f Davidson's brigade. During the Appomattox campaign General Johnson commanded a division of Anderson's corps. He is now a resident of the State for which he fought in the dark days of 1861-‘65. Another North Carolinian who fought and fell in the Tarheels' thin gray line deserves special mention. The 23d North Carolina (General Robert Johnston's old regiment) was commanded by Colonel Charles Christopher Blacknall, of Granville county, N. C., a descendant of the Blacknalls of Wing, Buckinghamshire, who intermarried with the noble and exclusive Norman family of Harcourt. At the outbreak of the war, Colonel Blacknall organized the Granville Riflemen (Company G), 23d North Carolina, and was elected captain of the company. He rose rapidly to the colonelcy of the regiment. On the 19th of September, 1864, the 23d occupied, as a picket, the extreme outpost of Johnston's North Carolina brigade, and upon it fell the full force of the Federal onslaught.

ich other establishments under similar auspices have most commonly been conducted. Mr. Clark was descended from a family which in all its generations had been honourably connected with the history of religious liberty and Protestant dissent. His remote ancestor, Mr. Samuel Clark, of Bennet-Fink, in the City of London, was ejected from his living on the memorable day of St. Bartholomew, 1662, and was followed in the same honourable testimony by two sons, Samuel, Rector of Grendon, in Buckinghamshire, and John, Rector of Codgrave, in Nottinghamshire. The former of these was the author of the well-known Annotations on the Bible. His grandson, Dr. Samuel Clark, was minister at St. Albans, and a man of great worth, eminence, and piety. He is remembered as having been the early patron, adviser, and friend of Doddridge; to whom, in the sermon preached on occasion of his death, he thus records his obligations:—I may properly call him my friend and father, if all the offices of paternal

At Reed's Corner, at and near the junction of Main, Eden, and Mill streets, Charlestown, a century and more ago, was Mill Village. Mill Lane ran westward, and in the middle of the eighteenth century led to the mills and mill pond, now made land. At that time the mills were the property of Capt. Robert Temple, grandson of Sir Purbeck Temple, of Stanton Bury, Bucks, England. From the first settlement of Charlestown, Mill Lane had led to the mills and the mill pond, and near by was Mill Hill. The Webb family were here as millers, shortly after 1700, coming from Braintree. Benjamin Stokes was the miller in the middle of the century, and purchased a share in the mills from Robert Temple, and the balance from his widow in 1757. William Paine, miller, bought five acres of Robert Temple in 1768, and was the executor of Benjamin Stokes on his death. At th

l. M. is a graduate of West Point, to which school he removed from the University of Virginia, in 1826. He served in the artillery during the Mexican war, and distinguished himself highly in that service, having won several brevets by his gallantry and intelligence. He fought in all the battles from Vera Cruz to Mexico, and displayed all the qualities of a consummate officer. Yet another. Maj. Robt. S. Garnett has left the service of the United States and taken up that of his native State. He was in nearly all the battles of the Mexican war, and distingushed himself in all. Another again! "What? will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?" Major Samuel Anderson has resigned and takes service under his native State. Major Anderson is a native of Buckingham county, in this State. He is a most gallant officer, worthy to rank with the bravest in our service. He was in most of the Mexican battles, and received two brevets for gallantry and good conduct.

No. 1 is not a pleasant expedient for a discontented member, desirous of evading the cares of State. Nos. 2 and 3, if not open to objection, are not always open to uneasy members. Nos. 4, 5, and 6 are intended for a different class. Therefore No. 7 is the only ordinary mode of relief. A rather roundabout one it is, too. In the southern part of the county of Buckinghamshire is a range of chalk hills, embracing a tract of country fifteen or twenty miles wide, which are called the "Chiltern Hills." The country was once covered with forests, which were infested by robbers, to suppress whose depredations the office of "Stewards of Chiltern Hundreds" was established by the Crown. There are three of these stewardships. The duties of the office are now merely nominal, and the pay only forty shillings a year. The office is at the disposal of the Chancellor of t
