,-Gcn Sherman has reached Miilcn,
s.Senty eight miles north of savannah
9, mnch seems to be admitted by the
Richmond papers. TO reach that point
he must have passed successfully the
OcmulCcc, the Oconce, and the Ogccchcc
Rivers, the three points at which respect
lively it was supposed the Rebels had a
chance to arrest or to delay the march Of
his columns. Once at Miilen. the march
TO Savannah down the Central Railroad,
and the highways adjoining iscomparati1e-
" easy and we are entitled to presume
that the desperate effort, heralded in the
Rebel papers, to interrupt the advance of
Sherman, has been abandoned.
We should like to believe that Gem
Sherman has rescued the great number
Of Union prisoners temporary confined at
Mllcn; but we hardly dave hope that he
has. The Rebels would use every effort
to hurry them further south, and probably
succeeded, at least with portion.

great blessing, and she prayed that they
might awaken in His blessed kingdom, if
they must perish for lack OF food
She had sweet season communicating
with Jesus, nor did she forget TO plead
forgiveness for the unfortunate author Of
her sufferings. She arose with peace
full spirit, and Immediately sought her
own pillow. she had never before had
such all>sustaining sfaith, and for long
while she unused upon Gods goodness
until consciousness was gently giving
place to sleep.
She was startled by a strange noise
above her-thump--chunk--it sounded
on the loose boards overhead near the
chimney. Then a stealthy step to the
top of the ladder-down-down it came,
nearer, nearer, to her bed, to its very
side; then something heavy dropped on
the floor, and a proud, CHEEKY, tender
m-e-ow.ow, broke the stiffness Of the
midnight hour, and "Muffy" rubbed af-
fectionately against the bed.clothes, re-
peating again and again, that pretty coax
ing call. The mother understood it, and
arose and dressed herself as quickly as
possible, opened her heap of Goals, and
lighted her lamp of pitch, and, by its
smoking light, beheld large big as
the noble cat herself, laying beside her
bed. She caught it up eagerly, with
fearful "thank God," dressed and cooked
ii, and then aroused, with heart of joy,
the famishing little ones and the incense
of gratitude that arose from those little
hearts, must have been well pleasing to
Him who sent mama to the children Of
Israel.
Dear old "Mufy puss" received cor
dial "vote of thanks" and she sat in the
corner and purred with half sleepy eyes,
while the delicious supper was being eat
en-.
Thanks were returned to the great and
glorious "Giver," and the beavenfed
family retired, and slept sweetly far into
the day. Johnny's first thought was to
examine the unfinished roof, that for once
had served a goodly purpose, though he
much wondered how Pussy managed to
crowd through.
The storm had ceased, and little after
noon the fathers Of the town." came on
strong OK sleds, bringing food and also

/ Immediately aud silently assumed a
similar attitude and think that from the
relative positions of our boots and our
heads, aud our attempts to restrain our
laughter, apoplexy must have inevitably
ensued if horrible groan which John
gave vent to in endeayoring to suppress
his visibility, had not betrayed our hiding
place.

know not what the end would have
been if John in his endeavors to appear
respectful and sympathetic, had not Civ
en- voice to such diabolical noise, some
thing between groan and horse laugh,
that all gravity was upset, and we
screamed in concert.

NY Bee Yard.
BY THE REV. JOHN TODD, D. D.


wanted to fix a nice yard for my
bees,-where they would be retired,
quiet, and undistnrbed by noise of peo-
pie. / knew they must fly over high
fences and even over houses to get out
into the country, where their food was to
be found. The only spot l had was a
mere san bank some fifty feet
square-pure sand, not green thing on
it. The first thing did was TO bring
load of young pine trees and to set out
so many that if one in four lived, it
would be enough. The next thing was
to get green turf over the yard. Ny
hives were set down close to the ground
as they always should be, and each hay
ing a roof over the white box, they look
ed like a miniature city set down on a
miniature Sahara. / asked advice, and
everybody said, sits of no use, you can't
make anything grow there
There is nothing like trying. So ]
sent away and procured a quantity of
pure white clover seed,-almost four
times the quantity grown on such space.
| next had my ground spaded and en-
riched-burying the fertilizer under the
sand. Then | sowed my seed and care
fully raked it in. This was in the early
Spring. | had done all l could and as
well as / knew how. / now waited for
the Spring rains. In due time they came.
The sands soaked them up, and l could
find no evidence that my seed was alive.
The Spring passed away and Summer
came and went and Autum came and
went, but there was no sprouting ! Not
a single clover leaf showed itself. Then
came the cold, hard freezing Winter
and where was my poor seed theh The
second Spring returned, and still no
signs Of life. "Your seed must be dead"
said one. "You will never hear from it
again" said another. "Such sand can
not give life to anything" said third.
Not knowing what to do next, l did
nothing. Now notice. Towards h e
close of Summer, 1 went away for some
weeks. On my return-lo! my yard
was covered with thick, green, beauti-
ful dress Of young clover, and much of
it in blossom 1t was a thick mating of
life, covering and hiding all the sand,
and the blossoms we're like miniature
snow balls impaled each on a green

