WHO KILLED RENO?
An Alabama Confederate Declares be IS
the Man.

From the Central Albanian.
Learning that the nan who killed
Gen. Reno was q confederate soldier, a
citizen Of Wetumpka, and in person
our friend Mr.. Josiah Simmer, we
called upon him to learn the particu-
lars.
"Mr. Skinner, | learned yesterday
that you were the man who killed Gen.
Reno. and have called to get the partic-
ulars of the account from you,
"All right; / will give you the facts,
and tell them SO that II there Is any
doubt about 1t they can easily be con-
tradicted. Early on the morning Of the
battle of South Mountain, Maj. E. S.
Ready vas ordered to take command of
his old company, which he organized
here aud of which he was captain, and
to deploy them a sharpshooters on our
extreme left, SO as to prevent a flank
movement Of the enemy. Near where
we were placed wal a house, just be-
low which was a shoe shop. Myself,
John Wilson, T. Nichols, and Maj.
Ready occupied the shop. While In
there 1 saw an officer, Of what rank
did not known, at a distance of about
two hundred PAGES, cautiously approach.
ing the shop along a hog trail. He
would stop every few minutes as il
listening. He carried his hat In his
hand, and his sword In his right, using
it as a stick. I called Mai. Ready's ut.
tention to him, and he ordered me moi
to fire until he approached carer. In
the side of the shop was q small win.
dow Of four small panes, which we
broke out, and in which Nichols, vii.
son and 1 rested our guns. When the
officer had approached to within twenty
PAGES of the shop Maj. Ready ordered
me to fire. I did 80, hitting him neal
the pit of the stomach. He fell. I'm.
mediately a soldier, whom l supposed
was n Of his body guards, sprang to
his assistance, anu was shot down by
Nichols. He was then surrounded by
his men. We all then attempted to es-
cape, but were all captured except my
self. Maj. Ready, Melodies, and myself
were wounded.
After being captured Maj. Read,
requested to be taken by the place
where the officer was shot, and asked
the litter-bearers who he was, and wa.
informed that it was Maj. Gen. Reno.
"After Maj. Ready's return home he
told me whom l had killed and CON
graduated mi for 1t. OF course. I do
not know that 1t was Mai. Gen. Reno,
but Maj. Ready was my informant, and
told me how he gained his informa'
tion."

EDrroRs Of religious papers do not

praises lavished upon Colorado as a re-
sort for consumptives, and only prove
how egregiously ignorant these speak,

matter has begun to accumulate in the
lungs, no climate, however healthful,
can alone effect a cure. A thorough
course of medical treatment is required
aided by such hygenic measures as the
condition Of the patient will permit.
The scrofulous matter must be absorbed
and expelled from the system by the
use of sufficient alternatives. DR.. Pierce's

agent for expelling %scrofulous matter

WooDNAN, spare that tree. The cry
comes from far-sighted people Az over
this land. Our timbef is growing
scarce. Railroads consume II 1000, 600
ties every year. That is equivalent to
10000, 600 feet Of oak lumber, board

On Saturday last about 3 a. m,, we

Jail contained as prisoners at that
time man by the name of Robert

Douglass who is the person mentioned
in your last issue as having stolen the
watch and money at the Island Pond
House. The alarm of fire was given
by these prisoners which brought the

save their lives, who being free rush.

but the jailer's wife coming immedi-

from which as the fire approached
they were taken and put under guard.
ellis broke away from his keeper and
ran. Douglass asked permission to
go and assist in capturing him. The
crowd pursued Glllis, co:nered and
captured him, and the last we saw OF
them was in company with Sheriff

Johnsbury Jail. Much credit is due
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall for their conduct
in guarding the prisoners while their
own property was being consumed by
the fire. There was no insurance on
Halls goods, part of which were
saved. The building was insured for
81 900, which will only partially cover
the loss to the public who may we'll
be congratulated that the professional
gentleman especially is no longer at
large. The fire is supposed to have
been set by the prisoners. LEO.

Su(IIen Changes.

The proprietors of DowN's ELIXIR
frequently hear it remarked by those
not in the trade, that cough medicines
do not sell much during the summer
months. This is a mistaken idea.
The sudden changes to which this
climate is subject at all seasons of the
year, renders it necessary to always
have some reliable cough remedy at
hand. DowN's ELIXIR is q sure cure
for Coughs. Colds, and Whooping
Cough, and all lung Diseases when
taken in season, and one dose, we have
no doubt, has many times prevented
consumption and death. The best
certificate that can be gwen for any
medicine is daily accorded to Downs
ELIXIR in the fact that it has survived
the storms aud tempests Of nearly hall
a century, and is to-day the most pop
ular with those who have known it
longest. 1t has gained this great ia.
vor with the public entirely on its own
merits, having had less advertising
done for it in the whole time than is
done for some medicines in a single
year. For sale everywhere.
