the lawn engaged in play when several mem.
bers of Troop A of the Maryland National
Guard, who were on their homeward march
from the Manassas encampment, passed along
the public road near my home. A small negro
servant became alarmed and started TO run at
the appearance of the soldiers. One of the
soldiers pursued him with yell, but the fright
ened boy darted down into the pumphouse and
hid himself The soldier charged up the lawn
past the children and fired his pistol within
few yards of my dwelling.
