Jefferson Davis as a Military Hero.

infantry was advancing to get he

saw the danger, and turning to young
colonel Jefferson Davis, ordered him
to check that column" 1t was an
order which Genera Taylor woulc

three hundred and twenty soldiers to-
sustain the rush of a small army in
full motion; but it was instantly exc

Bragg sent to reinforce them The
enemy was driven back to the loot
of the mountain. where they had
broken our line. and the ground which
had been lost was fully regained

prOach, having issued orders ITO fire

cnIIdS sake she was baptized, and let
the unholy bond which united her
with him be sanctifed with the
priests blessing. When the hour Of
her agony was over, she YEARLY
placed her lips upon the brow of her
child, and with that kiss her soul
fed. She was free free The triumph
glows still upon the soulless husk.
The wretched man saw her marvellous
eyes close. In the pain of remorse
and despair he cast himself at her
feet and besought in vain for one
last solitary ray of love.
The boy was baptized with the
name of his father-my name
looked shudderingly into his eyes,
he has mine. He and l have murdered
her. My old servant Simon has car
ried the child away. I cannot live
for it. Simon says, and the pastor,
too, that no woman will bring her
self to give my child the breast. be-
cause in the eyes of the world I am
one of the lost ones who belong IN
hell The wife of Ferber. my forester
nourishes the little fellow now, with

The reader paused and looked IN
amazement across the paper. The
forester. who, listening attentively
had been leaning thus far against the
wall, stood with a single bound at

grasped his arm. His brown face had

ment. Ferber too, had approached in
high excitement.
Go on, go on!" cried the forester
at last in an almost smothered
voice.
Simon has laid him upon the
threshold of the Lodge" read Rein

woman Ferber led and cherished him
like her own little girl. According TO

Everything which decked that

with it. Her child has claim upon
her jewels, but everything within

Is it Body of Nescopeck Ladp
Body Found at Mouth Of Susquehanna May
Be That OF Drowned Boz.

The body of boy found at the
mouth of the Susquehanna river
Monday afternoon answers the de-
scription of the little Kashner boy
| drowned in the river at Nescopeck
recently, and an endeavor is now
being made to ascertain definitely
if it is the Nescopeck lad.
The body of young boy was
found in the mouth of the Susque-
hanna river near Port Deposit Mon
day afternoon; and when the report
Of the finding appeared in the Phila-
delphia papers Tuesday morning,
many persons in this section won-
dered if it was not the little Kash-
ner boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kashner. of Nescopeck, who fell off
the Berwick river bridge and was
drowned in the river some weeks
ago. 1t was reasoned that the cold
water would keep the body p-eserv-
ed that it might we'll have hoated
that tar since the drowning, though
the distance is I4o miles. But the
floating ice would easily carry the
body that far.
The body found at Port Deposit
was of lad between 6 and 10 years
of age, and he was garbed in Bus
ter Brown suit with a waist that
must have been white before it came
in contact with the river mud. He
wore flannel underclothing, and all
hair was gone from his head though
this last may be attributable to the
ice and water.
There were two deep cuts in the
boys head, at first thought to have
been inflicted by some blunt instru-
ment, but were doubtless caused by
the chunks of floating ice.
The given description answers in
a general way with that OF the
Kashner lad. The boy wore clothes
Of the kind named. and would
doubtless appear about that way
after floating such a distance as
from Nescopeck to Port Deposit,
which is Just where the Susquehan-
ma empties into the Chesapeake bay.

LOCAL HISTORY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Local history is
becoming more and more interest
ing as the years go by. But by
that time those who know, are dead
and facts and acts are forgotten.
Would it net be we'll to endeavor
now to recover from oblivion and
destruction all the old newspaper
files in the Offices of the newspapers
Among private families and in other
ownerships? If complete SO much
the tetter-if not let us save what
we can.
Send the bound files to the
"Bloomsburg Public Library" aud
write to the Library of broken files
Of local papers. Probably they
could be completed if every body
would help-and could be bound
and put on the shelves.
Just think for a minute what o
mine of local history, personal and
political, could be found and pre-
served. The Library people would
be glad to take care of them and
put them in shape. Can't I'VE save
something from the tooth of timer
Boys and girls, look up the old
papers which may yet be perfect.
Editors, let us know what you have
got. ANTIQUARIAN.

REDUCED COAL PRICES.

Anthracite operators have agreed
to make the usual 5o-cent reduction
in the price of prepared coal on
April I, when the new spring
schedule will 60 into effect. Wheth-
er there will be any decrease in the
price of pea coal is a matter of con-
lecture, since the operators say that
there is such a demand for this pro.
duct, even at this season, that they
have, in large measure, been u.;-
able to meet the requirements OF
consumers. If there is reduction
it will not be more t5an twenty-five
cents ton, they assert.
For some time there has been q
feeling among several of the large
operators that, in view of the in-
creased cost of equipment material
and thei. high operating expenses
generally. the reduction should be
limited this year to twenty five
cents a ton. Such action was over
ruled by majority of the hard coal
carrying roads, which have decided
to maintain the former schedule oi
prices.
E. B. Thomas, president of the
Lehigh Valley, announced that his
road would make the regular re-
duction of fifty cents a ton. After
the Ist of April, therefore, there
will be boom in the retail Goa
trade, as many set about filling
their bins for the next winter.-Ee

The famous wild turkey case,
in Lycoming county, has been end
ed by the grand jury ignoring the
bill against Mr.. Sanders, and this
leaves the cost amounting to $500,
for the people of Lycoming to pay.
1t will be remembered that this
grew out of tie efforts of the game
commissioners to prove that Mr..
Sanders had robbed the nest OF a
wild turkey and hatched them un
der hen. 1t proved to be impos-
sible to determine whether the
chicks were wild or tame until they
were grown, and they were remand
ed to the care of the game commits
sion until they grew up. All of
them either died or disappeared in
some mysterious way, and when
the time came the game commission
had no evidence.
