CLYMAN.

On Thursday morning G. Henke, while
going to his barn to milk, was way-laid
and severely injured by Carl Lohman,
one of his farm hands. He was struck
on the head with heavy stick of woo6
inhlcting wound some seven inches in
length and two in width. His wounds
were dressed by DIR. Moulding, of Water
town, who pronounced them very severe.
Lehman had entertained some i'll feeling
towards Mr.. Henke for some days previous
over some purely imaginary wrong done
him, but it was never supposed he would
seek revenge in such an inhuman way as
he did, Hewas arrested and had his ex-
animation before Justice Beckmann, OF
Watertown, who bound him over to the
circuit court in the sum of $1,000. As
bail could not be procured, he vas lodged
in the county Jail at Juneau, where he
will no doubt have ample time to reflect
over his past conduct.

Tillamook County is a strip along the coast
south Of CiatsOp County, the latter being the
northwestern County OF the State. The County
is 70 miles long north and south, with an aver
age width of 30 miles. IL is very sparsely set
tied owing to its isolation heretofore but a
schooner freight-line has been put into service
between IillamoOk Bay and the markets of
Astoria and Portland. / do not believe that
any section of Oregon offers better advantages
to the settler Of small means than Tillamook
County. The country is finely adapted to
small farming and dairying and stock raising
and land is literally " dirt cheap" The timber
of Tiliamook County will be u source of great
wealth when it shall be made use Of, and that
cannot be long delayed. There is plenty of
cure comfortable home for themselves in this
County. Uncle Sans land is here in plenty,
only waiting to be taken up. So, young man,
why will you toll and sweat and labor in the
East for SIG month, with no prospect of bet
tering your worldly condition so long as you
stay, while ii you come here and take home in
the forest of Oregon, in three years time you

company and regiment until discharged at
Louisville, KY, July p, 1865. But this is not

On the Grant campaign Of the Winter of
1929, for the reduction Of Yicksburg from
the north and rear, my regiment composed

sixth Division, Army Of the Tennessee We
left our camps near Grand Junction Tenn on
q Winters day and moved out after the enemy.

the neighbOrhO0d of the Talahatchie River
We had the advance, moved early, and at this
time Ia our lives as soldiers had about as much
sense as a maiden chinch" Onr knapsacks
were plethoric, as every man carried a change
Of Undertaking, dress-coat, and the usual
amount of combs, pins, thread and needles, ETC.

But 70 my story. We marched all dav. and

man in the regiment was 50 exhausted that
there was little if any preparation for supper:
but we took our " sowbosom and scraped il 10
make butter for the bareback, built Ores from
the rails Of the fence, and retired about as
weary IS one ever becomes.
The writer was q drummer-boy, and we of
the band were close to the headquarters Of the
regiment. We selected a corner Of the fence
where the grass, which had been luxuriant,
but was now withered and dry as finder, led
us 10 think il would be better sleeping than
the burrows Of the cornield. We built a roar
ing fire Of rails, and lay down TO dreamless
sleep.
But this was not to last long; for as soon as
the rails had burned down the dry grass caught
fire. and in a few moments had enveloped the
writer, burned his blankets and the seat en-
tirely from his pants, and not until the flames
came in contact with his flesh did he awake.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Illinois
boys we're used 10 good living at home, so that
the diet furnished BY our generous uncle was
surprise to the palate Of the Sucker" So
long as they remained in Gods country it was
simply matter for testing; barter, gift or
purchase supplied the daily need, but when
they got fairly In the field IL was 10 joke at all.
The Il5th Illinois was commanded by Colo

though the doctrines expounded differed wide
~ be couldn't for the life of him drop into
approval or even acguiesccnce in that easy way
the boys had Of supplying DEFICIENCIES. His
righteous soul was vexed continually. IL the
Fall of 1852 we were IN that beautiful country
known IS the bluegrass region Of Kentucky, a
land flowing with milk and honey, and the
boys liked milk and honey, aud did not object
10 the necessary trouble 10 borrow them.

Two nights after some more got away anger,

thOrlty said must not, appetite declared must,
and only one beehive remained upon the parent

citizen his full protection for that one, declar-
ing that any one found in possession, or having
il IN las quarters, should be severely dealt with.
Soon after MT. Citizen appeared carly in the
morning, and his tone was sad as he said, " It's
gone" But the Colonel was not sad, he was
only wild, as he declared he would find the

Adjutant 10 search every tent in the command,
beginning with headquarters; which the Ad-
jutaut proceeded 10 do, and as he turned back
the flap Of the C0loacl's tent there was the
hive, though innocent Of honey. The citizen
looked at the Colonel, the Colonel looked at the
citizen, and the latter eagerly disclamed any
belief in the COlonel's wickedness. But / am
sure If that citizen is alive to-day he is still
fully persuaded that Col. Jesse Moore got that
honey.

geant5 Of Co. ii, might have some idea how
that honey ambled into camp Of its own accord.
Mem.-The Adjutant insisted on share for
placing the hive where it would do the most

Parker,s Crossroads.

EDIToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There appears
an article in your issue of March s, written
by Perry Lewis, Co. Ii, 9th Ohio, in regard
to the battle Of Parker's Crossroads, West
Tenn, Dec 81, 1862. First, he is mistaken as
to the Indiana regiment 1t was the 50th Ind,
commanded by Col. Durham, and Gen. Sulli-
van was in command of the expedition, and
divided his forces at Huntingdon Tenn, and
sent forward Col. Durham to reconnoter and
Gen. Sullivan started from Huntington on the
morning of the 3lst to follow, although he got
full of whisky and was cut off from his COM
mand, and had to run for dear life to save his
bacon, as well as his position and star. After
he caught up with the column he marched
quite briskly for while and sent the writer
forward with orders to Col Durham, who was
having a hard battle with Forrest, being al
most surrounded at the time The story the
writer told the Johnnies as well as Forrest,
caused them to make hasty retreat, more
than did the left obique Of the infantry col
umn, as part of my regiment Of cavalry were in
the advance and not more than 300 yards to the
rear, when was taken in. He is also mistaken
about the bridges being burned, as l travelled
with the rebels to and across the river. For
rest had barge on which to stow his guns and
extras to ferry across the river, and the horses
were made to swim across. ! saw ali this, and
also saw Forrest baptiZe one of his officers on
New Years Day, 1868, for not obeying orders.
He chucked him clear under the water in the
Tennessee River-John o. WAGNER, Co. L.,

Faithful Dog.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During the
Winter Of 1663-'64 the First Brigade, Third Di-
vision, Seventeenth Corps was encamped near
Black River Bridge, II miles east of Yicksburg
Near by, or just across the river, was the battle
ground Of the Black River fight, in May, 1863
Soon after encamping there many of us in the
nearest camps were disturbed and kept awake
many nights by the piteous bowling of dog
the line of rebel works close to the edge OF the
bluff and above the railroad bridge. Inquiry
brought the report that said dog belonged to a
rebel officer killed in that battle and buried at
that place, and the dog returned every night to
his grave to howl, and for one / admit it was
well and faithfully done Such mournful,
piteous wall as he furnished from about ii p.
m. until 2, and sometimes a. m, words fail
to describe. Many the threats that were made,
but no one cared or had the heart to kill the
poor brute; and | could never learn that any
of our men had ever seen him, as at dawn of
day he withdrew into the woods up the river,
to return at night. Now, wish to inquire if
any one ever saw that dog, and if So tell us as
near as they can the breed and about the size
he was. A good many were curious, and would
like a description.-L. NICHOLSON, Co. +,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As the turkey
and chicken roost and the contraband pig
are claiming considerable space in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE at present, and l pre-
sumo these little pleasantries are read with as
much interest as the controversies over the
capture of battlefiags and as to what regiments
composed certain commands, etc. /, therefore
take the liberty to relate pig tale
Two or three weeks after the battle of Shiloh
our company, under command of Lieut.. B. +.
Hyde, was sent out to stand picket on Purdy
road near a place known as VeaPs Lane.
Orders were very strict then against molesting
anything belonging to the dear Southern people,
and of course we all, officers and men, were ex-
pected TO obey the orders of our superior officers
but accidents would happen sometimes, and
chicken or pig would get killed occasionally.
One of these accidents happened while we were
standing picket at Veal's Lane. Comrade
Enoch Hunter (now Deputy Treasurer of Wayne
County, Neb.,) was detected SHINING a fine fat
pig short distance from the reserve, while off
duty. Lieut.. Hyde began to reprimand him
for stealing the pig. Euoch said he had not
stolen the pig; furthermore, that Co. | boys
were never known to steal anything. The
Lieutenant demanded an explanation. WELL"
Enoch said, :" went out in the woods a
short distance and sat down against tree to
mediate and look for Johnny ;jump-ups, and
drew my saber and laid it across my lap to
have it ready in case of an emergency, and
while 1 was sitting dreamily cogitating over
the fortunes of war, suddenly something ran
against my saber. AS quick as thought, and
quicker than l could turn my head to see what
it was, gave fierce jab with my saber, sup
posing, of course, Johnny had jumped upand
was about to jump on to me- but it was not a
Johnny at all-it was this pig / am sorry it
happened, Lieutenant, but it could not be
helped after it was DONE and l thought the
next best thing to do would be to dress it and
we all could have taste of fresh pig meat"
Hunters explanation was satisfactory to the
Lieutenant, notwithstanding the improbability
of pig running against a saber and especi-
ally to run against it so that it would run
through him behind the forelegs. But, then,
the Lieutenant knew his men were all truth
full and honeSt-in fact, would not tell lie for
a pig. The next question was how to cook the
pig. We were three or four miles from camp
and no vessels to cook itin, or bit of salt to
son it with. But Hunter had a talent for ex-
pedients and modest amount of cheek; so he
goes to a house near by, where the pig was
probably owned, and bOrrows skillet and
some salt, and the pig was properly cooked and
served And there was not one in the COM
mand that enjoyed the repast more than the
commanding ohicer.-P. o. Avery, Co. /, 4th

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Few persons,

the destructive qualities of a bombshel when
