The "Night:Hawk" referred to' on thetitle page, is an Erglish blockade run-ner which ministered to the States of the
.Confederacy during the "civil war" and
made several successful expeditions: toWilmington^ N. C, and other coastwisetowns of the South. j
-;...The captain of the vessel'was an Eng~:jlishman,;and though he; sympathized -with]
those who wore the gray, we are ledHo',believe that It was money rather thanlove of the cause which.prompted .himto face so many dangers. Irideed, thereis nothing .admirable in the- man's char-acter and on the whole" he is uriinterest-'ing and unattractive. . . -..
The most prominent figure in the novelJs Mrs.' Antoinette. Le Moinej-the woman—.'a Confederate agent
—whose •and

for -the people of the .Confederacy ;;inforeign lands. The plot, in fact, hinges

I FRANK HAREGK, Manager. JJant a story as the rest, for Itdealslwiththe hereditary insanity of one of the firstfamilies; caused by continual Intermar-;
riage. "Samuella" Is a sweet little lovestory, 'charmingly told. "iMarthy1
'.is a
touching instance of the life-long;devo-\u25a0
tion of a "mammy" for her boy.;Inithiscase the ci.-:- is a foundling, believed.by
:her tobe directly sent from-God. Through
her efforts he is well educated and finally ;becomes one of .the. .wealthiest :men"; in
New York.' After the.war "mammy" fol-lows" him:.to his home, and ends by.be-
coming his children's nurse. The devo-tion so common to the : race, and -her
• stony grief when she is at first unable\u25a0tofind him, is most pathetic. "The Lethe:Mystery." is one of the few ghost stories
that are: never explained. It is quitecreepy, and has a ,delightful' little love
Element interwoven with it. Some of the
stories we have riot mentioned, but theji
are equally as -good in every respect as
those we have. . , ,. ,'Taken In \u25a0> all, we consider "In Our
County" a delightful contribution to Vir-ginia literature..
