W In the recent published book de
scribing cave life during tbe siege of
Vicksburg, it'is related that a mother
laid her sleeping child upon a bed at
the end of the cave, where she thought
it would be safe, and then took her seat
at the entrance. She had scarcely done
so, when a mortar shell came rushing
through the air and fell over the cave,
cut through the earth which foimed its
roof, and crushing the head of the child,
taking away the innocent young life
without a look or word of passing love
to be treasured in the mother's heart.

SING ULA DEATH .—A little boy in
Johnstown, a son of Mr. George W. Mc-
Dowell, died on Saturday last from the
effects of poison received in eating locust
blossoms. He ate heartily of these blos
soms in the beginning of last week, and
took sick on Monday evening. It was
not known what was the matter with him
till he threw up a large quantity of blos
soms, when, upon inquiry, it was ascer
tained that he had eaten his hatful of.
them. Physicians were sent for, and
tried all kinds of medicines, even eroton
oil, but no medicines would take any
effect,
, and after saffering intense pain
for several days, this little household pet
expired, suffering the most excruciating
agony: His physibitind deeided that
the boy was pciisoned by • eating these

ea" The Military Commission of which
Major General McDowell is president
has transmitted to the War Department
its finding in a number of cases where
.officers of the army have been charged ;
,with disobedience of army regulations,
theft, illicit trade with the enemy, and
tried therefore. The bulk of the cases
are connected with cotton speculation.

of .Gen. Curtis' staff,, Brig. Gen. ilovey,
Col. Slack, Lieut. Kimball, Major Wes

longing to western, regiments, have been
found guilty of various misdeeds under
these heads.
Miss Clara Gunby was arrested
in Salisbury, Somerset county, last Fri

alleged that she refused to pass along
the pavement over , which the national
flag was euspended subsequently the
military authorities placed a flag over
the dour of her residence, and she re
fne ed to pass out of the front door, stat

NARROW ESCAPE OF GENERAL , LEE.-A
Richmond paper says:that, when Han
cock made his grandfswoop on the rebel
army, and captured so many prisoners,
Lee sat uponlhis horse, bareheaded, and
uttered not a word, hut looked, "sublime."
His companions shouted, "General Lee,
go to the rear!" He heeded them not,
but looked abstractedly upon the strug
gle. "Depend upon your Virginians !"
wae_the next_exclamation, when the
"former outcries 'were repeated, with the
assurance that "they would not fail him."
His horse was quickly led to the rear,
and hie person saved from captivity.
The rebels call this heroism and subli
mity. To ordinary comprehension it
was amazement and stupidity. Lee was
confounded, and but for the presence of
mind left with a few of his men, would
now be in our hands a prisOner.
oar The following sad story we find
in an account of some of the firing along
Grant's lines on Sunday, given in the
New York Times: "A chance shot to
day also worked some mischief - in the
2d Rhode Island Regiment. The term
of the regiment was expired, and it was
going from the front, bound for home.
Having got, as was supposed; well out
of range r the order was given to halt,
and a moment after came the rushing
ball, bringing its death message to two
poor fellows who, after faithful service,
having escaped all the dangers of the
fight, were full joyful anticipations at
the speedy Prospeercif being fiCan‘
again. Their fate was doubly shocking.
tt4r A terrible disaster occurred at
the National Arsenal Washington on
Friday. Some fire works exploded in
the Laboratory, setting fire to the loose
powder in the cartridge room and to the
building, which was entirely destroyed.
Over one hundred girls were at work in
the building, of whom nineteen are
known to have been killed, three others
mortally wounded and some fifteen
others injured. The scene is described
as distressing and terrible - in the •ex
tretne. It appears to us to have, been
the grossest and most criminal careless
ness to have bad . fire works in or near
the building.
..A..laWyer in one of the French
provinces forwarded to the Bank of

a peasant's house, where it had been
placed as a pittorial object of interest
between the portraits of Napoleon and
Beranger. it bud occupied- the same

peasants who frequented the house
knowing its value.
