General history has taken but little notice of the
fact that Pensacola: has been the seine of "war's
alarms," several times before the naval and
miii
-tary operations which make it at the present mo
ment the centre of se Muth interest.

and provinee was under, command of .. . Major Rene
ral Campbell, who offered a stout resistance to the
laVsiders,.but unavailingly. Ajournal keptduring
the siege by - Major Robert Farmar, of the British
army, premiss a number of interesting incidents.
The first entry, Map* 9th, notices the appear
_ ante off the bar of thirty-two Spanish vessels, which
landed some - men on Santa Rosa Island. On the
11th, they had erected. some batteries 'there, and
driven off two British vessels. On -the 12th, the
Cliffs, British fort, fired 'at some men erecting a
battery, and drove them from their work. 'Ott the
-19th, twenty-two of the enemy's vessels passed the
Cliffs, receiving no damage. On the 20th, Captain
Stevens arrived with a party of Indians, who said
that , the day , previo us they had captured a boat
of the enemy,-and hilted nine out of ten of the
crew. :Same day, Calves sent a flag of truce,
threatening, but asying it was not his intention to
burn the shipping, Ring's building, or town. For
several' days the
. passage of enemy's vessels by the
fort (the-Clifus) is noticed. ' On the 16th the Six.
*crab twit', Sixtieth regiments left Pensacola 'and
took up stations at the redoubts." On the 20th
the Indians brought in twenty-three of enemy's
horses and two scalps. ' On the 26th the 'enemy's
fleet weighed'amshor and took up position between
Moores and Sutton's lagoons. A British detach
ment one hundred men, under Capt. Byrd,, was
sent out to meet theui. These were joined by 250
Indians, under 'Capt. Cameron. It seems that
the British made free use of the Indians during
-this siege, The Spanish and French fleet now
numbered forty-two sail. Owthe 29th the Indians
came reporting IL brush with the enemy beyond
Sutton's lagoon, in width they drove in the whets
three 'times. The enemy's grenadiers fired four
times, - and then retreated, woundino. four Indians.
The Indians report," proceeds the journals "that
they killed and wounded antunber of the enemy,
' but coned not get their hair on 'account of. the
enemy's troops turning out with a number of
dragoons." We suppose this excuse was satisfactory
to the British commander.
. - . .
-On the 30th; Captain Kennedy, of-the Maryland
'Loyalists a. tories) retreated to "Neill's Mea
dows" before the fire of the enemy. Afterwards
some Indians, supported. by some British, moved
--forward, and, with the additional aid of fifty ne
groes, forced the enemy to retreat under cover of
their shipping. The Indians brought in, as trophies,
four drums. a head, and "a number of scalps."
On the sth of April the Indians (whoseem to have
done, so far, a large part of the work) attacked
bath wings of the enemy's camp, and kept them
under arms alt night.- On- the 7th; a ll•adeok,
(Fleming), a deserter from the enemy, eeported the
enemy badly off for provisions. The same day
there arrived in 'camp, from St. Augustine, en ex.
pram, saying that Lord Cornwallis had killed • 3,000
-of the rebels (our revolutionary tires) at Hillsboro,
North Carolina. dame day five negroes took a
Spaniard at Gull Point. , •
. April 23ti, anutherdeserter from the enemy tells
the old story how badly the enemy are faring for
-, provisions—" one midi gels only three ounces of
beans a day." The 24th was a busy day. Three
:thousand of the _enemy advanced on the British
- - entrer.chments and drove back some Indiana, bat
were in turn driven back by Capt. Bird, of the
Sixtieth. • Then Capt. Kearny with fifty proviu
- (dials, and Capt. Johnstone; with two howitzers and
two field pieces, joined Capt. Byrd, who, however,
raturnefi, attempting nothing further.
Late in the day a brig fired at the fort, but - was
repulsed by a single howitzer, fired from the beach.
Later still, Capt. Kearny bad a brush with the
enemy and took a prisoner belonging to the Irish
Brigade" (in the _Preach service). A messenger
from Carolina, the _same day, brought word that
Lord Cornwallis bad killed 2,000 rebel* at Guilford,
whreat, says the journal, we, at S P. M., " fired a
- fens joie." ' On the 26th, a flag of trues returned,
reported that the " fleet ouleide" (of the bar) corn.
