EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In reading
army "reminiscences in the Fighting Them

cumstance that occurred ia the Winter Of 81

the battle of Nashville the 140th Ind. was as
signed TO the Third Brigade, Third Division,
Twenty third Corps. 1t was while on the
march from Murfreesboro to Columbia through
the mud and slush mat the circumstance oc-

sick permit TO march out of ranks, and was
leisurely, with few others, proceeding on his
course when he concluded TO try his hand at a
little game of foragiBg He aud three others
entered house, and while the others we're
hunting in the rear of the house Maddy dis

fire, and proceeded at once to examine it, On
investigation he found it contained fine tur-
key aud two chickens for Christmas dinner al
ready cooked. lie held on TO the trophies, but
AdPt johnson relieved him of his pap T. c.
Vaughan and myself helped to share that tur-
key. / would like to hear from Adi't Thomas
E. Johnson, or any Of the old comrades who
may remember Maddy's trinmphal march back
to the ranks with that big turkey, with Adjt
johnson closely at his rear inquiring for Capt.

the Eleventh Corps broke through at Chancel-

A BEAR STORY.

Three Ladies' Frighfened Haif Ia Death by
the Brufes-- Woods fssH of fhe"s.
Mesdames Il. SIR and j. +. Baker and
Miss Blanche Campbell went Ia the Pam
ola plains to gather blueberries on Mon
day. They were enjoying great success In
the pursuit Of the object of the trip when
suddenly two huge black bear made an
appearance and put the ladies To flight,
together with soaring them. almost to
death, and they Immediately decamped,
making a hasty retreat in the direction
Of town, leaving hats, shawls, pals and
berries behind. The bear, the ladies
stoutiy affirm, pursued them until within
sight Of the city, hut in that they are un-
doubtedly mistaken IA the animals have
never been known To follow N person,
always endcavoring to get as faraway AS
possible. The ladies i'm their fright UNI
doubtedly imagined every black stump
was n bear and as stumps oil that kind
are very numerous along the road IL IL
quite probable that larger part oil
their fight was quite unnecessary. The
younger of the ladies, who was consider
ably In advance OF the others, declared
that there was no use oil being afraid the
bear would not harm them, but IL Il a
f,,ct that she arrived in town first. Mrs.
SIR was completely Frustrated and the
Others suffered more or less from the ell
fects Of the rapid flight.
Owing to the f,ct that bearar 80 very
numerous hereabouts ladies and children
are afraid TO 90 into the woods alter
berries. The bear OF these woods were
never known To harm or attempt to IN
lure any one unless cornered and then
they fight only until they get an opening
to enable them to run away, and as a
general thing they are even more timid
than deer and not near 80 dangerous.
Two black bears were seen i'm the rasp-
berry patch on the Fairbanks bill, less
thnn IA mile from town, one day last
week.
Ben Leach shot bear near the Paint
river last week. The animal was full
grown and in good condition.
