Mrs. Sinclair at Honolulu.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. l.. Whitney
were gratified yesterday by the re-
ceipt of tidings from their daugh-
ter. Mrs. Bartlett Sinclair. who is
on her way across the ocean to join
her husband in the Philippines.
The letters were written OF board
the U. S. A. T. Grant, but mailed
at Honolulu, at which place the
transport anchored two days. Mrs.
Sinclair writes that she was we'll
and had enjoyed the trip so far i'm
mensely. She had not been sea-
sick, nor missed a meal, and had
gained in weight, all of which was
the more remarkable because the
Grant had encou I tered extremely
rough sea, causing it to be two days
over due reaching Honolulu II
days after leaving San Francisco.
The Grant is expected to reach
Manila in IS days out from Homo
lulu. She was enrapturei with
the latter city where she found her
self under summer skies. Among
those on board were Mr.. and Mrs.
McChesney, who resided in this
county many years, and whom Mrs,
Sinclair found agreeable travelling
companions. Mr., McChesney holds
position as master mechanic in
the quarter department at
Manila, which position he has held
for three years, through the recon-
mendation of former Governor
Steunenberg. He was returning
TO his post, having been home to &C
company Mrs. McChesney over to
Manila. Mrs Sinclair sends her
kindest regards to all friends in the
Ferry.

DEATH OF MRS. ALEC PATTON.
Mrs. Ida Patton, wife of Alec
Patton, died at the residence of
Thomas Hooker, Tuesday evening.
March 4th, after painful illness.
The deceased was a most estim-
able young lady, and husband, par
ents, brothers and sisters, are left
sorrowing and heart broken.
Through all her sickness she made
no complaints, bid farewell to all
the bright hopes and plans that
fill the youthful Heart and mind
with the roseate hues of the NOM
ing, closed her eyes on earth and
earthly things when her spirit,
pure and unsullied, went out upon
the wings of the night to its eternal
destiny.
TO our limited vision, death
seems a monster, and doubly so
when his poisoned dart touches the
heart and chills the blood of the
young. 1t has not been permitted
to mortals, to know with certainty
of the future and in the presence of
death there is no dogma or philos-
ophy that can check the tears of
grief nor quiet the sobs of anguish,
when the time comes for the last,
long. lingering look and the last
sad farewell The great stream Of
humanity rushes impetuocsly on,
needless of it all, but in each little
home circle, where there is va
cant place, there are sacred mem
cries and heart longings that this
world can never etface nor satisfy.

James Bird Was a Highlander.

1t is highly probable if not alb
soIutelv certain, that Mr.. 5. W.
Sterrett is correct in lis suppoSI-
ton that at least one Highlander
rests in the Cemetery at LoXlHGton'
Va. He mentions the names Of ".
Byrd" and "D. Il. Byrd as being
carved on the Monument set up Oh
the Confederate square. The late
John Bird senior Of near Iiightown,
this county, had four sons III the
Confederate service, all members OF
Co. u, Dist, Reg't. Va. Volunteers.
Jacob, the Youngest son Of SAID
John Bird. died near Mount Merld-
lar in Augusta county, June 10th,
1862; David Bird another son, died
at or near GordonsvilIe Va. on the
9Th, day Of August 1862; James
Bird, the eldest son, died at Fair
view Hospital, near Lexington, Va.
on the Goth, day Of December 1853
and John Bird Jr. died at the Con-
federate Soldiers Home, Richmond
Va. about two years ago.
1t is almost an assured fact that
the name j., Byrd mentioned by
Mr.. Sterrett, stands for James Bird
who was, as above stated, II mem
Der of Co, Il, 31st, Va. infantry
and who died near Lexington.
sd. L. Bird was most likely from
some other part Of the state. 1t is
lamentable that so little is known
Of the last resting place Of so many
of oar brave confederate dead. The
motive which actuated Dir. S. to
make the enquiry continued in his
letter in the last issue Of the Re
corder, is praiscworthy.

c 80 Holds The NarrOwS

The G & O force jumped in

a half a mile of road in the direc-
ton of Travellers Repose which
takes them through the Narrows
on the east branch Of the Green
brier. This is narrow mountain
gorge through which the 5 Y T

A train was run over the new
road and car left standing at its
terminus and an INDUCTION has been
granted the c C 0 company re-
straining the McGraw company
from interfering with the newly

that the G. & O is master OF the sit
