Major Sam. V. Reid is very busy forward ing schemes for Southern relief. The Major always was sympathetic, good-hearted gen. tleman and believer in the doctrine of a fair division of comforts, as the few survivors of the gallant company he led in 1861 -62 can tes- tify. One of the boys brought lamb into camp once upon a time, fact which the Ma jor Chen Captain) was not long in discover ing.
 Garter" said he, 'how did you come into possession of that lamb"
 ''I killed it, Captain" was the unhesitating reply.
 ''f presume you did, sir" reioined the Cap tain, ''but don't you know that it is violation of orders to steal the property of the people ?"
 This seemed for moment to pose the lover of fresh mutton, but for a moment only, for, after scratching his head, he retorted:
 Captain, didn't steal it. The confounded beast chased me all around forty -acre field, and had to kill it in self-defense. It would have been shame to leave it there for the buzzards and so I saved the meat for my mess. will send you quarter of it after dark"
 A good many officers would have doubted the soldiers statement and confscated the meat, but Captain Ried took it all in and re- marking, Don't let this happen again, made for his headquarters, satisfied with the correct ness of Carter's statement.

 tic medicine that can be employed: cleans ing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small doses of one pill day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health.
 AYERS PILLS have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained worldwide reputation for their virtues. They correct diseased action in the several assimilative organs of the body, and are so composed that obstruc- tions within their range can rarely with stand or evade them. Not only do they cure the everyday complaints of every body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that have bafled the best of human skill. While they produce power ful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not infamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing it from the clements of weakness.
 Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to. take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