Fatal II Spanish and 4 French lbac•of-battle ships,
and a "few frigates." The defensive works in the
British HMI had been strengthened day by day, and
this day a counter battery on the left wing was finish
ed and another begun on the right of the A redoubt.
•On the, rah the enemy advanced and were mot
with the usual spirit. Two deserters from the Irish
Brigade. who came in,the next day, reported that
one hundred of the enemy were killed and wounded.
On the 29th the enemy began throwing up an en
trenchment, covering, a length of two miles. The
British advanced picket was obliged to tetire.
Tired from the fort and her redoubts shot and shell
• during day and night at the enemy's works. May
Ist, kept up the lire on these works. On the 24, -
the enemy began in their turn. They hoisted their
flag and opened batteries of six 24-pounders and
. two mortar*, killed one man and wounded five.
The damage done to the fleetewea repaired at night.
On the 2d, the enemy fired five hundred and thirty
fear shots and one hundred and eighty-six shells,
killing one Man and wounding two, but doing little
other 'Assuage. About four hundred shot were
picked up, "some of which were returned to the
Dons."
Oa the 4th, the British sent out a storming party,
which captured the works in front of the advanced
redoubt, burning them sad spiking six pieces of
cannon. The enemy's loss was great, while the
storming party had only two killed and two wound-.
ed. The storming party consisted of "provincials"
(American loyall4s—tories) and the " Waldeck,"
a body of German troops in British pay. A lieu
tenant of the Irish Brigade was brought, In wounded,
and dying 'the next day, was buried with the
honors of war, Perhaps, at this late day, it is not
a matter of i nterest to, say that his name was
O'Dunn.
On the sth there-was a brisk firing from both
eider. The enemy fired 85 shotand 43 shells. The
journal adds: We had nobody hurt." This
phrase has kept its place, in our vernacular. The
oth was another lively day on the part of the enemy,
who fired 503 shot 'and 200 - Shells. This sre was
continued with great vigor, and damaged the ad
vanced redoubt greatly.
The 7th of May, opened inanapiciouidy, a shell
from the enemy bursting among some fuses, - loose
powder and shells. But the fort was encouraged
by a deserter, who brought word that the Spanish
and French commanders had quarreled, the latter
deolering that if the British dill not surrender the
next day he would withdraw. A party of Indians,
too, returned whh ten scalps."
Then follows-May Bth which was the decisive
day. At 9A. hi. a shell from the enemy's bat.
tery entered the door of the magazine at the ad
vanced redoubt,tis the men were receiving powder.
The magazine exploded, killing forty British sea
men and forty-five Pennsylvania loyalists, besides
wounding many others. This was a signal for an
advance of the enemy in force At 10 o clock they
captured the advanced redoubt, and commenced
a severe sre on the centre redoubt. The loss on
the British aide was now large.. At 2 P. M. a &sof
truce was hoisted from Fort George, and a °arm
latiOn offered. The next 'day was spent settling
terms - , and on the 10th of May, at 5 P. M., the
British surrendered to the arms of Spain. Spanish
grenadiers took possession of the lines and of Port
. George, and French chasseurs of the centre redoubt.
-They then went to Bavans,',and thence to New
York, where they arrived July 12th, when the dif
ferent corps were assigned to erintormieuts on Long
Island..
An English statement of this affair published in
1700, says the enemy's forces at this siege consisted
of eleven Spadeb and four Preach ahipeof the line,
two frigates,of thirtyeix guns, three sloops of war,
'mid a number of gunboats and, otherarmed vessels.
They bad 7;000 Spanish and 300 French troops,
besides iuncrloans and Indians. The same account
sets down the British garrison, including the whole
force, naval and military, regulars and 'volunteers,
at not exceeding 1,000.
The incidents, recorded in this journal show how
Ifttle repugnance there was at the employment of
'lndians as alike, and - how - perfectly et liberty they
were to'indulge their penchant ,for scalping. Tins
feature distinguishes our present' unhappy war fa

buildings should be burnt and property destroyed,

Pennsylvania Regiments at the Army.
