During the -prin. , of 186-1 l MO on detail at General- Ord's heatiquart ers, and frequent ly carried dispatches to General Grant- Ire knew we as one of General Ord's orderlies When the latter was transferred from the north to the south side of the James River, and operated with General Sher:duo in the _rout and capture of Lee's army, I wls often compelled to ride throuuh the greater part of tur own troops before I could find Grant and deliver my dispatches. One morning in April I received some cap tured letters and orders aid r r I • directed to find General Urant and do liver them to him. Alter riding severhl hours, I, found him b:tivego our lines during one of the rtint and rear attackA which the enemy noide rip,,tr our left, near Diowiddie Court Thisslear attack produced not a lit• tie confusion in our troops. Here and there was hurrying toned fro, riding in hot haste, giving and changing orders, taking new po ;sitions, or changing front. As yet the firing wuq d owi po r y ; a few had been killed. and sever,' wou.ided. (3rooeral Grant, accompa nied with one staff..ffieer and an orderly or two, was aroiiting the divi•tion and brigade commanders in the suitable disposition of their forces, lre-havirrg-co - me - u - pon tluti part of our line soon after these simultat.eous at tackq were made. While engaged in these' arrangements, three soldiers passed near the General. err rying a dead man, wrapped in a blanket; from die skirmish line. Grant rode up to them, and. ordering them to stop, said : 'Whom have you, here'?' One of them replied : We have the body of our captain. We are taking it to the rear. He was just now killed on tke skirmish line ' They were young men, rather tall and fine looking, and appeared from eighteen to twen• ty-four years of age. (You remember, my brave boys,' , aid the General, 'that the first duty of a soldier, in the h.par nt hattle, is to merure the victory; that ioloiled, there will he A.nfficient tune cart lit the wou:;orid. eodeet the captured property, and bory the dead.' , We know that, General,' !..aid the oldest, glancing at the starts of the .Lieutenant-Geb oral; 'but he was our father, too.

They laid the body of their lather at the roots of a pine tree which stood near by, and half runniug,'half walk tet•trned to their re. , itnent. Tears glis tened itt the eyes of their commanding gen eral ay he retnarlicd their earnest though sorrowful tesignation, and he often turned to catch a glimpse of them as they sank in the little valleys and rose on the hills, hurrying hack. Within less than two hours the battle fc,r the day "" as won. The three brothers came uut unhurt. The body of their father waa embalmed at City feint, and sent to Parma, Michigan. A hide more than a month afterward, when that part of the army passed through Richmond, the two younger brothers were the jollier of f icers in their fathers company, and the elder was the adjutant of their regi ment. • A CHRISTMAS.

Close to the garden was a sand pit, by the aide of the road, under a high hank, and the children, after plucking tile corn, were throwing the ears into the pit. There were three children in tile pit, receiving the corn as thrown to them by the two others, and while so doing the weight of the two above caused the bank to cave in, burying those in the pit entirely from sight.

A RIVAL To Dlt 0113611NG —A formi dable rival to Dr. Cumming. has arisen in - Australia, and has published a hook contain ing the most dreadful prophecies, supported by incontrovertible passages of Scripture.— ilis readers are informed that, contrary common belief', the earth, instead of being ornuge shaped, has the shape of' a pine apple, and is elongated, instead of being flattened at the pr les; that this elongation has got such a pitch that the earth is 16out to change itg centre of gravity. Roiao is to be suddenly overwhelmed and seem on mote forever; and the whole Northern Ilemis here wal share more ot - lessttithe. tremendous disturbance. The dwellers on the north side of the equa tor are informed, however, that by emigre_ cape the threatened cataclysm, and, after it is over, return to etTl the new earth, which is to be so pervaded with currents of mag neti,,m and electriety that the soil will be fruitful beyond the power of the liveliest im agination to conceive, and man is to live as long as the oak of the forest. The exp.run• der of this theory threatens to come out with another and bi?ger book next year, support ed by more Scripture; from which we infer that the Northern hemisphere is in no int. mediate danger, A FREEIIOLDEa —A gentleman who is rather given to story tolling relates the fol lowing: When I was a yowl..

A great deal of litigation was going on there about that time, and it was not always an easy matter to obtain a jury. One day was summoned to act in that capacity, and repaired,to court to get Excused. On my name being called I informed his Honor, the Judge, that I was not a freehold er, and therefore not qualified to serve. 'Where do you reside ?' 'inquired the Judge. am stopping, for the time being, at Port udson.' • 'You board at the hotel, I presume?' take my meals there, but I have rooms in another party(' the town, where I lodge.' 'So you kee^ehelor's hall ?' 'Yes, sir.' 'how long have you lived in that man ner ?' About six months.' think you are qualified, gravely remark. ed the Judge; 'for I have never known a man to keep bacheloes hall the length of time you name - who had not dirt enough in his room to make , him a freeholder ! The Court does not ex:min ycu.' , . A school in Massachusetts was under ex amination, when opc of the examiners said : 'lf 1 had a mince pie, and should give three•twelfth to John, three-twelfth to Isaac, and should kcep half the pie myself what would there be left. There was a profound study among the scholars, but finally one lad held up his hand as a eigoal that he was ready to answer. Well, sir, what wilt there be left ? Speak up loud, so that all ^an hear,' said tho ex aminer. 'The plate,' shouted the hopeful fellow- 'You say that you know a horse _front a jackass whoa you Fe e then] ?' asked a coun sel of rather a dultlooking witness. 'Oh, ye. as—just so, drawled out the intended victim, gaging intently at his legal tormentor, knows the difference, and I'd never take you for a horse,' After the clergyman had united a happy hpair, not loop,' ago, an awful silence ensued, which was broken by an impatient youth ea _claiming; 'Don't be so unspeakably happy When a young lady hats very.awcat hair, is it a consequence or her fastening it wiUt a honey-comb ?
