NOTICE FOR THE MUsIcAL.-Mason &
Hamhn's Cabinet Organs are the only in
struments that have the Automatic Bel

no other makers DARE use it. Persons wish
ing organs should be careful, therefore in
purchasing, as agents selling an INFERIOR
article, invariably represent it, to be as good
as Mason & Hamlin's when no one else ca,,
USE their ''Autonsatic. Bello,os S,ceU," the
very thing that makes their instrument so
much superior to those of any other maker.
We would advise any of our readers who
think of purchasing to visit the music store
of B. NJ. Greene Huntingdon, Pa, agent
for this County, where can be seen full as

of six weeks of hard winfes;ahead. So far,
however, the weather has been rather mild.

an one place, about 800 yards South of
the church, on the Rhea place, saw where
a large number (supposed to be l50 ut least)
of Confederates had been tumbled into Il
gully and covered up with thin layer of
dirt. The washing rains and the hogs, to-
gether, have exposed the bones here most
sadly, Many of the bones are broken and
shattered to pieces, evidently since they
were unearthed. All the other scattered

were covered up by ones, twos, threes, aud

whole field are in the same miserable con-
dition. In but one place did ] see Con-
federate grave that had not been rooted up
by the hogs. That was on the extreme
left, where, as MIR. Hargroves informed me.
there are near 800 of each side buried In
parallel trenches.
'Generally the Federal dead, as at Cor
inth, were buried at the proper depth, and
generally with head and foot boards, in
scribed with names, companies, regiments,
etc. Many of these head and foot boards,
however, have been destroyed or defaeed
by the annual fires which burn off the grass
aud leaves of those woods. | saw but one
Federal burial trench where the hogs had
upturned the bones and that was but slight
ly. They are generally buried too deep for
that. and In some places their graves are
enclosed with fences made of logs or rails.
"At the Confederate gully-grave, and mt
all the Confederate graves--or, rather, pla-
ces where the Confederate dead were
slightly covered up on the ground where
they fell, skulls, thigh, hip and leg bones,
ribs. vertebrin, etc. lie scattered around In
In all directions. In one place, ! saw where
two Confederates had been covered up in
the middle Of the road; In another, where
one had been pitched into deep rut or
hole, made by wagon wheels at the road
side, and so covered. In stlll another saw
where two Confederates had been placed
between standing trees, and then covered
up. And in still other places, they were
thrown by the side of logs (as at Corinth)
and only half covered up. In all these
places, the bones were more or less ex-
posed" .ruHH
