General Winfield Scott Hancock, whose

achieved tie greatest distinction as q mill

kylyania Court house. AT The former battle

driven deep into the flesh. He refused TO
leave the field, howe yer, and although suf-

under tree on the line OF battle, where,

Baltimore has peculiar way to get rid OF
her supeItluoUs ours. 4 body OF thirteen
"dog commissioners" were recently sent out
Into the highways and byways, carrying
with them pieces OF poisoned meat, which
they generously gave TO every dog they saw.
The result was that dead aud dying dogs
have been seen in almost e-ery street for
week past. Nine of the commissioners"
went to the ma. Or yesterday and made oath
that they had slaughtered in this way no
less than 2,O79 ours in week. There are four
more commissioners" yet to hear from.
The city aPProprlates $500 for the dog
slayers. The eal very properly thinks that

ed and then dispatched In such a manner
that their writing agOnies OF death would

A careful examination was made of that part
of the cellar wall bordering upon the street and
at length, stone was found in suitable place
and of The proper size to admit the passing of
man after it should be taken out. The taking
out of this stone was a work of some difficulty,
especially as there were no suitable tools-but
with table knives and the handles of iron table
spoons the task was finally accomplished. This
stone was replaced very early every morning
and all traces of the operations upon it were
concealed-which was not any easy thing to do
without any suitable appliances.
The work upon ths tunnel which was to be
run to the tobacco shed across the street was
very laborious and difficult of accomplishment
1t was important that it should be as small as
possible to answer the purpose, because there
would be some embarrassment in disposing of
the earth taken from it, so as not to attract at
tention. With very imperfect and insufficient
tools, the work was boldly commenced and
pushed on with unceasing activity and energy
for many, many nights. The soil was a coarse,
hard gravel, difficult to be penetrated with
table knives and iron table spoons. and occa-
sionally stones were encountered Of consider
able size. One of these was large boulder,
and the tunnel was carried beneath it,
A tin pan was employed to take away the
gravel as substitute for dump cart. A string
was attached to each side of this pan which
contained about two quarts, by one of which,
the miners drew the pan into the tunnel, and by
the other it was drawa out by some one always
ON the spot, and its contents were scattered
over the floor, the straw and RUBBISH having
been first removed, and after the nights work
was done all this material was carefully re-.
