MELLICK, P. M. The Associate Society of the Red Cross of Philadelphia is maintaining its hospital at Camp Meade. Patients too ill to be moved to the city hospital are taken there. Its capacity to re ceive all these cases is inadequate be cause of the Society's inability to secure experienced women nurses for the nominal sum of sixteen dollars per month. Nurses willing to make the sacrifice and to engage in this laud able work will kindly apply by letter or report to "The Committee on Nurses," 1501 Chestnut Street, Phila delphia. Funds are needed to meet the increasing demands made upon the Society. We have plenty of farce comedies, and good ones too, but the best one appears here when Harry C. Gib son presents his musical farce com edy, "A Jolly Irishman" at the Grand Opera House, Saturday even ing, Oct. 8. We can heartily con gratulate Mr. Gibson on his success as an actor. When last seen here he was playing the star part in Irish Aristocracy, supported by the comedian Sam Ryan. Irish Aristo cracy is certainly a very funny farce comedy, but "A Jolly Irishman" is an irresistible laugh throughout the plav. All the specialties are new and novel, and every member of the company deserve great credit for the manner in which they play their respective parts. In Honor of the Twelfth- The members of the WiUiamspoit Wheel Club have inaugurated a move ment for the raising of funds with which to erect a monument in honor of the Twelfth Regiment, Pennsylvania Vol unteer Infantry, and to the memory of the members who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country during the recent war between the United States and Spain. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. Prom Porto Bioo. In a letter to a friend in town this week, Wilbur Fisher, a former employe of the local Telephone Exchange, who joined the Volun teer Engineer Corps, says, among other things: " As I am writing this letter, the rain is coming down in torrents, accompanied by a hard wind. The residents here say it is the equinoc tial storm. The water comes right through our tents. Charley Stohner lias been on stable duty for the last week or two, he and two other men from our company are taking care of 12 horses that belong to the Colonel and the staff. The other fellows did not let him do much and he had a good, dry place to sleep ; he never had to go out in the rain. One of the fellows just came up after the doctor for him. They are going to let him stay where he is, it is much drier than the hospital tent, and the fellows with him will take good care of him. I think I will be sent down to do the work soon, and then I will look after him myself. A man has to be as good as dead before they will dis charge or furlough him at this end. I have been sick a great deal lately. In this climate you cannot tell an hour before how you will be the next. I see men one day well and hearty, and the next day they are in the hospital. There was quite an alarm here two weeks ago about yellow fever, and we, as well as the other troops, were quarantined for ten days. We are getting better food the last week than we got before, thanks to the Red Cross. I would like to give you a de scription of this place and of the people, but am not allowed outside of the lines. Our camp is situated about one mile from Ponce, on a side hill, facing the bay and a part of Ponce. We can see the harbor and can see miles out at sea.

Oranges, two for a cent, bananas, each, cocoanuts, each, lemons, 3 for ic., pomgrades, zjc., mangoes (a fruit about the size of a goose egg), 2 for ic. There are lots of other fruit, but I don't know the names. Flour sells for $9 and $lO per barrel, Irish po tatoes, $3 per bushel. The principal products are sugar, molasses and coffee. All around us are cane fields, it looks someth ing like a corn stalk, only it is thick er and higher. The natives about live 011 sugar cane. Every day in going to the bay to swim we pass through cane fields, and every man jumps out and gets a long piece of cane to chew on. We are taken to the bay every day to bathe. I gath ered some beautiful shells along the shore, and will bring them to Bloomsburg when I come home. Uncle Samuel is not a very prompt paymaster, we have not had any pay for two months. The only money we can get hold of, is by selling our allowance of hard tack to the natives, wi'ich brings yi cent a piece. The mail steamer is nearly ready to leave so I will close.