In all this grand host now guarding the heart.of
the nation, none may feel a greater pride than
Pennsylvanians. In every division,in every brigade,
her gallant sons are found, and, wherever found,
they have reflected credit upon the noble old arab.
of the Pedoral Union. That Keystone is yet in its
place; and though traitors aro at work to under
mine the arch, yet will the strong arms and the
brave hearts of the Keystone's sons restore the mu
tilated but not removed stones of that fair fabric.
The commander,in-chief is a Pennsylvanian; and
out of,the eight division. generals now in front of
'Washington, on Virginia soil, four of them—Nic-
CAbL, PORTER; FRANKLIN, and HEINTZELMAN—
are from the same State.
The First Division, or that upon the north, com
manded by Major General GEORUE A. Wenn!, is
purely a Pennsylvania division, containing twelve
regiments of infantry, one of rifles, (tlie Buektalls,
who'so completely astonished the rebels at Dranes
l'illPi) and, one' regiment of cavalry, besides three
batteries of about eighteen guns. They are called
the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, but might bo more
properly styled the Pennsylvania Advance Corps.
They have obtained the consistency of regulars,
and are as cool under fire as the best regulars we
have in the service. Their general is one of the
best officers we have in the service, and the staff
and regimental officers are likewise celebrated for
their military capacity. The Reserve Corps is a
credit to the State and to Governor Cumin, who
so thoroughly equipped them
In the next division, on the south, Gen. Wm. F.
Ssurit's, are the Forty-seventh and Forty-ninth

Falls Chareh Village
Go',puma's " Deserted Village " fitly describes
this once neatand prosperous little town. The de
stroying bands of the rebels first stripped it of its
attractions, and loft many of its tenements without
windows or bolts. The venerable church, built in
days long gone by, with bricks imported from Eng
land, has suffered from the sacrilegious hands of both
armies. 1113 interior bap been out up and carried
away in small fragments as mementos, until pulpit
and seats have nearly all disappeared. Many of
the houses have been deserted, and few indications
of comfort remain in the village, once the residence
of families of affluence and distinction.
Visit to Harper's Ferry
A party, consisting of Vito President IlAnwr,
Representatives BUELL, of New York, Tnow -
BRIDGE, of Michigan, WALTON PIKE and RICE, of
Maine, Colonels RoMason, BEALL, and Fumy
nnowlt, of the army, and others, on Friday pro
ceeded over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to
Harper's Ferry. At Frederick, Md., they ware
joined by Dfej. Gen. BANKS and staff, together with
a largo party of ladies, including Mrs. Gen. BANKS.
The party proceeded without occident to Harper's
Ferry, and, after spending some time in that local
ity, returned to Frederick in the evening, where
they were entertained in a handsome manner by
General Bents. Speeches were made at several
points by Vice President Ileatrom and others, and
the party was loudly cheered at every stopping
place., At Harper's Ferry a salute was fired by
Major TYPIDALEI iE command of the U 411012 forces,
which brought from their biding places the rebel
pickets on the Virginia side, who appeared at seve
ral points. The party returned to Washington at
noon yesterday.
The Transit of Mercury
It is well known that the inferior planets, Mar•_
cury and Venus, occasionally pats directly between
the earth and son, on which occasion they are seen
as round black spots traversing the solar disc. This
phenomenon is known among astronomers as .a
transit of the planet. With Mercury these occur
rences ere separated by Intervals. of seven and
thirteen years, whine with Venus the intervals of
time between such passages aro eight and ono hun
dred and fire years and upwards. The last transit
of Venus across the solar dice occurred in 1709, and
another will take plaoe in 1874, the interval being
one hundred and five years. The transits of the
latter planet are of the highest astronomical im
portance, furnishing, as they do, the best means of
determining the solar parallax, whereby the exact
distance of the earth from tbo sun is determined.
The min's parallax is the most important element
in the 'babel° solar system, being used in every
calculation which extends to any of the cosmical
bodies.
'The transits of Mercury likewise furnish a means
of estimating the solar parallax, but only approxi
mately. Their frequent occurrence takes from
them the novelty which attaches to phenomena of
rare occurrence ; nevertheless, they are always
carefully observed by astronomers. •
The transit of Mercury, which took place on the
11th of November last, was regarded by astrono
mers with unusual interest. bl. Le Verricr, tho
celebrated astronomer, whose name is memorably
associated with the discovery of the planet Neptune,
bas lately been engaged in some very elaborate re
searches on the movement of Mercury, and among
his results is the production of a now set of tables
for the planets, and a deoisivo test of the
accuracy of these new tables would be afforded
by the transit of the planet on the 11th of Novem
ber. The anxious solicitude with which the great
est astronomer awaited the event, we happen to
know from,a letter of his to an American astrono
mer, written only a week prior to the occurrence,
wherein 'he referred to the transit and the discre
'wey of three minutes, in the time or the begin
ning of the transit, between his now tables and the
old tables of the planet, his tables making the time
three minutes later.
