CAPTURE OF PLYMOUTH, N. C.
Town Was One of Most Important
Places on Sound and Was Com
manded by General Vessels.

In reply to a query the National
Tribune gives the following account OF
the capture OF Plymouth, N. c., and
the reason for the surrender of Gen.
eral Vessels:
1t was felt necessary to keep a gar
rison at Plymouth and other places
around the North Carolina sounds.
though these were reduced to the
minimum. They were kept there in
isolated position for two years, this
giving the enemy time to plan opera
tions to overpower them. Plymouth,
N. c., one of the most important
places on the sound, was held by
brigade commanded by General Wes-
sells and which consisted of the
Eighty-flfth New York, One Hundred
and First and One Hundred and Third
Pennsylvania, Sixteenth Connecticut
and six companies from other regi-
ments, in all 2,4O0 men. The position
was fairly fortified, with three gun
boats in the water to assist the garri.
son, and it was felt that this would
be sufficient, but the enemy had built
an ironclad ram, the Albemarle, and
collected a force of three brigades,
under Gen. R. F. Hoke, numbering in
all at least 1000 men. For some rea-
son our people knew nothing of this
gathering Of forces, nor of the strength
of the Albemarle. April II, 1864, Hoke
suddenly appeared at the same time
as the ram came down the river and
attacked Fort Warren, the upriver
outpost. One of our vessels went to
the assistance Of the fort, but was
quickly disabled. Hoke pushed down
mile and attacked Fort Vessels, but
was repulsed several times in his as
Baults. However, the enemy surround
ed the fort and got within 200 yards
of 1t, while the Albemarle ran by Fort
Warren. rammed the Southfleld and
sunk her, and then disabled the Mi
ami, killing her captain, Lieut.-Com-
mander Flusser The Albemarle then
shelled the garrison, the attack on the
forts was renewed, and, though the
enemy lost heavily, they were carried
and the Confederates reached the
town, so that Vessels was compelled
to surrender, giving up about 1900
prisoners, 25 guns, 1000 small arms
and much valuable stores. The Con
federates admitted loss of only 800
but our people estimated 1t at 1000
The prisoners were taken to Anderson
vile, where most Of them died.

PET TORE OFF HIS CLOTHES
Sea-LIon the Cause Of Considerable
Embarrassment to Owner and
Trainer of Animals.

A sea-lion looks much like a seal.
but 1t is larger, has a longer neck,
and holds its head very upright. One
OF the largest sea-lions ever kept In
captivity was once owned by Mr.. Carl
Hagenbeck, who buys and sells wild
animals. 1t weighed nearly a ton,
but it was so good-tempered and amia-
BILE that Mr.. Hagenbeck's father took
a great liking to 1t, fed it himself
every day, and made a great pet OF 1t.
At last 1t became so tame that IT
followed him about the grounds like q
dog, stopped when he stopped. and
then Topped on again after him In its
clumsy way, giving peculiar little cries
from time to time, as II to ask him to
stop, or not to walk SO fast.
One afternoon. when good many
people were looking at the sea-lion,
Mr.. Hagenbeck took some pieces Of
fish in a basket, and went into the
inclosure to feed his pet. He threw
one piece Of fish at time. and the
sea-lion caught them in his mouth.
Each time he caught a piece Of fish
he would gulp 1t down hurriedly, and
then give one of his peculiar cries, as
If begging for more. When he had
eaten more than half the basketful,
Mr.. Hagenbeck thought he had enough
for a meal, and taking up the basket,
turned to go out.
Rut the seal-lion did not agree with
him. Quick as a fash. he rushed up
to Mr. Hagenbeck, caught hold Of his
coat with his sharp teeth, and with
one wrench, not only tore 1t off his
back, but took large piece Of the
shirt with it. He then caught hold Of
the basket in the most greedy man.
ner, and began to gobble up the rest
of the fish as quick as he could.
He was very good-tempered about
1t, and gulped down his food until
the basket was quite empty; then he
went over to his master, as if to ask
If that were all. But poor Mr.. Hagen
beck was standing with his back to
the wall, for 1t had been stripped bare
of clothing, and before so many peo-
pie he felt ashamed. He called out
to his son to bring him an overcoat.
and when that came, he put it on, still
standing with his back to the wall,
while the sea-lion lowered about him,
evidently puzzled to know what was
the matter.-Youth's Companion.

T H E RE ARE T H R E E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O%o January 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.
