musket half-cOcked, and was startled by
every rustic the wind made among the
trees and dead leaves. 1t was some time
after midnight that [ saw a Cofederate
cavalryman dashing along the opposite
side of the creek in my direction. As
he was opposite I fired under the horse
and it fell. The cavalryman regained
his feet in a moment, and had drawn his
pistols. called to him to surrender, but
only reply was q discharge from each
revolver. one bullet inflicting a flesh
wound in my arm. Then 1 let him have
it full in the brest. He leaped three feet
in the air and fell with his face down.

and layed him on his back. The blood

won the reputation of being lazy. He
poarded at the hotel until the landlord
concluded he was fraud and had him
arrested and sent to jail. A day or two
ago the Sheriff had some prisoners en-
dloyed in shoveling snow, and asked the
"boarder' to assist, which he refused to
do. The heriff then gave HIM the choi-
ce of shoveling snow or being shot, when
he calmly declared that he would prefer
being shot. The sheriff, with the assist
ance of one of the attaches. then proceed
ed to shoot him. A gun was procured
and loaded with blank cartridge, The
prisoner was to stand in the corner of
the cell, with his face to the wall, while
the Sheriff stood near him with a lare,,
book in his hand, and another party was
in the cell with the gun. The word was
given, the gun discharged, and the pris-
oner hit in the back of the head with
