Forrest manages to obtain recruits : a ! ..squad of soldiers is sent into a town or district, where they represent themselves as.being on furlough, resolved on enjoying a t good time, and determined to speud their money freely. They treat every one well several -days, never attempting to molest even their known enemies, in order to disarm suspicion; and then, at a preconcerted time, they capture every nialeperson between the ages 01 lb and 50; and march them off to camp. A man in Miami, Conn., recently ap plied for a marriage certificate, and, with- oj.t; noticing that a wroug name was in scribed as that of the lady, hastened with his bride elect to a clergyman, and the , twaia wcre made one flesh.

Touching Incident of the War. After the battle of Bean Station, East Tennessee, the rebels were guilty of all manner of indignity toward the slain. They stripped their bodies, and shot all persons who came near the battle field to show any attention to the dead. The body of a little drummer boy was left naked and exposed. Near by, in a hum ble house, there were two little girls, the eldest but sixteen r who resolved to give the body a decent burial. They took the. night for their task. With hammer and miils in hand, and boards on their shoul ders, they sought the place where the body of the dead drummer boy lay. From their own scanty wardrobe they clothed the body for the grave. With their own hands they made ajrude coffin, iuto which they reverently put the dead boy. They dug the grave, and lowered the body into it and covered it over. The noise of the hammering brought some of the rebels to the spot. The sight was too much for them. The stillness of the night the story so eloquently told by the heroic la bors of the little girls. Not a word was spoken, no one interfered, and when the sacred rights of burial were pcrfromed all separated, and the little drummer boy sleeps undisturbed, in his grave ou the battle field. Such tenderness and heroism deserve to run along the line of coining generations with the story of the woman who broke the alabaster box on the feet of the Savior, aud with her who of her penury cast her two mites into flic treasury. The Rebel General Eorrest. The Forrests, one of whom has become more than infamous by his cowardly mas sacre of black and white prisoners at Fort Pillow, were all negro traders before the war. There were four brothers: Bed ford, who kept a uegro-pen for five years before the war, on Adams street, in rear of the Episcopal Church, Memphis; John a cripple and a gambler, who was jailor and clerk for Bedford ; Bill Forrest, an extensive negro-trader at Vicksburg; and Aaron Forrest, general agent to scour the country for his other brothers. They accumulated large sums of money in their nefarious trade, and Bedford won by that and other influences a natural promotion to a brigadier in the womau-whippiug, bady-stealing, rebel Confederacy. He is about fifty years of age. tall, gaunt, and sallow visaged, with a long nose, deeD-set, I black, snaky eyes, full black beard with-! out a mustache, and hair worn Ion":.

A Good Occupation. Pete," a comical son of the Emerald Isle, who carried wood and water, built fires, &c, for the "boys at Hamilton t College, is as good a specimen of the ge- uus Hibernian as ever toddled in a bro- 1 gan. Une or the stuuents Having occa I sion to reprove him one morning for de ! liuquency, asked him where he expected to go to when he died. "Expect to go to the hot place' said Pete without wincing. "And what do you expect will be your portion there?" asked the soph., solemn- "O, growled the old fellow, as he brushed his ear lazily .with his coat tail, "bring wood an water for the boys." Influential Dwarf. The Rochester Democrat, mentioning a visit of Joseph Leffel, of Springfield, 0- hio, to the former city, says: "He is the smallest business man in the world, and, indeed, quite an atom as compared with Geneal Tom Thumb, Mr. Leffel being only forty-four inches in height, aud weighing but fifty-five pounds ! Mr Leffel is now thirty-two years of age. He is an itclligent, able-bodied, handsome featured man, and sports a moustache that would really do cixdit to the Scotch giant. He has filled the office of supervisor in Springfield, and is regard ed as one of the most public-spirited citizens of that p.acc. He is about to marry Miss Sarah B. Belton, who is smaller than "Mrs. Thumb, and was for merly Button's maid of honor: Singular. A soldier of the 1st Pa. Cavalry, in the Potomac Army, was a short time siqcc found asleep uear War rcnton, Va., having slept 24 hours.

As the clock struck 4 oa the following day he died without a groan. The Hew Tax Law. An act imposing additional taxes for State purpose) and to abolish the Rev enue Hoard. Section 1.
