THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.

Lieutenant John Clarke, of the
British marines, in a thirty-siX page
pamphlet, printed in London in l175,
in less than dozen lines, describes
the Battle of Bunker Hill:
ave then began to proceed to ac-
ton by marching with quick step
up the precipice that led to the en-
trenched provincial army, until
within five hundred yards of them "a
very brisk fire commenced on their
side, and was returned on ours; still
marching up to their entrenchments
As fast as possible, from whence we
dislodgcd them by o'clock, the bat
tie being fought and gained within
one hour"
After giving a list of the British
killed and wounded, Lieutenant
Clarke narrates sundry incidents oi
the battle, among which the follow
ing possesses much interest, and, II
the statement be correct, may be said
to decide the mooted question OF
s.Who commanded at Bunker Hill?''
"a report having prevailed that
Doctor Warren was not killed,
think it necessary to contradict 1t, as
saw a soldier after theDr. was wound
ed and lying in the trenches, going
to run him through the bodywith the
bayonet on which the Doctor desir-
ed he would not kill him for he was
much wounded, and could not 1--we a
great while longer on when the
soldier swore that he would, for that

one else, and immediately ran him
through the body.
The Doctors dress was light col

breeehes with silver loops, which L
sawthe soldier soon after strip on his
body.
"He was supposed to be the com.

cident brings the money out ola slow
debtor, after the manner following
One of our merchants, nervous and
irritable, received a letter from a
customer in the country begging for
more time. Turning to one of his
country clerks, he said,-
Write to this man immediately -
Yes, sir What shall / say ?''
The merchant was pacing the of
flee, and repeated the order.
Write to him at once.n
Certainly. sir. What do you wish
me to say ?"
The merchant was impatient, and
broke out
Something or nothing, and that

further, but consulting his Judgment,
wrote ano dispatched this letter. By
the return mail came a letter from
the delinquent customer, enclosing
money III full of account. The
merchants eyes glistened when he
opened 1t; and fastening to the desk,
he said to the clerk -
What sort. of a letter did you
write to this man? Here il the
money in full"
Il wrote just what you told me to,
sir. The letter is copied into the

The letter book was consulted and
there it stood, short and sweet, right

''Dedr .Sir-Something or nothing,

And this letter brought the money,
when a more elaborate dun would
have failed of the happy effect.

married, about sixty-three years ago,
ordered from milk farm, on the Sa-
lem and Boston turnpike, her daily
supply of that article. The quantity
has been changed from time to time

once or twice but the milk is now
delivered daily upon the original or
der, and has been during that time
without intermission. May flowers
can always be found upon her table
on the 1st of hfay-the gift of her
children on her birthday Mrs. Os-
good was eighty-five years of age on
her last birthday. \ few weeks ago,

was complaining To one of her sons,

Osgood, always having All eye to the
main chance, exceedingly fond of a
good joke, and remarkably quick at
repartee, instantly replied /; We'll,

son said, "A hundred dollars" "a

times carried ants from one hill TO

tens of thousands of ants; but the
