Lees Army,


Henry Ward Beecher says in the con-
cludihg chapter of his novel:
"He (the hero of the story had had
part in the last grand battles, stormed
Lee lines, earned every step by desper-
ate endeavor, and after every advantage,
found Lee still firm, defiant, desperate
No one SO we'll knew the incompatible
skill and bravery of that now waning
army of Northern Virginia as they who
for four years had fought it, and now, in
the hour of its supreme disaster, were
grinding it to powder rather than forcing
its surrender; aud, when, at length, cut
off from its lines of retreat by that lion
of the battlefield, whose ramping cavalry
lay crouched across his only path his
artillery gone, his trains taken or de-
stroyed, his ammunition expended, his
chief officers slain, or wounded, or cap
tured, his meR reduced to q handful,
oyerwearied by nights without sleep and
days taxed TO the utmost. Lees army
yielded. Gen. Catheart, and every
other brave man, in their admiration
felt that the heroism Of Lees army was
the only worthy measure of the perse-
verauce and bravery Of the army of the
Potomac. In every generous bosom
rose the thought These are not
of another nation, but our citI
zens Their mistakes, their evil cause,
belonged to the system under which they
we're reared, but their military skill and
heroic bravery belong to the nation,
that will never cease to mourn that such
value had not heen expended in better
cause, and that the iron pen must write
The utmost valor misdirected and
wasted. ;"

A Child DeYoured BY Snakes.

The Oswego IN. Y PaHadtuna of the
10th, inst, relates the following: 'In the
early part of August last a little girl named
Eliza Drummond, about eleven years of age,
whose parents live near the town of West
Monroe, in this county, left her home one
morning for the purpose of picking berries,
and never returned. The most diligent
search was made for her by the parents and
nelghbors. but no traces could be found.
The event, which created profound sensa-
ton at the time, had almost passed from the
minds of all save the stricken parents, when
1t was painfully recalled by recent occur
renee. On Tuesday last five or six lads went
out hunting hi the vicinity, and, during the
day, came upon spot where large num-
Der of black snakes were discovered and Kill
led. The appearance of the reptiles in such
numbers, and at this season of the year, was
considered remarkable, and itwas suggested
by one OF the party that breeding den
must be somewhere near A search was
Immediately commenced, which resulted in
a manner far different from their expecta-
tions.
In the side of little hill near the edge of
swamp was found a sort of opening, which,
in the summer, was concealed by fall grass
and bushes. In this opening was found
human skeleton, from which every particle
Of flesh had been taken The bones we're
as white as ivory, and all perfect Near by
was tin pail, in rusted condition, and a
tin cup. The boys were terribly frightened,
and gave the alarm. The remains were ta-
ken from the mouth of the den, and an ex-
animation showed that the place had been.
and probably then was, a breeding place for
black snakes. The boldest hesitated to en-
ter. The entrance, which was large enough
for the admission of mans body grew
smaller and tended downward Lighted
balls of hay soaked in kerosene were thrown
into the cavity, and in less than fifteen min
utes eightytwo snakes, ranging in length
from one and a half to four feet, were killed
The pail and cup were recognized by Mr..
and Mrs. Drummond as those taken by their
child when. she went away for the last time.
The physicians pronounced the remains those
OF female child, and there can be no doubt
but that the poor little girl, while picking
berries in the vicinity of the spot, became
tired, seated herself in the shade of the
opening to this horrid den, was attacked by
the reptiles in numbers and killed Tie
discovery has shocked the whole community.

Fort Phil. Kearny Massacre.

The Republicans St Joseph special of
Mar.h Goth gives the following account of
the Fort Ihil. kearney massacre, derived
by the Commission from some of the Crow
Indians, who received it from the Sioux
The Sioux drew our men out OF the fort
and killed them All our men fought like
tigers and could not have been mastered so
easily had they not kept so closely together
The combatants were so mixed up that the
Indians shot arrows and killed several of
their own party The bravery of our bu-
gler is much admired, he having killed sew
eral Indians by beating them on the head
with his bugle. They say there were only
sixteen Sioux and four Cheyennes killed on
the field, but after they encamped ninety
four warriors died of their wounds, and
three hundred others wounded, half of whom
they expected wouldsdie One big Sioux
Chief was among the killed. They mention
one man, on white horse, who cut off an
Indians head with a single stroke of his
sabre, and they say that when reinforce
ments left for the battle-fe they, the In
dians,. left, having had enough fighting.
There were 1900 Indians engaged in the
fight, and the strength of the concentrated
tribes is reported at >, 800 lodges, which are
now moving towards the Yellow Stone and
Missouri rivers.

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Thursday, March
Mrs Joshua Rankin, of North Strabane
township, Washington county, started with
her babe, child FIVE months old, to visit a
-neighbor named Hixon, some quarter of a
mile distant. When she crossed the second
field frefn her home, and was about to cross
the fence, the child cried little, and gave
signs of uneasiness The mother paused a
moment at the fence, to give suckle to the
boy, after which it became quiet again.
Upon reaching the house of her friend, the
lady reached out her arms for the babyw when
to her surprise and the almost frantic grief
of the mother it was found to be dead. A
physician was called, who failed to discover
the cause of its sudden death but assuring
the mother, at the same time, that it had
not been smothered by too close wrapping.
The name of the boy was Joseph Lawrence,
son of Joshua Rankin, Post Master at Beck S
Mills, Washington county.

Selest 9oetry.
THE LONG AGO.

On that deep retiring shore
Frequent pearls of beauty lie,
Where the passion waves of yore
Fieroely beat and mounted high;
Sorrows that are sorrows still
Lose the bitter taste of Woe:
Nothing's altogether i'll
In the griets of long ago.
Tombs where lonely love repines,
CHASTITY tenements of tears,
Wear the look of happy shrines
through the golden mist of years.
Death. to those who trust in good,
Vindicates his hardest blow.
Oh we would not, if we could
Wake the sleep of long ago
though the doom of swift decay
Shocks the soul where life was strong,
Though for frazier hearts the day
Lingers sad and over long,
Still the weight will find leaven,
Still the spoilers hand is slow,
While the future has its heaven
And the past its long ago.
