4 Touching Incident.

On last Thursday evening two ladies
stopped at the Carter House from Penn
sylyania. One of them was an elderly per-
SON the other her niece, of middle age
The object of their visit to Charles Town
was that of wifely remembrance and love.
The elder lady nearly fifty years ago, with
her young husband, came to this vicinity,
he to act as manager of the old Brooks fur
mace. across the Shenandoah river, near
Shannondale Springs. After a residence of
nine months he died of typhoid fever, in
the 9th year of his age. Being a Metho-
dist his dying request was that he should
be buried in the Methodist burying ground
at Charles Town-his body not to be re-
moved to his native State. Forty-eight
years ago this coming October his body was
inferred. Stones were placed at the head
and foot of the grave, which to-day are in a
remarkably good state of preservation,
seeming to defy the corroding effects OF
time-the lettering as legible as when first
made.
The visit of this lady after the lapse OF so
many years to the grave Of her first love
was exceedingly touching. 1t was of ten
der and long-lived affection, to replace the
stones if necessary and to restore the grave,
which was much sunkeD to its first and
proper state, which was done by the sexton,
Mr.. Dunlap. She brought some choice
flowers to be, and which were, planted on
the grave.
The name of the deceased husband was
Davis. There is but one man living IN
this community at this day who was then
connected with the furnance, Mr.. John
Viands, whom she was very anxious to see.
DR.. G. +. Mason, then young man, was
the attending physician. She called to see
the Doctor, and was pleased to find him SO
active, and looking SO young that she rec
ognized him on sight.
Having performed this loving visit and
purpose, she left for home.-Spirit.
