Booty at Shiloh and Just Returned to
the Soldier's Widow.
From the Toledo Blade.
S. R. Maclaren relates an interesting story showing how articles whioh
sire lost often return after many years.
Ue begins in this mannes; "One of
the strangest true stories I ever heard
came to my knowledge when I was
down in Richmond a few weeks ago.
A Richmond friend of mine started
to tell me about the strange experience of a well-to-do farmer and bis
wife from Peoria, III., wbo were seeing the sights in that oountry at the
time I was there. We were then in
the depot waiting for a train, and
the old couple came in, so my friend
left them to tell the story, as we
were to travel on the same train. It-
seems that while they were walking
throngh the old capital of the confederacy at Richmond they stopped
before the piotnre of General Sydney
Johnston, the great southern general, who lost his life in the battle of
Shiloh. Tbe name was to be seen
in large letters upon the frame and
the old gentleman said: 'Why wife,
I do believe that's the name that is
in the old watoh we have at home.,
Thiity odd years ago three fellows
from the town near whioh the farmer lived enlisted iu the army and
were in the battie of Shiloh. When
they returned one of them had a
watch he wished to dispose of for
cash. He said that he and one of
his companions had found the dead
body of a confederate officer, upon
which was found a handsome sword
and gold watch. His companion
took the sword and he the watch.
"The old farmer was one of the
directors of the bank whioh took the
watch as a security for a loan of $100.
The man left the town, and the
watch laid there so long that finally
the farmer said he would pay the
money and take tbe watoh. The
name of Sidney Johnston was engraved upon it, but evidently the
man did not read the papers, or he
would have known the name. His
ignorance will not be wondered at
when it is known that he was the
victim of a gold briok swindle reoent-
"The farmer had thought of making a present of the watch to some
historical society, but had put it off
from time to time, so he still had it
in his possession when he saw his
picture. My friend overheard his
remarks to his wife, so he spoke to
them, saying that he was well acquainted with the widow of Fitz
Hugh Lee, a relative of the widow of
Sidney Johnston. They seemed
anxious to see Mr. Lee, so he took
them to him, and they arranged to
send the watch to him with the understanding that he was to present
it to tbe widow of Sidney Johnston,
who probably has it by this time, as
the incident ooourred several weeks
ago, and the old man intended to express it immediately upon his return
home. He seemed delighted at finding the owner, and wben asked if he
wished any recompense, he said: No
it wonld be the greatest pleasure to
me to present it to the owners.' He
would not even think of suoh a thing
as accepting the $100 which he had
given for it."
He has relatives in this oity and they
are about to aid him in carrying out
ihe one wish of his life, and that is
to go to the battlefield where he was
captured during the war and hunt
for his old rifle that in the last moment he threw into a stream of water.
It was in 1861, when the regiment
was in the Cumberland, and just
after a number of the brief but sharp
encounters of the campaign, bnt the
old soldier was out with a scouting
party in the Cumberland gap. They
were surprised some distance from
their lines by a company of confederates, and when it was seen that escape was impossible tbey determined
they would not allow* the confederates to have the use of their weapons
at any rate. Breaking the locks and
otherwise rendering them unfit for
use, they threw them upon the
ground and waited doggedly for the
capture that they saw oonld not be
avoided.
Capt. Jones, more bitter than the
rest, and determined that no confederate should ever have any good from
his rifle, beat the gun around a tree
that stood near and hurled it into a
small stream that winds throngh the
low land of tbe gap. He with all
the others of the little band, was
captured and taken away from the
place, and, as fortune would bave it
none of them ever returned to that
spot where the guns were thrown
away.
Capt. Jones is now an old, gray-
haired man, and, notwithstanding
the faot that he rose from the ranks
and carried better weapons than his
old rifle, he is now taken with a
strong desire to revisit the place where
he was captured and search for the
gun. He says he is positive that he
can find it, for where he threw it into the water the stream was very
sluggish and deep, and the bottom,
as he knew, was covered with two
feet of mud. It was at the bend of
the stream, where there was small
likelihood of a rise or swift current
that would be able to carry the old
weapon down the stream. He also
deolares that he will be able to recognize the gun from its being bent
and broken. Wheather there is any
chance of finding the gun or not, the
friends of Capt. Jones are going to
afford him the opportunity of revisiting the old field and searching for
the lost rifle, whioh if found, will
fulfill the last hope of the old soldier
and cause him the greatest happiness
that can possibly come to him.-Cin-

I am sorry to learn that tbe school
board is divided in the selection of a
teacher for the Sheridan 'school. We
have nothing in this but the good of the
school. For two reasons Mr. Glasgow
should have the school. First he bas
taught the school the two last terms and
I understand has the endorsement of a
majority of the citizens and of course
knows exactly where to start each pupil at the commencement of the term
which would be a decided advantage.
Second he Is tied at home on' account ot
having a family and is a taxpayer here.
