Hope in connection with the march of
tho Dianiond-Field Horse to the scene
of operations in Ba.stitoland toward the

bringing seventeen horses with their
riders to the ground, and killing ten
men and live horses on the spot. Thoso
who were not killed were all seriously
injured, and it was long before anima
tion could bo restored in the case of
seven of the men. The bits and stirrup
irons of the whole number were black

personally uninjured, had their clothing
rent by the force of the electric dis
charge. The greatest difliculty was
naturally experienced in preventing a

peers, whose honors had descended to
their eldest son by a former marriage,
discarded the Dowager before their
names in favor of their Christian
names. Thus the widow of Lord Ailes
