choking him to death before medical

Horn and Oliver Madore. The G.
A. r. were armed with carbines and
the artillerymen wore sabres.
The battle was begun about 8 o'clock
when the signal for beginning the at
tack on the foIt was made and pla-
toon of the Guards, under Capt.
Wardwell, uniformed as Zouaves,
with white shirts and red baggy
trousers, sashes and caps, opened the
engagement. The Zouaves were de-
tailed to act as skirmishers, and
showed that they were decidedly use
full, as well as ornamental and pictur-
esque. With great agility they
lodged from under the fence on the
right of the line, whence they had
suddenly appeared. and dropping on
their knees in true Zouave fashion,
opened skirmishing fire. The
force in the fort were, of course, as
tonished, but recovering from their
surprise replied with brisk cannon
AIDE, The battle, it is said, was we'll
fought. The boys entered into the
contest with vim and earnestness
which gave the "sham" every APP
pearance OF regular battle. The
marches, counter-marches, the at
tacks and retreats were admirably
executed. All the movements were
accompanied with martial music
from the bands in attendance.
Finally the entire attacking force
advanced upon the fort, the besieged
making last desperate effort, and
fireing more rapidly that eyer. until
the attacking line burst over the
breastworks, where they were met
with hand to hand resistance.
Sabre to sabre, bayonet to bayonet,
and shot for shot, the battle waged,
until finally the color-sergant of one
of the attacking companies mounted
one of the cannons. Even then the
firing did not entirely cease, until
the fort was duly surrendered. The
band of the beSiegers then burst into
the glorious strains of the "Red,
White and Blue" and the fort was
then formally occupied. During the
engagement Mr.. Andrew Fink was
burned in the face and arms by a
premature explosion of a cannon
charge. His wounds, though not
serious, are very painful.
About 5 p. m. the military formed,
and headed by st. Peters and the
Queen City bands, marched toward
town via Maryland avenue to BaIti-
more street, and thence to Mechanic
and Bedford and to the Voltigeurs'
armory. where they broke ranks. =

fact that in many places the roots of
the older trees are uncovered, the
soil having sunken fully foot and a
half below the trunks. AS at this
rate it will be about three hundred
years before the island disappears,
the present inhabitants need not be

Making Watches.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not fit
ting weu, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch necessitating cleaning re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENFD GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the Jewel
cry trade, possessing as it does so many ad-
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their Jeweler for a card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only STIFFENED CASE made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendents and
centre solid Joints crown pieces, &C.. all of
which are covered by letters patent There
fore buy no case before consulting a Jeweler
who keeps the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFEN-
ED GOLD CASE, that you may learn the differ
ence between 1t and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers. Ask
to see the warrant that accompanies each
case, and don't be persuaded that any other
make of case is as good.

A Gala Day ut the Fair Grounds.

The lo1g talked of event has trans
PRED. The battle has been won and
the hurry burely's done. The sham
battle took place at the Fair grounds
on Saturday afternoon and was wit
messed by large number of visitors
and Cumberland people. The streets
of the city during the day were we'll
peopled. The order of exercises were
begun in the morning when st.

Westernpert and Piedmont arrived
on the early train. The Garrett
Guards, thirty five muskets, under
command of Capt. Wardwell and
Lieuts. Mason and Chisholm, arrived
on the express train at 9.25, and were
met at the depot by detachments
from the two city companies, in uni
form, without arms, and headed by
the st. Peters band. The line of
march was at once taken down Har-
risen street to Mechanic, thence by
Baltimore to Decatur, to Bedford, to
Centre, and to the Voltigeur's armory.
The Guards wore their new gray
uniforms and presented a remarkably
fine appearance.
In the afternoon. the procession
was formed at 1.30 O'Clock at the head
of Baltimore street and the line of
march taken up by way of Decatur
to Fulton, to Front, to Baltimore
street, to South Mechanic, thence by
Wineow street and the Oldtown road
to the Fair grounds. The line was

corps; Tyler Post, G. A. r., twenty
men, in command Post Commander
Shaw; Parrott gun, drawn by four
horses Cumberland Hose Company,
in uniform, drawing their reel.
AT the Fair grounds the ground
was narrowed SO that the militia
would experience to some extent the
hardships of a regular engagement.
The fort that was to be captured was
located near the centre of the large
enclosed space to the south of the
music stand, which formed, as it
were, barracks, within the enclosure.
The walls OF the fort were of barrels,
fastened together and painted black.
Over these the cannons were worked.
At a short distance from the fort was
placed breastwork. or abattis. The
fort was in command of Lieut.. Ma
son, of the Garrett Guards, and this
force consisted of the G. A. r., under
Post Commander Shaw, with J. M.

lieutenants, and detail from each OF
