NEW BUILDINGS START.

AS a result of this fine open
weather, a number of new buildings
have already been started. If the

THE DAY in
THE MARKETS

This market seems TO be taking on
new life with Reindeer Alameda and
Rambler Cariboo the leaders. Good
news has been coming from the
Rambler Cariboo this week and the
company has semi-officially an
nounced that substantial shipments
will be started from the mine. The
rise in Reindeer and Alameda has
been engineered by a couple Of bull
leaders on the strength of improved
showing at both properties. The sill
ver-lead issues are dominating the
trading, while the copper stocks are
showing very little life.

Nv Dear Children:-The winter of
81 was a most anxious one, we did
not know what would be the result Of
sc much political agitation. In the

Fort Sumpter had fallen, and people
began to talk of war and went to

We had SO many relations and
friends in the army that we were al
ways anxious. George. who was next
older than Freddie. was especially at
tractlHe. He graduated at Chapel Hill
in 1860, and was offered a Greek tu-
torShlp, which he accepted. He was
only eighteen years old. his only
thought was books and religion. he
cared nothing for politics. and he in
tended TO study for the Episcopal min
lstry. But the cruel war had 10 take
him, as it did thousands OF our bravest
and best. George was made a cap
tain in the ID \. G. Cavalry. and he
fought CALAMITY until he lost his life
in the summer of 1864 Never shall

telegram came announcing that he

Before this. George was taken prisoner
in a skirmish around Fredericksburg.
he received a severe wound in the
mead and was left on the field for
dead; after q while it rained and he
recovered and crawled under a stone
wall and was there captured by a
Federal soldier. He was taken TO
Washington and put in prison. He
suffered much with his wound some
rebel ladies there were very kind to
him and sent him sweet flowers, which
were a great pleasure to him.
After several months he was taken
out and sent to JohnSon'S Island. a
bleak inhospitable place on Lake
Erie. The prison was made OF boards
placed up and down and the cold
winds whistled through the cracks. He
would have frozen but for a warm
overcoat sent him through the lines;
he wore this night and day. In the
middle Of the room In which he slept
there was a small stove. Some Of
the prisoners sat on the bench near
est the stove, anOther set OF prisoners
sat on a bench q little removed, and
the third walked around to keep from
freezing; they would alternate so as
to let each one have some warmth

this handsome soldier, so tall and
straight in his Confederate uniform;
the gold bands, brass buttons. and
waving black plumes in the hat, made
the costume complete. We reverently
lifted the brown hair and looked al
the cruel wound. Coming to the
warm climate soon affected the place
and we begged in vain that som

til the summer was over, but he was
sent to the front. He went into bat

his black horse and rode to death
His remains were buried on some
