Mr. Krebs pointed out the necessity of first establishing bor ough grade lines (something Somerset has never bad) aud referred iucideutally to a nuiiilier of mistakes which be 1 lieves to have been made iu tbe past to the detriment of the town.

The Fifty-fourth Regiment, Pennsyl vania A'oluuteers, is foil by Johnstown people to be distinctively "our own" from the fact that it was laroly made up of Johnstown aud Cambria County Isys, while all but a very few of the t hers were near neighbors, being from Somerset and In. lima Comities. All the field officers were from Cambria. Aud tbe city and county have been all the more glad to claim the regiment beHUse of the splendid record it made as a whole. surpassed in fdthfulness aud genuine bravery, it is safe tn say, by none. A brief account, such as our ?olumns will permit, of these deeds is well worth printing, an! especially so now, wben ity ami county again have representa tives in the field a number of them sons of the Fifty fourth's veteran survivors. Of the regiment. Companies A, E, II, and I were wholly or partly recruited in Cambria County ; B, C, D, G, and part of II in Somerset ; w hile Indiana supplied part of A, and F and K were from Har risburg and Allentown, Lehigh County, respectively. During the months of Au gust and Septemlier, 1SI1, the companies rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, and tbe regiment was organized by the selection of the followingoilicers : Jacob M. Camp bell, Colonel ; Barnabas McDanuitt, Lieutenant Colonel ; Johu P. Linton, Major all of Cambria County. In Jauu- ary, isi2, W. Horace Rose, of Johnstown. was mustered in and made adjutant. Col. Campbell aud many of the officers and men had been in three-mouths' ser vice, and Lieutenant Colonel McDer mitt had served in the Mexican War. Iu February the regiment was ordered to Washington and assigned ja the work of guarding fifty-six miles cf the Balti more .v. Onio Railroad. It was an irk some task, but the work was really quite important and it w as well done, the regi ment taking, it is said, more Rebel pris oners, especially guerillas, than at ary subsequent period of equal length in its career, and more, it is also d'jclared, than any other regiment actually engaged. From June 1st to September lfKh 2KI guerillas and 273 horses, together with muskets, sabers, pistols, and other mili tary trappings, were captured. The Retiel forces finally Huring thickly into the territory, CI. Campbell telegraphed to Gen. Kelley for orders, who would give none, but advised the withdrawal from the road. Tbo Colonel decided not to follow the advice, but cling to bis perilous position, bis liuie band of nine hundred, without cavalry or artillery, being the only Union foires for a time in the hostile territory of Virginia. It was shortly after this, at Back Creek, that Colonel Campbell worked a very clever deception upon the euemy. He had only a small force, unable to cope with the superior strength of the Reliels, w hose pickets, however, could see only one side of Colonel Campbell's camp. The Colonel took his men and led tbem in on the exposed side of bis camp, then on around to the other portion, out of sight of the euemy. The men were Dot allowed to rest, but were marched out by a circuituous route and again entered the camp where they could be seeu by fli Rebel pickets. This being repeated several limes, tbe enemy conelu Jed Col. Campbell had quite a formidable force. and the deception was assisted by hol lowed logs wrapped in rubber blankets. w hich had tbe appearance of heavy siege guns. ' By such strategy au attack was delay ed aud the regiment held the territoiy as best it could until McClellan sent caval ry into the region after tbe Battle of An tietam, who, not believing there were any Union troops in the vicinity, took Colouel Campbell's men for Rebels in disguise, and it was with dilliculty that they were uudeceived. About the cle of the year the regiment was relieved of tbe onerous duty of guarding tbe railroad an order which was received with glad- ness. To follow the fortunes of the Fifty fourth after it left this duty and took up work more as a piece of tbe machinery of war than as a separate organization. would