has been going the rounds Of the press, In
which an account is given ola horse having a
new hoof grown OH by the use ola certain
farricr's ointment. Now this reminds us of
an incident that happened in Lyon, Wisconsin
A Mormon priest named Nichols professed a
great power of doing miraculous things and
compromising wonderful medicines. He made
a nerve and bone all-healing salve and thought
he would experiment little with it. He
first cut off his dogs tail and applied some Of
the salve to the stump. A new tail grew out
Immediately. He then applied some to the
piece of tail which he cut of, and new dog
grew out. He did not know which dog was
which. This may seem tough story but we
have Nichols word for It, and we don't think
he would lie.-(Exchange.

FROM THE 1sr VT. CAVALRY.

We are permitted to make the follow.
ing extract from private letter from
member of Co. " L." LIST Vt. Cavalry, da,
ted near Stevesburgh, Dec. sth:
We have had dry weather, but it has been ex
ceedingy cold, at least so it has seemed to as for
We have no tents yet. | think we only need
Vermont snow to make real Vermont weather
here. Thanksgiving day or about that time the
army commenced to move. Perhaps | may as
well tell you how we spent Thanksgiving day
here forlet me assure you that Vermont bows had
that day in mind, even here on this almost bar
ran waste-the sacred soil of virginia. We
were called up at three O'Clock to get ready to
march at daylight. We got for our breakfast
by the way our mess consisting of myself and
three others-hasty pudding with sugar and but
ter Rather romantic Thanksgiving breakfast,
1 thlnk you say, as we sat down on the ground
around bright camp fire to eat Well at day
light we were on orr way to the river where we
were treated TO Goose Eggs" as the boys call
theu-nothiDg more nor less than rebel Shells
put lhlnS they are bad things to take, and for
desert we had balls, not Goldfish balls, but MIME
balls and in the evening we were permitted to
ray pehlnd the battery as guards and pickets with
the thermometer ever much below frieeZo.
IL seemed more like 4th of July than Thanksgiv-
ing day. Well, the next day we crossed the riy er
anu uloNe the Iehels back, TAKING some prison.
ers, then fell back to our old position at dark.
The next day the operation was repeated, the
LIST VT. taking the lead. But this time an acct
deut happened that cast gloom on Go. Cor
poral John j Cook was taken prisoner, hut we
had good reason to think that he was uninured.
Wewere sorry to loose him for he was good sol
dier, always ready to do his duty, and fear pris-
on fare will go hard with him, for he has been
sick great deal this year. The prisoners we
took We're the most ragged, detected looking set
l ever saw and how they are going to live this
cold winter, cannot see. They look as though
4 they were capable of doing deeds barharians
would shuddera at. The first day we crossed the
river the skirmish line was driven back, and a
Michigan man was Killed. The cursed
heather stripped him of every thing hut his un-
der clothes in the most shameful manner!
