express to you our high appreciation
of the splendid entertainment cn-

expressed. In fact. my little voca-
bulary does not furnish me with Il
word that will fully express what l
desire to say about that dinner, which
waS enjoyed TO the fullest extent by
all present. Then we so enjoyed the
little scene that occurred Just after
dinner; and before we had left the
table, when beautiful cake was
presented to the oldest veteran pres
touched when the old gentleman came
forward, and trcmbln%ly received
this token Of love and esteem. and |
could see his bosom swell with emo
tions of gratitude which his tongue
could not express. Then | looked
away from this scene TO another; and
saw the old gentleman nearing his
home with such Il light, glad heart,
as he unused over the pleasant sur
prise he would spring upon his home
folk. till he seemed almost boy
again. saw him enter his home
bearing his prize. and wia, smil-
ing face, he trembin@ly opened the
basket. and placed its contents upon
Il table. Then | saw some of his
children, who themselves wore locks
that were whilcnrd by the frus, of

Axe in hand, he returned to the road, where he had felled his wife a few moments before. The first blow did not kill her and she had been carried into the house of Henry Mcclellan, near by. Mcclellan rushed to another neigh bor's for help.

 T want you, too.''
 T will shoot if you come across the road, replied Mcclellan. who had armed himself with a shotgun. Despite the warning, Scutcheon came across. Mcclellan thereupon shot him dead.
