A Grave Charge.

a NfaVe Cnarge.
Mr.. Jno. Sheppard. of Helena, swore
out warrant few days ago before
Trial Justice Carlisle. charging Mr.. n.
B. Davenport, a wealthy and respected
planter of this County, with grand lar
ceny. The preliminary examination
was held the 9th ultimo. Mr.. Shep-
pard testified that he went to Mr.. DAY.
enport's the 18th to buy cow; that be
paid for the COW while sitting on q
bench in Mr.. Davenport's porch; that
he took out two parcels of money at the
time and laid them on the porch, one
containing two 500 gold pieces; that
he did not pay out of this parcel, but
ont of the other; that he then went to
the pasture and drove the cow home &;
that at night he missed the gold; that
he had no recollection of having had it
since being at Mr.. Davenport's. The
next morning, accompanied by his son
Jno. W. and Mr.. Geo. Ropp, he went
back to Mr.. Davenport's; called him
out and asked him if he had seen the
gold, describing the parcel; 4 little son
of Mr.. Daveaport's standing by said,
Il found something like that" when
Mr.. Davenport turn to him, and said,
Hush; you know nothing about it.
Being asked about his servants, Mr..
Davenport said there were only two on
the premises that day, one was sick,
and the other was as honest as anybody.
Mr.. Sheppard then said that if the
money were not found be intended to
get detective and investigate the mat
ter; and Mr.. Davenport asked him how
long he would give.
Young Mr.. Sheppard and Mr.. Ropp
corroborated Mr.. Sheppard's testimony
as to what occurred at Mr.. Davenport's
the morning of the 18th.
The Trial Justice required of Mr..
Davenport bond to await the action
of the Grand Jury. He gave a bond,
with DR.. S. F. FAINT, Jno. r. Spearman,
Jr., and A. NJ. Bowers as sureties.
Mr.. Davenport has always borne an
unblemished reputation, and those who
know him will be very slow indeed to
believe that be would commit such an
ofense for the pitiful sum Of $40. 1t is
nothing but fair to him to say that he
is quite deaf, and that he may not,
therefore, have heard distinctly what
was said when Mr.. Sheppard came 10
see him the morning of the 18th.

away the earth as far as Mr.. Cores

their own lives. Next moment the man
was alone. Above him was the totter-
Ing avalanche, and on the south bank
stood a crowd OF people with pallid
faces. The look of despair that he gave

be forgotten. He made one more des-

nearer, to the point where he knew it

hurled down upon him. sGod help

crowd echoed the wish. Then his lips
were seen to move in prayer, and the
landslide moved faster. 1t received a
temporary check, but again glided on
toward the brink. The suspense at this
moment was terrible. A large school
opposite had just let out, and the teach
ers and children had gathered on the
brink. Men, women, and children
sobbed aloud, and some knelt in prayer.
The avalanche was now within two feet

sleeper. Slowly 1t crept; inch by inch
the point was reached; its pace quick

moment 800 tons OF earth plunged over
the brink and fell with crash on top of

Poesy for the Mississippi Brigade
Philadelphia Times.
In the march up the Valley of the
Shenandoah the abundance of black.
berries offered substantial repasts that
did us much good. One evening a vast
field of them attracted our attention
and the whole division of Anderson
were stopped per force, because there
were none left in the ranks to move
on, and went in to "flll up" General
Wilcox facetiously remarked to one of
his colonels to turn out your cattle
to graze," and when he thought they
had s1rfeit, ordered the colonel to
"drivo out his CATTLE" Passing
through the town of Charleston, Va,
the ladies of the place in their feIvor
caused General Posey to dismount and
"kissed him for the Mississippi Bri-
gade," and would not let him off
lightly. Sharpsburg was reached, and
q rest given ss for several hours, which
some Of us occupied in reveries of the
battle fought there nearly year pre-
vious. While sitting ON the porch of

quietly asked us if we did not wish for
something to eat. Asserting, we were
told to go through the gate to the rear
of the house, SO as not to attract much
attention, which we did. The lady
soon appeared with bread, milk and
butter, and delicious lunch it was.
After disposing of it we thanked her
for her kindness and started away.
She called US back and said in quiet,
dignified manner ~ have given tree
ly to you men such as | have to give,
but assure you it is not done for any
sympathy for your cause, for it is one
abhor and detest, but because |
thought you were tired and hungry.
hope to see the Union preserved and
pray it may be, without any more bat
tling, for l have dear ones in the Union
army fighting for its preservation"
The quiet dignity and patriotism of
the lady made p deep impression on
me--one that shall never forget.
One evening, while quietly trudglng
along near Berryville, an aged ne,
g-ess, leaning on fence, put the
query to us:
SIS dere any more sejers to'hind
youn'sP"
Replying in the affirmative, she
broke out again: 'Fore God,
Rebber seed SO many people afore.n
Tree days dey'ye bin passn', and now