The Comptes Rendus, for the 25th of November,
bee reached thiscountry, and we have the results.
On the day of the transit, Lo Verrier and his asso
ciates stationed themselves at the various tele
scopes of the Imperial Obiervatory at Paris, to
observe the transit, but, unfortunately, cloudein
terfered and prevented their witnessing the phe
nomena. To provide against this contingency,
astronomers had been despatched to remote parts
of France, to observe the transit, and It appears
that they were similarly disappointed. In Italy
and Qermany, however, the sky was propitious,
and the• transit well observed. On making a
proper reduction of the Italian and German ob
servations to the Imperial Observatory, and taking
an arithmetical mean of them, it was found that
the tables of Le_Verrier differed from the mean by
only one second in the time of the beginning of the
transit, and that the old tables of the planet were in
error nearly three minutes.
- Thus the movements of a planet, so ranch re•
garded by the ancient Egyptians, the astronomical
Ifindoos, and actually worshipped by the Aseditee
in Western Arabia, become, after twenty-live cen
turies' observation and study, completely known,
and capable of the moat exact calculation. By
this great achievement has this highly gifted and
already renowned astronomer become entitled to
new homage and gratitude from the intellectual
world.—Boston Courser.
Curtonttes of the Sunbeam
Simple as the white ray of the itin'a light ap
pears,
it is found, on close observation, to be com
posed of at least three distinct elements, and to
possess many curious and 'Wonderful properties.
The three elements of which wo speak, are light,
heat, and chemical force; and they may be sepa
rated from each other by means of a simple instru
ment. Darken a room, and bore a small hole
through one of the window-shutters, so as to admit
a ray of light from the sun. Place a triangular
prism of glass horizontally across the ray, with one
edge down, so that the light may pass through it.
The ray will be bent upward, and will strike the
wall at a higher point than it did before the prism
•was interposed. It will not, however, all be bent
'equally, so as to make the round spot it did before,
but will form an elongated image of seven bril
liant and most delicate colors, which shade into
each other, and fade away indefinitely at the ends
of the image. The lowest of these colors, when
the prim is placed as directed, is always red;
end the others, in the order as we ascend, are
orange, yellow ! green, blue, indigo, and
Suspend a delicate thermometer, in each of the
colored rays, and It will be found that the violet
ray imparts the least heat, and that the heat in
creases as we pass down through the several colors.
If we continue our observations, with the ther
mometer down beyond the red ray, we Ond a point
where no light falls, where the thermometer re
ceives more heat than it'does within the light, The
rays of light are separated by_the prism from those
Of heat.
, Another curious fact which has been observed
also proves that the light and heat of the sun
beam are distinct elements. If we suspend a ther
mometer in the vicinity of a close stove, which
emits heat but not light, the heat radiating from
the stove will raise the mercury in the thermome
ter. But if wo interpose a . plate of transparent
glass, none of these dark rays of heat can pass
through it ; it is entirely opaque to them.
If we now increase the temperature of the stove
until it becomes red hot, the rays of heat begin to
pad through the glass and affect the thermometer ;
and if we raise the temperature to a white heat,
the rays pass freely through the glass. If we vary
the experiment, and use crystals of rook salt, in
stead' of glass, we find that the dark rays of heat
yam out as freely through the salt as do those
which ere accompanied with light.
Sowed the alchemists discovered, centuries ago,
that the chloride of silver, which is as white as
snow, turns black on exposure to tho light; and
more recently it has been found that a large num
ber of bodies are thus atfeetiid by light. It is this
power of light which is used in the daguerreotype
and 'photograph process. By more than ono menus.
the force of this element can be measured in the
several parts of the spectrum, and it is found to be
Meat powerful in the violet ray, and to extend, en
tirely beyond the light. It is not visible to the
eye ; and it is therefore neither light nor heat, It
is easy, after thus dividing the sun-beam, to re
combine its parte, when the white ray will produce
the several abets of light, of heat, and of chemical
change, which are . produced separately by its seve
ral elements.—Sclentific American.
