The Fedora's were around the house before

the men were a.-loep. As 'I'illtitnu .Mi!wood
jumped "tit to run oil' lie was shot down. Some
got away and the ie?t were captured. The
enemy moved on hastily toward the picket post,
an I met I.unartiiio I'eake anil Th s. Kidgers
who were returning with c fodder for their
stock. They had heard the firing and wore
suspicious that K-thi ig was wrong. Coming
suddenly upon 11, -m in 'lie road they wheeled
their horses and mi :upte i to e- ape. Thont.

shot in cold bio d i:i 1 killed. Our men got it
this way, and I have ;?? I u to think that
it was so, too. This impression incensed our
tncti so that their indignation knew no bounds.
An opportunity to avenge Limit's death was
not long iu presenting itself. At Olive 1!ranch
Church, ou the 7th of February, 'C.tJ tho opportune
moment arrived. Mighty-four of our
Cavalry, backed by the t!i Virginia Infantry,
were called upon to re! oi their pledges.
We met a force of between L." >'> and do J Federal
Cavalry at that time an I pi ice commanded
by Captain Faith, of oth I'outi. Cavalry who.
it >vus alleged, had killed f.imariiue Meeting
the cnorny suddenly V .1. Tabb, of the 5'Jth
Virginia hastily formed his line without :iu effort
to conceal his position, ami this enabled
the Federal commander to halt his column behind
a hill and protect them from the lire of
the Infantry. Nearly every nun a 1 horjoon
the top of the hill and in sight of the Infantry
were killed or wounded. Our cavalry line
was formed in rear of the church (a hriek
structure) ami parallel with the road on which
the enemy were advancing. As soon as the Infantry
had'ecascd tiring' we were ordered to
diargc. As the line moved forward at the
gallop the cry was raised, 'now is the time to
jvcrage the death of Lamar 1'oake . With this
ipurs were plungeil into the sides of lite faithut
u.n.gviN who brought their riders iuto the
V-dovaic cavalier's. In their rout Hie
on c i cor.eial direction of the
road, tliougli most ot ittein orcd
through the fields. At a narrow place in n.o
r<>ad a number of Yankees and horses were
piled up and as John I'auce't. who as riding
a large hay horse that Mrs. 1;ico ha t given the
company al its formation, came upon ttiem, the
horse made a sjuing ami 1'tided himself on
the* opposite silo, tossing dohn fii top of

This hviso was our greatest loss iliai evening.

church to 'six mile ordinary' a distance of \
milts) it was a whipping rate, d|>risoucrs
and about us many horses, together with a lot
of arms was the result of the evening's work.
About a dozen Federals were killed, and a
gnat many horses were killed and wounded,
so as to render them useless. At Williamsburg
we had got a great many improve I arms mid as
a eoiise'|iienco our men were now equipped so
as to do good service. Most of them had unproved
army pistols and brctvh-hi iding earhints.
In this raid the writer with several
other- was determined to arm himself completely
at the expense of the I.S., and dashing
upon an trdetly sergeant, presented a six
shooter ami ordered hint to ii.ili, stu render

his lady friend the writers respects and also .o
tell her that he would take good care ot it.
Morgan Letch had on the sabre and bolt when
he was killed at liiddlcs Shop, Juno IX. ill.
and it may be the sabre and bolt got back to
its original owner.

introduced during the last twenty ^
jams or so. aod unlike the experience of
other trades, the machine work about nced
es is not only cheaper but belter.
The late l novelty, and one which is ^
proucuuccd a sneee-s, is the '^roovin^.'
machine f ?r making sowing machine nee- j\
dies (lie old stamping process being thereby
superseded. Work <1 -no by the 'grooving'
machine i* better ami truer, besides being
more economical. T'.i - old process of ether |)
giidiug has been aim entirely superseded 1 f
by the newer and improved method of eloctro
gelding. lledditc'.i is becoming a rival a]
of Birmingham in t!. nianufaeture of pins, (r
the ordinary cctninon household pin be ng r>
supplemented by shawl ami .scarf pins, with ^
glass and steel beads. About two tons
weight of pins of nil sorts are made in
Keddiieh weekly. According to the latest
phase which ingenious enterprise lias taken
in this trade, the producti n ought to in- j.
crease by 'leaps and bound: / lor an attempt
is being made to so reconstruct the machines
that they may produce two pins at a C
time instead of one. llodditch produces
every week Tan average of 20,000,000 fish
hooks of ali descriptions, from that re"
(juire'd by the angler n." minnows in the
&ticamlet to that ado} I for pike and
salmon fishermen. .ehiuery is very
largely u-ed in the manufacture of iish
hooks, and in conncciiou with the smaller
class of sea hooks, electro tinning is being
extensively adopted. Fishing rods, floats
and swivels now constitute important sc
branches of Jlcdditch industry,and a con- ni
sKioruuio traue is growing up iu the pro- 8j