make a very long, a very bloody. but very honorabl-j history. The regl inent never lost its c" 1st i net individuality. and where difficult work was to be done the Fifty-fourth was snre to have a baud in iu Frequently it was greatly outnuiu bered by tbe enemy, notably at New market, w here the Regiment lost 4o killed. aud 65 were wounded so' badly that they. could not leave tbe Held, 120 men In all, receiving wounds in tbo battle. In this coiitli4 the Fifty-fourth was tbe last to leave the field and returned the fire of tbe enemy until ho ceased to pursue. I Picking itself up from the hardships of this battle, the regiment twenty days afterward was in -such splendid lighting trim that, although harried by shot and shell, it saved General Hunter's army at Slaunlou. Repelled from Lynchburg by far superior uutulera under Breckin ridge, Jones, and lmlxsleu, tbe Filry fonrth retired with credit, and in the retreat acnw the mountainsof West Vir ginia endured privations scarcely sur passes! in tbe annals of warfare. Concen trating again for Snicker's Ferry, tbe reg iment ag-iin met defeat, but defeat of which it may well tie proud, as it onca more saved the army. At ilalltown, Ce dar Creek, Opequan, Winchester, aud Fisher's Hill tbe regiment acquitted itself with honor, aud tbe enemy that had once tested its mettle did not banker for an other contest. In the famous engagement made memorable in song by "Sheridan's Ride," the Fifty-fourth suffered severely, being posted in advance, and the first to receive tbe enemy's blow. At Fort Gregg the regiment lost 20 killed aud wounded, and at High Bridge 21. At the latter place, the command of which the Fifty-fourth was a part was made prisoners, but it w as a case in which defeat aidod success, for Lee's columns were thus delayed several hours, enabling Sheridan to sweep around the enemy's rear, aud complete tbe destruction of that once proud aud defiant army. For four days, without rations, the captives march ed with the retreating Rebel Army, wheu. to their great joy, they were released from tbeir captivity and their starving condition by Grant's victorious columns. From Appomattox Court House tbe reg iment was sent to Camp Parole, Mary land, aud on the loth of July was mus tered out of service at liarrisburg. EX ECt'Tl V COM M'TTKE.

Buffalo Bill's Great Exhibition Soon te Ap pear Cheap Excumon Bates. When the patriotism cf tho people Is aflame and the movements of the army and navy of paramount interest it Is im possible to conceive of anything that could more powerfully appeal to the pub lic at this time in the way of amusement attraction than Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. It is no mere show intended to provide divers'ou for au afternoon and evening, and yet as an entertainment it is lieyond all measure the most diverting. lis real value lies in the fact that it is, more than any thiug else an international military tournament. Iu it you see vet erans of the Fifth U. S. Artillery hand ling a double light battery exactly as if it was in front of au enemy: Cavalrymen from the armies of Russia, England, Ger many, Mexico, Cuba, Egypt aud other foreign lauds show how soldiers of those nations haudle themselves; their ma noeuvres and tactics in lighting and their sports and pastimes in playing. Over Wl Indian warriors show the sort of fighting Buffalo Bill and his fellows had to do to wiu from tbem the vastexpausea of the arid Waleru plains which have been made to blossom with the happy homes of thousands of our countrymen. There is not space here to mention all the features of this great exhibition but men tion must be made of tbe insurgent veter ans fresh from the batlletields, prisons and hospitals of Cuba ; the magnificent military spectacle, Custer's Last Battle. It is the superb show, mail for man and horse for horse that opened this season w ith month at Madison Square Garden, New Y'ork city ; the same show of which the great editor. Mural Halsted said: "It is somebody's crime if all the chil dren do not see it." It will be at Johns town, June 2xtb, and excursion rates will be made to the Wild West ou that day on ail lines of travel. Flag, Picture! and Patriotlo Devices at Piiher'i Book Btor.