THE Explosion AT ScnAeurrcoKr

The EXPLOSION AT ScHAGHTIcoKE.
"A most disastrous explosion took place
at the Schaghticoke powder mills, last
Saturday morning, at about 9 o'clock.
The Press House first exploded, t he
coming mill and single wheel mill fol-
lowing almost instanianeosly, with tre-
mendous shock. The report was heard
for distance of many miles Northward,
the wind blowing in that direction. 1t
was plainly distinguishable here resem-
bling the sound as coming from the Drop
ping of heavy body, dull and heavy.
Five employees were killed-John
Morgan, of Bennington, Thos. HarriDg-
ton, John Birmingham, James Hipwell,
and Patrick Nagle. Harrington and
Birmingham were in tho Press House,
aud were torn completely to pieces
scarcely a shred of their bodies being
found. Hipwell was in the coming mill,
and was also torn in pieces-only por-
tions of his head & shoulder being found.
Morgan and Nagle were in front of the
coming mill loading powder. and though
killed instantly, were not badly maDgled,
Morgan's worst injuries being bad
bruise on the back of his head. His re-
mains were conveyed TO bis home on the
evening train, his funeral being largely
attended the following day at the Meth>
odist Church. He was young man
of whom it may be truly said, be lived
but to be loved, and respected, and most
sincerely do our entire community sym
pathise with the stricken home circle,
who are thus called upon to mourn SO
deeply his death.
But small portion of the works were
destroyed by the explosion, and the loss
win not exceed $4,000 The work Of
rebuilding the buildings lost will be at
once taken in hand, it being purposed to
have them running again in six or seven
weeks. We understand Olin Scott, Of
this place has the contract for making
the machinery.-BensingtoH Banner.

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.-The priv
ate soldier in our armies fights, falls, dies
and is buried unknelled, uncoffined, and
to fame at least, unknown. The story of
his valor only his immediate comrades
can ever tell, yet that story is often more
glorious, b ett e deserving Immortality
than that of some starred Generals who
will live in history. Warren S. Smith,
of Co. G, I'd VT, who was shot in the bat
tie of the 18th and died on the 18th, was
one of these "unnamed domigods" W h o
are content in their narrow spheres to do
die. He the son of Mr.. Otis
Smith of this village, and was barely Is
years old when he enlisted in May, 1861.
From that time until the hour he bravely
met his death he was never "off duty"
single day, never incurred reprimand or
punishment of any sort, and was engaged
in every single battle and skirmish in
which his Brigade participated, and had
re-enlisted for a second term of service.
A rare record indeed even among the
bravest and most faithful soldiers, n d
which had won for this remarkable young
man a respect, almost amounting to the
reverence of his comrades. His courage
seems to have had steadiness and solid
ity beyond his yeals. At the first battle
Of Bull Run, on being k d by Col.
Whiting, whose orderly be wa at the
time, whether he was afraid to go under
fire, ha replied energetically that he was
a descendent of "Old Put" that like him,
he dared follow where any officer dared
lead him, and this with him has been no
idle boast. He was shot about noon on
the 18th, by bali which struck his hip,
glanced and entered his intestines. He
suffered most excruciating agony until 9
o'clock on the morning of the 18th, when
death terminated his suferings, and his
last words, as communicated by his tent
mate, Andrew Spear of this place, to the
bereaved parents, were "Tell my folks !
got nv death blow doing my duty
This last simple, unaffected utteranoe of
his is the key to the mans whole obarac-
ter, and to his friends must make the re-
collection of him thus early dead, sad,
but proud, very proud memory.-Bar-
lingtOR Times.
