Washington’s Good Work. George Washington’s surveying done in 1751. when as a lad of nineteen he ran lines through the Virginia wilderness for Lord Fairfax, was checked up recently by government surveyors, who found the work perfect. Washing ton, running his lines with primitive instruments and bonfires on hilltops, left monument® iu>a luvnWiries to which technically educated surveyors, using accurate modern methods, have been able to find no variation. From the top of Middle mountain, in the Massanutten range, the old Fairfax line may be distinguished without the use of instruments and, can be followed by boundary fences dating from the earliest days and by blocks of timber. Washington survey blazes, cut into the trunks of trees and long grown over, have been rediscovered, and all are several feet higher from the ground than those woodsmen of today make.

WASHINGTON FOR EXPANSION Urged Acquisition of Western territory to Keep Foreigners From Getting It. Very interesting to all spidents of American history is a ■iter from George Washington to Jacw Read of South Carolina, who served |s a major of volunteers during the Revolution, was taken prisoner and was confined for four years at St Augustine, Fla. He was afterward a meinblr of the Continental congress and United States senator. 1 The letter Is dated Mount IVernon. Nov. 3. 1784, and deals withlvarious matters intimately connected with the i future prosperity of this Luntry j Washington complains that Ipecula [ tors are recklessly seizing la ids on the northwest side of the Olio and thereby making war with the 1 ndians He then proposes a remedy: Purchase, if possible, as much land ot them Immediately back of us a i would make one or two states, accordin 5 to the extent' congress would design o ■ would wish to have them of and which may be fully adequate to all our present 1 arposes Fix such a price upon the lands so purchased as would not be.too exorb ant and burthensome for real pccupiers, >ut high enough to discourage 'monopoliz rs. Declare all steps heretofore taker to procure lands on the N. W. side ot the Ohio contrary to the prohibition of congress to be null and void, and that a*y person thereafter who shall presume Ko mark, survey or settle lands beyond he limits of the new states and purcha ed lands shall not only be considered a 1 outlaw, but fit subject for Indian vengeinca He then discusses with Igor the vital importance of opening rup the wester n territories to A meric m enter prise and colonization by mea is of wa I terways and roads. He adds: It is to prevent the trade ot he western territory from settling in tie hands either of the Spaniards or Iritish—it either of these happen there.is a line ot separation at once drawn bet re6n the eastern and western country, tl e consequences of which may be fatal To tell any man of information how fas the latter is settling, how much more apidly it will settle by means of foreign e migrants, who can have no particular pr dilection tor us, ot the vast fertility of tht soil and the population the country is c mpetent ■4o,—would be futile and equally ugatory to observe t+iaiit is by the ce nent ot interest only wecanbe held toge her If. then, the trade of that country should flow through the Missisbmpi or St. Lawrence, if the inhabitants vUereA stmuld form commercial connections wljch lead.~~~we know, to intercourse of other kinds, they would in a few years be as unconnected Xvith us, indeed more so. than we are with South America and would soon be alienated from us.

In what was considered the best game of the. season, the local five dei seated Etna Green, who claims the championship of the county, by the score of 16 and 19.