'TRW PRESS. ---PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7,; 1862.
THE CITY.
ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS ON SECOND PAGE
EFITOT On THE WAR UPON BIBLE PUBLICA-
TroNs.—ln time of war or epidemic the circulation
of the Scriptures never fails to increase enormously.
The reason for this fact is so obvious that it need
net be specified. The American Bible Society,
during the last eight months, has issued 803,000
Bibles and Testaments, being 321,000 of an increase
over the like period for the preceding year. The
average issue per working day is about 4000 vo
lumes, or seven volumes a minute. Since t he cons.
monoement of the war Oror half a Million have been
supplied to the volunteers.
The Philadelphia Bible Society confines its ope
rations to the city, and supplies all our public insti
tutions, hotels, and shipping with Bibles or Testa-
ments. Tho United States vessels, before leaving
port, are visited by their oolporteur, and all that is
wanted in that way is furnished. After supplying
Abe home demand, they give what they can to the
State Society, for destitute parts of this and other
countries. The State organization, known as the
Penrisylvaniaßible Society, has, directly or through
its numerous branches, furnished 00,000 Testaments
gratuitously to the troops, including 21,000 supplied
to troops leaving this city, through its auxiliary,
the Philadelphia Society.
The Pennsylvania Bible Society has a system of
local auxiliaries, extending through the State, by
which they distribute Bibles judiciously, and to the
extent of means furnished them. About thirty
years ago they gave 5111,000 to send Bibles to the
Sandwich Islands, and continue to give largo sums
for aiding distribution in fereign lands. The Bible
House, at Seventh and Walnutstreets, was bulkier
them seven years ago by same citizens of Philadel
phia, and here, different Bible associations meet
and all matters connected with Bible operations are
attended to ; whilst the depository attached is the
distributing reservoir for the State.
Turning to the operations previous to the out
break of the war, we find scarcely less activity and
zeal, not only in our city, State, and nation, but
throughout the entire globe. The Bible societies of
Europe, Asia, and America, since the organization
of the first one, in 1804, have issued over sixty
seven millions of copies in one hundred and sixty
langiinges, and comprising one hundred and ninety
versions; of these, one hundred and forty aro
translations never before printed. Tho number of
versions now in real use, anti more or less circulating,
is one hundred and forty-seven. It is impossible to
arrive at a correct estimate of the millions upon
millions issued from other sources ; but when it is
remembered that the Bible is, and always has
been, the leading book with the publisher and
tradesman, the aggregate number must bo enor
mous; and it is incomprehensible that there should
be one person whose curiosity, if nothing hotter,
would not prompt him to examine, with. care, a
book that enlists such remarkable zeal for its circu
lation, in the midst of the most enlightened commu
nities of the world.
Over thirtyfour millions of dollars .havo been
disbursed by the two Bible Societies of England
and the United States, a large proportion of which
was paid for translations in other languages, and
in countries where there was no written language
the laborious and tedious work of making one was
performed solely that they might know the contents
of this ono groat book.
TUE FIRST Goon SNOW STORM.—The snow
which commenced to fall on Sunday night continued
its visitations at intervals during yesterday. The
pavements and housetops were draped in white,
and there was a sufficient quantity of snow upon
the frozen around to afford - good sleighing. Tho
lovers of this description of locomotion were not
slow to take advantage of the unusual visitor, and'
the streets were soon lousiest with the merry,
jingling sleigh-bells. The flakes continued to 'de
scend Mr into the forenoon, and the boys enjoyed
rare sport in pelting each other with snow-balls.
The snow was a godsend to another class of boys,
for many youngsters who had no time nor heart for
snow-balling were afforded an opportunity of earn
ing a few sixpences by shoveling the wintry en
cumbrances from the sidewalks. The city rail
ways were much incommoded early in the day;
bait the salt cars were put in use, and the snow upon
the rails was soon melted, to the unutterable
chagrin of livery-stablo keepers:
The :now, which bad been welcomed by adult
sleighers and juvenile /dodders, was death to the
hopes of the skaters, as it completely spoiled, for
• the present, the fine skating upon the Schuylkill.
