Recovered After Eighteen Years.

Twenty years ago, central figure at the
public exercises of the Wesleyan Female
Institute was Miss M. Lewis Figgatt, a
pupil taking the regular course. She was
a sister of Capt. J. H. H. Figgatt. and
was so handsome girl in face and figure
that it was a custom of the young fellows
of that day to attend the concerts just to
see her. The Lynchburg Advance has the
following paragraph which calls her to
mind:
s.Several days ago Sergeant Pendleton, of
the police force, came across a negro who
had a gold medal of the Wesleyan Female
Institute, Staunton, with the name OF Miss
M. Lewis Figgatt. and the date OF 1876
engraved on it. The sergeant took posses
sion of the medal and wrote to the widow
of Captain J. H. Figgatt, of Fincastle,
who, in reply, stated that the medal was
the property of Mrs. M. Lewis Voolfolk,
of Richmond. Today the sergeant received
a letter from Mrs. Voolfolk, describing the
medal. She said it was presented to her
for proficiency in music at the Female In
stitute, in 1875. and had been missing for
eighteen years. Her brother. she wrote,
attended Lynchburg Fair about that
time, wearing the medal on his watch
chain. While in crowd, some one at
tempted to steal his watch and broke the
chain with the medal and got away with
them. The medal will be sent to Mrs.
Voolfolk.

Looking for a Location.

A party of four Philadelphians, repre-
senting themselves and others, were at
Basic City Tuesday, looking for a site to
establish an abattoir at which may be
slaughtered $4,000 cattle, 80, 900 sheep and
10000 hogs, every year. They had come
from Southwestern Virginia where they
had been inspecting the country. Capt. H.
w. Holt and Mr.. Samuel Forrer met them
at Basic and showed them land they could
get. On Wednesday afternoon they came
up to Staunton ard looked around at the
city, but not with any view to an abattoil
here. Their chief concern is whether the
country around can furnish the cattle,
b ,gs and sheep they will need. They al
ready have an abattoir up North at which
they, besides slaughtering, manufacture
the products-fertilizer buttons, leather
and SO forth-employing $50 men. They
propose to do the same at any abattoir they
may establish in Virginia.
