He ordered a hair, looked steadily In that direction for a short time, and then, iu his loud voice, asked If they were peaceable citizens or were in arms. As no answer came back, he a? ain made the aame request, calling louder, if possible, than the first time, with the addition thai if they didn't answer hint Immediately he would fire. As before, there was no an­ swer, ̂ o he turned to the captain of the two piece* of artillery, who had been viewing them with bis field-glass, and Who was nearly expiring with laughter and ordered him to load one of his guns with shell and send it over to see if they wouldn't answertv The first shell fell a little short, but the second drop­ ped closa to the house. Then com­ menced the fun. There had been a herd of cattle quietly feeding on the side hill, but when that screeching shell dropped 'amohfe them they, hoisted their tails and away thfcy went over tiie hill for another pasture ground out «( the reach of NeUou's shells.
