ridge to the right of Bath, and bv that

crossroads near the centre Of town. they
we're suddenly surprised by a volley of
muShetIy from a regiment of -ccesh in,

our friends were surprised and alarmed.
as by that yO..ey ! Of them were dismoun-
ted by the falling of their horses, but for.

brave Lieutenant, and away went the cav'

On asking DR.. Hoop why he incurred so
great a risk, he replied, "why, sir, trust-

parrot gun"
After we go. safely moored in Hancock,
the Doctor showed me draught of all the
main roads, mountain passes, by-paths.
ripTies and lords on the river from Sir

timber worth 10 cents an acre in all Nor
gan county. / believe if he would see
rebel taking ann at him from behind a
pine tree. he would stop to count how
many saw-logs it would make before he
would retreat. The Doctor is very popu-
lar in his regiment. and is always ready to
serve the private or the commander. and
never at loss for a remedy. His Assis-
,aHt, DR.. Rellick, of Pitts 5ur-h, is a brave
and energetic Young man. and bids fair TO
