The Shepherdstown Independent tells
of two singular Incidents that happened
during the blizzard weather of last
week. While coming to town one man
had one Of his eyes frozen shut and an
other unfortunate citizen while asleep
had his mouth frozen shut. These are
the best SO far.

One day last week man named
Brooks, on Grassy creek, about five
miles north Of Addison, says the Web
ster Echo. went out to chop down n
tree for firewood. He selected a large
tree and felled 1t. It struck the
ground and broke into several pieces,
being hollow. and imagine Mr.. Brooks
surprise to see large bear crawl from
one of the pieces and make off. Sew
eral men were soon in pursuit Of Bruio,
but he made his escape with only Il
few slight wounds. When last heard
OF the animal was near Centralia, on
Elk river, going at lively gait.

About fifteen persons and as many
dogs were all last week engaged in n
wolf chase on the waters OF Black Fork
and Holly. Often they were close onto
the animal but he managed to make

surely almost starved. as during the
ten days he was pressed one pheasant
was all he had eaten.-Webster Echo.

S. E. Bress, Of Orange Had an Experience Recently which
Is Intensely Interesting An

From shs Lake Reriew, Osakis. Nlan.

The following account of farmers re.
markabIe experience was recently told a
reporter by Mr. S. f. Brees, one of the oldest
settlers and most prominent farmers of the
town of Orange, Douglas County, MINI. Mr.
Brees Is town clerk, having held this position
for several years. and is gentleman of unim-
peachable integrity and honesty. This expert
ence of Mr.. Brees is certainly interesting. He
says:
I'm August. 1891, as 1 was on my last

from the after effect of the grip. Ny family
were alarmed about me, and for two years
they would not let me go away alone for fear
/ would never get home alive. / finally con-
suited another physician. He told me the

of September. and /, with the boys, was
sworn into the United States service On
Dec. 81 l received a commission as Captain
of Co. ID, 10th Ind After we arrived in
Kentucky, we were formed into brigade
known as Gen. George Il. Wagner's Brigade,
composed of the 18th, 40th, 57th Ind, and
oath KY, and in September, '62, the 9th
Ohio and Tooth ILL were put in oar brigade.
On the morning of Dee. 81, '62, we occu-
pied the extreme left Of the infantry line,
the 10th next TO the river, but in short
time the 10th was detached and sent in Gen.
HaskelFs Brigade We here relieved the
oSth Ind, think.
At O'Clock the army was driven back
along the pike till it formed a perfect l., and
the 9th Ohio and the 10th Ind, 9th Ohio,
o7th and 18th Ind, all formed the lower
part of it; and those regiments all held the
line all day. / do not say the 10th was the
only regiment that held the same ground all
day until 10 o'clock at night.
As 10 the 10Th Ind. battery, Capt. Cox
com manded it, The 9th Ohio and 10th Ind
batteries were massed behind the 10th Ind.
and 9th Ohio On the high ground where the
National Cemetery is to-day. At 10 O'Clock
at night, as stated above, we were drawn
back and formed anew on the left farther
down Stone River, near ford.
During the night Gen. Van Cleve crossed
the river and secreted his division as best he
could, until the Johnnies came down the
next day like hurricane and when they
got in good range, Gen. Van Cleye's men
let them have more lead than they wanted,
and they went back with one-half men less
than came in the charge.
As to hard fighting Gen. McCook was on
our extreme right that morning of Dec. 81,
and have no doubt that his men had been
taken advantage of on account of negligence
on:the part OF officers. And they fought in
falling back over an area of six miles square
by II o'clock, aud at O'Clock they checked
the rush and drove the Johnnies back over
the ground and gathered up the spoils they
mad lost and captured Is field-pIeces, with Is
different stands of colors.
Those were the men who did the hard
| fighting on that memorable day. l will say,
further, that the 18th Ind. was good fg int
ing reg ment, while there were hundreds of
others just as good. CASTER, West La

"Well, if that is the case,' she an
swered, "you can take all the corn and
fodder we have got. You will find it
down at the barn."
| Now the barn was almost behind me,
and when the woman told them where the
forage was they started instantly for it..
Just on my right hand was low shed
that had been built to shelter sweet po-
tatoes which had been buried under it,
and the hills were covered with pine
boughs, which made it Very dark under
the roof; and as it looked like a good
hiding place, ! lodged down there, but
fell headlong on an old SOW with litter
of young pigs and some half dozen full
grown shoats. Here was rather I'M
pleasant situationl The hogs, alarmed
and indignant at the unceremOnious in
trusion, made a great noise, of course;
and as they rushed out they threw down
a part of the shanty on my head.
now laid myself down fiat on my face
in one of the bitches alongside of sweet
potato "hole," and hoped to escape detec
ton, but that hope was a fallaciOus one.
Scarcely had ] Strengthened myself in the
ditch before two enormous dogs leaped
over the fence and made directly for me.
There was no time to lose, / thought, and
sprang from under the shed and was off
like a race horse over the white sand
nor did stop to look behind until had
cleared three fences.
On turning around, finally, ! discov-
cred the rebels at the barn, some dis
mounted, but others on their horses look
ing for me, as if exceedingly anxious to
discover my whereabouts, but none Of
them attempted pursuit. Nor would it
then have been any use, as had reached

