out some weeks, suspecting this free shay
ing-for Bill kept his secret well-was
but dodge to entice customers away,
who would soon be charged as usual but,
when at the end of six weeks he found
Billy working away as usual, charging
not cent for his labor, and having money
to spend into the bargain, he came to the
conclusion that he must have drawn a
prize in the lottery, or stumbled upon a
gold mine, and was keeping barber
shop for fun. 50 he closed his shop in de-
spair, and left the place.
Meantime Bill Harrington" kept on
busy as bee, and one fine morning his
employer stepped in and, without word,
set down and was shaved on rising from
his chair he asked to see the score for
the six months past. The barber exhib-
tied it, and after careful calculation, the
old man said:
Plenty of customers, eh ?"
"Lots of 'em," said the barber; "nev-
err did such business in my life :"
ven, replied money Dags, you
have kept the account well. see I've
paid you one hundred and twenty dollars
:or services,-all right,-and there are
three hundred and thirty charged tor

turc cost one hundred and two dollars
Here it is. Now you own this furniture,
and are to have this shop rent free, six
months longer, and after to-day you are
to charge the regular price for work, for
your pay f,'om me stops to-day
This of course the barber gladly assent
ed to.
But" said the old man, on leaving,
take care you never cheat man by
charging ten times the usual price for a
shave; for it may be another old Billy

The Erening Post Of the 23d says
that at least twelve steamers are now fit
ing at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and
nearly ready for sea. 1t also says that
probably fifty vessels of various sizes will
be ready to sail within two weeks, for
blockading and cruising purposes. The
lack of men for the Navy has been the
great difficulty in fitting out our fleets.

Ar,--"Haii to the Chief"
Sons of Dirigo we Joyfully greet you,
Clad 10 the armor OF justice and truth
Firm as the pine tree, when foemen shall meet
you,
Stand by the banner you've loved from your
youth.
Soon may that banner wave,
Over each traitors grave
Crushed be the treason-triumphant the right,
While the whole land shall ring,
Praise to Jehovah King,
Who moves the arm and the heart for the fight
Sons of Dirigo march onward to glory
Green be your laurcls and safe your return;
Proudly your kindred shall list to the story,
Proud, tho in sorrow your loss they may mourn.
Free as the ocean wind,
Still may your country find
Each to his duty true-swift to obey
Thus shall the Sons of Maine,
Honor and victory gain
While the whole world owns Columba's sway!

Our news dispatches from Washington are
chiefly occupied with details of the Edwards
Ferry battle. full list of the killed and
wounded is furnished, ard also some further
particulars touching the fight itself and its in
cidents. The insufficient transportation seems
to have been frghtful source Of disaster III
this affair. 1t is understood that macy of the
missing soldiers are safe in the houses of loyal
men along the shore, whittier they were carried
by the current when they leaped into the
river. The record OF this engagement is
bright with instances OF u courage such as
cannot be surpassed. The rebels were yester'
dav active az and around their fort, between
Leesburg and the river; it was thought that
they were replacing their advance guard
which had been Withdrawn, and that there Is
strong rebel force between the two points
mentioned. They were not, however, distinctly
seen.
The order of Gen. Stone, on which Col.
Baker was acting when he fell, was found
near his body, as It has been already stated.
