ing the straits 10 which various Con-
federate Congressman were put in
endeavoringto escape afterthe capture

themselves as paroled soldiers, and
were transported rs such without de-
lection, on Government steamers, "a
points near their homes. OF thes,
were Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Wigfall

"But the most noticeable publica-

in my school-books. One of my

3i) Of the Evansville Courier says
On last Friday morning one Of the
most remarkable and melancholy dis
pensations Of Divine Providcncc was
manifested in this neighborhood IL
has ever been our sad duty to record.
Mr.. w. 7. Sisk, who was a farmer
near this town, while out quite carly
in the morning attending to the 'focd-
ing Of some stock, during severe
storm, was struck by lightning near
his stable and instantly killed. His
clothing was stripped from his body
in threads, his hat cut In minute
pieces, the very solcs Of his boots
torn into pieces. He was not missed
by his wife and family until break
fast was prepared, when a little boy
was sent out 10 ask him TO his meal.
The child saw him, but did not
recognize his father, 30 terrific had
been the work Of the angry element,
but brcathlessly told his mother that
some stranger was dead near the
stable. An examination, however,
proved the unfortunate father had
been victim Of lightning, and biz
family arc lcft alone--alone indeed,
lie was a gentleman respected and
beloved by all his fellow citizens.
A remarkable story is told of bi.
dream night or two before, In
which he related thst Il appeared he
had died and was summoned before
the Judgment bar Of God, and al
though he pleaded hard against The
dcrcc, he had been ordered to stand
aside.

have erected the noblcst monument