President McKinley studies all the movements of the war from a set of maps especially prepared for him by Prof. Prilchelt, chief of the coast ar.d geodetic survey, says the Washington correspon dent of the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat." The maps have been placed in tbe war room at tbe White House, aud tbe Presi dent refers to them many times a day. The maps are all band drawn, the work being done under Prof. Pritchett's per sonal supervision. Unlike nearly all of the war uiaps out, the map made for the president are ou a uniform scale. When he wants to determine the exact distance between any two points all he has to do ia to pick up the marked scale which hangs at tbe side and measure. The ships of the American fleet are designated by blue flags, the name of each being printed on the flag. The Spanish ships are designated by red Hags. The flags are moved as Information of the movements of the ships are received, so that a mere glance at the map reveals the naval situation. In addition to the large maps Prof. PritcheU has also made for the war room maps of the harbors where operatious are occurring. These maps are most minute. Tbey show every fortification, and also the depth of water at all points. Tbe president has been much pleased with the exceptional fa cilities which Prof. Priuhett has fur nished him to atudy the progress of the campaign. Hot Wee tier Beading.

Ee Tells How Hobsoa Corked tbe Bottle. A The Navy Department on Friday post ed the following bulletin giving a detailed official report from Admiral Sampson upou the heroism of Lieutenant Ilooson aud his men in sinking the Merriinac iu the Santiago channel : "Uuited States Flagship New Y'ork, off Santiago, June 3, 1-CS. Permit me to call your especial attentiou to Assistant Naval Constnii-tor Hobsou. As stated in a special telegram, before coming here I decided to make the harbir entrance se cure against the possibility of egress by Spanish ships by obstructing the narrow part of the entrance by sinking a collier at that point. Upon calling upo 1 Mr. H.ibson for his professional opinion as to si re method of sinking the ship, he man Tested the most lively interest in the problem. After several days considera tion, he presented a solution which he considered would insure the sinking of the ship when she reached tho desired point iu the channel. This plan we pro pared for execution when we reached Santiago. Tbe plan contemplated a crew of only seveu men and Mr. Hobson, who begged that it might he entrusted to him. Tbe auchor chains were arranged on deck for both tbe anchors, forward and aft, the plan Including the anchoring of tbe ship almost automatically. "As soon as I reached Santiago and had the collier to work upon, the details were completed and diligently prose cuted, hoping to complete them in 0110 day, as the moou and tide served best the first night after our arrival. Notwith standing every effort, the hour of 4 o'clock in the morning arrived and the prepara tion was scarcely completed. After a careful inspection of the final prepara tions I was forced to relinquish the plan for that morning, as dawu was breakiDg. Mr. Hobsou begged to try it at ail baz zards. This morning proved more pro pitious, as a prompt start could be made. Nothing could have been more gallantly executed. We waited impatiently after the firing by the Spaniards had ceased. Wheu they did not reappear from the harbor at ti o'clock I feared that they had all perished. A steam launch which had beeu sent iu charge of Naval Cadet Pow ell to rescue the men appeared at this time, coming out under a persistent fire of the lotteries, but brought none of the crew. A careful inspection of tbe hnrlior from this showed that the vessel Merri inac had been sunk in the channel. This afternoon the chief of staff of Admiral Cervera came out under a flag of truce with a letter from the Admiral extolling the bravery of the crew in an unusual manner. "I cannot myself too enrnostly express my appreciation of lbe conduct of Mr. Hobson and his gallant crew. I venture to say that a more brave and daring thing has not been done since Cushing blew up the Albemarle. "Referring to the inspiring letter which you addressed to the officers at the be ginning of the war, I am sure you will offer a suitable professional reward to Mr. Hobson and his companions. "I must add that Commander J. M. Miller relinquished his command with the very greatest reluctance, believing he would retain his command under all circumstances. He was, however, con vinced that the attempt of another per son to carry outthe multitude of details which had been iu preparation by Mr. llolwon might endanger its proper exe cution. I therefore took the lilierty to re lieve him for this reason only. There were hundreds of voluuteers who were auxiousto participate. There were l'a) from the Iowa, nearly as many from this ship, and large numbers from all the other ships, officers aud men alike, (signed) W. T. Sampson."
