Volunteers, now somewhere in Virginia,
lias our tliat.ks for n package of oIU Do
minion new-papers, dating from 50 to 70
year* ago, with a bundle of deeds, politi
cal letters, bills of nej;ro sales and certifi
cates that the commissioner* of a certain
estate had divided the black e attle-s men,
women an 1 children, fairly among the
heirs. Among the papers are letters f.om
Jefferson and Madison, and Virginia news
papers dated in 1800 showing that the
old Dominion was once foremost in the
politics, sciences and arts of the country.
Wo suppose these and the like venerable
documents are t eing profusely scattered
through the coun ry as evidence that the

are attracting attention. Prices are r.ot
