RRGIMENTAL PETs.-Soldiers in camn aro
proverbially fond of pets. But the oldest nets
we have yet seen were two bears, which the
18TH Maine regiment, of the 10Th corps, led
through the city yesterday. These bears uora
brought all the way from Louisiana. and Sare
been IN several fights. They have become ner
tectly tame and tractable, and march aIopg at
me heao o! me oand, with an air that indicates
they ieel themselves veteran soldiers of the
sustain. ~
A regiment that passed through some days

IN Louisiana, and which has been in several
battles and skirmishes. In one of the latter he
was seriously wounded, but by careful nursing
ne got we'll by reason of that wound, how
ever, that goat can never enter into the congre-
gauon, for reasons set forth in Deuteronomy.
The Picnic AT LoEFFLRR s.-Yesterday, q
Picnic was given at Loefier's Garden, which
closed with q ball at night. The place was
crowded. About ten o'clock at night some
lighting was begun, giving little exciting va
Tiety to the occasion. 1t appears that the par
ties engaged were the B'hoys of Grow Hill, and
soldiers from the hospitals, between whom and
the B'hoys an antipathy has existed for some
time. At previous picnic they came in con-
tact and the B'hoys got the better Of the SOL
oilers, who were forced to ''retire in good or
der" Last night the soldiers were better pre-
pared, and the B'hoys were roughly handled.
Some OF the combatants were wounde with
bIllies or stones, but not seriously. The police
elected several of the disorderly ones, but no
arrests were made that we have heard Of
