was First to Die.

Gomrade John c. Hunterson, Third
Pennsylvania Cavalry, says that Peter
Brennan, Company 3, Third Penn
sylvania Cavalry, it is believed, was
the first volunteer cavalryman killed
in defense of the Union cause in Vir-
ginia. He was killed at Munson's Hill,
Aug, &c, 1861. Had he instead sur
viVed the vicissitudes of war he would
have been mustered out with his com
mand Aug. &c, 1864 The ancient SUI
perstition existing among soldiers, par
ticularly prevalent in our regular army
service, to the effect that sit is unlucky
to ride horse whose rider has been
killed in action" had an emphatic con-
frmation in this instance. Brennan
had poor horse, and he exchanged it
for one belonging to the Fifth United
States Cavalry short lime before tile
event which occurred at Munson's
Hill. This horses rider was killed
in Texas some time before the Fifth
came to Virginia. 1t is customary,
when the horse has lost it's rider in bat
tie to reduce him from his high position
as warriors steed to mere drudge
or pack horse. But the veterans of the
Fifth wanted to be rid of this particular
animal, and SO the trade was speedily
effected, with the result as stated AS
sequel TO this story, it may be stated
that this horse, as if fully realizing the
disgrace which the two calamities had
unwittingly brought him into. deter
mined to sever his connection with the
Union service; 80 one night when tied
to the picket rope he deliberately broke
loose from it and galloped to the enc
my's lines, which he successfully
reached. Whether any Confederate
cayalrymen afterward rode to their
doom or not, or what kind of service
he entered in the disloyal camp, is one
of the many questions of the war that
will probably never be revealed to the
men who fought its battles. -

foot The fowl troubled with it has n
swelling on the bottom of the foot
which is very painful and finally
breaks and suppurates freely. Very
frequently 1t permanently cripples the
afflicted fowl unless il is carefully
treated The probable cause OF this
disease IS from a bruise received from
jumping from some elevation and a
prolific cause is having the perches
too high. When the lameness that
precedes the visible swelling shows
itself the fowl should be watched and
as soon as the swelling becomes soft
it should be carefully opened with n
very sharp knife and the fowl con-
fined on floor covered with soft litter
until the lamenes5 disappears. Inc
