No FLATTERY.-A curious incident occurred
at one of the prayer meetings down town last
week An unetuOps brother, who it appears,
is o kind of outdoor clerk for enc of the lot

not far from the Park and who has been long
noted as one of the hardest kind of characters
after chuckling out in nasal spasms q general
confession of his sins, and exulting over his Gu
rious conversion" besought the prayers of the
assembly in his behalf
His request was Immediately complied with
by younger brother, who seemed well posted
on the past career and present mode of life of
the oily "convert.''
This gentleman instantly set upa fervd
prayer in behalf of Brother L-.n He i'm
plored for mercy for the corpulent sinner, al
though, as he averred, "Brother LIS long
life of fraud extended beyond the reach of mer-
cy that was not infinite in its nature" Brother

with his own solicitation, but quite regardless
of this, the scathing supplicator went on. Thou

The Battle OfLexlngtOn.

1t is very common error to speak of the
Battle of Lexington, when in fact there was no
battle there. The English troops eight hun
dred strong, under Col, Smith, left Boston qui'
etly in the evening of the 18th of April, to seize
the military stores which the Americans had
collected at Concord, fifteen miles distant. Al
half.past four next morning, Major Pitcairn
with six companies of infantry, arrived at Lex
ington Common. The people had been notified
of the expedition by Church bells and guns, and
Capt. Parker had assembled sixty or seventy OF
the militia on the Common. Major Pitcairn i'm
mediately ordered them to disperse. This they
did not do. They were then fired upon by the
British troops and about half dozen killed.
The militia then retreated across a swamp to a
rising ground. Colonel Smith with the remain
der of the troops now came up, and the whole
force proceeded rapidly to Concord, about six
miles, for the military stores, which had not
been carried off or concealed. The Americans
were increasing every moment. About noon
Col Smith commenced his return to Boston.
And now commenced the fighting The Amer-
cans under Col. Barrett, of Concord. hung on to
their flank and rear, and many of the English
troops were killed or wounded. Col. Smith had
sent to Boston for reinforcement, and he
would have inevitably been captured had it
not reached him. Lord Percy was sent with
brigade to his relief, aud joined him at two
O'Clock, within half mile of Lexington meet
ing house. After little rest to the troops, he
commenced his return-and finally escaped in
to Boston. The whole return, from Concord
to Boston, was one continued fight, or battle, or
skrmish, or whatever name it may be called.
The whole country was aroused. Thousands
of raw troops poured into Charstown and Cam
bridge. The battle of Bunker Hill followed on
the 18th June. The Americans lost the field for
want of amuniton-not for want of courage,

name with imperishable renown.
The British army of eight thousand men was
cooped up in Boston by the American army un-
der General Washington, who arrived at Cam.
bridge on the I'd day of July. On the 18th of
March, l776, they evacuted Boston and went TO
Halifax-exactly nine months after tho battle
of Bunker Hill.
