pANDRIDGE AND MossY CREEK.

On Dec. 24 we led the advance Of tie
cavalry in an attack on the enemy at Da l.
bridge. Tenn. The method generally adopt
ed by Col Palmer was TO send out an ad-
vance guard of well mounted men, detailed
from the different companies, with orders
to charge the enemy as soon as seen.
On this day it charged a scouting party

ensued. i'll which we captured most "f them;

About on nn-third of the advance was

On the night of Dec. 2S we operated
within the enemy'S lines and captured
some prisoners and cattle, and went into
camp about midnight near Messy Creek.
A brigade Of our cavalry which was camped
to our left was attacked early in the morn

of the enemy, who had interposed between
to form and repel q charge of the enemy
upon an unsupported battery; They
made several charges, all OF which we
repulsed with considerable loss to them,
and late in the afternoon. after reinforce
ments had arrived, they were driven from
the field.
After each repulse the enemy formed
behind some buildings, and as they moved
out to renew their charges on the battery,
we advanced from our position III hollow
in front to meet them, using our carbines
until we got into close quarters, and then
our revolvers, with such effect as to cause
their retreat, when we would retire to our
original position.
In these movements two of our boys,
who were mounted on mules, had an excit-
ing time. 1t required a very vigorous use
of their spurs to induce the mules TO join
us in the advance. But when once started
they forged ahead of our line of battle, and
it was only by the greatest efforts their
riders avoided being carried into the
enemy's lines. Lieut. Lingle, of Co. G., was
killed in this engagement

MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR WI
LIAM u. s. BROWN.

Brief memorial services for william r.
s. Brown, secretary Of the Sebago Wood
Board company, were held yesterday az
ternoon at the State Street church.
Rev. DIR. Jenkins oiiiciatei and after
scriptural reading and prayer made short
remarks In which he said that the unity
of mankind was demonstrated by the
uniformity Of usages in showing some
tribute to the dead. Two sentiments
inspire these tributes, and these are APP
probation and gratitude. We Anglo
Saxops are at times backwards in our ex-
preston of appreciation and the speaker
saw fitness in wearing sombre clothes TO
bear testimony to onr loss as 1t deepened
our appreciation which had an uplifting
tendency. Touching gratitude DIR. Jen-
kins said that the best thing that could
come to the world was a good man for
the example was better than gold or any
material wealth and was Gods richest
gift. He thought 1t was fit to give ex-
preston of gratitude for the gift of such
a man as Mr.. Brown. He referred TO the
sense of obligation as one of the primary
qualities which men recognize and honor
and pointed out that we come into the
world under obligations-we are mad g
under laws. The finest and completes
thing you can say about human being
is.that he Is faithful.
Everything depends upon fidelity In the
business, railroad world and all around
and when you have said man is faith
full you have paid high praise.
OF Mr.. Brown 1t could be said that he
was distinguished by faithfulness in
church and family matters nesting every
obligation that came to him. So is n
certain sense he finished his work. DIR.
Jenkins spoke of the sadness OF Mr..
Browns death and closed with words Of
comfort to friends, quoting passages OF
scripture, Though he Stay me yet will
1 trust him." and exhorted them never
ito be separated from the love of God
The altar rail was decorated with q
handsome floral tribute and during the
service the choir rendered these impress
slve selections, Commit Thy Ways" a
choral from Bach, "Cast Thy Burdens
Upon the Lord" from the Elijah, and
st Anne's hymn.

Then Officer Merrill summoned Joseph
Brown. one OF tho clerks In the market
Mr.. Brown gave the officer the key TO
the store. When the firemen entered the
store was filed with smoke, but few
lusty streams from the pony chemical
extinguished the smouldering fire which

was lifted up to the ground floor and
thrown out on to the sidewalk.
