some serious trouble or disaster
was iny tending could

central' figure' of ? the group,
whose weather-beaten appear

of much exposure and hard

mand of the town. For mouths
Lynchburg had been used a de
pot fi r the collection of supplies
and at this especial time there
was still on hand a large sup
ply of stores.
Richmond gone and the war
practically ended, there was no
longer need of supplying troops,
and the authorities at the time
of which we write were making
arrangements for the systemat
ic distribution of provisions 10
the people of the town. L T u-
bapily these arrangements were
uot yet completed. While the
the war lasted no privations—
neither hunger, cold, nor bodi
ly pain—was too hard to bear,
j^ith fathers, brothers and sons
at the front, the women and
girls at home, wholly depend
ent on themselves, had suffered
without a murmur.
But now the sight of store
houses filled with soldiers who
would no longer need to be fed,
and the thought of their
famished condition, was more
thau their weak tiesfi and blood
could eudur?.
Inflamed and excited by a
few leading spirits, an immense
throng—mostly of wocueu and
children—had crowded into the
street, «£.
that come into their hands,
and with shouting and clamor,
were rushing towurd the officers.
‘Bread ! Bread ! We are
starving!” was their cry, and u
glance at their distorted aud de
termined faces showed that they
would stop at nothing to secure
their uid.
On they came, their number
swelling every moment, and
their yells mid cries filling the'
air. The general, knowing the
terrible results likely to follow
the capture of the stores by the
mob—there being liquors as
well as food in the warehouses
and coneious that what was
done must be done at once;
turned to one of his companions
and said, “Captain, order your
company here, sir, as quickly as
possible, and if that crowd does
licit scatter when I give the
word, fire upon them.”
The young officer, his face
flushing as he saluted, replied,
“General, my men do not fight
women and children, and, even
are ready.”

words, returned to their howling
and throwing stones.

doomed fort (Sumter,) ami by 1
o’clock the white flag was raised,
and the steamer from Charles

Linda Jeul, well known to Oir-

Flaming Zone,” and "Uie great and
only female hurdle rider,” writes
home from Mexico, under date of
Dec. 27. that she has been com

on account of cruel treatment.
Upon her return to this country
she will apply for a divorce. The
marriage took place at a hotel in
Jersey City, Dec. 17, in opposi
tion to the wishes of all her friends.
The couple were on a trip through
Mexico with a company. The
lady was the wife of the late Wil
liam 0,Dale Stevens, a well known
circus manager. LowandeJs said
to have been divorced from his
first wife on similar grounds. He
