Letter From n Pastor.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I hope you will al
low me just little space in your val
liable paper to tell how handsomely
my people have treated Inc. One
day last week brother Jan IS Dun
can drove up to my gate VITA nice
new carriage tied on to his cart. And
what made our hearts glad was, he
left that carriage. Left it as token
OF affection and kindly feeling from
the people of Mappsville and Bethel
and others.
Well, it would be very hard for me
to express my gratitude and appre-
citation for this and other expressions
OF their kindnesses to myself and
family since we have been here, so
let me say to them that l will try
and show my appreciation by look
ing us keenly as possible for the best
interest of their souls. This might
be fine object lesson for some other
folks. For not many. preachers are
blessed with an overplus of the good
and nice things of this life. Verbuln
sat sapienti-'a word to the wise ~
sufficient" Thanking you for this
much space,
r, KTNG

Body WaShod Ashore.


The body of u white man was
washed ashore on Metompkin Beach
near Gargatha Inlet, on Fridayeven-
ing, the 9th instant. Mr.. Bowdoir
Shreaves, who first saw the body ly,
ing on the shore, notified Magistrate
Parks and the latter had the remaint
inferred Sunday of the county's e1-
pense. There was nothing about
the dead man to Indicate his iden.
tity. The body when first seen was
in an advanced state OF de-
composition and had been badly mu'
tilated. The clothing had been pref
ty well worn away by the swash
of the sea, but the coarse brogan
shoes indicated that he was probably
a seaman.
The report that the drowned man
was the missing Guyandotte
passenger, Cicero Harrison Case
seems to have been without
any founda ion in fact, MS there were
no points of resemblance traceable
between the two. Case was low in
stature, while the dead mans frame
was large. Then again Cases clothes
were of superior quality. Such
clothes as still remained on the body
were coarse. Mrs. Wallace. OF Port
Norfolk, Cases daughter, came to
Accomac during the week, but on
learning of these facts declared her
self satisfied that the remains were
not those of her father.
1t is said by those who examined
the body before it's burial that there
was large cash in the back, which
looked as If it had been inflicted by
some heavy instrument.
