ruins of the old Y. NJ. c. A building on

portions to enable them to erect new edi-
flee.

SOLDIERS BUDGET,


The following from the WATCHMAN
of July ID, 1865, is of sufficient interest
to be reproduced:
Corporal Henry H. Ricor, color bearer,
Fifth Vermont Volunteers, met with
a very pleasant surprise at Burlington
the other day on being mustered out of
service. Uncle Sam presented him a
purse of $3.50 in recognition of his
vaor. Corporal Rcor was the first
person TO plant the col )rs over the
rebel works at Petersburg. When he
entered the rebel fertilization, he was
in advance of the regiment some fif-
teen rods, closely followed by Captain
Gould of Company II. Both were set
upon by large number of rebels, who
succeeded in bayoneting the captain
through the mouth and cheek, and 9TH
erwise severely woundng him until
he fell; and only by the most daring
and heroic exertions of young Ricor
was he seized and borne beyond the
reach of the bloodthrsty enemy and his
life saved. This shows just apprecia-
ton by government of the services of
this bold soldier and of good sense on
the part of the fair maid who has re.
Gently joined hands with him for life.

POWDERHORNS.
The Best Device For Carrying Loose Gun
powder In Time of War.

Poplsrhorns have become quite rare
and are curious objects for the study Of the
collector and the historian.
Like coins and medals, from which the
collector may find out many interesting
facts about the past, powderhorns which
have been decorated with pictures and in
scriptions give much information concern
ing the geography and history of famous
places and events.
The use of horns of animals for carry
ing gunpowder was introduced into Amer
lea from England and France, but the ex-
act date when they were first used in Eu-
rope is not known. Certainly it was not
less than $50 years ago, as can be seen
from the dates on specimens in European
museums.
Before improved guns and cartridges
were used the curved horn was the best
device for carrying gunpowder in war
time for the use of the muzZle leaders and
hintlocks, and the horns were used even
with some of the later guns-those that
were fired by percussion caps.
A desirable horn could be had easily
and cheaply. 1t was quickly prepared for
holding the gunpowder, and moreover, it
was light and yet strong enough to with
stand the rough usage to which horns were
often subjected, as in skirmish lighting or
making long marches through the wilder
ness. The horns neither rust nor decay,
even if buried in the earth for century,
and if the plugs are properly fitted the
powder will keep dry although carried for
days in the rain They can be 1oated or
dipped in the water without harm to the
powder within, this being II matter of the
greatest importance during the colonial

GRANTS HEADQUARTERS MESS.

A cold lunch was then eaten off a
pine table in the dining-room of the de-
serted house. Later in the afternoon
our tents arrived and were pitched near
the house, and little before dark the
"mess " sat down to dinner. The Ia
BILE had been laid under the fly of
large tent of the pattern known as the
" hospital tent" Perhaps no head
quarters of general in supreme COM
mand of great armies ever presented so
democratic an appearance. All the Of
ficers of the staff dined at the table
with their chief, and the style of con-
versation was as familiar as that which
occurs in the household of any private
family. Nothing could have been more
informal or unconventional than the
manner in which the mess was con-
Quoted. The staff officers came to the
table and left it at such times as their
duties permitted, sometimes lingering
over meal to indulge in conversation,
at other times remaining to take only a
few mouthfuls in all haste before start
ing out upon the lines. The chief ate less
and talked less than any other member
of the staff, and partook only of the
plainest food.
