She soon afterwards, however, intercepted him in aa attempt to escape without her. " Well," she said, "it is cleared up, I see."

A horse doctor in a Western town was once elected constable. IIoCwas a thrifty, well-to-do farrier and blacksmith, and doctored and shod all the horses for twenty miles around. After being constable a year or two, he took to hard drinking, and became poor. Finally, he determined to reform, but found it hard work to quit his drinking habits. One day a man brought a horse to be doctored. "The horse seems to be sound," said tho man, " but you see he won't drink." 3NTew Millinery JOHN MACLABEN, always on hand, june 17, 1843, The undersigned would respectfully annonncc to his old friends and the public that be has opened an establishmcntof the above description in tho room next door south ofShifler k Lance s old stand, where be is well stocked with Gentlemen's, Ladies, Misses and Children's Shoes of the very best manufacture.

A Repentant Rebel.—While our surgeons at Gettysburg were attending to the wounded as they were brought to the hospitals, without regard to the side upon which they had fought, a rebel colonel, covcrcd with blood, was ordered to be placed in a bath. Ho was lifted carefully in, and then, casting his eyes about him, upon those who had taken him up so tenderly, burst into a flood of tears, and wept liko a child. Recovering himself, he said to those around him : " I hope I shall be forgiven for raising my hand against the stars and stripes, and if I recover from these wounds I will not only never do tho like again, but try to make amends, so far as I can, for the wrong I have done."

Kilpatrick last week were attracted toward a little fellow in his company, evidently quite a pet, who wore the dress of the cavalry service, with spurs and trappings, and m jackct bespattered with mud, showing the evidence of his late adventures among the rough riders of Ivilpatrick's force. Upon inquiry of the General, the following story of tho lad was told: He was born in England, where his parents still reside, and came to this country with an elder brother, who is now a member of an infantry regiment in the Potomac army. Taking a fancy to the cavalry service, he managed to get a horse, and fell in as a soldier. After one of the recent fights, the General noticed him grieving over the loss of his horse. A day or two Inter, seeing him near his tent, ho asked him to do an errand to his adjutant general. When he arrived at his destination, the officer asked, " Who are you, sir V " Aid-do-camp to Gen. Kilpatrick, sir," was tho prompt reply. Now our young hero had made his point. He was at onoe adopted into tho military family of the General, who assured the writer that no man in his oommand would better convey an order upon the field. At the battle of Gettysburg he took himself threo prisoners, ono being very tall, his head, while standing, being as high as the young cavalryman seated upon his horse. Bringing his prisoner to headquarters, oonfronting the General, he says: " General, what do you think of that ?" He has been in sev. enteen battles with his favorite General, who in turn now proposes to give his gallant and faithful young friend a good education.
