The enemys camp was completely surprised, and
thrown into considerable confusion. OHing TO the
proximity of the enemys infAntry forces, Mosby was
compelled to act hurriedly. Six prisoners aud forty

they will not yield. The engineers on

LADY Flora Dead.

Mr.. A. w. Richmond's celebrated
mare Lady Flora, was killed yesterday.
He had her tied to the board fence be.
hind the stable for few minutes, prep
aratory::to coming down town with her,
when little dog suddenly bounded in
front Of her, startling her so she jerked
the fence partly down. This frightened
her still more, and she jcrked the whole
length of the fence down, and started
to run with the most OF it attached to
her halter. She had run but a few
rods, kicking at the frightful object
dangling about he, heels, till she fell, on
going to her it was found that her left
hiud leg was broken just above the gam.
brel joint. The bone was damned to q
mass Of splinters, some Of which were
forced through the hide, so that ker leg
bled protusely. A veterinary surgeon
was sent for, Who pronounced her re-
covery impossible, and said the best
thing to be done was to kill her. So
an. axe was sent for and she was knock
ed in the head. Three times the axe
was lifted, and three times she saw the
threa, sned blow and lifted her head
with an appealing look that would
bring tears to The eyes Of any man
whose heart was not made Of stone.
But there Was no alternative, and .
few sturdy blows left her a corpse.
Lady F.ora's value was anything &C
cording to mans fancy upt athous-
and dollars, and Mr.. Richmond says
he v mid not have taken that in gold
for her. She was the best horse in the
city-perhaps in Iowa-swift as the
wind, spirited as an Arab courscr, gen.
tie and affectionate as anything brute
or human could be.-Dubuque Times.
