Many of the teachers in this
county, who remember Prof. B. f.
James, at one time an instructor
at the county institute, will be
shocked to hear of his death by
suicide Thursday of last week.
Prof James was ex-county super
intendent of schools of Susquehan-
nah county, and at the time of his
death was principal of the schools
of Montrose. Temporary derang-
ment of the mind is thought to be
the cause of his sad fate.

Good Lord, Deliver Us.

The News Item could ask nothing
better than to have the assaults on it
by the Herald conducted with such
indecency and stupidity as the fol-
lowing item shows:
"You can get the News Item for fifty
cents q year. just think OF it, fifteen
cents worth of news for half dollar"
For the Herald to make this state
ment is like crying ''fire' in the midst
of the Deluge. The green eyed
monster Envy seems to have in its
control that notorious blatherskite
at the Herald office.
Let us compare the two papers
and see what they furnish and the
relative value of each, granting that
the News Item is worth but fifteen
cents. Last week issues furnish a
fair average of the matter published
on which we figure.
The Herald gave forty columns of
reading matter, made up as follows:
Three columns of clippings, six col
umns of local news and the balance
in plate matter and patent print
for which $1.00 is charged. The
News Item for $1.OO supplies in con-
nection with its own columns the
New York Tribune Farmer. The
Tribune had So columns of reading;
the News Item contained nearly 13
columns of reading, eleven CT which
were local news. For $1.OO we give
over one hundred columes of reading
matter weekly for one year. The
Herald gives forty. The cOmpari-
son you will readily see is much
more favorable to the News Item.
1t shows that the Herald furnishes
only two-fifths as much reading
Accepting the figures of the Herald
which places the value of the News
Item at l5c, let us figure the relative
value of the Herald. Computing
upon the value of local news, which
is our speciality only, the Herald
gave six columns while the New:
Item contained eleven. The rela
tive value of the Herald is further
reduced to less than five cents

of 81. 90 for five cents worth of news

and dividing 100000 pounds by

Curious Translation Errors.

Some amusing errors are made by
translators. An Italian paper turned
kipling's .'Absentminded Beggar'' into
a. DISTRACTED Nendicant." Another
Italian editor who translated pas
sage from an English paper about o
man who had killed his wife with a
poker added an ingenious footnote to
say, 1--WE do not know with certainty
whether this thing 'pokero' be q domes-
tic or surgical instrument" The des-

explain how a horse could be hitched
'sto locust" is worth recalling. He
had never heard Of locust trees and
rendered the word by "sauterelle,"s or
grasshopper. Feeling that this needed
some explanation, he appended foot
note explaining that grasshoppers

States and that it was the custom to
place a stuffed specimen at the door

Did you ever have cholera
morbus? Out in the broiling
sun, no water and no medicine:
you may know I suffered. So
much so. indeed, that I thought
very little and cared less about a
northern prison. We finally
came to a stream of water where
the Lieutenant filed my canteen
and we again rested for a short
while. After dark we overlook
the regiment where it bivouack-
ed for the night. Most of the
drinking water procured by US
on this march was from wells
along the roadside. We would

some time during the day, hav-
ing no idea of going to a hospi-

my brother, Catlett Conway,
who had been severely wounded
in Pickett's charge at Gettys-
burg, and was then doing light
duty with General kemper, who
was also wounded at the same
time and place. I walked about
the city with him, got a good
dinner and felt better. At about
t o'clock in the afternoon | in
formed my brother that I had a
Ilor rcing desire to 60 home and
that I intended to do so, not

city, I saw eight or ten wagons
coming. I let these wagons and
teamsters pass me except the
last one. l halted him and ask
ed where they were going and
if they had a. sergeant in charge
OF the teams. He replied that
they were going upiuto Hanover
county for corn, and that the
sergeant was on behind some
where and would be along later.
A ten dollar bill brought him to
a standstill and I was, for the
time, sergeant of the wagon
train. I'tied my horse to the
hind gate of the wagon, jumped
in and laid down on the hay. We
soon arrived at the picket post
and the question was asked, us
that the sergeant in charge? The
teamster replied in the afirma-
tive, when we drove rapidly
ahead, overtaking the other
wagons at a large spring up the
road few miles, where we went
into camp and spent the night.
We sent out into the neighbor-
hood that night and bought
milk, butter, eggs and ham and
all hands enjoyed sumptious
supper and breakfast. I left the
next morning, fanked the pick
cts at Gordonsville and about
midnight reached home safely,
but tired and worn out. After l
recovered I hastened back to
the command. just in time for
several small skirmishes and also
a severe cavalry engagement at
Nance's shop in Charles City
county, Va, on June a, 1864,
where several of the company
we're wounded. From there we
went over on the south side OF
James river, in the neighborhood
of Petersburg.
After a fight near Ream's Sta
ton. while my regiment was re-
turning through a dense clump
of pines. I noticed a dead horse
lying a short distance from the
narrow road on which we were
passing. Leaving the command
I rode to the horse, dismounted,
rapidly unbuckled the girth on a
brand new number eleven Nc
Clellan saddle which had served
me we'll for nearly two years,
and replaced it with the new one.
Our baggage, with the exception
of an oil cloth, was very scarce
in those days, so I had but little
to transfer.
When we bivouacked that
night I took an inventory Of my
Yankee outfit. I found tied up
behind the saddle in an oil cloth
q nice blanket, two shirts, a
razor, soap, hair brush and
comb, a pair Of patent leather
shoes and a snlHil Bible. The

It is sometimes very difficult
for US old Confederates after a
lapse of nearly 40 years, when
relying upon our memories to
locate ourselves, or in other
words, to remember where we
were during the months and
years spent in the army with Mars
Robert in Virginia. Late years !
have met but few old soldiers
who could not recount to you some
narrowing scene, or close call.
witnessed by them during the
Civil war. Histories are inter
esting reading to most Of US: but
personal "reminiscences are en-
joyed much more keenly by our
comrades as.well as the reading
public generally. The former
deal in facts. the location and
movements of the army, battles,
casualties and so on. But each
soldier tells of his tolls, sorrows,
Joys. narrow escapes, prison life,
and many other matters Of I'M
portance to the historian. For
many days after fight or a raid
we would gather together in
small groups and relate. in detail
our experinces; producing roars
of laughter at times, and again
sadness. and sorrow. Nearly
every company had its wag, and
sometimes under the most Sc
rious and trying circumstances
he was won't to crack jokes and
cheer those around him Of q ner-
vous temperament. while we
we're on the firing line near
Spottsylvania court house, on
on the 6 of Nay, 1864, and under
a terrific fire from Warren's
corps our ammunition gave out;
just then one of my company
came running in from the rear
with a new supply of cartrides
1--WE were fighting on foot.) and
jumping behind tree on the
line he yelled out, "Come on:
boys, and draw your blue mass
pills"
Private Smith was always late.
When the company bugle sound
ed mount" Smith was always
the last man to fall in. On one
occasion one of the company
asked Smith where he was dur
ing the, charge. He promptly
replied: my saddle girth came
unfastened."
One afternoon our brigade was
down on the York river: think
it was in July, 1864. We were
near the white house and could
plainly see the gun-boats on the
river. The intense heat from
the sun, together with the muddy
water we had to drink, made
many of US sick. AS we fell
back that afternoon towards
Richmond the Yankees followed
Us, keeping up 4 brisk carbine
fire. My company was one
among those guarding the rear
and consequently threw US in
close proximity to the enemy. [
