"a returned soldier who fought at the
battle Of Gettysburg, tells tho following
story about Q Quaker; "A Quaker who
had never fred . gun In his Life, Joined one
|of the Pennsylvaniar regiments ct the battle
Of Gettysburg. When the order Wa given
to fire, his musket refused to obey orders,
thinking that he had probably too small a
load In her, he said, ''thee wont 70 he !?
Wen, I will give thee another dose" and
down went an other load He tried again.
but it was no use, 30 No kept on loading
and trying until he had seven cartridges
down, when'one Of his comrades took the
musket, and on examinatiou, found the
tube DISTRACTED, and told the Quaker what
to do. So following the advice hs soon put
his piece in good trim. By this time the
order was again given to fire, and are he
did, at tho same time turning three or four
summer-saults. The Captain noticing this
strange man@vre, walked toward him, 1t
the same time picking up the musket. BY
this time the Quaker raised himself IN.
leaning on one elbow, and seeing the Car
tain taking up the gun, exclaimed at the
top of his voice, II pray thee, Captain,
touch it not, it will hurt thee. I have put
seven loads in it. 1t will fire six more
times, as sure as there Is . God in Israel"

Homicide &C Omahs.

HOn1Ct00 ~ Om0Ooe
The Council Bluffs NonpGrcil has the. fol-
lowing account Of homicide recently COM
mitted 1T Omaha, Nebraska. The young
soldier spoken Of il George Harvey, son Of
DR.. Harvey, Of this city:
Our neiRhbors across the river are in q
state Of excitement to-day over the murder
! Of one of their most prominet citizens,
which occurred yesterday evening. The
facts in the case, ~ near ~ We can gather
from reports upon the street, are substan-
italy a follows: Some six weeks ago, q
soldier BY name Of Harvey, Hospital Stew
ard at the post Of Omaha, eloped with q
Miss Richie, Of the same city, an account
and coming to this side Of the river, they
were married, and proceeded across the
State of Iowa, to the residence Of the young
mans father. Here he left his wife, and
returned TO duty at Omaha. The parents
and relatives Of the young lady were bitter
" opposed to her marriage with young
Harvey, and not to be reconciled; accord
in the city, he was met BY 5rother-in-law,
and, it 10 said, after being pretty roughly
handled. was ordered to leave town. This
he did not do. but went about his business
e. usual until yesterday, when he was Wis
tied BY another brothsr-in-law-a Mr..
6pencer-and informed that he must quit
the place immediately-that be had dis
graced the family Of Miss Richie. and his
presence in Omaha could not DO tolerated.
Harvey again refused to lsave, when SPen-
Ger pitched in, and commenced beating
him. Harvey offered no resistance, but en-
deavored to get out Of the way, warning
Spencer repeatedly to desist or he would
shoot him. but the assault being continued,
he drew his revolver and shot Spencer
through the heart, killing him instantly
Whether this version of the affair is correct
or not we cannot say, but it is just as we
received it from several parties who came
from Omaha this morning.
