CHARITY TUCKER, aged IA years, residing
neae~Oskaloosa, was burned to death last
Thursday. The Herrsd says: About ten
O'Clock in the morning, having occasion to
start fire in the stove, she took can con-
tanning coal oil and poured oil on the wood
not knowing that there was any fire in Abe
stove-tl>e oil took fire, communicated in an
instant with the contents of the can, which
exploded and set her clothing on fire, which
she could not extinguish. She was so badly
burned that after suffering the most excrucia-
ting agony for three hours she died.

A HORSE hitched to an Express wagon, and

A New HIsroRY OF THE Rebellion,

A New HISTORY OF THE Rebellion,
by Thomas Prentice Kettle, in one uolume,-
L. StebJins, Hartford, Connecticut. Price
$3.50, Joseph Woodroffe, Agent, st. Clairs
vile, Ohio.
To people at loss to choose among the
many works on the Rebellion, we call their
attention to one just issued by L. Stebbins,
Hartford, Ct., from the able pen of the re-
cent editor of the Army and Navy Journal.
4 perfect history of the Rebellion we can
not expect in this generation; but this is
about the most trustworthy narrative of the
avents that led to and the progress of the
war that we have sel, and it must rank
among the best contemporary authorities
It is not splurging book about battles. or
a political disquisition, but clear, perspic-
nous, easily, and compactly written account
Of the war, such as nine people out OF ten
read. As book of reference it will be high
ly valued since it contains statistics. official
documents, and care fully prepared biograph-
ical notices that every editor and politician,
at least, will appreciate. The style Is lucid,
and the method orderly, and the very sim
plicity and straightforwardnes of the mar
rative will commend it to all classes.
| Inc advantage III having sucn WORK III
one we'll printed volume will be evident to
all, even to those who do not regard the ex-
pense. Nothing OF Importance seems to be
omitted to render it complete narrative so
far as contemporary information can make it.
Although it has been long time in pre-.
paration it has all been carefully revised since
the war ended. The publication of import
ant documents, and the discovery of new
material rendered this necessary. 1t speaks
we'll for the conscientiousness of the author
that some chapters, al, for instance, tina,
relating to Bull Run, have been entirely re
written.
The study of the author and publisher
has been to present in one compact volume
as complete a history Of the war as is posi-
BILE, and thus to place it within reach of thu
mass of readers. Whatthey want now is |
clear and impartial resume fthe war. Thi
they have, so far as We can judge, in thi
volume.
1t is handsomely illustrated, contain
many maps and diagrams, and over thirt
portraits OF heroes and statesmen, and close
with full index.
