who had fought one another so jealous
ly for four years. The visitors shared
their rations with the southerners, who
at times upon this last march had lived
upon raw corn.
The historian of the First Maine cav
airy gives the following simple account
Of the closing of the last gap to Lees
retreating army. Evidently the men
engaged little knew the history they
were making:
emo firing could be heard except in
the immediate front of this brigade &C.
H. Smith's), and the men supposed that
was all engaged, and they were merely
holding a road The line in front
grew stronger and came nearer, and
finally came within fair range, when
their men seemed unwilling to advance.
The carbines of this brigade did all that
could be expected and inspired the line
with a wholesome fear, feeling appar-
emily that they would fight very we'll
where they were, but would have to
get wonderfully walked up to advance
much, even on that little handful of
Yankees. The little brigade fought we'll,
losing ground little by little, being
pressed slowly back, the enemy gaining
no advantage sufficient to raise their
spirits to attempt charge, which would
literally have swallowed our brigade up.
''Although outnumbering us ten to
one, the Confederates were worn out,
half starved and wholly discouraged.
Had they fought with their vim Of a
year before this brigade would hardly
have got sight of the road twas hold
ing. This could not long continue.
''The brigade after losing the field,
had already left the road, when an or
derby came riding by, shouting: Keep
up courage, boys! The infantry is COM
ing right along in two columns, black
and white, side by side-a regular
checkerboardp
The negroes belonged to the Twenty
fifth corps Custer's troops greeted them
with loud hurrahs It was this timely
coming forward Of the Federal troops,
white and black swarms, with horsemen
and cannon, which decided the fate of
the Army Of Northern Virginia. In
marching to Appomattox Lee ran into a
net formed by Sheridan s squadrons and
battalions, and the net was closed be-
I hind him by more sguadrons and bat
talions that had been at his heels all
the way from Petersburg. His army
was not simply surrounded in stra.
tegic sense, it was rounded up in mar
row space and held there by a remorse
less grip. GEORGE L. KILMER.

ABLUFF BY POOR To-.
MORA, Mimi, Aug. s: The city
marshal has received a letter threaten
ing his life if he attempts to take an
Indian who murdered Joe Moussons
not long ago on the Mile Laos reser-
walton. The Indians say they will in
tiict proper punishment on the MUIR
derer. Sheriff Johnson has clue to
his hiding place and will start for the
lake at once. In the present temper
OF the Indians trouble is possible
Press Dispatch.
Now this is the veriest bosh and
nonsense. I wrote that letter myself
at the request of several of these In
dams. They said they had heard that
the authorities of Mora were coming
here to arrest some of their people
(they didn't say what for) and they
wished said authorities would stay
away and communicate with them by
letter and any thing they could do tc
settle up the trouble they would do il
fair and square right off.
AS for threats there was nothing o.
the kind intimated, limited at, or ex
pressed by any of them. Does Mora's
marshal want to get up an Indian scare
to the injury of the peaceable Indians
here Or does he want little CHEAP
notoriety. AS for his life being il
danger I don't think he need b.
alarmed unless the fool killer SHOULD
happen around. ~

So staid, sober Blue Hill has manu-

glad the damage to our friends was so
slight and hope nothing of the kind
will ever occur again . ..
We have had , a. remarkably cool
spring, but since the first OF June we
have had some days Of unusually hot
weather some days above a hundred
in the shade during the hottest part of
the day, but we didn't realize the heat
as we try not to be out much in the
hottest part of the day and it is always
comfortable enough in the Gulf breeze
in the shade. Now we are getting
showers about once a week and the
weather is cooler and crops are grow

plenty, pears can hardly be given

very plenty, but grapes of different
kinds abound. .s5 -. .,sa i"

islands along the coast every summer,
hunting the big sea- turtles and eggs.
About the full moon in June is the

come up from the Gulf to lay their
eggs-in the sand hills along the beach.
They dig holes in the sand for nests
and one turtle, will deposit from one

three hundred eggs all in one nest.
When the proper. time arrives, as the
turtles always come up in the night,
the boys go out, on moonlight nights

in the sand made by the turtle. They
follow this 'crawl" straight up from

The Court and Prosecution Merit
Great PraIse.-Ciyil Cases.

Perhaps never before in the his
tory of our county has as many cul-
prits been brought to justice, and
the business Of so heavy a docket
been disposed Of with such dispatt h
as in the present term of court.
There were seventeen new iudict-
ments found besidss several that
came over from the last term Of
court and the success of the prose-
cution and the rapid work Of the
court will go down in our courts
history HI one of the grandest ef.
forts known to the Hooking bar.
When the indictments were served
it seemed that contest was enter.
ed into among the accused to rush
forward and plead guilty, so dead
to rights the prosecution had then.
Among such cases were Linus
Dickens, " h0 plead guilty Of petit
larceny and is serving thirty days
in the w0rkhouse; Vincent Moore,
carrying concealed weapons, is
working out fine of 500 in the
work house; Edward Stone and

Manuls, for assault and battery,are
now serving 80 days in work house
and 500 line each; Peter Bowers

The last criminal case that occu-

were nearly an hundred witnesses

reserved, and the mortgage paid.
Samuel $. Timberlake VS. William
Kennedy ct al, Injunction. The case
was that Kennedy had granted n
privilege to Timberlake to use road
through his farm ii the latter would
build certain f9nce, which he ana.
The road was used some twlnty
years, and an alteration arose, and
Kennedy refused Timberlake the
right of way, thereupon TimberIake
prays for an interposition of the C 'urt.
The Court neld that the mere ulder-
standing was notsuflicient undec the
law for the plaintiff to claim the
right-of-way; that the failure OF Pr
pers to that effect was unfort lnata
for him; though the court believed
morally 1t was not the right 'tion
on the part of Mr. Kennedy, yet the
law was on his side and as to the case
at hand, and he could shut up the
road.

Myers, EXr. of the estate of jacob

This was case of the settlement OF
an estate in which were involved two
sets of children. BY the testimony
