The cornerstone of the M. e:
Church South, about being erected in
Middleway, was laid on the 9Th inst.
by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge
ofWest Virginia. The Grand Master
being unable to attend, sent his proxy
to Hon. Jno. w. Grantham, who per-
formed tie ceremonies by the assist
ance of the brethren. The Grand
Lodge was Differed as follows:
NJ. w. John w. Grantham as G..
NJ. R. w. S. d. Engle as D. G.. NJ. ;
R. w. Jas. W. Carney as G. S. w. ;

There were present besides members
of Triluminar Lodge, a number of
brethren from Malta, Excelsior and
Joppa Lodges of West Virginia, and
Dallas Lodge of Virginia. There was
also present Potomac Commandery.
The procession was formed by the
Grand Marshal, and preceded by
the MiddIeway Klipper Band, pro-
ceeded to the building about being
erected, where the stone was laid, it
being a finc marble block prepared
by Diehl & Bro. After laying the
stone the procession was reformed
and moved to a beautified grove,
adjoining the town, where a>bountiful
repast had been prepared by the la
dies. After discussing the dinner
and refreshments the Grand Lodge
returned to the hall of TriIuminar
Lodge, where it was closed in due
form. Ahandsome amount was real
lied, which will be devoted to the
building fund of the church. The
building committee are under lasting
obligations to all who contributed to
make the event a success. Where all
did so well it would be invidious to
name any particular person, but we
think all will be willing We should
mention the name of Mr.. VIM. II.
Balm for his untiring exertions to
make tic occasion a success.

An Ancient Document.

A very remarkable document is at
present in the possession of the Rev.
DIR. A. C. Hopkins-as well for its
antiquity as for the uniqucness of its
style and general appearance. 1t is
the original deed for the old Presby-
terrain lot and burying ground on
West street. 1t bears the date of the
18th of February, 1787-nearly one
hundred years ago. The assignors
are Charles Washington and Mildred
his wife. The sum named as pur-
chase money, twenty pounds English
currency. The witnesses to the deed
were David Kennedy, John White,
Peter Burr and Jacob ConchIin. The
assignees Allen Pollock, James
Stuart and VIM. Cherry. What is
now Jefferson county was then a part
Berkeley county. The paper is in
good preservation, and the hand writ
ing and signatures are very plain and
legible. The wording, after the
manner of that olden time, is very
specific and particular-much more so
than at present. The clerk or re-
corder of that early day was Mo.
Hunter. The authorities of the Pres
byterian Church in Ch~arlestown,
wishing to know the exact status OF
the lot, through DIR. Hopkins wrote
to Mr.. Doll, the county clerk OF
Berkeley, who, after a long search
through the musty records of the Of
ice, brought to light the above named
deed and forwarded it to DR.. II. 1t
is in absolute fee simple, without any
reversionary clause to the original
givers or their heirs.

gentry to confne themselves to the
truth, or else to get rid of their pres

Ex-Governor of Maryland, ex-U.
S. Senatoran ex-NIayoro of Baltimore,
VIM. Pinckney Whyte, was in Charles
town last Thursday, and stopped at
the Carter House. He delivered an
argument before the Court of Appeals
now in session, for the railroad of
which Ex-senator Davis is president,
which had been mulcted of damages
by the lower court for the death of
an engineer killed on the road, from
which an appeal had been taken.
The Governor, though frosted in his
locks by the years gone by, was Wig
orous in health and showed vim enough
to work for years to come, in the po-
litical arena in which he has been
one of the great athletes of the past.
He and our townsman A. E. Ken
nedy, Esq, studied law together in
the same office in Baltimore.
