party last evening made up OF young
peope from Nova Scotia. They enjoyed
themselves rs young folks of that part of
the country know hov to do. The hall
was fillel aud it is doubtful if any
dancing party ever had n
n ore delightful time. Just before o
O'Clock Mr.. j. w. Roberts, accompanied
by Mss Maggie Muir, led the grand
march, and were followed by at least
fifty couples. As many more were un-
able to form in line, owing to the
lack OF room. 1t was long after
midnight before the last number
on the program was reached
but all went home satisfied with the
event The floor was in charge of Herbert
Glover, who was assisted by Robert
Clover and Frank Dawson. The commit
tee OF arrangements were George Dow

II would be immense relief If that dreadful
Amercanism, "ain't." could be given a rest for
all eternity. You hear it so frequently. The
few exceptions among we'll ducated people
scarcely make an impression with an observer
on the lookout for the phrase. 1t is surprising
how easily fault IN speech may be acquired
by the ear, but in this part of the world, where
our public schools believed to really edu-

errors as in localities less intellectually favored.

at this abuse of grammar If it saves their necks,
but If anyone would keep watch over his

Cedar Mountain.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In recent
issue of your paper appears an article by an
Ohio comrade of the old Twelfth Corps,
giving an account of the Banks fasco in
the Shenandoah Valley, in which he says,
describing the battle of Cedar Mountain,
the 5th Conn. was deplOyed as skirmishers,
and one of its members is made to have
killed, in tile hand-to-hand encounter in
which it was engaged, IL rebels. Now,
comrade, isn't that laying it on pretty
thick?
Our regiment, the 46th Pa, was brigaded
with the 5th Conn. nearly four years. We
can testify to the staying qualities of those
Connecticut Yankees, and can, moreover, say
that there were very, very few regiments OF
volunteers in the service any better. We
were sure of the front if the 5th were ahead
of us, and we knew we had good hackers if
they were supporting US, during battle.
The facts of the matter that our Ohio
comrade is trying to describe are these:
The 46th Pa, 2Sth N. Y, 5th Conn, and
five companies of the Sd Wis, charged at
Cedar Mountain on Aug. 8, 1862 and, in
stead of finding thin line of rebel infantry,
struck IL different regiments of Jackson's
Division, and of course were repulsed.
A hand to- hand fight with musket-butt
and bayonet occurred on breaking the hrst
line of rebel infantry; but no one believes
that any member of the brigade killed,
single-handed, II men, or half that number.
1t was unquestionably, for small affair,
the hardest fight of the war, as the loss was
nearly so per cent, and nearly as many
killed as wounded.
l have the reports of Gen. Crawford, and
the average is five killed to six-and-a-half
wounded The usual average was one killed
to five wounded.
A hurry yburly, rough-and-tumble, strike
when-you-see-a-head fight. Such was Ce-

"Selkirk's Lookout" is a ragged mountain
draped in foliage, thinning toward the last

At Trenton, n. j., the other day there was
dedicated monument commemoratug, on the
anniversary OF ths sfrrendcr of Lord Corn
wallis at Yorktown. the battle of Trenton,
which marked the turaing-poiDt OF the strug-
gle
The monument, which is located at the
junction of five streets, on an elevation near
the center of the cftys is futed granite shaft,
surmounted by Is foot statue OF Washington,
representing him with tiplfted hand in the act
of commanding Capt Alexander Hamilton, in
charge OF the artillery,to fire upon the Hes
slams as they were advancing up Warren street.
The monument as. 150 feet in hight, aud is
estimated to weigh 1000 900 pounds. A stair
way and an electric elevator, when completed,
will furnish means of reaching the ledge or
cap from which the country can be seen for
miles around.
The designer of the monument is John Dun
can, of New York. 1t cost $4,000 OF this
amount $4,000 was appropriated by the United
States and $4,000 by the State of New Jersey.
The balance was raised by private subscription.
The strip of land adjoining the monument
was recently purchased by the city of Trenton
for park, and this will add much to the at
tractiveness of the surroundings. Upon this
plot there will be erected grandstand for the
dedication exercises to accommodate 2,5UO per-
SONS.
The battle of Trenton, which this monument
is to commemorate, was the turning point OF
the Revolution. The American army, under
Gen. Washington, was without sufficient raj
ment or food. and the reverses that had been
met had begun to discourage those who hoped
for American independence. The routing and
capturing of the Hessian troops at Trenton re-

Selkirk's cave is also a point of interest,
though it may be doubted whether there is
much more than an imaginary connection be-
tween this cavern and the solitary sailor.
The history of Juan Fernandez presents no
features OF particular interest. The island was
discovered in 1863 by the Spapiard whose name
it bears, and between that date. until its occu-
patton by Spain in 1850, appears to have been
little more than a sort Of headquarters for the
bold buccaneers who roamed all the Pacific
over. Juan Fernandez passed to Chile when
Spain lost her South American possessions, ana
from 1919 until 1885 her new owner used the
islet as penal settlement.

vived the dropping spirits and was followed up
by other successes.
Gen. Washington in his letter to Congress,
dated Dec 27 1776 said II have the pleasure
of congratulating you upon the success of an
enterprise which ] had formed against de-
tachment of the enemy lying in Trenton, and
which was executed yesterday morning"
He then speaks of the difficulty of crossing
the Delaware in boats, the forming of his de-
tachment in two divisions after landing, and
the surrounding of the Hessians by entering
the town from different directions.
The number who surrendered, after some re-
sistance, he gave as % officers and $50 men.
Col 'Rohl and seven others were wounded.
Their killed Washington estimated at 90 or 30.
while "our loss was very trifing, only two Off
GERS and one or two priyates wounded"
Gen. Washington in his'letter also said that
the ice prevented Gen. Ewing from crossing
further down the river. and cutting off the
retreat Of number of the British soldiers,
who made their way toward Bordentown.
