John Snyder's Bank Barn and Contents

should overtake them so soon.
While IN Knobsvllle some one

to be some one burning brush and
no one thought seriously about 1t.
Mr.. Snyder took the precautlon
to hasten home, only to fad the
work of destruction almost com
pleted. His granary, containing
his crop of grain, together with a
wagon load of wheat, which stood
in the barn, was included in the
loss.
Mr.. Beamer Gress was the first
to reach the confagration and
succeeded IN getting the live stock
out of the barnyard and stables,

81 notice that the papers state
that more men were lost IN bat
ties fought near Port Arthur than
IN any battle fought during our
civil war. Comrades, forty-two
years have passed away since you
fought your last battle and many
facts have passed out of your
minds. Let us take Fredericks-
burg, Wilderness and Spottsyl-
vania and battle of the Potomac,
and put them around the edge of
a circle 10 miles in circumference,
and within this circle but 13
miles in circumference many
bloody and desperate battles were
fought. Genl. Mullholand states
that on both sides within this cir.
Gle, including Fredericksburg,
Spottsylvanla and Wilderness, 10
generals of the Uuion army and
9 generals of the Rebel army were
killed; hundreds of other officers
and 10000 men were killed,
wounded or captured. In fact
the ground within the circle is a
vast cemetery, IN every field, gar
den and along streams men are
buried single and in platoons; 49,
500 Union and 5000 Confederate
soldiers are buried in Fredericks-
burg cemetery. From the 9Th of
May until the 9th of May, 1865,
the casualties of the Uuion army
amounted to 39,747, and the Con.
federate loss was about the same.
Or in other words the loss in both
armies In 20 days amounted to
nearly $4,000 men. And this
does not include the loss of the
9th Army Corps. In snort tlme
afterwards the battle of Coal Har.
Dor was fought where over $1,000
men were killed aud wounded.
The End Corps lost over 5000 men
in one hours fighting. The bat
Ties of HannibaI Alexander, Cae-
'sar and Napoleon, as well as the

Clear Ridge 80, HustontOwn 13.
Clear Ridge, Sept. 19.-Last
Saturday Hustontown came out
and crossed bats with our team
and went back with another de-
feat. The Hustontown boys start
ed off as if they had won the game
scoring three runs in the first
inning. Then the Ridge boys came
to the bat, tying the game. In the
second inning the visitors scored
one run and gave our boys a blank.
In the third our boys gave the WIS.,
itors blank and then scored six
runs. BY this time the Red Pants
had begun to get themselves down
to business and quickly they shut
the visitors out again and the Red
Pants scored nine more. Then the
visitors began to feel that they
had got a little too far from home.
Umpire Dawney's eye got lit
tie bad at times, but we will say
that Scrupe did all right. This is
the last game of the season for the
Ridge boys. They have played 8
games and won 5, two of those
they lost being away from home
and the other on their own
grounds.
