| A WoLF KILLED On the night of
the 9th ult., Mr.. Reuben g. Mvles, Q
rmer who lives near Renick's Valley,
succeeded. in poisoning a wolf with
strychnine. 1t is supposed, from the
number of tracks, that three wolves
were in the bunch. Mr. Myles lost
seven sheep by their depreciation, and
the ruse by which he captured the

on the end of stick and the stick set

FLAGS AND HIsTo1sIEs.
The Captured Confederate Banners to BE
Packed Away Su, OF Sight.

Packeu hwaTCut OF Sight.
Tho hundreds of captured confederate bat
tic flags which We're exhibited for q long
'eJIG the Ordnance department museum,
have been transferred for safe keeping to the
jutant generals department. While on
exhibition this collection formed one of the
most interesting exhibits at tho national
capital. They are now packed away,
which iact prompted o war de-
partmont official to remark last evening
that they were destined to become the proy
of the destructive moth or mildew unless
they we're again exposed to light and air.
While in the museum the tattered and
scorched relics of war were hung about the
capacious room. 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Lincoln will be requested to again hang
these banners on the inner walls of some
public museum.
Among the number are flags with tragic
histories. The palmetto battle flag of a South
Carolina regiment is said to have been cap
tured from remnant of the regiment who
had piled up their own dend as earthworis,
and were delivering their fire from behind
that ghastly protection A mound OF dead
bodies was piled about the staff to keep IL
upright. The flag of q Virginia regiment
was finally captured after sevon men had been
killed about it, The famous black flag
which was hoisted over Fort Pillow is also
there, and the handsome blue silk banner of
tho Norfolk Light Artillery Blues. A hand
some United States flag was rerapturea at the
fall of Richmond. The confedcratos found it
wrapped about the body of an officer of New
York rc cgiInent, who was shot while trying
TO escape with the flag he had received with
, speech not very long before from the ladies
of his native town. The remainder of the
vast collection are of equal interest.
