HERo.-At the fight at Kissengen, the occu-
pant of a top story in corner house, the windows
of which overlooked both the adjacent streets,
after compelling his family to leave him locked
himself in, and, being well provided with ammu-
nition, continued from his post of advantage to
pour deadly fire upon the invaders. In the noise
and confusion of the melee, it was some time be-
fore their assailant was observed. A. party of
Prussians then entered the house and called on the
man to surrender. He refused to do so, or to open
the door, which they burst in; but as it had been
heavily barrcaded on the inside, its solitary de-
fender was able to bayonet two Of his foes before
he was overpowered and slain. Within an hour
after the arrival of an additional division of 600
men rendered further resistance on the part of the
Bavarians hopeless, the outnumbered garrison
| capitulated and the carnage ceased. Forthwith
| cid feelings and habits seemed to resume their
sway. The good offices of pity and generosity
were freely interchanged, The wounded were
cared for and the dead treated with every respect
corporal's guard returned to the house already
alluded to, took up the corpse oftheir single handed
enemy, bore it with honor to the appointed place
of nterment and set up little erOsa over it with
the inscription, 'tThis was truly brave man."

PURE FRENCH WINEs--It has been said more
than one obseryant tourist in America, thai in
New Orleans alone could the connoissenr expect
to find drinkable French wines. The reas6 Of
this is partly owing to the fact that there's a
greater admixture of the Latin races anlongo our
population than any other on this continent and
these races have stamped the peculiarities oftheir
tastes in the drinking line upon the people of
city. The wines of France also are peculiarly
adapted to our climate, and whenever used freely,
induce longevity and preclude the occurrence of
fevers. In fact, they appear to be the natural
beverage of the latitude, and few who once try
them ever consent willingly to discontinue their
use. But on account of this peculiarly Of our
population, a trade has sprung up among the un-
principled sharpers of certain loeality4Yhich
has made no little trouble among the unsuspectiDg
| buyers, and which has had the effect Of bringing
wines which formerly stood high into disrepute.
We would therefore warn our readers MOTTO buy
except from importers of responsibility and stand
ing, from whom they can at all times rely on get
ting pure and good articles Such an establish
ment is that of HMessrs. c. Cavaroe & Co., No. lie
Royal street. The gentlemen composing this firm
are among our first merchants and anything
which they would recommend must, of necessity
be unexceptionable. We invite the attention o
all our readers to their advertisement, which viii
be found in another column of the CRESCENT to

about the defenseless condition of the lakes,

matter of congratulation, as we'll as of surprise,
that we have now seven boats of this character
upon these waters. They are as follows:

ST. Andrew-Lieut. Smith, 40 men and u field
pieces.
Royal-Lieut. Boyce, 40 men and field pieces
In addition to the present armament of the Res
cue and Michigan, they will soon have two more
guns, one of which was landed in this city yester
| day by the Heron.
The Britomarte, Cherub, Rescue and Michigan
will be engaged between Fort Erie and theuppel
