BILE of days in the history of New Market.

erected by the Women's Memorial Society
Of the Lost Cause in honor of the cadets and
soldiers who fell in the battle of New Mar
ket, May 10, 1864.
Distinguished visitors were present from
Washington and other Cities and the Valley

crowd was estimated at 5000 to 5000. The
town was in holiday array and dispensed a
generous hospitality to all the visitors
The Virginia Military Institute cadets
from Lexington went down by special
train. Hon. s. II. Letcher, president of the
board of visitors, was with the boys. Miss
Mary Williamson unveiled the handsome
monument that commentaries the memory
of the valor of the cadets who fell near that
spot. Capt. j. S. Wise was the orator of
the day. His address was elegant in die
ton. patriotic in sentiment, eloquently de-
livered, and greatly enjoyed.
The monument, which was erected through
the efforts of the Woman's Memorial So
ciety of the Lost Cause, of New Market,
stands in st. Matthews Lutheran Cemetery,
outskirts of the town. 1t is beautiful shaft
of gray granite, having on the front panel,
facing the north, the inscription: "A CRATE
full tribute to the Southern soldiers and v
M. l. Cadets who fell in the Battle Of New
Market, May Is, 1861" On the sub-base
underneath are the words, Confederate
memorial" On the south face is engraved.
1861 1S64-Our Confederate heroes sleep
ing, but glorious" and on the east and west
panels are the names Of the cadets and sol
diers who fell in the battle.

Death Of Mrs. Scotia w. Pasteson.

After brief illness Mrs. Scotia w. Pat
teson, Of Augusta Springs, passed quietly
and peacefully away on Thursday evening
of last week, .ged II years. Mrs. Patteson
belonged to the old school of gentle women;
refined, polite. kind hearted, and hospitable
to fault, as so many East Virginians are.
She was beloved and res pected by every one
and in her death there is profound sorrow to
number of personal friends, who extend
to the members of her family the deepest
sympathy. She mad been in feeble health
for several years, but until few days of
her death there were no immediate appre-
tensions. The deceased was Miss War

merchant of Winchester, who
moved to Staunton and conducted o mer-
camille business in this city. She married
Richard L. Patteson of Buckingham coun-
ty, who located on large estate near Cul-
pepper Court House before the war. where
the family were raised. Some years after
the close of the war the family moved to this
county, Mr.. Patteson becoming partner
with DR.. j. Alex. Waddell in the purchase
of the Old Crawford Springs. of which Mr.
Patteson was the proprietor for number Of
years. After his death his sons managed the
property till it was sold to Messrs. Daniel
& Anderson, who changed the name of the
Spring to Augusta White Sulphur. Since
the sale the family has lived on farm ad-
joining the springs property, where they
have continued to accommodate summer
guests each succeeding season. Surviving
Mrs. Patteson are three sons, DIR. A. Lee,
Edward E.. and Warden w. Patteson, a
daughter. Miss Alice, and two maiden sis
tiers Misses Sarah E. and Margaret L. War
den. Funeral services on Saturday we're
conducted at the late residence and at
Thornrose cemetery this city, where the re-
mains were laid at rest in the family lot.

faithful member for manyyears. The pail
bearers were: Messrs. j. NJ. KunkIe, S. B

A Gloomy Episode.

Two men and one woman, the most extreme
specimens of dilapidated humanity ever
coming under our observation,-rag
faded, jaded and almost unacceptable as
human beings,-tramped through Clifton
Forge some time Tuesday going east. They
squatted on the railroad green opposite Mrs
Hyde's boarding housefor something like AT
hour, presumably to rest, their presence and
appearance provoking considerable critic
ism pro and con from the passing
throng. They left and nothing further was
heard of them until Thursday morning
when word came back to us that the woman
had taken sick on the roadside not far from
the LongdaIe Rock Quarry, and had laid
down and died. -Clifton Forge Review.
