HE BECAME A HERO.
A Story Illustrative of the Error
of Hasty Judgment.
A Kentucky newspaper, the
Harrodsburg Democrat, says
that some “ex-Confederates”
were swapping war stories re
cently, when one of the follow
ing, which conveys a wholesome
lesson against hasty judgement:
Just before the battle of Mur
freesboro a detachment of Mor
gan’s command was guarding a
mountain pass a few miles from
Bradyville, Tenn. A portion of
the valley leading to the pass
was densely wooded and swam
py. The marshy ground abound
ed in bullfrogs of huge propor
tions, and the trees afforded a
roosting place for numerous
owls. Among the soldiers was a
stripling by the name of Spree
leer. It was a wild and windy
night when Spreeler was called
upon to do guard duty
About 1 o’clock when the sky
was of a leaden hue and the
wind sighed fitfully through the
trees, an owl on a nearby limb
hooted:
“Who—who—who are you?”
“John Spreeler,” exclaimed
the sentinel, trembling in his
boots.
Just at that moment a bullfrog
in deep bass tunes, seemed to
say :
“Stir—sur—surround him !’’
“I’ll be hanged if you do,”
exclaimed Spreeler, as he fired
his musket and broke for camp,
which had been thrown into the
wildest contusion by the alarm,
which was supposed to mean
that the enemy was attacking
the outposts.
When the true state of affairs
was understood the other men
made life a burden for John un
til the battle of Murfreesboro,
when the Lincoln county strip
ling was promoted for conspicu
ous bravery. He was afterward
assigned to Bragg’s army, and
died like a hero at the “battle
above the clouds” wh’le in the
forefront of the charge, trying
, to c pike an enemy’s cannon.
Fresh new pickles, all styles,
in bulk and fancy packages, just
arrived at Lloyd’s, where you
’ will find the best of everything
to eat.
