a reception to the younger set In
honor of their daughter, Miss Grace

that everything was done to make It
pleasant to those that were present,
for the host and hostess are well
posted in all OF the forms OF old Wiz
ginia hospitality. The visitors re-
ported grand and happy time.
Mr.. Tank 6 Kellam, the efficient
constable of Lee District, was in

correspondent OF an accident that
happened to his engine, also what he
considered the damages, and he app
peared to be at loss to know where
the chink was coming from to pay
the repair bill. 1t now appears, that
should the corner guards of Locust
Vile continue to apply to the Squire
for writs that Tank and his mill will

The Launch Mears is stranded and
laying we'll up on what is known as
Haulover Flats but in no immediate
danger as there is no surge or under
tow TO damage the unfortunate ves-
sci. Capt. Dodge, the master OF the
unfortunate craft, being unable to
observe the suns altitude on account
of thick weather and not having q
ships chronometer,says that his mis-
fortune was due to faulty dead reck

is good reason to believe that the
Mears will be floated on the next ful
tide without damage.

Watching, looking and for us will

Servant of God, we'll done,
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle fought, the victory won
Enter thy Masters joy.
The voice at twilight came,
A mortal arrow pierced his frame
He fell but felt no fear,
BY wife and friends.
A father gone to heaven!
OF this we are truly sure,
Still, we cannot help but miss him,
For he was so good and pure.
Let us pause here just a moment,
While we mourn for those we love
Fathers gone, but gone to Jesus,
He who said that God is love.
BY his devoted children.
