We had the pleasure of witnessing

We had the pleasure of witnessing
the much -talked-of sham naval hattie
on The Potomac TlVer at Hancock,
on Saturday evening, given in honor
of Sampson s victory at Santiago. The
affair was an imposing one, and was
witnessed by large crowd OF people
from throughout the county and the
surrounding towns. A miniature
Maine was blown up, Fort Moro bonn
barded, and Cerveras fleet destroyed.
Tue battle was fierce and lively, about
20 boats taking part. Roman candles,
sky rockets, fire, crackers, torpedos,
etc, were used by the fleets, and one
could not help but believe they were
witnessing real battle from the glare
of the fireworks and the loud reports
made. The river at times was COM
pletely lighted up, and with the
mountains and hills in the rear, pre-
scented a beautiful battle picture.
The Berkeley Springs Band was pres
ent and discoursed patriotic airs dur
ing the battle, on the bridge, from
which the affair was witnessed. Ev-
erything went off fine and it was a
grand and novel event.

On Thursday evening last, in
company with co-worker, we left
our hot sanctorium and went to the
Potomac to enjoy fishing. We had an
immence time trying to get the finny
tribe to hook themselves on our lines,
but generally without success. We
enjoyed the boating on the placid
bosom of the river, however, if not
the fishing, and as the mild and cheer
full (?) voice OF the gentle mule driver
on the toe. path and the "gee-up' OF
the man at the pillow in the fields was
waited across the waters to us, with
the buzz of the annoying mosquitoes,
it made us glad and caused us to feel
that life was worth living. About
nine o'clock two weary III ortals could
have been seen vending their way to
their homes on our back streets, be-
smirched with mud, tired, and--well,
we had fish for breakfast next morn.

letter in which he sent some very in
teresting souvenirs. He has been sta
toned at Fernando, Florida, for some
time past but was lately removed to
Huntsville, Alabama, where he is now
in camp. When his company left
Florida he was fortunate enough to be
on one of the rear sections of the train
and so escaped the wreck which re-
suited in several deaths. The wreck
happened among the cotton fields and
Mr.. Newcombs took advantage of the
delay necessarily occasioned and he
succeeded in securing several bales of
cotton from the immediate vicinity of
the wreck. He sent them home to his
friends aa relics. He describes the
accident in graphic manner and incl
dentally says he likes the country he
is in at present. His letter throughout
is a most interesting one and is the
topic of much conversation.
