shed breaking a small piece out Of the side of a
pail, killing the woman instantly, and entering
the ground, throwing up the dirt. Her husband,
who was sitting outside of the shed at work calk-
ing, heard a loud reportlike a gun explosion but
had no idea OF what had occurred until his little

but bore no mark, whatever, except slight
scorching at the back Of her head. She was q
woman about thirty years Of age, and very pow

Cen. Sherman, in his chapter on the
!" Military Lessons OF the American War"
says ITO be strong, healthy and capa-
bic OF the largest measure of physical ef-
fort, the soldier needs about three pounds
gross of food per day, and the horse or
mule about twenty pounds. An ordinary
army wagon drawn by six mules may be
counted ON TO carry 5000 pounds net,
equal TO the food of a full regiment for
one day; but by driving along beef cattle
commissary may safely count the con-
tents OF one wagon as sufficient for two
days fsod for regiment OF 1000 men
and az a corps should have food on hand
for twenty days ready for detachment, ii
should have 300 such wagons as pro
vision train; and for forage, ammunition,
clothing and other necessary stores ii was
found necessary 10 have 300 more wagons,
or 600 wagons in all tor corps darH,ee.
Each regiment ought usually to have at
least one wagon for convenience in dis
tributrng stores, and each company two
pack mules, so that the regiment may
always be certain Of a meal on reaching
camp without waiting for the larger
trains.p A curious calculation OF SINH
lar nature exists, made by Tempelhof, a
Prussian General, the historian OF Fred
erick's wars: - One hundred thousand
men," he says, consume daily 1000
pounds OF -four, equal TO 200, 900 pounds of
bread. Bread and forage are seldom To be
had in sufficient quantities on the spot
hence magazines are established along the
line of operations. The bread wagons
carry supply for six days, the men for
three more In commissariat wagons
-four for nine additional days could be
conveyed--one wagon 70 100 men for nine
days, thus / 900 wagonssuppliedt the army
for that time An operation Of eighteen
days duration could thus be conducted
without an intervening magazine, but
field ovens were required TO make the
-four into bread. But bread for three
days requires two days to bake it; al the
end Of six days, therefore, halt must be
made to bake or the ovens would tall be-
hindhand with the supply; so that, in adj
vancing into an enemy's country before
magazines could be formed there, six
days was the extent of march practicable
without halt

The Bogus Charley Ross.

The northern train arrived here this
evening at nine O'Clock, bringing among

posing on the credulity Of the good
people of St. Adams, Vt. He was
in charge Of Postmaster Cosby, OF
Milford, and gentleman from st.
Adams A number OF people waited
Al the depot to see him. When he was
about an hour away from the latter place
and saw no chance of escape he came
around gradually to his former ways and
made 4 clean breast of it, and, after
some questioning on the part OF his con-
ductors. he made a full and free confes-
sion.
He said that he went to st. Adams and
other places because he enjoyed ii; he did
IL for fun. and he would do it again when
he wanted good suit of clothes. He
was afraid to 20 home, but. he knew his
parents would forgive him Nor his freak.
They knew he was able to take care of
himself. His presence in the Pullman

interest among the passengers. The boy

pecially paying him more than ordinary

when he looked up archly, and, with a
peculiar curl Of his lip, asked I:
" Which one, Charley Toss or JIM
my Blanchardt'' The story was the
subject Of conversation all through
the train, and, when it became
known that he had confessed, the
passengers came in crowds to get
a glance at him. When he arrived in this
city he was taken to the fremont House,
where he was identified by Mr.. Charles
L.. Wallace, former resident OF Milford.
A Mr.. ellis said: You fooled the st.
Adams people nicely" The boy said !:
" Yes, sir" Other questions were put
and answered satisfactorily, establishing
beyond a doubt his identity as Jimmy
Blanchard On being questioned about
his knowledge Of localities in Philadel-
phia he said that he had gathered the in
formation from various sources. He
knew the family Of Mr.. Hall Stanton, be-
cause they used TO spend the summer at
Mount Vernon, about five miles from his
fathers house, and he had become ac-
quainted with the children. From them
he had learned a good deal. Mrs. Stan
ton he had never seen, but his mother had

reputation as lias but he has not sur
prised the Milford people much. He
will go home TO his fathers house to-mor-

home for about three months, unless he
accepts the offer of Mr.. Rugg to become
his adopted child. In that case he will go
back with Mr. Kempton and make his
