from Lieut.. FA1RBRoTHER, by his wife,
giving an account Of the murder Of Lew
Is HUFFMAN and his cousin, Mr.. JOHNSON,
both residents of that place;
"They (the guerrillas) killed Rnr of
our men the other day, and the next day
fired upon and severely wounded one OF
our company. The men who were killed
were mutilated in the most horrid man
nsr, being shot several times after they
fell into the rebel hands. One of them
was young Huffman, that lived between
Brownsville and Nemaha city, another
was of the name of johnson, who used
TO be connected with tho Brownsville
Ferry. The latter presented the most
horrible sight | ever beheld equalling
anything ever heard Of being commit
ted by the most ferocious savages. lie

cut of, and powder put in his head
through the holes where his ears were,
and then ignited; his face and head were
mangled all over with boot. heels, and
bAyonet thrusts. II was a terrible pic
ture of sAvagism which did not think
oven bushwhaekers could perpetrate."

Friendly SERVICES RECoGNIzED.-W We
have information of "a cloud" and ''its silver
lining" i'll one of the rural townSto the north
west from Worcester, A small butunited re-
ligious society was deprived, illegally, last
week, when its meeting house was open to a
funeral service, of its melodeon, by two dis
affected members. Learning the fact, gen.
tleman of the same persuasion, i'll an adjoin-
ing town, notified the malcontents voluntari-
ly, if they would replace the instrument, Sat-
urday, he would pay their claim of twenty
dollars on a note of hand, given originally in
payment for the instrument. This generous
offer. however, proved unavailing, and it re-
manned for second ''lining" to be spread by
the pastor of the other church in town, on
Sunday morning, who, as the sexton opened
the church, which is opposite the clergyman's
residence, appeared in person and begged that
the sexton would do him the favor of transfer
ring his family instrument to the orchestra of
the church for the sday. One living in the
midst of such kindly services, may well say
''the lines have fallen to me in pleasant
places" even though an occasional cloud be
seen. &5@
