MARE MARKS GoEs TO CHURcn.-
Mark Marks says he went to church
yesterday, for the first time in many
sabaths. After service was out, stood
upon the porch as the crowd passed
out, to see the styles, as he declares
that's what half the people leave their
houses on Sunday for. And while he
stood there, he tells us, the converse
ton, of those passing him was exceed
ingly interesting, when put together
as he heard it. One person would
pass him convorsing, and he would
hear portion Of what was said, and
another would come aloug talking
about something else, part of which
caught his ear, and SO on. And this,
says Marks, is the way it strung out:
''Yery good sermon, Mrs." "Some
sort of red stuff, trimmed with mar
row blue braid" "No, / didn't like
it lone bit twas cut too full around the
shoulders. Didn't you see him?.-
lie sat in Mis- pow" 'Pshaw!
Mrs. D. had one of them last fall;
it's old style" "What a horrid look
ing nose he's got; I thought Fanny
said he was good looking" "You
don't say so. Have you got an invi-
tation ?" eyes, he's a very logical
preacher" "Did you notice that
flashy plume she had on? "No place
for young child, any way" 81 got
it at Talbot & Posts" "Got any to-
bacco, John ~ "Pooh! / wouldn't
speak to him, any way" 81 should
think Mary W would be ashamed
to wear such an outlandish -"
"They say that dispatch about Sump-
ter is all bosh." "Not half so pretty
as Mrs. rs; though it don't look
so bad, after all" '1t must have
cost as much as two dollars yard. I"

"Tll be there at seven precisely" 81

The popular idea is that when
muslxrats build their houses high, the
winter will be of more than ordinary
severity, and as it is alleged that the
muslzrats have boon building high
this season, the present winter is to be
q very cold-ono. Ano trapper con-
troverts this idea and says that the
cause Of the high building is the an
ticipatod high water. In very cold
winters the water in tho streams and
marshes is low, and muskrats do not
then want lofty houses this season, he
thinks the probabilities arr that we
shall have a large amoun. i rain and

From the Petersburg Express, June 10.
At an early hour the enemy advanced,
with at least seven regiments Of infantry
and one of cavalry, upon some breastworks
hastily thrown up at Baylors farm by
Colonel Ferrebee, Fourth North Carolina
cavalry. They were held in check BY Fer
rebee's men and Graham's Petersburg bat
tery for four hours, who fought bravely,
but were finally compelled to fall back
Fcrrebee's men inflicted serious losses upon
the enemy, and Graham's battery shelled
the masses of his men with admirable of
feet. Our men retired in good order and
sustained but few casualties. Graham lost
one gun. The sharpshooters placed not less
than sixty, Yankees horS du combat along
our lines yesterday. A few prisoners were
taken. Among the number was fellow
who rode into our lines at full speed minus
his cap. He was mounted upon blooded
steed. no doubt stolen from some Virginian,
and could not rein his animal up in fact
the fellow was a poor rider, and let 60 the
bride and hung on to the pommel of the
saddle with as much tenacity as a drown

the prisoners said that they belonged to
Burnside's corps and asserted that Burn
side was at City Point with his whole corps.

The above account was written at 5 P. NJ.
Yesterday, when it was thought fighting
had ceased for the day. In this our troops
were mistaken, for it was ascertained before
dark that the enemy had massed very

City Point and Prince George Court House
roads. At sunset the enemy charged our
batteries commanding these roeds, coming
up in line of battle SIX an seven columns

the enemy coraing up with yell and max

works. Our troops received them with q
