The joliest crowd ever assembled i

The jOliest crowd ever assembled in
Barber county was the one at College
Hill school house on last Wednesday
night, at the Envelope social AS
the programme was being commenced
the rain set in. The crowd continued
with the programme and the rain
turned to sleet. Then the blizzard set
in for keeps, and nobody could leave,
except Geo. Triton and family, who
live within 200 yards of the school
house. AS the storm became furious
the eight teams were coralled on the
south side of the house. Then it be-
came evident that the horses would not
stand, and eight of them were housed
in dougout, near by; two were placed
in Mr.. Urton's stable, and six were
crowded into the back end of the
school house. the benches being re-
moved to make room for them. The
crowd enjoyed themselves the best way
they could. The children was put to
sleep in one corner, on the extra wraps.
1t was altogether a ridiculous affair,
and it was 10 o'clock Thursday before
the last of the crowd got away On
Friday that house was given a good
cleansing, and it needed it.

cast, weeping eyes, with lines of deep
est suffering in his frank, youthful
face, moves as if his limbs were of
lead, toilingly lifts up one foot and
then the other, thinking Of the mother
at home, the sister, the brother and
the old farm, and afresh the fountains
of sorrow open and pour out drops of
bitter, yearning tears. Close behind
the boy walks the sorrowing father,
the wind playing with his snow white
hair and beard. He had come from
the far off New England home to try
to save his boys life. All his tears,
his entreaties had been in vain. An
example had to be set, desertion from
the ranks had occurred too frequently
of late and it must be checked. Even
personal appeal to President Lincoln
failed to avert the doom to which his
child, the boy soldier, was fastening.
Some circumstances had occurred ag-
gravating his crime and the findings
of the court-martial were approved,
though with his great heart bleeding,
by the only one who could pardon here
on earth.
Feeble and tottering with the great
est sorrow in his heart that could be-
fall to man, the aged parent walked
behind his boy to the place Of execu-
ton, which also was to be his place of
burial. Many an eye along the line
dimmed with the tear OF sympathy,
many q heart, that never quailed in
the thickest of the fray, now went out
in sorrow for the unhappy father, him
self but step from the grave. And

not loaded their pieces themselves, and
one contained but blank cartridge.
10 this day every one of the twelve
forming the detail thinks and fondly
cnerlshes the thought that it was his
weapon which contained the harmless
powder. But now every eye is strained
toward the right. Slowly, with meas
ured step, the men so soon to be exc

guarded and accompanied by a chap

last appeal for mercy, then it was that
an audible vail rung along the line of
sturdy, hardened men, accustomed to
all the horrors of war.
Anxious faces turned ever and anon
to the road leading to the river, but no
succor came. no fluttering handkerchief
stayed the impending tragedy, and
General Ferrera at last gave the signal
to proceed.
Blindfolded the two unhappy soldiers
were sitting on their coffins, ready to
lie down to the long sleep that knows
no waking in this world. The chap
lain had uttered q last prayer, the
father taken the last leave of his son !;
opposite the detail of men that had
been called to Attention! Ready Aim |!
Fire!
The cruel duty was performed.
Two immortal souls had gone to the
great Commander, to implore His
mercy, to await his sentence.
When the fatal volley was fired, the
boy soldier fell heavily back into his
coffin, while his companion, older,
more hardened, tenaciously swayed
back and forth, as if loath to succumb,
then falling, struck the hard plank of
his last home with sickening thud.
After examining the bodies the sur
geon pronounced them dead, and they
were inferred without ceremony, with.
