This recorded map has a certificate at-tached thereto by Reuben Slaughter, dated March 29, 1807, and he saysthe original plan was laid off by the surveyor of Greenbrier County,and now under the direction of the trustees I have laid off the sameand found some errors as stated in the plan. The Slaughter map and the original are not the same in manyrespects, and we suppose that the Trustees took the liberty of mak-ing such changes as they thought proper. On neither of said maps, however, there were no lots on the rivd*bank, and all that must have been without any authority. Historical Magazine. 323. 324: The West Virginia THE STONE AGE. We have received a pamphlet entitled The Stone Age whichis the subject of an address delivered before th Wyoming Historicaland Geological Society, in October. 1902, by Christopher Wren, ofPlymouth, Pa. It treats of the Wyoming Valley and along the Susequehannariver, and is beautifully illustrated with pictures of Indian Stoneinstruments. We met Mr. Wren on his trip through this part of the country insearch of the remains of Indian homes etc., and found him both en-thusiastic and entertaining, but we are disposed to think that theWooden Idol he found in our Historical Booms, puzzled him morethan any stone that he has seen for some time past. If there everwas a Wooden Age, this relic belongs to it and we shall be pleased tohear from Mr. Wren when he unraveles the mystery concerning thesame. We extend thanks for the Stone Age, and hope the author willcall again. EEGISTER OF KENTUCKY STATE HISTORICAL SOC
