Your correspondent was sitting under
the shade Of his own apple tree q few
evenings ago. meditating upon the his
tory Of his past life and the wonderful
changes which had taken place in the
history Of this country during the last
quarter of century, when suddenly
there arose cry that was enough to
make the bravest man tremble and turn
pale. It was cry of terror and of pain
that seemed to split the very air and
penetrate the deepest recesses of the
