He then ran, meantime throwing stones
at witness. one taking effect in the SIDE
and another on the elbow. Witness pur-
sued and shot at him twice-the first time
not to hit, but the second was aimed with
the intention of hitting him, which the
missile did, in the side. After running
some four hundred yards, Dunlap stopped,
threw I'D his hand and said he would sur
render. Mr.. Wren stated that he had re-
ceiyed from Dr. Hawkes. ST 900 for the
arrest and delivery Of Dunlap, and that
he was interested to the extent of $500 in
| the conviction of the defendant, to be paid
by the Commissioner of Franklin county.
SERIOUS RESULT OF CRUEL JOKE.
A correspondent in Montgomery county,
informs the Lynchburg "News" that a
serious accident occurred there Friday
evening" the particulars Of which are thus
stated
Mr.. Thomas Wilson, formerly proprie-
tor Of the White Sulphur Springs, and
now merchant at the place above named,
a small charge of powder, and handed it
to MI. S. P. Carr, with instructions to
give it to an idiot negro. with the view of
having some fun at his expense. Mr.. J.
Q. Long playfully snatched the cigar from
Mr.. Carr, and lighted it, when it instantly
exploded, tearing out three Of his teeth,
terribly mutilating his mouth, and put
ting out the right eye of Mr.. Carr, who
was standing in front of him. This I'M
expected finale of what was designed as
harmless joke has won fol- the victims the
sympathies Of the entire community, and
all is being done that can be for their COM
fort Mr.. Long was formerly citizen of
Lynchburg, and Mr.. Carr is from Alexan-
dria. Both are gentlemen of the highest
responsibility.

A nt of minstrels went to a town
not far away and advertised to give
a performance for "the benefit of
the poor, tickets reduced to ten
cents" The hall was crammed full.
The next morning a committee for
the poor called upon the treasurer
of the concern for the amount said
benefit had netted. The treasurer
expressed astonishment at the de-
mand. 81 thought" said the chair
man Of the committee, "you adver-
tise this concert for the benefit of
the poor" Replied the treasurer,
"Didn't we put the tickets down to
ten cents, so that the poor could all
come 2" The committee vanished.

Paul does not tell exactly what
was the trouble with Timothy's
stomach. He may have had the
dyspepsia, or a cancer, or have
been afflicted with ga goneness."
But old John Pierpont once said
that he never appreciated the rea-
son and wisdom of Paul's medical
advice to Timothy until he travelled
through that part of Asia and tried
to drink the water found there. Il
was so bad that wine was positive
necessity.

So small are some of the parts that

the dead; the one thought of every
man was to get away beyond the
reach of the rebels bayonets and
balls.
When the carriage reached Fair
fax Court House the old man got a
surgeon to attend to his brave boy.
The ball was taken out. The op-
Grafton was very painful, but the
hero did not finch, and when he
was told that he would die from his
wound, "no shadow" it is reported
by those who saw him, "overcloud-
ed his pale cheek, no cloud marked
the serenity of his boyish brow I;
but there, surrounded by the
wounded and dying whose piteous
groans were heard through the
room, with his aged father near to
soothe and comfort him; the white
robed herald claimed him, and
without murmur or reproach his
spirit winged its flight to eternity"
Soon the surgeons and their aids
fed in panic before the rebels; and
the father was left alone with the
lifeless body of his boy. But plac.
ing him on a musket-box lid tn,
bereaved old man lifted the corpse
into his carriage and drove on with
his dreadful load to the Capital.
Those who had seen the brave
hoy in battle had already spoken o.
his courage; and when it wa:
known that the young captain was
dead, a company of the Zouave'
marched to the Long Bridge, ant
escorted his remains to his father
house.
He was buried with military hon
ors in the Congressional cemetery.
1t is added that five of his broth
ers remained in the army, and it il
said that during the war "his white
haired father never permitted al
occasion to pass without being seel
in the van of the fight with hi
death dealing rife"
But the war is over; and there i
no need now of avenging the deatl
} of our brothers whom the rebel
slew. Yet the words of McCool
are a good motto still.
And, in the spirit of young Nc
Cook, let your motto be

says this is the way down east lum-

eat them twice day for four or five
months each year; Take one quart
of beans first soak, If pea beans,
until they are swelled full; it will
take over night certain; !; if yellow
eyes, parboil until the skins crack
open when blown on with the
breath /; drain off the water, put
about two-thirds of the beans in
the pot; put in about one and one
half pounds of salt fat pork, then
the rest of the beans bake not
less than twelve hours, first cover
ing the beans with hot water. These
are genuine Yankee pork and beans.
