The progress of threshing wheat in the wi

Gen. BOni.F. Kelley was shot by q mem
Der of the OhurchViIle Cavalry,

As there has been some different reports as
to how General Kelley was wounded in the
morning early on the 9rd of June, 1861, when
his forces surprised the Confederates at Phil.
lippi, Barbour county, W Va, member Of
the Churchville Cavalry of this county, now
living in Ellicott City. Maryland. informs the
Bait. Sun that he was shot with a f1int-lock
horse pistol by Mr.. Dunlap, a member OF the
Churchville Cavalry. In his letter he says
"kt lifetime dunlap fired there was prac-
tically no firing on our part, we being In full
retreat, although the Federal infantry, ad
vaucing along the Beverly road by fours was
keeping up a lively fusilade and making the
minie balls about our heads uucomfurtably
thick. When Dunlap halted he fell about fifty
yards behind his comrades. Steadyiug his horse
with his hand, he rested his fint.lock on a
fence stake beside the road and fired. His
target was less than hundred yards distant.
The fence upon which Dunlap rested his pistol
partly inclosed the vacant lot to which Gen.
eral Kelley referred as that ID which Quarter
master Sjmmes was captured, and the proxim-
ity OF SHINES to the fence from which the ball
came made the suppoEition that he had hred
the shot natural. There are many members OF
the Cburchville Cavalry, to which belonged
now living in Augusta county. Va. who can
verify all that have said IN this matter"

Rev. Sam Jones

tains long and interesting letter from Mr..
]. S. Timberlake, giving that paper an &C
count Of the work here of Rev. Sam Jones,
from which we make few extracts as fol.
lows
''As to the preaching of Mr.. Jones it is
hard to do it justice, for it combines in a
wonderful degree humor, satire, pathos,
earR estness and oratory, which carry con-
viction to hearers. 1t is hard to report his
sermons, and cannot do more than take
from my notebook few of the many good
things he said. Many of the criticisms of
reporters and writers respecting Mr. Jones,
his manner, means and modes of preaching,
are made, because they fail to appreciate
him.-He has wit which delights and fasci-
mates bis audiences, while his jokes, as he
says, when cracked are always found to
contain the sting OF q hornet. He enohains
his congregations from beginning to end by
moods and modes of expression as now
as unexpected in pulpit disoourses. lie

ences have never seen welded by any one

BUReLARY.--On Monday night sometime

rell. near the depot was broken into aud
robbed of the contents of ths money draw
er and number of bottles of whiskey. Mr..
farrell informs US that the cash obtained
amounted to about $3.50, and the whiskey
was worth $3.50. The thieves obtained en-
tranoe by breaking the large glass in one
of the front windows. They left no clue by
which they could ba traced, but the disap-
pearanoe of one or two negroes, who have
been hanging around for some days leads

stolen was all in bottles, and the thieves
knew enou gu TO take only the best.--Atle-
