Grant and Mrs. Newton.

Summer Hill, close to Studley, Va,
is a very interesting place, built over
100 years ago, and was the arena of
much active warfare about the year
1862. Mrs. Newton resides there, the
widow of Captain William B.. Newton,
a scholarly gentleman and brave COM
mander of cavalry in General Fitz- Hugh
Lees brigade, who was killed at the
battle of Culpeper Courthouse. Summer
Hill was taken for headquarters by
General Grant, and there he held a
council of war with General Hancock
and General Mcdowell. General Grant
told Mrs. Newton he was expecting an
attack, and that a battle would be fought
under her very rooftree and added:
II advise you strongly, madam, to go
over into King William county with
your little children. l will be glad to
furnish you an ambulance and safeguard
to cross the lines"
She answered.: "No, l prefer to stay
here. This old home is all | have left,
and if it's fate is to fall down it will
have to fall on my head. l can put tho
children down in the potato cellar, and,
general, if you should get scared when
the firing begins you can go down there
with them"
General Grant laughed heartily and
said: "Have your w way, madam.
You are brave enough" After the wal
was wei he inquired very particularly
of her and expressed the hope that she
came out all right. -Boston Transcript.
