heard Of an incident yesterday, which
should make some OF our rich men
blush who are subscribing their paltry

A few days since subscriptions we're
set on foot in Orleans county. A far

that this was liberal, but il occurred 10

This practically brought up the farm

cow was destined TO do better. The
winner put her up at auction and $50
more were added TO the fund--making
the aggregate S285. But il was deem

the result was that Sl5 we're added 10

A Terrible SToRY OF TIE RI
BELLIoN.--A correspondent Of the n.
Y. Times, who dates from Springfield,
Mo-, tells the following sad tale of The
consequences Of rebellion
The tender mercies of secession
are cruel. ! have just heard the sad
story of 4 widow who has buried two
sons and a daughter since the outbreak
OF rebellion. Her three children all
tell by the hand Of violence.
She lived in the White river coun-
try--a land Of hills and Of Ignorance.
In that country, she and her family
stood almost alone upon the side of
the National Union. Her neighbors
were advocates Of rebellion, and even
before the arrival of our army in
Springfield, all loyal citizens were
warned that they must leave their
homes or die. II was little that the
poor widow bad 10 leave-a miserable
log-cabin and small patch of hillside
but such as il was, she was prepar-
ing to abandon it, when her son Har-
yey left her, in search of employment.
She packed his bundle with heavy
heart, took silk handkerchief from
her neck, gave it to him, and kissed
him goodbye, never expecting TO see
him again.
He had not been gone many days
when her prosecutions began. Her
little boy was one evening bringing in
wood for the fire, when a shot was
heard--a bullet struck the log under
his arm, and he dropped il with a
scream. The ball had just missed bis
heart. Joy at his escape from death
was thenceforih mingled with gloomy
apprehension.
Next, she heard of the death of
Harvey. He had found a home, and
fancying himself secure, was alone at
work in the field. The family with
whom lie lived were absent. When
they returned at noon they found his
dead body in the house, pierced by a
bullet. His torn cap and other signs

gle, before be yielded TO his murderer.
From this time the family of Mrs.
Willis lived in Constant fear. One
day a gun was fred at them as they
sat at dinner Often they saw men
prowling about with guns, looking for
the young men. One man was bold
enough to come intoth cabin in search
Of then. Al night they all bid in the
woods and slept. The poor woman
was one day gathering corn in the
garden and William was sitting upon
