a Military Pig.

We are indebted to Mr.. SLADE HAM
moxD Of this county, for the following Gu
rious incident, said to be well authenticate
ed by many who are yet living, Governor
Shelby having also left manuscript me
mortal Of the same:
During the last war with Great Britain
a very remarkable circumstance occurred in
connection with the invasion of Canada.
A company Of Kentucky volunteers destin-
ed for Shelby's army had their rendezvous
at Harrodsburg, in Kentucky, and formed
a sort Of nucleous or rallying point for the
military recruits Of that part OF the country.
When they marched from Harrodsburg
toward the Ohio river, having got mile
or two on their way, they noticed two pigs
fighting, and delayed their march to see it
out. After they had resumed their march,
che pig which had been the victor in the
contest, was observed to follow them. At
night when they encamped, the PIC found
4 shelter near, and halted also. The next
day the pig accompanied the troops as be-
fore; and thus it marched every day and
halted every night with the soldiers, or
near them. When they came opposite
Cincinnati, at which place the troops were
to cross the Ohio in a ferryboae the PIC on
getting to the waters edge, promptly
plunged in and swan across, and then wait
ed on the other side until the whole ortege
crossed over, and then renewed its post on
one side Of the moving column Thus the
animal kept up with the troops until they
crossed the State Of Ohio and reached Lake
Eie. On the journey, as the men grew
familiar with their comrade, it became a
pet, receiving share Of the rations issued
to the soldiers, and destitute of provisions
as the troops found themselves at times,
NJ one thought Of putting the knife to the
throlt of their fellow soldier What they
had was shared, and if the zig Jared scan
thy as the rest at times it still grunts on,
and manifests as much patriotism in its
own line as the bipeds it accompanied did
in theirs AT the margin Of the Lake she
embarked with the troops and went as far
as Ball Island. But when offered pas
sage over into Canada she utterly refused
to embark second time. Some of the
men attributed her conduct to constitution
al scrupIes, and observed that she knew it
was contrary to force military PIG over
the line She therefore had leave to re-
main. After the campaign had closed, the
troops re-crossed the Lake, having left
some of their horses on the American side
As soon as the line was formed, to the GREAT
surprise Of the troops there was the pig on
the right Of the line, ready to resume her
march with the rest. BY this time the
winter frost had set in, and the animal suf-
fered greatly on the homeward march,
She made out however to reach MaysyiIle,
where the troops re-crossed the Ohio river.
There she gave out and was placed in trusty
hands by Gov. Shelby, and finally taken to
the Governors house, where she passed the
rest Of her days in ease and incidence
There are many in Kentucky who can now
attest the truth of this remarkable story.

Alone with The Dying.

It would be difficult to find in the whole
range Of fiction more affecting incident
than is contained in the following extract
from letter written by British seaman
to his wife. 1t was his first service as a
soldier, he having been sent on shore with
a boats crew Of marines to silence fort
and take some guns:
1--WE dispersed at a few hundred yards
distance from the beach to keep the coast
clear, willie the boats crew made prizes Of
the guns. The enemy had advantage Of
the wood, and also knowing the country
well; and troop of them showed in adj
vance. We were ordered to fire. | took
steady aim and fred at my man. He fell
like a stone.
"At the same time broadside from the
went in among the trees, and the enc
my disappeared, we could scarcely tell how.
| felt as though | must 60 up to him and
see whether he was dead or alive. He
lay quite still, and / was more afraid Of
him than when he stood facing me few
moments before. 1t is a strange feeling to
come over you all at once that you have
killed a man. He had unbuttoned his
jacket, and was pressing his hand over the
front Of the chest where the wound was.
He breathed hard, and the blood poured
from the wound, and also from bis mouth,
every breath he took. His face was rs
white as death, and his eyes looked SO big
and bright as be turned and stared at me
| shall never forget it. He was fine
young fellow, not more than five and twen-
ty. | went down on my knees beside him,
and my breast fel. as full as though my
heart would burst. He had real English
face, and did not look like an enemy.
"What | felt never can tell, but if my
life could have saved bis, | believe should
have given it. / laid his head on my knee
and he grasped hold Of my hand and tried
to speak, but his voice was gone. / could
not tell word he said, and every time he
tried to speak the blood poured out; so |
knew it would soon be over. | am not
ashamed to say that I was worse than he,
for he never she'd tear, and | couldn't
help il. His eyes were closed when gun
was fired from the -- to order aboard,
and that aroused him. He pointed to the
beach where the boat was just pushing off
with the guns We had taken, and where our
marines were waiting to man the second
boat, and then hs pointed to the woods
where the enemy was concealed.
"Pcor f-low he little thought how I
lad shot him down. | was worderinr how
I could leave him to die, and 40 one near
him, When he had something like a conyul-
sion for a moment. and then Ais flce roll
ed over, and without sigh be was gone.
/ trust the Almighty has received his soul.
| laid his head gently Gown on the grass
and left him. 1t seemed So strange when
| looked at him for the last time. | some
how thought Of everything had ever heard
Of the Turks and Russians, and the rest Of
them, hut all that seemed 50 Ear of and the
dead man 50 near.n
Scenes Ike these are destined, we fear,
to be- too comaon in our hitherto happy
land.
