Helen Thompson, in Brooklyn Magazine. A Toy from Antietam's Field. Gen. Hector Tindale post, No. 1G0, of this city, has been presented with a small brass cannon, which is apparently a toy, but it has a historical interest.

Among the 100 000 men with whom he fought there was not one with whom he had any personal acquaintance. While thus engaged he was shot, it is be lieved, by a Confederate sharpshooter. When found he was lying upon his face, with his body across the little gun.

After his death the cannon was kept until re cently, when it was sold for old brass and brought to this city with other old metals. A comrade of the Tyndaie post, who is an extensive metal broker, learned the history of the little piece of artillery, then dirty and corroded, and presented it to the Society.
