As it may {be presumed that most of them, be- fore visiting the locality itself, wil have read a description of the event- {ful battle of the Viains of Abraham, we do not purpose describing the whole action, but shall relate merely a few episodes of that famous dav, iwhich were, however, of great impor- | tance in deciding the issue of the con- test. Leaving the city of Quebec side togards the citadel, and follow- ing the erest of the river bank, here about thre¢ hundred feet high, we soon reach a cove called by the French Foulon, and wmiterwards known as Wolle"s Cove. A little further oun we reach another cove, where the French had a battery near a stone house built as a country seat by the Bishop of Samos. A short distance further up the river there was a post with a hundred and fifty men under arms, day and nigh{. Similar posts were scattered along the heights the river bank as far as Cap Rouge, These heights were patrolled by two hundred. cavalry and fifteen hugidred foot, under Bougainville. : The strength of this force is thus agrounted for. Wolfe had failed in every attempt to land on the Beau port Flats; east of the city, and as the English must conquer or aye before the 1st of October, fearing > dapgers of navigation, the mind of their commander-in-chief was turned towards the "inaccessible heights" above the town for a last trial helore giving up the campaign. Accordingly some of the fleet, under Admiral Holmes, diaving on board about four thousand soldiers, were sent wesy of the city. The instractions were to ascend the river nightly with the in- coming tide, and then descend again in the morning with the ebb tide. It seemed evident to the French that their. intention was to find some up- guarded locality in which to land the soldiers As to the date of attack. the moon) ithe tide, and the wind had all to he taken into accommt.

The object of this 'was to as far as possible were left from draw Bougainville from Wolie's Cove. To prevent Montcalm frm aiding those at the Cove and Samos when the alarm should be given, it was ar- ranged that Admiral Saunders, with the rest of the fleet, would make a faint attack gn the Beauport samp, as soon as a red light should spywar at the mast head of the Sutherland This light wotld be shoyn when Wolle with one hundred picked men should find himseli on the top of the heights at the Cove. Then all the vessels un- der Admiral Holmes were quickly to disembark their troops to hscend the captured hifi. Soon after morning of the of three * o'clock on the 'memorable 13th September the troops" were ready to go ashore in the light boats at a moment's notice, Wolfe, with his one hundred chosen Highlanders, floated down in silence with the ebb tide They .were challenged by the sentry of Samos' Battery, but a Seotchman an- swered in good French, "Shut up, we are bringing provisions to the town." A convoy of provision boats was actually expected to come down the river that night; but they had been captoged by the English fleet. On hearing this answer the sentry went to notify the guard. It was then a few minutes before five o'clock Under the leadership of Captain Don. ald McDonald twenty-four of the Highlanders reached the gummit of the Foulon Cove at the i moment, having first' taken the precaution to wait until the only sentry there had his back turned towards them. The remaining seventy-five men were close whind, climbing the escarpment with the help of roots and branches. Discovering the enemy the French sentry quickly alarmed the post, but the few soldiers there, not knowing the strength of the English, ran in the di- rection of Samos. The red lantern now appeared on the Sutherland and the small boats pushed towards the shore with all haste. Saunders' ves sels moved towards the Beauport camp, causing Montcalm to sound the reveille and prepare to repel the ex- pected attack. © As soon as three hundred of trcops had reached the top of bank, Wolle ordered a detachment one hundred and seventy-five to cap- ture Samos battery, whose fire had opened upon the small hoats landing troops from the fleet. Hearing the connonade at his camp Montcalm knew that Samos was attacked, but he was prevented from sending help, as Saunders began at the same time to shell Beauport. : In a short time news came to Wolie that the guns at Sames bad been spiked, and that the men of that post were in flight towards Sillery and Cap Rouge. Then, about an hour hefore daylight, the troops began the march towards the Plains of Abraham, sitaa- ted nearer to the city. Wolie left one hundred and twenty men to oc cupy the stone house at Samos, with the view of stopping Bougainsille on his way to the Plains, singe it was evident that he would at once take this course on learning of the presence of the British in that neighborhgod. Ahout half-past eight o'clock Wolie had disposed of his small force in battle: array upon the Plains. The French .were then leaving the Bequ- port camp to meet him.

The battle on the Plains was brisk, sharp and murderous, yet the fight lasted but fifteen migntes.

'The fugi- tives, spread over the open plain, were cut down in great numbers by the claymores-of the Highlanders and the bayonets of the English and Irish regiments. The survivors pradually concentrated in the somewhat narrow road east of the city leading towards the French camp. They became a disorderly massy/ushing one another towards the head of the abrupt de scent. The slaughter on the Plains would have been slight in comparison with that of this flock of frightengd men had their pursuit not been sud- denly checked by nine hundred™of the French-Canadians throwing themselves into a bush near the top of the hill, and firing steadily and with remark- able precision upon the British forces, The British charged the bush and the French force went in their™~~tvin down the hill, making a" second stand on a convenient spot, where they the British advance.

Fire At Lombardy. Lombardy, 'June 11.--On Sunday morning last the saw mill, owned by Crate Bros, and a large barn of Thomas O'Mara were completely de stroved by fire. The alarm was sounded about five o'clock, but in a few minutes the mill, where the fire started, was a mass of flames. At one time it looked as though the whole village would be a prey to the devouring elements, but through the efforts of the voluntary fire brig- de, the fire was kept from spreading. There was no insurance on the mill. Loss over $3,000. A large quantity of lumber was burned also a quantity of wool owned hy M. Doocher, and stored in the mill.
