These reasons I might have read in Stackhouse itself, if I had been old enough, and have read them in that very book since I was older, but at that time I looked at little beyond the picture. These stories of witches so terrified me, that my sleeps were broken, and in my dreams I always had a fancy of a witch being in the room with me.
As nearly all regimental commanders had been killed since the 6th of May, I will give them as they existed on the 1st of June, three weeks later: Second Major Wm. Wallace. Third Lieutenant Colonel W.D. Rutherford. Seventh Captain James Mitchel. Eighth Major E.S. Stackhouse. Twentieth Lieutenant Colonel S.M. Boykin. Third Battalion Captain Whitener. Brigade Commander Colonel James Henagan.
I heard the superintendents and managers of the Cambria Iron Works saying they doubted if the works will be rebuilt. This would mean the death blow to the place. Mr. Stackhouse, first vice-president of the iron works, is expected here to-day. Nothing can be done until a meeting of the company is held. Preparations for Burial.

There was Joe Stackhouse the besom-maker, familiarly known as Besom-Joe, William Throup the postman, Tommy Thwaite the "Colonel," so called for his willingness to place his advice at the service of any of the Allied Commanders-in-Chief, and Owd Jerry the smith, who knew how to keep silent, but whose opinion, when given, fell with the weight of his hammer on the anvil.
"But even if it is I don't believe Pike and those fellows would know enough to get it out unless they had all day to work at it; and what would we be doing all that time?" "Shooting," said Jim Stackhouse; but I thought he said it as if he would rather be doing anything else.
