Am Exciting Incident.

A member Of the Connecticut Fifth
Regiment Volunteers, with General
Banks Division in writing home, re-
lates the following incident
On last Thursday | was on. the sec
,ond relief guard, from IL q. m. to i
q, M when as | was treading nv beat,
guarding two springs of watersI tho't
| saw an object moving toward one of
the springs, at the farthest end of my
beat / stood for a moment and
watched when it remained stationary,
but when | turned to go on, it moved
a. ain; and at. that I challenged, but
got jto answer. | then challenged
again, and was about to do SO the
third time, when the thing sank Oh the
ground and began to move off. At
that / fired, at . distance Of about six
rods, when he fell with a groan like a
bull. AS soon as I, saw him fall, /
got my neighboring sentry to help me
carry him to the officer Of the guard,
to see where he was hurt On exam
ination, we found he was shot, as the
doctors say, in the groin. We had
his wound dressed, and took him to
the hospital, after taking away from
him pound and a half Of arsenic, with
which he was about to sweeten our
spring. The camp was thrown into
some excitement by the shot. We
found a revolver upon him, and why
be did not use it, ITdbn't know He
| is not fatally injured and / am glad
of it, as he deserves a worse death.

A Judge i'm a Fix.


An AWKWARD affair, which once oc-
Cured to one of the Judges on the
Western Circnit, has been the subject
Of much mirth 1t appears that the
pious judicial. having finished bis In
bors, and having cast off his, forensic
wig at his lodgings, had retired into
the next room to wait for his brother
judge, whom he was about to accom-
pany to some of the local aristocracy
to dinner. The female servant of the
house had entered the bedchamber by
a side door. and not knowing tat the
judge was in thenext room, in frolic
arrayed herself in the judge's wi :.
Just the moment when the fair NOISY
was sdniiring herself in the looking
glass, the judge unexpectedly entered
the GROOM . and poor Mopsy, catching
a sight of the stern conntenance look
ingover her shoulder in the glass, was
So alarmed that she tainted, and would
have fallen to the floor, if the learned
judge, iapelled by humanity, had not
caught her in his arms At this crit
zeal moment his brother judge arrived,
and opening the dressing room door,
with view to see if he was ready,
discovered his learned brother with
the fainting maid in his arms Not
wishing to interrupt what he thought
to.be an amour, he quickly attempted
to withdraw, when his brother judge
yociferated
For heavens sake, stop and hear
this matter explained
" Never mind, my dear brother; the
matter. explains ITSELF" and he left his
learned brother to recover the fainting
maid as he could.
A gentleman Who holds RESPONSE /,
BILE position under the Government,
concluded to change his lodgings -
He sent one of the walters of the ho-
telwhere he had selected apartments,
after his baggage
Meeting the waiter an hour or two
afterwards, he said .
s Well, John did you bring my bag
gage down r
