A Relic Of the war.

The Listener witnessed recently an IN
feresting little ceremony-the removal Of
three charges from an old revolver. which
had been borne, and evidently used, by
an officer on the field of Cedar Greek, on
Oct 10, 1864 On that day, Capt G. Z.
W, Of the Thirtieth Massachusetts,,
had, as he charged with his company the
stone wall behind which the Confederates
were entrenched, drawn this old five
shooter, Of the most approved ante war
type, which looks about as much like the
ordinary Colt or Smith e. Wesson OF this
day as q revolutionary firelock does like
the latest pattern Of magazine rife. The
revolver was loaded, but the captain had
discharged TWO shots from it. Then he
was himself shot through the heart, and
fell The men pushed on: the Confeder-
ates were driven from their position, and
defeat turned into victory; but when Gen.
Sheridan rode before the~reformed line.
and complirnented the troops upon their
bravery, the gallant captain lay back
upon the field, among the dead and
wounded.
His revolver, with the remaining three
charges In il. was sent home TO his family.
and from that day to this the charges re-
manned in it. like a sbeafhed weapon ready
for service. Occasion had arisen, how
ever, 10 pass the old pistol on TO still
younger hand. and 1t was deemed best 10
draw the old charges at last So the three

DR.. Rink, the best authority on that
region, says that in north Greenland the
amount of snow annually falling is in

this law seems TO be general In short,
the heaviest fall of snow is not IN the
frigid no more than in the torrid zone,
but somewhere between the two.--Lieut.