During Saturday ; thousands of skaters, of both
sexes, enjoyed themselves upon the ice. On Sun
day the crowd was again very large, audit the
afternoon not only was the ice covered with skaters
and sliders, but the hill-sides above the dam at
Fairmount swarmed with persons who were gazing
upon the animated scene presented upon the frozen
surface of the river. Among the exciting inci
dents of the afternoon was the plunging of a man
into an air-hole. Another man, who ran to his as
sistance, fell upon the ice, and slid into tho hole.
Both were speedily rescued, with no more serious
damage than a thorough ducking and chilling.
ICE ON THE DELAWARE--Yesterday the
river Delaware was completely choked up with largo
cakes of floating ico. During the flood-tide on
Sunday night the ice was packed close together, and
for several hours it was immovable. After the tido
commenced to run down, yesterday morning, about
7 o'clock, nearly en hour elapsed before the ice be
came separated and again commenced to move.
The surface of the river presented a desolate look
yesterday, with huge Bolds of snow-covered ice
floating slowly along and no signs of life except an
occasional tug or ferry boat struggling desperately
through the ice barrier. The ferry boats which ply
between the city and Camden took long resting
spells between their trips, much time being con
sumed in the passage from point to point, to the in •
convenience of school children and others. The first
trip made by the Camden ferry boat took nearly
two hours. The boat at times became perfectly
tightened in the ice, and the powerful machinery
was unable to _ram_ _ In the afternoon the tripe,
although slow and tedious, were made with more re
gularity. The floating ice did considerable damage
to the differentboats and their machinery. The City
Ice Boat has not yet been put in condition for the
performance of her legitimate duty since her re
cent hard service upon the Potomac. There are
several vessels at the Delaware Breakwater which
are bound up ; their chances of getting into port at
a very early period are not very great at present.
The temporary shutting up of the navigation has
had the effect of making Delaware avenue very dull,
and the longshore men aro thrown almost entirely
out of employment. Owing to the ice in the river
and the inclemency of the weather, the work at
our navy yard was considerably interfered with. A
number of the mechanics had to suspend opera
tions in consequence thereof. The dry docks have
been hauled in for protection, and no vessels will be
placed on them during the cold 'weather.
MILITARY FUNERALS.—The funeral Of Chas.
Keller, a member of Company B, First California
Regiment, who died at Poolesville, Md., took place
yesterday afternoon, from the residence of his
Mother, Fifth street, below Master. A portion of
Col. Frisbmuth's regiment was present.
Thomas R. Birch, first lieutenant of Company 11,
Ninety-ninth Regiment P. V., will he buried to
morrow morning, from his father's residence, No.
1707 Vino street. The lieutenant died on Friday
last at Alexandria, Va. He was a graduate of the
High School, and universally esteemed by a large
eirele of friends. ,
ENTIRELY UNCALLED Fon.--Judging from
the number of ash barrels and boxes that are stand
ing along the curbs in some parts of the Second
ward, wo may infer that ashes arc at a discount.
Tho boxes have become plethoric since the ash
man's last visit, much to the chagrin and inconve
nience of the housekeepers in that section. It is
evident- that if the ash-men have made now rules
with the new year they work badly, and a change
from the present condition of things will bo highly
appreciated by numerous residents in the Second
ward.
Prorun.vs Ov Rusn's CAMC.—We have bemi
shown, by a gentleman, who bee already produced
several fine sketches of Col. Rush's camp, two oil
paintings, illustrating the arrival of the regiment
at Washington. One represents the arrival by day
light, December 13, and the other gives them at
their camp fires at night, at the same station, they
having been delayed there by tho non-arrival of
their horses.

PURE COD-LIVER OIL•
The repugnance of most patient!! to COD-LIVER
OIL, and the inability of many to take it at all, has In
duced various forms of disguise for Its administration
that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of
them answer in special Caere, but more often the vehicle
neutralizes the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as
unpalatable and of lose therapeutic value. ThoroPug
mince, nausea, &e., to invalids, induced by disgust of the
011, is entirely obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.
COD-LIVER OIL CAPSULES have boon much need
lately in Europe, the experience there of the gobd re.

Todd° from the naturally auggestcd advantages, are oaf
