During the last two weeks 264 men
applied at the Temporary Home for
dinners, all of whom refused to work
the required two hours at saving wood
before their hungry appetites could be
appeased, and went away grumbling be-
cause their wants were not supplied.

WAR INCIDENTS.
p. P in.

In his Report of the Operations OF tho
Army Of the Shenandoah" General Sheridan,
in speaking of MOsby's partisan rangers, says:
Upon one occasion, IN afterterncon in the
last days OF August, when our army had halted
and got into position for the night near
Charlestowu, aud while under tho strictest
orders to be ready to form. line and fsht
battle at moments notice, one of our SOL
diers was wounded By guerrilla, who de-
liberate!y rode up within rod of line OF
stacked arms, fred his carbiue at knot Of
meE !!eEnging about. and gallnne31 of before
musket could he brought to bear upon him.
Nobody had thought Of taking him for any
other than a stray cavalryman from one of
Clusters regiments, or an orderly from head
quarters until astonished By his shot and es-
cape II was about this time that General
Emory had a very narrow escape from capture
by these mersuders. His headquarter teuts
were being put up for the night, when dozen
horsemen rode rapidly through the enclosure,
| discharging their carbines right and left, and
disappeared before the sst0uished officer in
command of the headquarters infantry could
get his company under arms. The guerrilas
| took no prisoners and thei: shots hurt no one.
l presume the whole thing was piece of
deyil>may>care recklessness, without any OBJ
| ject except to ''show off" But had they
known that they were passing within few
| yards Of where the Major General who COM
| manded one-third of this army was lying, no
doubt they would have made a desperate
| effort to take him.

WHEN TO TRIM HEDoE.-Any time from
now until the buds fully start iu the spring, is
n good time to trim hedge or other kinds of
timber for rapid growth Of wood during next
summer. In fact, where large proportion
of the top is to be removed, there is no safe
period for doing the work. except during the
latter part of winter or carly spring. As the
present is comparatively slack time, it will be
well to look otter the hedges, 50 that other
important work may not be interfered with
late in the season. Rsstern Rural,

MOODY AND sANKEY RELICS.

The contents of the depot church at Phila-
aelP6ia, which has been occupied by Messrs.
Moody and SanEey, were sold at auction
recently, and brought in some instances
extraordinary prices. There was large
crowd present, many ladies dropping in To
see the last Of the depOt's history, aud there
were on the platform almost all those who
had during the stay Of the revivaiists taken
an interest In their work, including Mr..
clergy men, and members OF the Young
Mems Christian Association. The first arti
cles put up were walnut and green rep
lounge. and Spanish chair to match, used in
the retiring room of the evangelisfs. These
Drought prices far above their value. A few
articles of minor importance were then
knocked Off, and the towels used by the revi
yalists were taken up. Mr.. Shaw handled
them In reverential manner, announcing
the great importance attached to them as
relics, and asked some one to start them.
"One dollar" said another. Two, three,
four, and finally five dollars apiece
was bid for the two used by Mr. Moody,
and knocked down to MI. Jounstone.
Now" said the auctioneer, ~ have the
towels used by Mr.. Sankey, HeG much am
bid? Two dollars, three dollars, 1--WE, fiye
and half!-Mr: George II. Stuart gets them
at FIVE and half apiece!" Mr.. Moody's
platform was announced, and IL was con-
cluded TO sell platform, Bible rest, crimson
plush on tie pulpit, piece of ingram carpet
on the pulpit, and speaking tube from the
platform 10 Mr.. Moody's room ali in one lot.
One hundred and ten dollars was bid, fol-
lowed by S1l6, and IL was knocked Off TO Mr..
Joshua l.. Bailey at s125, who seemed TO ex-
perience considerable pleasure in securing
tUis relic. "The next article, gentlemen"
said MIR. Shaw, sis the oak cane-seat chair
used by Mr.. Moody. Will you give 500 for
it?'' Mr.. Stuart arose and stated that he
would guarantee this as being the chair used
by MIR. Moody. On this anuouuc cement the
bidders started or with 81, IS, SIS. $50, So,

BRACE OF DOG STORIES.
A Faithful Brute fa BnHalO-An In
teIlfSent Animal In Troy.

The Buffalo Advertiser says:-"On Thurs
day Mr.. StambacB, residing on the Ham
burg turnpike, called at No police station
and reported to Captain Flanagan thai a
large Newfoundland dog. attached to hand
wagon, had been standing on the turnpike,
about mile from the city. since Tues lay
morning, and refused to move, Though some
one had released him from the wagon, which
was partially filled with willow branches,
evidently cut by the dogs master, from
grove in the vicinity. THIS morning il was
ascertained that the animals owner was
Andrew Selrick, baSket-maker; also, that
on Wednesday night he had been arrested by
an officer OF the second precinct, and yeSter-
day morning committed to the workhouse
for thirty days in default of a fine. IL Is be-
lteved that being cold, andrew left the dog
and wagon to 'get a drink and that he took
number OF drinks, till he became intOXi-
Gated and forgot al about his property. The
circumstances are remarkable. and afford a
good illustration of the faithfulness of a
brute who had stayed for three days without
food, waiting FOR his master, as opposed to
the masters dissipation and neglect"
The Troy Wing gives the following in It's
issue OF Saturday: Yesterday a little girl
was sent TO a store with a t9o-dollar bill to
make some purchases. The child on her way
TO The store lost her money, and returning
home told her father OF her ill-fortune. He
at once went out in search OF the missing
cash. While prosecuting his search he was
accOstet by lad named Ryan, living near
by, VITO OF learning what was lost req UeStei
the gentleman to show a bill to the dog that
was with the boy, and apparently interested
in what was going on, and assured the gen.
tiefnan that the uO9 would find the lost note.
The gentleman, with some iucretulity pre-
scented note for the Inspection OF the deg
which the latter seemed 10 examine intelli-
gently, and then The boy sent the canine o.
search. Shortly The sagacious animal re
turned, but with no bill, and the gentleinan's
look of incredulity became quite positive;
but the boy asserted that the bill was not on
the street. Had IL been there, the boy main
tanned, the dog would have found 1t, and TO
yindicate the high reputation Of his pet,
asked the gentleman 10 place bill on the
street at considerable distance and UnOb-
served By the dog, which was done. More
money was exhibited and the dog sent out at
RAJ dom. In few minutes the SagaciouS az
fmal returned with the noe. IN the mean
time Ar. Il TGHnard had found the iOst note.
TIE remarkable sagacity OF the dog being
told, Mr.. TUnnard heard of the story ana
promptly restored the money TO It's owner.
a com paTisoB OF events left no doubt that
he picked up the bill before the dog was sent