That night II believe il was the 18th or
18th Of February the rebels started us
of for Winnsboro, 10 put US on a train
and run US TO Salisbury, y. c. This was
the first time they had tried TO do any
thing with US on foot; and about threc

of the road there was blGff several feet
high, almost perpendicular, Gray sprang
down the bank and escaped TO the woods

that although several balls cut close,

through Mrs. Webb that the Sisters of

blanket, and Mrs. Trainor got an OPP
portunity to smuggle in another one. The
jail, too, was literally swarming with
vermin, and to add to our discomfort the
inmates OF the jail were keeping up con-
tinual noise, so that rest was nearly inn
possible. In addition, when the air was
full OF fog or clouds, the inner works OF the
Jail was always streaming with water,
which collected on them, and which
caused the floors to be continually damp.

A Champion From the 3o;h Ohio Tells
Robinett.

kObinett.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In you
issue of Jan. 5 / noticed an article by First
Lieut.. James McNeal, 18th Mo-, which die
an injustice to as gallant a regiment as ever
served in any army in the world-the Esd
Ohio.
When the charge on Robinett was made,
owing to the formation of the ground, the
greater part of Rogers's rebel brigade were
hurled against the 63d Ohio. | was in q sit
uation where | could see about everything
that took place, for the rebel attack did not
reach far enough to our right to envelop my
regiment (the 39th Ohio), and all we could dc
WAS to look on.
The 63d was the smallest regiment in the
brigade, but every man stood up to his work
like hero, until over so per cent. Oftheir num-
Der had fallen, and ouly gave ground when
literally pushed back by superior numbers.
At this point the 18th Mo-, which was lying
down directly in their rear, was ordered to
their support, and right calamity did they
respond. They dashed right into the melee
with lines dressed as If on parade, and the
remnant Of the 63d, not much more than
a good-sized company, went with them. The
9th Ohio also did all that men could do. 1t
was the Add Ohio that made the halt-wheel
in order 10 sweep the front of the battery
with their fire. The position of the seth on
the right Of the line prevented them from
rendering more than q moral support at the
critical moment, but we moved forward by
the left flank until Immediately in the rear
of the firing line, then front into line and
forward to take hand in the scrap; but the
Johnnies fled before we could mix in"
My recollection is that Gen. Stanley did
not cross the railroad from Fort Williams I'M
til the 63d was forced back. / remember
seeing him meet them, and pointing to the
rebels swarming around the battery, dis
tinctly heard him say: Boys, look what you
have done You have got to take it back {"
And know that they did their full share in
driving the rebs back.
remember RosecIans rode up and said !:
. want to take off my cap to the Ohio
Brigade" and did so. And l distinctly re-
member that in short speech he said: IAN
honor to the gallant little 63d. "-THOs. j.

j was taken prisoner on picket at Iuka,
Sept. Is, by Col. Gordon's 4th Miss. Cav,
and saw old Pap Price and his 81, 60 re bels
march by. These rebels occupied Iuka the
night OF the 14th and we prisoners, some 40
of US, were confined in the upper story of a
brick store, some 300 yards west of the Iuka
Springs Hotel, and overlooking the rebel
camps.
About O'Clock in the afternoon of the 18th
| we saw our brigade forming line-of-battle in
| the woods and on the nights about one mile
| northwest from our prison. We also saw the
| rebels forming between us and our troops,
| and pretty soon the battle of Iuka No. 2 took
place, and amid the crash we were hustled to
the rear.
1t was grand sight to us boys to see our
battlefags and line-ot- battle ON such an oc-
| casion. We were then marched to Tupelo,
with nothing to eat but corn in the ear, some
times raw and sometimes roasted, with few
peaches, and one square meal of cornpone
and bacon. 80 IS
At Tupelo we were placed on the railroad
cars and taken to jackson, where Gen. Penn
berton and some $4,000 paroled rebel pris-
oners had just arrived from Camp Chase, O.
Prior to our going to Jail then and there we
were drawn up in dress parade (?1 for the
ediiication Of the rebels, little knowing that
In few short months we would come again.
Thence in day or twolwe were forwarded
to Vicksburg Jail, where we could see ode
smoke way up de ribber where de Linkum
gumboats lay" After a few more days of in
generation and starvation we were paroled
and marched aboard steamboat, and with
the rebel flag and white flag together at
the masthead sailed up to Miilikens Bend,
where We again made connection with Old
Glory and our own grand feet.-HoRACE

Fair Treatment of tn. Drafted Mon.

Victor Kinman, Sylvania, Pa, makes ;
strong plea for fair treatment of the drafted
men. He was drafted in 1868, and sem
directly to the front, arriving in time for the
battle of Mine Run. He was with his regi
ment throughout, until he lost a leg in front
OF Petersburg He heard his Captain tel
Gen. WadswOrth that the drafted men stood
right up to their duty as well as the volun-
teers. Congress promised them all the pay,
privileges and emoluments of the volunteers,
but they were denied the additional bounty
given the volunteers by the act Of July %,
1866 He wants the drafted men to speak
up against this injustice, and try to have
Congress correct it.
