Continued from st week.
Troops were being massed outside of
town as an attack was evidently ex-
pected at this point. - Darkness was
coming on; a heavy dark clond was
raising and flashes of lightning with
distant thunder gave warning of an
ugly night. We vainly bunted up and
down hoping to find our comrades.
The rain soon began to pour and we
‘began to look for a suitable place to
pass the night. We found a deserted
‘house with an old fashioned fire place

We appealed to the provost marshall,

that in times of danger there were
plenty of men wearing the. U. 8. uni-

we would carry a load of rails, the di-
rection to which was pointed out. But
when we retarned the guard came
along and forced us to go along with
them. They took us to the other side
of town, where the line of battle was
formed, and after forbidding us to re-
‘tarn Jeft us to enjoy ourselves as best
we could. Soaked with rain, baving
neither blanket nor overcoat, and wear-

‘seek some place where we could lie
down in safety.

one more effort. We did so and to our
great joy found two or three of our
party. They told us that the rest were
in town and they all had spent a very
pleasant night. They were thorougly
refreshed while we were almost dead
on our feet. Bat we turned in and

and more thrilling adventures.
The sun rose bright and warm. After
relating our adventares of the night,
we held a council, at which we de-
termined to leave the pike and take a
northerly direction. Our route lay

We examined the road for some dis

halted them and asked whence they
came. They said they ft Hill's corps
at Hunter's Mill at 8 ¢’clock that morn- |
ing,and asked us to let their escort pass
anmolested, which of course we did. A
They also requested us not to ask any
information from them on account of
them being paroled,but they had given
-us all we wanted just then in the first
sentence, ‘Hill's corps at Hunter's
Mill at 8 o’clock in the morning.”
They had time to travel about two
miles then we met. We ordered them
to move on, and as soon as they were
‘out of sight the sergeant in command
penned the following dispatch:
“Hill's corps at Hunter's Mill, near
Vienna; party all safe.”
Corporal Corse asked and received
permission to carry the message, as
the rain and exposure of the first night
had so #ffected him that he fesred he
would be unable to contine. We
then took a large circuit to avoid Hill's
foroes.
We finally struck the road which
‘Jeads from Vienna to Leesburg. This
road had not been used and we de
termined to follow it in the hope that
the enemy’s lines did not extend thus
far. After marching about three miles
we came to a houses, and going in,
asked for something to eat. There
was nothing in sight but a ham, which
was of course rapidly confisicated.
We had met a commisary and upon
the orcler spoken of at the beginning
got but one day's rations, which was
all we received during the eight days
The man started out, telling us to re-
main rill he returned. We watched
him, and from the direction he took,
concluded that he meant mischief. As
soon as he was out of sight we hastened
away, giving him and his friende a fine
chano to hunt. We soon began to
wonder why the road we were on was
not pstroled, as it seemed to present
an excellent opportunity for a flank
movement. The enigma was solved
on coming to a creek, where the bridge
had heen destroyed, probably at. the
time when the Bucktails encountered
the enemy near Drainville. We crossed
over und thinking it a good place to
dispose of the ham, we went down
stream to a thicket of alders and ate
our dinner We thanked the farmer at
loag range and wished him luck ?. if
he had decided to call in assistance and
give hase.
Starting again we found our road
leading through a dense growth of
pitch » ‘nes, and being tired we went
off some distance and took rest. As
‘the appearance of the country led us
to believe that we were near a town
and should be canticas, we determined
to try night marching. We kept quiet
till evening and then started intending
to iravel all night. We had gone but
a short distance when we came upon & |
man whom we took for a soldier riding
leisurely along at right angles to our
course. Why he did not see or hear
us is inexplicable, for he passed so
clos that had our bayonets been fixed
we might have reached him. Bat he
showed no sign of alarm and we
thought best not to molest him.

Tamor Removed.
Dr. V7 A. Murray, assisted by Dr J.
Harry Mc ‘ormick, removed a large
tumor from the right shoulder of Mr.
Thomas Clancy on Monday. Mr.
Clancy had consulted Dr. Murray some
time ago who advised its removal ow-
ing to the fact that all innocent
growths may unergo such a change in
early life and during the active de-
velopement of the glandular system as
to degenerate into something more
serious. ‘It ia reported Mr. Clancy

it was executed.
