The Name of "Curles."
pIC'HNIOND Y


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Anent the origin of the name of
"Curles.' l hand you the following ex-
tracts from the Heqrico records: On the
sixth page. before page 295 numbering
illeeible), Of the second book, bound in
a volumn labelled Minutes from Febru-
airy. 1Gs2 April. 170l. IS an entry Of the
finding Of a jury, that "a patient granted
unto Captain Thomas Harris, dated ye
18th day Of febry, 1888, for Eight hunded
and twenty Acres Of land, scituate. lying.
& being in We Coty OF Hence, commonly
called and known by the name OF long
field with swith & marsh"
And, also & conveyance from William
Harris. the son OF the aforesaid Captain
Thomas Harris. to Roger Green for $50
acres Of Land, more or less, now known
by the name OF Curles, with swamp
and marsh bounded, etc"
"Alsoe one other conveyance dated the
18th day of 9 Der. 1868, from the aforesaid
Roger Green. mercht. TO Thomas Ballard,
OF the Coty OF James City Gent for
eight Uundr'd & twenty Acres more or
less, commonly called & known by ye
name Of Curles & formerly called Long
field, with a swamp and marsh. etc"
After recitng the various owners down
TO the second grant, Ut having escheated

dred and eighty acres with the other
lands) the land is again described
And called Curles. formerly Longfeld.
with swamp and marsh, beginning ana
bounding as is before expressed i'm ye
patient. dated the 18th Of ffebry, 16SS"
The present owner Of the place tells me
that there is a narrow strip OF land be-
tween the river and the marsh. which is
at this day called "the long field"
IL would seem from the above that there
was a more ancient name than Curles-
to wit, "Lonsiield." and the query now Is.
how was this name Superseded?

Divorce Question.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
a man under the influence Of liquor is
forced to marry a woman OF low charac-
ter When he becomes sober he realizes
his disgrace and Immediately leaves her.
and az soon as possible thereafter begins
proceedings for a divorce. Before the d.
vorce can be granted the woman. in a
distant city, is reported dead. He sends a
friend to investigate. and the friend con-
firms the report In few years the man,
who has removed 10 another State, meets
with an estimabie lady and they are mar
ried in Washington. D. c., and live to-
gether seven months, WHEN the rumor
comes that the first woman IS alive. l.
the first marriage valid and the eecond
one null and void? Could the man be
prosecuted for bigamy. the last marriage
being made in good faith and innocence?
Does a marriage in Washington, ID. G,
inValdate q previous marriage under the
above circumstances? {. a. >.
l. The first marriage is binding upon the
parties until declared invalid by a court
Of competent Jurisdiction. Whether the
court would dissolve The marriage or de-
clare IL null and void depends upon the
circumstances of the case TO be alleged In
the pleadings and established by COM
petent evidence.
2. The second marriage in Washington
was Illegal and invalid, and in no manner
affected the previous marriage.
3. The husband. having unintentionally
broken the law, could be prosecuted Tor
bigamy. but II is not believed that any
jury would convict him under the circGm-
stances detailed In the query.

Canning Corn and Peas.

From the Country Gentleman
see a question from a. H.. Lexington,
Ky. in regard 10 canning corn and peas.
We all want to know the best way. BY
the method practiced by most people,
there Is n loss OF from l. to 20 per cent.
Here Is one where the loss Is less than
8 per cent: Take the corn from the cob,
pack II I'm glass fruit cans without water
or seasoning Of any kind. Close can as
tight as possible; place can In boiler or
kettle with strips OF wood under. so they
will not stand on the bare bottom and
burn; then MI with cold water and let II
come 70 boiling point. Boil three-quarters
70 one hour; tighten more II possible when
taken ont. Peas may be done In the same
way: their quality depends on what they
are made of-not on their variety so much
as the fertilizer feed they have received.

attractive 70 the reader, whether young
