Foolhardiness. .-we have heard lrsqaenl


accounts of the adverturousness Of our pick
cts but the following foolhardy exploit GER
tainly throws all others in the shade: '
When our troops first penetrated into the
southern part of Kentucky, our pickets we're
almost constantly skirmishing with those Of
the rebels These conflicts were on small
scale, yet they sometimes brought about inn
portant results When Gen. Thomas Divis-
ion was in the vicinity of Somerset, the 35th
Ohio was out on picket one day, their posi-
ton being along fence skrtng a tbieket,
while the pickets Of the enemy occupied the
woods few hundred yards in front, an open
field intervening.
In the field, between the combattants, was
a solitary tree, about 30 yards from the enc
emy's position. During the day a lieutenant
who had remained in camp on duty, came out
to the regiment to see what was going on.
lie hooted at the report that the enemy were
in the woods in front Of them, and offered to
"bet hundred that he could go over TO the
aforesaid tree, and return again safe and
sound.
The wager was accepted, and the lieuten-
ant started up the line of fence to the right
and soon disappeared in the bushes and he
was hid from observation so long that the
boys concluded he had given over his hair
brain attempt and returned to camp; and the
remark was passing around that M. wasn't
quite as big fool as he was supposed to be,
when he was seen to be making his way eau.
tiously across the field towards the solitary
tree -r4
When the wager was accepted no one sup
posed that the lieutenant was really in earn
est about crossing the field, for he had been
solemnly assured that number of the enemy
had been seen in the woods just before he
arrived but it seemed that his avarice had
totally eclipsed what little prudence he pos
do to recall him from his crazy purposei for
should they warn him the enemy could also
hear it, end it would surely bring their FIRE on
him, and also expose their own position to
the rebels. He had nearly reached the tree
when three shots were fred at him in rapid
succession, and he suddenly dropped 20 the
ground!
1t was believed that he had been killed, for
he remained motioness; but he agreeably
astonished his companions by jumping up
in few moments afterwards, and running to-
wards the point at which he had entered the
field, while the rebel pickets kept up pop
ping at him as though he was target-for-
tunately without hitting him
When the foolhardy fellow rejOined the
boys, a few minutes afterwards, he was very
pale, and very nervous, and had forgotten he
had made bet; an oblivion he would scarce
ly have reached had he won the wager
