quiet village. Among which was very inter
esting fishing party-composed of a number of

cient Village."-that started out with the ex-
pectation of spending few hours by way of
drawing-with hook and line the speckled
beauties out of our mountain streams, and hav-
ing pleasant time of it generally. About noon
we were all in readiness, waiting for Philips
Omnibus to come around. About 1 o'clock
the "buss', came, and we were soon seated com
fortably, and flying over the Plank Road at the
rate of 2,4O; enjoying ourselves in the extreme.
In a few minutes were safely landed at ''Mc
Manamy's Dam," aid Immediately commenced
preparing ourselves for fishing. We soon began
fishing, and found the fish were plenty, and of
nice size, for in a couple of hours caught elev-
en- trout, varying in length from seven to eigh-
teen inches, and about o'clock we met togeth-
ei and concluded to 90 home, when. in a short
time, we were safely back in Loretto with los
trout. So ended the fishing party

ELLswoRTH's L ETTER TO HIS PARENTs.-The
followin is copy of the last letter written by
the gala n, and lamented Col. Ellsworth, except
one to his affianced bride. written at the same
time, just before movin to Alexandria
My Dear Father and Mother The regiment
is ordered across the river tonight We have
no means OF knowing what reception we are to
meet with. am inclined to the opinion that
our entrance TO the city of Alexandria will be
hotly contested, as l am just informed a large
force has arrived these to-day. Should this hap
pen, MY dear parents il may be my lot to be
injured in some manner. Whatever may hap
pen, cherish the consola ion that was engaged
IN the discharge of a sacred duty and to night
thinking over the probabilities of the morrow
and the occurrences of the past, L am perfectly
content to accept whatever my fortune may be
confident that He who noteth even the falling oi
a sparrow, will have some purpose even in the
fate of one like me. My darling and ever loved
parents. good bye Go bless, Protect and care
for you.

Our correspondent informs US how many trout
he caught himself, but fails to post us with re-
gard to the success which attended the piScato-
rial efforts of the ladies. 1t is true, the ladies,
as history sheweth, have in all ages been remar-
kably successful in fishing for husbands, but
there is no instance on record of their being
successful trout fishers. Will Mr. Fisherman
enlighten us on the subject

we'd here last u ght at l l o'clock. that the Sc
cess;onists were routed about daylight y stor
day morning They were not expecting ALI
attack They were first fired upon from

They fired Que shot in return, aud fed. leav
ing all their arms. horses, provisions, anmu-
