the cover again, rub the pig once more
with butter and brown him for ten
minutes. Serve very hot with apple
sauce.

salt, pepper and bits of butter. Cover
with a layer of fine, dry bread crumbs,
add more seasoning and bits of butter,

Editor National Tribune: Please give
a short sketch of the Goth Mass.-Law-
renee Griffin, 276 Hudson Blvd, Union
Hill, n. J.
The goth Mass, one of the fighting
regiments. was organized at Readville,
from August to September, 1861, and
after serving out two enlistments finally
mustered out July 16, 1865. 1t was
commanded by Coils. VIM. r. Lee. Fran
els w. Palfrey, Paul Revere, and Geo.
n. Macy, in succession. The goth lost
more in battle than any other Massa-
chusetts regiment, sustaining remark
able fatality in its field and staff. Gen.
Humphreys spoke of it as 'one of the
very best regiments in the service" At
Fredericksburg it crossed the river in
the face of the enemy's rifiemen, who
occupied buildings on the opposite bank.
1t was assigned the task of clearing the
streets of that place and fought its
way thru the main street amidst 4
shower of bullets. 1t lost in this fight
25 killed and 1873 wounded. At Gettys-
burg it lost 127 out of 230, which it
took into action. 1t took an active part
in some 20 battles and was present at
some IL others. The goth belonged to
Gibson's Division, Scond Corps, and lost
260 killed and 149 from disease, etc
Its total of killed and wounded was
944 and 63 of its members died in Con-
federate prisons. Editor National

although it constitutes a prominent in
gredient in every good salad. At one
time the lettuce was supposed to pos
sess soporifc properties; but of late
years it has, perhaps too hastily, been
disestablished as drug in the repetory
or the therapeutist. Some are. now
strongly insisting that lettuces should
be used generally as food, and suggest
ing that they ought to be boiled, after
which treatment they are said to be
as palatable as spinach. If this be the
fact it is worth knowing, as spinach is
necessarily excluded from the diet of
the oXaluric patient, and it is precisely
in this class of cases that the soothing
properties of the lettuce, if it have any,
would be valuable.

RANcHER BECOMES INSANE.
Wyoming Man Attempts to XIII His
Wife and Son.

Sundance. Wyo.-"Well, old lady,
we'll all die together" are alleged to
have been the words of M. Paxton a
Kara creek ranchman just before he
opened fire with a revolver on Mrs.
Paxton and her small son, Cecil Davis.
The shooting occurred at the ranch,
and after wounding the woman and
her son, Paxton attempted to commit
suicide, but was unsuccessful Mrs.
Paxton was shot in the chin and will
recover. Her son was shot in the
groin and probably will die, and Pax.
ton has an ugly but not serious wound
in the head.
William Davis, another son OF Mrs.
Paxton, attacked Paxton and over
came him, throwing him into the Gel.
lar and keeping him a prisoner there
until Deputy Sheriff Leeman arrived
on the scene and took charge of the
ranchman. Paxton is now in the coun-
ty jail and is believed to be insane.
What caused him to decide to kill
himself and family is not known.
