A War Incident.

Among the Chicago commercla,
travellers who visit Chillicothe are two
gentlemen. now good friends, whose
first meeting was under circumstances
just the reverse of friendship. Mr.. p
is a Virginian, and Mr.. B. is a New
Yorker by birth, and both were sol
diers during the late war, the former
captain in the famous Confederate
troopers commanded by the celebrated
General John S. Mosby, and the latter
a private in Nsw York regiment.
In one of the many skirmishes in the
vicinity of Warrenton, Va, Captain
P. was captured by BIS regi-
ment, the commander of which.
in pursuance of a previous order from
his superiors "to shoot Mosby's men
whenever caught" ordered the inn
mediate execution Of the unfortunate
captive. He was led out a short
distance from the command and a
detail of seven men, of whom b. was
one, was ordered to execute the drum
head sentence. At the word Fire =
the squad discharged their weapons
straight at the victim, and poor p, fell,
riddled with six minnie balls. He was
left for dead as food for the vultures,
and his executioners mounted their
horses and followed their regiment
in pursuit of Mosbv. The victim
was unconscious for twenty-four
hours, and when he awoke and
feebIy called for help there was no
response. With six ghastly wounds
in his chest, and covered with blood, he
dragged himself mile to a negro's
cabin, where he was kindly received
and nursed for a week, until Mosby's
forces ha rallied and driven the FEEDER
ais from the vicinity. Then for the
first time his wounds were dressed by
a surgeon, and in about six months he
rejoined his command and fought un-
til the final surrender at Appomattox.
His health has ever since been delicate.
but he is energetic and pushing, and is
a very popular and successful sales
man, and has no warmer friend than
b., who was one of his executioners, or
thought he was.-ChWtoothe (Ohtol

From he report Of DR.. Hancock on the

appears that the total effective strength Of the
Belfast coustabulary last year was 524, eoo-
sisting Of one town inspector, four sub-in-
spectors, ten head eanstables, aud 500 Of the
lower ranks The proportion is twenty-five
per ten thousand Of The population One
policeman 10 every four hundred persons may
seem a large proportion in \ pesceable COM
mGnity, but when it is considered that party
spin, in Belfas, has developed frequently in
the past into actions in which the police were
not uninteresied spectators, the force is per-
haps not larger than the requirements Of the
town demand. When we compare Belfast
with the English AID Scotch boronghs we do
not seem to be over-polieed." In London
the metropolitan police number 20 in every
ten thousand Of the population, in the Scotch
