meted out to them according to their char
acter and record as thieves. n
Eugene o. Sullivan, charged with being
drunk and trespassing on the premises OF j..
L. Porter, was committed to Jail for thirty
days in default Of surety.
Ada Samuers (colored), charged with tres
passing upon the premises OF j. Carberry
and plucking flowers, was discharged, her
mother having given her good whipping.
William Walker was committed for thirty
days for yagrancy.
Thomas Fl. Pollock was charged with
taking possession OF a money-order for
thirteen dollars belonging to Charles Shear
craft, his app1 entice. There was no proof
that Mr. Pollock meant to keep the order.
On the contrary, he held it subject to the
demand OF the sender. But it was also
charged by Shearcraft that Pollock, who is
his uncle, had whipped him cruelty with a
cowhide. The evidence did not sustain this
accusation. Mr.. Pollock was acquitted, and
the Police Justice took the money-order
(sent by the boys sister in New York to
enable him to return home) and the letters
in the case, promising to write to Shear
crafts sister and mother for further infor-
nation as to their wishes and intentions.

10Th OF March, 1885, when, at the bait, ii
Hatcher's Run, he was shot through the
body, and left by rls (as we then thought
dead), Z" with his back to the field and bis
feet to the foe." Wetook every article from
his person, including that spoon, which bad
been struck near the end OF the handle,
nearly reversing it, and partly buried in his
flesh. The spoon, as the Yankee surgeon
said, caused the ball to defect, and SdUed
his life. Both the Captain and the spoon
were good mettie, for had the spoon broken
the ball would have gone right through his
heart was captured and carried the
spoon with me to Johnston's Island, think
ing that IL I ever got home would give 1t
to the family Of my dead comrade as pre-
cious memento, but when in August, 1866,
he returned to Richmond, i gave it to him,
and ne still has It. It is inscribed, cd.
Mixer, Charleston HOTEL" and the name
"Epps." The ball passed through his
left arm very near the elbow, struck
the spoon, passed through his body,
striking the roll of blankets which he
had around HIM, and rebounded into the
wound, from whence it was extracted
by the Yankee surgeon, and handed to
.sCharlie." He still has it-a large, conical
minnie, almost intact, except a little f1atten.
ed where it came in contact with the spoon.
For the benefit Of Mr.. Mixer, "mine host !"
OF the 4" Charleston," I would say that Mrs.
Epps is willing to pay the full ua!ue OF that
spoon il il takes all her pin-money for the
next ten years, but that spoon he neuer can
