present. The proceedings Of yesterday
were read and approved.
Sergeant Ernest Kimmer, company
X, Fourth infantry, was called by the
prosecution, and testified in substance
as follows:
Received orders On the 18th day of
July to escort Major Wham to Fort
Fetterman. Reported to him for that
duty between the hours of 3 and 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, but had not
my escort with mt at that time. Took
the escort there afterwards. Did not
show my orders to Major Wham. There
was n prisoner to go along with the es-
cort, but / did not take him over to
Major Wham's camp that day. l did
not take him there becauseI considered
it safer to let him remain in the guard
house that night, and intended seeing
the o~ficerof the day to procure an or
der for the prisoner, and take him out
at 4 O'Clock in the morning. When
speaking to Major Wham relative to
the prisoner, he said he did not know
anything about u prisoner being taken.
along, and told me the prisoner could
not go. | was ordered afterwards to
take my escort back, but was told by
Major Wham. to remain where / was,
as l was under his instructions. l
finally returned to the post and report
ed back again, under Lieut.. Brown, at
about 5 O'Clock next morning. We
did not start from there to Fort Fetter-
man until the third day following these
events. The prisoner was with the es-
cort when we returned to Major
Wham's camp under Lieut.. Brown.
The prisoner was the best behaved man
in the guard house, and did not require
much guarding-he was an old soldier,
and expected to get his pay at Fort
Fetterman.'
Cross examination-"I did not take
the prisoner to Major Wham's camp
when l first went there. L went there
for instructions, and was told by the
'aceused to bring my escort there.n
"Was the order relative to the prisoner
a part of the escort order, hat you had
shownsto Major Wham ~previonsly?"
mo, it was "A separate order, there
were two separate orders, one relative
to the escort, the other referring to the
prisoner" "When you left Major
Wham's camp in the afternoon was the
Fort Russell escort there?u They
were, | think, all there.,M H.
f. l.. Greene, the wagon master ut
Fort Laramie, was next called, and in
substance testified: about the date
in question, l received orders to report
two light wagons, with four mules each,
to the accused. Idid SO, and told the
accused that they had been ordered for
his use. y He said he did not need them,
and did not want them in his camp.
The wagons were to go to Fort Fetter-
man and return from there. l do not
know whether it is usual or not for
escorts to go beyond the next fort with
paymasters. i know of one case where
they did. 1 would have furnished more
wagons at that time had they been or
dered or required.''T III % y
Cross examination-'tI saw Major
Wham about IL O'Clock in the day. He
was not paying troops at that time, he
had finished"

How Diphthcria was Spread.

A few weeks ago little girl in St
Albans, who had just recovered from
diphtheria, was taken by her parents &c
visit family in a neighboring town
She slept with the children in tina,
family, and shortly afterward three OF
tour of them were taken with the
malady, and some have since died.
The tamily permitted relatives and
neighbors to visit them and the result
is several cases in the nelghborhood.
They had public funerals, even keep
ing the remains of ore child an Unusual
time, waiting for another to die, so as
to bury them together and this also
spread the cont asion. The physician
was not powerfully impressed-as
some physicians are not-with the
contagious character of the disease,
therefore did not take the necessary
precautions for the protection of the
neighborhood or of his own family,
and the result is that one of his child
rem died and another is dangerously
i'll. A lady who went to one of these
houses to robe the victims for the
grave has called at houses in the
vicinity where there are children,
without any change Of her garments
or any attempt at disinfection, and
has fondled the children in those
families, apparently in utter igno: ance
of the danger to which she was ex-
posing them St Albans Messenger.

Down on our forms, aud darker all

IL round our own sad footsteps made
And they are bright aud clear,
The dead alone arc hlest
While they arc here. clouds mar tho day
Aud bitter snow falls nip their May
Int when their tempest time Ia done,
The light aud heat Of heavens avn sun
Brood on their land Of rest,
