the above seige; the Albany Argus says
that sat the time Of ricobhet firing by the

the head of an officer and the hand of the
person shaving him. A lieutenant had just
arisen from his bed to pour some water from
pitcher, and when he replaced his head

il away. The preservation of the Irish Sn-

left his uniform coat hanging in the tent.

skirt, and fourished it before his compan-
ions as proof of his lucky escape "for by
the powers" said he, Il was afher putting
