The boys were free to go wherever
they wished until Wednesday at 7 a.
m., provided they did not get on
guard duty. On Wednesday
we went through pretty much the
same as of the day before. By tins time
the boys were settlecfxlown and en
joying what was in store for them.
The boys had been told some awful
tales about what they would have to
go through with. But by this time
they began to realize that it wasn't
as bad as it had been represented.
On Thursday we were put on pick
et duty. A signal was fireJ and we
had an imaginary sham battle; after
the battle was over we returned to
camp arriving about noon, then the
boys were free to have a good time
and they surely had it from then on.
On Friday morning we were up
and had breakfast and ready for
duty at six o'clock. The men were
all searched to see if any had loaded
shells, then they were given thirty
rounds of ammunition for this was
the day for the TBham buttle. The
crack of the jifles and the boom of
the cannon sounded like real war.
After the battle, was over.vwe re-
sham battle.

Damage by the Rains.
Recent rains have done much
damage to crops, bridges,' and mill
dams in this county. ; Last week the
bridge across Sandy Creek on the
Warrenton road was wrecked, and
we heard of several others that were
damaged. This week the "Sm Per
son bridge" succumbed and the abut
ment of the new iron bridge at Lau
rel was washed away. (This has
beem:epaired.)-The bridge at the
dyke on Lynch V creek also went this
week. We have heard of no damage
to bridges on the river nor to any of
the bridges on the south side of the
river. The dam of Jones mill at Lau
rel was broken, and we learned yes
terday that the dams at Whitakers's
and Gill's mill were destroyed or
partially wrecked. Low ground corn,
especially on the river and creeks, is
badly .damaged, if not totally de- ITEMS FROM MITCHINER.
