REPORT OF MISS LEITCHS DEATH
UNTRUE.

We are glad to correct the published
report of the death of Miss Mary Leitch,
missionary and teacher at Jaffna, Ceylon.
Letters have been received in Boston
from her dated Aug. 5 and her brother
who is living in this country, writes that
he has received no notice of her death
and would have received a cablegram at
once had his sister passed away. The
report of her death came to her old home
i'll Ryegate and her many friends there
and elsewhere will be glad to know that
it is untrue.

RECENT DEATHS.
Taylor.

James E. Taylor died at his home, the
Judge Paddock homestead, on Monday,
Sept. TO- He was the only surviving son
of the late DR.. s. H. Taylor Of Andover,
Mass. From earliest childhood he had
to contend with the disadvantages of
i'll health, which in many ways limited
his active life. About 1866 he entered
the employ of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.
For several years, till strength failed, he
was clerk in the gate Office. Whatever
fell to his charge was well and conscien-
tiously done. He had remarkable power
OF quiet endurance. He was greatly es-
teemed for his generous nature, being al
ways more ready to give than to receive,
and many will recall appreciatvely his
ready helpfulness wherever there was
sickness or trouble or any unwelcome
duty that others wished to be excused
from. Though always hampered by dis
ease and sense of inability, he kept
cheerful heart and busy hand 10 the last.
He married, in 1878, the youngest daugh-
ter Of the late Horace Paddock, who,
with one son, survives him. He was a
member OF the North church, the various
Masonic bodies, and the Knights OF
Honor.

CHAPTER XVII.

RATIGAN'S MISSION.
The extreme left OF the Army Of tho
Cumberland, from which Corporal Rat
igan started to 60 through the lines,
was held only by cavalry and mounted
infantry, and these widely separated.
There was no regular picket line such
as usually exists between armies con-
fronting each other where the different
branches Of the service are represented
in one continuous line. Consequently
the corporal had a far better chance to
get through than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
Passing over the Pea Vine ridge, he
descended the other side sioping to a
small stream called Pea Vine creek. It
was essential that he slip through be-
tween the Union vedettes unseen, for IL
observed ne would be taken for de-
serter and either shot or sent in to the
headquarters of his regiment. The We
dettes were principally On the roads,
and the corporal, believing that they
would b looking for an enemy on routes
over which cavalry could best advance,
selected one least advantageous for a
horse to follow. Wherever he could
find thick clump of trees Gu low
growth, a knoll, a ravine, indeed any
thing difficult for horse to pass, he
would go over or through it. Now he
would stop to listen for some sound such
as a horse is liable to make, and now
would steal on his hands and knees or
crawlson his belly over some eminence
where, if he should stand upright, his
body would make silhouette against
the sky. On crossing q bit of level
ground he suddenly heard = horses
''splutter. He was near a clump of
bushes in which he lost no time in con.
cealing himself. A cavalryman rode by
within 80 feet of him, walking his
horse slowly, the butt Of his carbine
resting ON his right leg, and in a posi-
ton to be used readily. He was patrol
ling beat. Ratigan waited till he had
gone past, then darted onward to trees
which, from their irregular line, he
judged grew beside the creek. He was
not disappointed and was soon standing
in shallow water, resting for a few
minutes under low bank.
Once past the creek he felt that o1ae-
half his danger was ended. He had
doubtless got beyond the range Of his
own comrades, and now came a great
danger Of meeting the Confederate
pickets. Leaving the creek, he ascended
