to capture Fort Fisber on Sunday

The.Journal says two attempts were made to
take Fisher by storm, but both were gallantly
repulsed by our junior yolunteers. We might
' mention many instances of individual gallantry

could hardly foil to do unintentional injustice,

of "extra" juniors, composed of boys from
ten to fifteen years of age, who reported to
Wen. Holmes tor duty, armed and equipped lor

young, declined their services, upon which

?A gentleman of Henley-on-Thames offered
a farmer, wnen at tbe market, a dinner and a
bottle of wine, if he would bring biin a grain
-of wheat on the followiug market day, and
double the guantity each week until that day
twelve month. This was acceded to for the
moment: but the follomng statement will perhaps,
satisfy those who have never entered into
similar calculations of the impossibility of
fulfilling such an agreement :?-Amount of the
