LETTER FRO3I A PRISONER AT SIR-

PHEROPOL.

The following letter has been received by the wife
of Colour-Sergeant John Scott, of the 38th Regiment, from
her husband, a prisoner in the beads of the nalleiltlll.
Sergeant Scott was at the battles of Alma and Inkermann,
and served in the trenches during the winter. His wife bee
previously received three or four letters from her husband,
all equally creditable to him. There are, no doubt, these
who would gladly embrace an opportunity, such as may
shortly offer, to solace the worthy man in his captivity :
" Simphtropol, 7th July, 18643.
" My dear Wife,—lt is with gladness I embrace the op-
portunity to send you these few lines, to let you know I am
living and well in health—thank God for it! My dear, I
trust this will find you in better heslth than your last letter
left you. I have only received one letter from you since
you went home. I pray God this will find both you and
the dear children well. My dear wife, Iwu taken pri-
soner on the 18th of June, when the assault took place on
Sebastopol. I was on the storming party. I received two
bayonet wounds; one on the left hip, and the other in the
left side, which is nearly healed up. I also received a
wound on the top of the head, which is also cloud. I left
a letter with Mrs. Smith, to send you in cue anything hap-
pened to me in the attack, and also to inform you that I
sent you 61., in a remittance voucher, on the 17th of June,
which I hope you will receive safe and soon. My dear wife,
you mast not fret for me, as I trust the war will bo sun
over, and then I trust we shall meet again. I meet with a
pod deal of kindness from some of the Russian officers.
We get plenty to ea', and very good in quslity. My dear
wife, my only want in this place it a little money, and then
I could get anything that I want from town. I bad not a
copper in my pocket when I was taken, as I had given
31. 10s. to Sergeant M'Faddon the day before. My deer
wife, you can inquire at home if you can send me a letter, as
I should like to bear from you. If you send, direct it to
' John Scott, 38:h Regiment, Prisoner of war at dimpbere-
poL' Give my love to my mother, and also to Edward and
Mrs. Davis. I must now conclude, praying that we may
meet again. K..t* the dear children for me.—l remain you
affectionate husLod until death,
" Joss SCOTT, Colour-Sergeant, 38th Regiment."

gether was caoriderabiy under last 'ear. The grilse fishing
was fully equal to that of last year. Towards the clime the
rod fishing became very productive. In the Findhorn, the
fishing, though backward at the commencement, was before
the close, most productive, and this river has this lemon
fully sustained its former high character as a good salmon
river. The Daveron has thisseason fished remarkably well
the grills bare been plentiful, giving promise of a good
salmon fishing neat season. The Ness has also improved.
The Dee and Don have fished pretty well, particularly in
the early part of the season. The sea &kings hays also
yielded a fair average.—Banffshire Journal.
