Crawling Into n Rabbit-Hole.
I was in Hood's corps, under command
of Johnston, in Georgia, when tho follow
ing event occurred, and notwithstanding
that we were engaged in fighting it made'
all laugh who suw it. It was at Now
Hope Church, where wo had thrown up
temporary breastworks, and slept in tlio
trenches upon our arms. During tlw
niglit we were aroused from our slumber
by what wo believed a tremendous dis
charge of musketry nnd roaring of cannon
nt our immediate front. Tlie blaze of tlie
etiomy’s guns made tho woods look like
one unbroken sheet of flume. .Minnio
balls, grape, and canister shells wero
whistling through tlie air and bursting
everywhere, cutting down tho timber
and producing n havoc and confusion
that cannot be described.
At this time one of our boys had taken
refuge behind a large hollow tree, out of
which a rabbit lind been chopped, nml
behind him six others hn.l also taken
shelter, standing with their hands cm U
one upon the shoulders of the one in
front of him. Whenever a shell burst in
tho neighborhood of these boys tho front
one would try with all his might to crawl
into that hollow tree, and the roar boys
would swerve nnd veer like a comet’s
tail or the left wing of a regiment.
We laughed at these poor boys’ antics
afterward until the cruel war was over.
And, after all, the tight w is a falso alarm.
Tho Feberals thought that wo had
charged their lines, and we that they had
charged ours. Soon the firing ceased
and wo were again sleeping in tho
trenches. Such is war nnd tlio alarms of

laughing at tho conduct of our comrades,
but then, you know, a laugh is no re
specter of persons, etc. The most laugh
able part of tho whole qulsode was tho

The Frightful Death of a Father In Llh-
rrty County, Georgia.
A shocking tragedy was enacted near
Ilinesvillc, Ga., Friday. Pat Martin, a
widower, living with his three little boys,
the oldest being about twelve years of
age, was killed by them while sleeping
on a cot in tlie front piazza of his house,
j They went to the house of an mint
\ and confessed the horrible deed, saying
| that their father lmd whipped them and
threatened to choke and cut their throats
when lie had taken a nap. The boy:, sr-
i cured an ax, and while lie slept aimed
i three or four blows at his head, killing
him before he could rise. The boys arc
small for their age, having always been
considered sickly. Martin was addicted
to drinking, but as he worked hard at a
neighbor’s house up to dinner time, and
tlie killing took place immediately after,
it is not probable that lie was in liquor.
