DEAR EDITOR--I desire to find out if any of my family are living. I have heard nothing of any of them since slave times. Before the war we belonged to a Mr. George Shackelford, who lived in Maysville, Mason county, Kentucky. My mother's name was Charlotte Alexander. I had a brother, Henry Shakelford, and two others named Martin and Burrel Shakelford. I had five sisters, Hannah, Amy, Rose, Sidney and Phoebe. I am anxious above all things to hear someting of them and know of no means so certain of reaching them as by an insertion of this in the columns of your so widely circulated paper. Respectfully, RACHEL ALEXANDER, Care Robt. R. Roberts, Mt. Vernon Church, Houston, Texas.
