ID. f. Goodrich, a prosperous farmer
of this town, is not so wealthy as he was
Tuesday at this time. Early yesterday
morning while at the barn doing his
chores, he opened a trap door back of his
stable and observed dead hen In the
basement On investigating he found
that his entire flock of fowls, consisting
of IA hens and nice large rooster, were
dead They lay scattered around, each
minus its head, which was eaten off by
some animal and one hen was partially
devoured. Mr.. Goodrich is unable to
tell lust what kind of animal did the
depreciation, but Judging from the
prints of the animals feet he thinks
nothing smaller than lynx could have
done such slaughter. The tracks were
nearly as large as mans hand.

Comrade NJ. A. Douglass, Simpson
vile, KY, reports as follows: Born
in Preble County, Ohio, May, 1S41.
Lived on my fathers farm, near
Morning Sun, until July, 1861. was
threshing wheat the day of first Bull Hun
battle. Enlisted under President Lncoins
call for 1000 men, in Co. ID, 41th Ohio.
Went into West Virginia with Rosecrans.
First battle Carnifex Ferry, Sept. ~ 6!:
PLAYED soldier in West Virginia until Fall
of 49,, when rebels drove us down the
Kanawha Valley into Ohio. My regiment
went back in the Fall to confluence OF
Kanawha and Gauley Rivers, where we
stayed until February. 1868. Then we lett
for Vicksburg. We were on steamboat for
% days, landing at Young's Point, IN
sight of the doomed city. Helped capture
Vicksburg. Saw the Johnnies march out
on 4th of July and stack arms. In battle
of Missionary Ridge, with my corps, the
Fifteenth; then went up to Knoxville and
drove Iongstreet off. Went into Winter
quarters in Larkinsville, Ala. Had gay
time that Winter. Morgan L. Smith let
us enjoy Southern life. Re-enlisted and
went home last of February, '64, on fur
Tough for 30 days Returned and made
the Atlanta campaign. l saw the lamented
Mcpherson dead in an ambulance. Went
with Sherman to the sea. My Division,
u
Fort McAllister. We opened the cracker
line. Went to Hilton Head. Port Royal
Island, and finally started for Washing
ton City. via Columbia. Raleigh. Benton
vile and Richmond. Was wounded slight
ly at Atlanta"
Comrade VIM. r. Townsend. Co. +, 24th
Ohio. complains, with good reason, that
our report of his enlistment was June,
1865, instead of June, 1861. But this mis-
take does not make the account of his
service ridiculous, as he seems to think.
The ridicule is on The National Tribune.
whose printer made the mistake. The
National Tribune tries to be very careful
and friends of the paper declare that it
makes but few mistakes. When COM
rades' affairs are to appear in print, they
must allow for printers mistakes. Such
mistakes will crop out in the best regulated
printing offices. Politicians and public
men recognize this-in truth. the poll
tician takes advantage of it. When exact
facts are reported that does not suit him
he is apt to dismiss the matter very light
Iy by saying '.Oh, that's only another ex-
ample of the blunders of newspaper.
We apologize to Comrade Townsend. If
he will pin this little notice along with
the report of his service, which was really
very creditable, his printed record will be
all right.
