THE CROSBY CAMP.—Visitors to the aamp are as
numerous as ever, and their presentee is always wel-
comed. To such, hospitality is the order of the day,
and many of the visitors have acknowledged the atten-
tion shown by returns of the same kind. The occupants
of one tent are made happy by the present of a " delicious
pie," and ap.otker 1,14eS Perry over a "good fat capon,"
while the whole carop, the other evening, TpFe tilled
with gratitnde towards a Well-linown and universelly-
fespactcd tobacco dealer, of Castle-street, who gave each
man a large quantity of his famons " American solace."
Such acts as these are ever pleasing to TWA for they
speak volumes for themselves. The latest proceeding of
this nature occurred a few days ago, when Arthur Bower
Forwood, Est, of the eminent firm of Leech,
and Forwood, addressed a letter to Colonel Bousfield, in
whip?, after expressing his entire sympathy with the
Yolunteer movemept, in all its bearings, hd begged his
acceptance of a cheque for 2t:4, which he desired might
be distributed amongst the Meg es prizes in the way the
g4llent colonel should see fit. The letter was read on
parade, and was rw.eiveA by the '}en with hearty and
deservedly-merited cheers.—pest.
