gun into the heart of Johnny, the only
object that interviewed between him and
the special object of his hate.
When the fiends fred the jail, to drive
the patriot family forth to their death,
Mrs. Chisolm and Clay carried the body
of Johnny; while Cornelia shielded her
fathers body with her own, trying to pull
4 him out of the range of the guns, with
one arm around his neck, the hot scald-
ing tears mingling with the blood that
ran down her girlish cheeks. She cried
to the man who presented the first gun
"Oh Mr.. Gully, if you must have blood,
pray you, take my life, and spare my
darling papa, who has never done you a
wrong" The answer to this appeal was
a heavy shot from the monsters gun.
which struck heavy gold bracelet into
her arm. 1.-The bullet shattering the bone
from the wrist to the elbow. Shot and
bleeding from score of wounds, she still
clung with one remaining arm to her
beloved father, while with her wounded
hand she tried to push aside the guns
leveled at his breast" Thus defended,
he was shot from front and rear. AS his
wife caught his falling body, he whispered
to her: my precious wife, l am about
to die. But when | am gone, l want you
to tell my children that their father nev-
er did an act in his life for which they
need to blush or feel ashamed. These
men have murdered me because | am a
Republican and would live free man" i"
Fifteen large duck.shot and one buck
shot were thus lodged in Cornelia's leg
while another passed through the counter
of her shoe into her foot This was
overlooked, in the multiplicity of her
other in juries, and never was discovered
until after her death-though before
that time her heel had become very much
swollen and infamed-when, upon the
examination of the shoe. the place where
the shot entered was found A missile
of some kind also struck her hip, causing
severe and painful sore. Her bonnet
strings, which were tied in bow knot
under her chin, were nearly severed by
shot, which thus narrowly missed her
throat. These ribbons only hung togeth-
er by the hem on one side, three separate
balls having passed through them.
Thirty bullet holes were counted in the
skirts of her clothing, which was a mass
of blood, from the little silk hood which
she wore on her head down to her shoes.
On receiving the last charge, she ran
back to her mother, exclaiming: "Oh
mamma, they have shot me again!' This
was the first and only exclamation she
made throughout concerning her own
wounds
AS if all this mutilating were not
enough, while she was descending the
stairs, torn and bleeding, devil in the
shape of a man struck her upon her
cefin, the marks of this more than brutal
blow were plainly visible.
If it were necessary to give a reason
for the memorial services held last Sab
bath for this martyred family, it can be
found in the facts which attended their
real burial:
within sight of three Christian
churches, one after another the victims
sank and died; and not minister of
