Winchester, and afterwards in the battle of
Cedar Mountain, where he was wounded in the
left leg, and confined IN the hospital at Alex
andria, Va for about four months. In 1863 he

Gettysburg. Following the latter engagement
when the army recrossed the Potomac, Mr.
Squires was captured on outpost duty at Snlck-
er's Gap, and confined at Belle Isle until the

ment in the West, during the Atlanta cam
paigu, and participated in all the battles and
skirmishes leading to the capture and occupa-
ton Of Atlanta, including the battles Of Resaca,
Dallas and Peach Tree Creek.
He was honorably discharged at Chattanooga,
Tenn, Aug. l, 1864, at the expiration of his
term Of enlistment. In 1871 he removed to
New York city, and Jan. %, 1872, on the rec
ommendation of his old Colonel, 0rris S. Ferry,
he was appointed TO the Office of LQuidating
Clerk in the New York Custom House. He
was subsequently, promoted TO the position of
Entry Clerk, which position he held until 1886.
He removed to Brooklyn in 1873, aud since
then has been one of the most active and earn
est supporters of all measures tending to the
growth and development of the GAR in New
York State. In 1876 he was appointed Assist
ant Adjutant-General, Department of New

+ ton Of Post 327, and was its first Commander

Queer EIizabeth,s Gloves.

The luxury Of gloves in the time of our fore
fathers was reserved for the rich and noble for
if we take the relative value of money, say, in
the time Of Henry VII. and to-day, we will
find they were very expensive. According to
an entry in the Remembrancer's Office we
learn that three dozen of leather gloves cost
12s., which would nowadays be equal to about
60 Queen Elizabeth, who. we learn from Du
Maurier's memoirs, had very white and very
beautiful hands. Of which she was naturally
very vain, was extremely fond of handsome
gloves. if we are to judge from those which
are preserved in the BOdleian Library, Oxford,
and which, ii IS said. were worn by her when
she visited that university in 1866. They,
however, do not seem to have been as well fit
ting as those our ladies wear at present, and
doubtless would excite a little merriment
among the glove makers of London and Paris,
who have brought this manufacture to such a
high pitch of perfection. For example, the
middle finger measures four inches and three
quarters. the thumb five inches in length. and
the palm three inches and half wide. This is
the measurement given by Mr. William Beck
in his highly interesting and instructive work
