Last week we had the pleasure of a
visit from Mr.. j. E. Norris, the gen
tleman whom we mentioned some time
ago as being engaged.in writing a
History of the Lower Shenandoah
Valley. Mr.. Norris is at present
deIving into the ancient documents
of Frederick county, and has discov-
cred a number of new aud interest
ing facts concerning tlits section
His special business in this county is
for the purpose Of confirming the idea
that the first settlers OF the Valley
came here, instead of, as stated by
other historians, to the opcquon,
above Winchester. Any one having
information in regard to carly mat
tiers will do the gentleman named q
great favor by communicating with
him at Winchester.
