nad seen q certain sergeant, Joseph EdFFlSl VINO
was wounded and disabled for life, at the bat
tie Of Palo Alto. We have since been inform
ed, by good authority, that Paris is not exact
ly the soldier he Processes to be; but from per-
sonal knowledge of his having been a member
of the light artillery when stationed at Fort Nc
Henry, we were induced to believe his pausi-
BILE story. Although crippled in the manner we
stated, but by different means, we are author
lied to say, that he never was on the Rio
| Grande, but was discharged from the army be-
I fore the commencement of the Mexican war
He is an object Of charity from his helpless
CONDITION, but is not entitled to any credit as
to his ever having been wounded in the U. S.
service.
Liberal Offer. We learn from the Patriot
that q gentleman of this city, owner Of two eli
! gible lots in Green Mount Cemetery, has Of
fe'ed them for tho purpose of building a sepul-
chre-"a resting place for the brave soldiers Of
Baltimore, who lost their lives at the battles of
Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Monterrey;
and for others, whose spirits may yet go out
ere the strife is ended. 1t has been further pro-
posed to have erected over the patriotic sepul-
chre, neat and appropriate monument, with
the names of the illustrious dead inscribed
thereon, so that it may stand in after ages
memento Of their valor and noble deeds" We
hope the offer may be accepted, and that the
proposition will be carried out by the patriotic
citizens of the "City Of Monuments.

WEIGH & DELAvAN's NATIONAL CIRCUS. The
new piece called tThe Campaign of 1876; or the
Triumphs of OLD Rough aad Ready in Mexico " will
be played for the third time at this popular place of
amusement This evening The piece is full of exciting
incidents-is well gotten up, and will have great
run. Some of the characters, however, we think a
little overdrawn, for instances: that of the Yankee
saor also, Bridget o'sullivan, the Great Western,
and the Negro. If these three characters were cut
down somewhat, it would have the effect of adding
greatly to the popularity of the piece Previous to
the play, variety of excellent ring performances
will take place as usual,
