"ALL ROUND MY uAr."-Thc gross
insult offered to the President of tho
United States, ia but one among Sc
ries of incidents which but plainly
show that il is a fatality Of General
Pierce to be wounded in the hat. For,
Firstly, a ball passed through his hat
during his campaign in Mexico, (some
say tho hat was on his head at the
time, others declare that it was on a
train of baggage and ammunition y
Secondly, Henry says he once saw a
hat fall from the Generals head, in
front Of the Cerro Gordo House, now
Burnham's Hotel, in this village, ow.
ing to the uneasiness Of a horse at
tached to a wagon in which he was a.
bout to take ride. Thirdly, George
Smith sat dorm on the Generals hat
as it lay where he placed 1t for few
moments on a seat in railroad car,
in train passing from Concord to
Wier's landing, in the summer of 49,
50; Fourthly, as the President was
riding horseback, with his hat held 10
his hand for a few minutes, in the pro-
cession in the streets of New York, al
tho opening of the Crystal Palace,
year ago or more, another horse be-
coming restive, rushed with its rider
up against the Generals horse, and SO
squatted and crushed the top of his
hat, that when he hurredly put it on
his head, without observing its condi-
ton, it looked shocking bad," and
caused much merriment among the
crowd I; and FGthly, and lastly, il
was knocked offby boiled egg, Il
