities and undue pursuasioI
| of said Henry Clay Stewart or other person
| when his mind, from its disordered disease
| and enfeebled state, was unable to resist tn,
same; that the execution of said pape
| writing was procured by Henry Clay Stew
art OF other persons acting of their owl
volition or under the direction of Henr.

THE LIGHT INFANTRY PARADE.
How 1t Proposes TO Celebrate the
RirfhdnY of MnshingtOn.

Tomorrow being Washington's birthday
our crack military organization, the Wash
ington Light Infantry Corps, propose to
celebrate the day by a parade, on which
occasion they will make their first appear
ance in their new battalion form of four
full companies fully officered and equipped,
and in the following form: Lieut.-Col. w.
G. Moore commanding, and staff, consisting
of Captains Dingman, Woodbury., Dyer,
Breitbarth, Wheeler, Ashford, Bartel and
Ergood Lieut.. Linn, assistant surgeon, and
Lieut.. w. ii. Harrison, adjutant Company
A, Capt. Dalton and Lieut.. Cowie; Com
pany c, Capt. Goddard and Lieut. Entwisle;
Company d, Capt. Miller and Lieut.. Duffy;
Company B, Capt. Ross and Lieut.. Thomas.
Each company, it is expected, will have its
full regulation complement of men, the
newly appointed non-commissioned officers
will be newly equipped, and as the parade
will be in the handsome dress uniform of
the corps, the Avenue and other streets over
| which the parade passes will no doubt be
thronged by thousands of our people, all of
| whom take so much interest in this justly
| celebrated organization. The corps will
assemble at their armory at 2:30 o'clock and
the line of march taken up one hour later
| over the following route: Up Pennsylvania
avenue to Seventeenth street, to G street,
up G to Twenty. second street, out Twenty
| second to X, down X tn the Arlington,
where a dress-parade will be given, after
which they will march to their armory and
dsperse. The Second Artillery band will
furnish the music. In case of rain the pa.
rade will be postponed. 1t is to be hoped
the sun will shine as brightly and pleas
antly as the smiles of favor are shei
on this picked contingent of the youth o
Washington by all eyes, young and old
who appreciate the services of good mi
litia in both war and peace.

arranged. The special committee appointed
by the House were all Democrats, and the
Democratic Senators concede the right of
the minority to representation, and wish
to avoid deadlock. The whole matter
will therefore be sent to the Elections Com
mittee. Some want it to go to the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, the Elections
Committee being full of work. Both
sides recognize that a new apportionment
is rendered absolutely necessary in the
Third, Fourth and Fifth districts by the
redivision of Baltimore. The Republicans
have no wish to obstruct, nor the Demo-
Gratis to get up party fight to the detri'
ment of other business.
