Noticing in your issue of July 6th, a very able and interesting article from the civil war veteran, John Kresler, about the battles of Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, I wish to copy what the London Times correspondent, who watched the Fredericksburg battle from the heights, says: “Never at Fontenoy, Albuerto nor Waterloo was more undaunted ‘ courage displayed than during those six frantic dashes which they directed against the almost impregnable position of the foe. That any mortal man could have carried the position, defended as it was, it seems idle for a moment to believe. But the bodies which lie in dense masses within forty-eight yards of the muzzles of Colonel Walton’s guns, are the best evidence what manner of men they were who pressed on to death with the dauntlesSness of a race which has gained glory on a thousand battle fields and never more richly deserved it than at the foot of Mary’s heights on the 13th of December, 1862.” '' , .

The Kentland Democrat relates a run of bad luck which Trustee Henry Cannon, of McClellan, Newton county, had last week. He was driving four horses to a binder when he saw that a field of hay was on fire. Hastily unhitching his horses, he started for the fire. The horses became frightened and ran away, the fire destroyed about twenty acres of timothy, the horses ran into ;a Barb wire fence and were cut some, the harness was ruined and Mr. Cannon suffered a painful cut on one of his legs while getting through a wire fence after the horses.

Peculiar Stranger Given His Freedom From County Jail.
W. H. Kearney, as the mysterious man who was confined in our county jail, gave his name, was released last Saturday on authority of the county clerk of Newton county. Kearney seemed entirely rational following the day that the milk was forced down his neck. Last week he was rather impatient to be set at liberty. He had neither hat nor coat and his shoes were in bad condition. The sheriff fitted him out with shoes and hat, but he started away coatless. He said that he was going to see his father at Buffalo, N. Y., but it is believed that he will first try to get a job at Gary, whither he started.
