To THK EDITOR:--If you will pormlt me I will se«x>nd the motion of the comrade froiu Hartford, Ky., in regard to that "pruning*' of the thorns and dead liuibs that hAve grown out so thickly from the tree known aa the Pension Bureau, and which make it so difficult, and ott'en impossible, for the soldier to climb up to the limb where- on hangs the pension which he and his comrades and his neighbors all know he ought to have.

To THK EDITOR:--If there are any members of the Second Division living I would like to ask them if they re­ member that Sunday morning when Gen. John W. Geary came along and asked the boys if they would like to have some "fun." We were laying In camp on the Rappahannock River; the enemy's picket on oue side and ours on the other. The fun was to cross over the river and take away several acres of bay which the Confederates had been to the trouble of curing and had it in condition to haul away. Of course the boys did not mind having.a little Sunday picnic. The General ordered out two brass pieces and planted them on an elevated piece of ground; order­ ed a detail of infantry, a good-sized company, and crossed them over the river in nnold flatboat. They deployed as skirmishers as soon as they reached the opposite side. In close order came all the available horses and mu.es that could be found, with a rider supplied with rope to make bundles of hay and throw it across the animal's back and ford the river, take it to the Quarter master and return for more, i guess the Johnnies did not know what the movement was for until it was too late, a« there was not much of a force ctme to oppose u&. A few shots were ex­ changed, but nobody was hurt, and our side scored another victory.--J. E. CHAFFEE. Howe POH NO. 3, G. A. R , New Orleans, La.--National T'ibune. Ho Was Certainly Shot. To 'THE EJMTOR:--In the number of Oct. 1 1 see a ctynmunicatiou from W. W. Alien, SignM officer of the Seven­ teenth Corps, in which he describes the selection Iroin atnoftg the prisoners In our hands of one to be shot for retalia­ tion for the murder of one of our foragers. The description is so nearly Identical with a case which came wider my own observation, that I take it to be the same. It occurred about the 2d of March; at least I think It wa9 the day before we entered* Che raw, on the Pee Dee River. We were camped near a creek between Lynch*a Creek and Cheraw. I belonged to the Pioneer Corps of the Fourth Division. Seven­ teenth Corps, The Fourth Division was commanded by Gen. Giles A.Smith and it was fiom among his prisoners that the lot WAS to be drawn, some 200 In number. I was cooking by a fire within 200 yards and In sight of where it, occurred. Some of my tneas went over to witness the drawing, and ̂ re­ ported about as follows: The ballots were all drawn but some 19' or 15, when a tall and aged man stepped up and tremblingly njut his |a«jk ^nto the hat. drawing the After he recovered from ij$i shock!,' lie said: *'I ne^fer V*hav<!,- an" never Intended to Are a gen at a U soldier.

I turned my back on the scene, when presently, crash, went.a volley of mus­ ketry that sent a thrill dt.horror through my whole nervous system such aa I never experienced during the whole of my three years' service. Bnt the worst feature of the whole affair was (hat the first volley did not prov? fatal. He sank against the root of | pine tree, and exclaimed: wMy Godi boys! don't butcher me." As I looked In the direction of the scene a reserve file of soldiers was marching up with their muskets at a ^boulder, when I again turned my back, but could not close uiy ears upon the terrible crash of the second volley, which proved fatal. Sueh are the legitimate re«uks and fruits of what Is oalled civilized warfare. I was informed that this was the result of finding one of ear regu­ larly-detailed foragers (with a pass lit Ills pocket) Hanging to an apple tree with a note stuck in his mouth, on which was written the words "Death to all Foragers."--JONATHAN THATCHER, Co.

" 1 J At Christmas, 1864, some BOO of us were sent from the prison at Salisbury to anotl|er prison, known as the Cathb lie Camp, where a priest came amongstf UB and ministered to our spiritual necessities. He then got our names and nationality, and said he would do something to better our condition. We were subsequently called and taken-un­ der guard to said prison cain^. Some­ time after the priest made strong and eloquent appeal' to us to join the rebel cause and service, which all of -us re­ fused. Our treatment was as bad aa In the other pen, the only difference be­ ing that we got plenty ot water and wood. We were also allowed, or rather compelled, to attend Divine service. They tried us In every imaginfthle way, offered us bread and bacon and •50 bounty If we would join their ser- vce, which we indignantly refused. I remember with pride how our brave fellows scoffed at them. They told us the alternative was death bystarva tlon One poor fellow toid them to starve and be d d. After all this endurance these men are accused of joining the rebel army. If the simple fact of being transferred from one prison to another makes us deserters, then we are guilty. It Is a grievous wrong If the few survivors of that prison must be falsely branded as de­ serters, traitors, cowards and perjurers and the memory of the minority, whe are mustered out. pass Into history as such --A. MCDONALD, Norfolk, Va. Mjr A young postmaster of a village postofflce was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard upon the door, and In steppod a bashful maiden of sixteen, with a money order, which she desired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bashful smile, who after closely examining it, handed ber the money it called for. At the same «ime he asked her if she had read what was written ou the margin of the or­ der. i - "No, I have not," she replied, ufor I can not make it out. Will you please read It for iue ?" The young postmaster read as fol­ lows: "1 send you three dollars and a dozen kisses.1* Glancing at the bashful girl, lie said: k'Now I have paid you the money aud I suppose you want the kisses." "Yes," she said, "If he lias sent me any kisses I want them, too. It is hardly necessary to say that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in a scieutitle manner at that and eminently satisfactory to the country maideh, for she went out of the office smacking her Hps as it there was a taste upou them was never en­ countered before. After she arrived home she remark­ ed to her mother: "Eh, mother, »»ut postofflce system of ours is a great tbing, developing more and more every year, and eaoli new feature added seems to be the best.

Schultz has ihouglit of a way to fight tornadoes, which he de- sjsribes in a letter to the Scientific American. His plan* brief, is to blow them up with gunpowder. A keg of powder is to be kept to the southwest of the house or village to be protected/ The reason for placing It at that par* ticular point of the compass is because experience shows that tornadoes gen­ erally move toward the northeast* When the black and dreadful funnel of a torn idoe-cloud is perceived bpundlng whirling and roaring across the coun­ try toward the powder-keg, Mr. Schultz would have a cool headed man wheel the powder into line with the ap­ proaching storm, then retire about one hundred yards to the northwest, wait until the devouring monster was just over the keg. and then fire the powder --by electricity, we suppose. Bis idea Is that. 48 it is a well known character­ istic of tornadoes to take long leaps through the air, sometlmea skipping wide reaches of country,, a charge ot gunpowder properly applied would give a tornadoe a lift that would save a village. Mr. Schultz also thinks that a torna­ do mi£ht not merely be bounced in this manner, but that with sufficiently large charges of powder It could be an­ nihilated At any rate, by means of a series of explosions, properly timed, Mr. Schultz believes that tornadoes could be kept, as he says, "on high, spending their force to no disadvant­ age to mankind below." Democratic papers M,ve prated about Republican frauds In Cincinnati* and have claimed that Demock*ats bare been no worse than the Republicans In that city. Tha following remarks at a recent meeting in Cincinnati, by a life long Democrat, show what party puw petuates the frtudtf: At the meeting of the committee of one hundred, Capt, W. P. Anderson, who belongs to one of the best families in the cily. spoke as follows: I desire to preface a statement I am about to make with a few personal remarks.
