At 3 ! o'¢loek in the morning (of the 9th) ond of the watch saw a bout creeping up near the Caledomds, which lay in- shore of the Detroit, and ran down to warn Rolette, who, with Ensign Kerr, an officer of the Fencibles, rush. ed on deck to find his vessel had been cut adrift and two boats alongside with geveral naval officers and a hun- dred American seamen, while another | boat came in sight with two officers { and about thirty soldiers of the U.S | army, The Americans demanded the vessel's surrender, which was prompt- ly refused by Rolette, and the U. 8. soldiers immediately opened a brisk wusketry fire, and the seamen, armed with cutlasses and pistols, boarded the Detroit, several going aloft in the rigging to loosen the sails. The Brit. ish wade a desperate resistance. The surprise, however, was so complete that ptt a gun could be brought te bear on the enemy' boats. Two U. B. officers grappled with Rolette, one firing a pistol at him, and the American sea- men, by ovetpowering numbers, drove the crew before them with the bare steel, slaying several and forcing oth ers down the hatchways. At the end of filteen minutes hall of the British were killed and wounded and the rest driven below. The vessel was then taken without further opposition, and drifted slowly down the river In the meantime Captain Irvine of the Caledonia was aroused by the don. fusion on board the Dotrcit.

Her cable was also eat and both vessels were then dirset. ed towards the Smeérican shore. At tliis moment the heavy guns of Port Erie opened a tremendous fire of roond, grape and cupigter shot on the Amdricans, ecusine great confu- sion and loss on the ships. Timbers were splintered, sails torn to shrads, and the rigging shot away; while several guns "of the Royal Artillery were sent to the shore wnd kept up a destructive fire. The Americans brought all the guns on the Detroit to the side next the British snd di rected a vigorews fire for a time, but, owing to the withering storm of shot and shell from the British batteries, she beenme ununanagable and drifted aimlessly with the current Americans were soon compelled to abandon both vésseis, taking all on board off in their boats. The Detroit shortly afterwards grounded on the west side of Squaw Island, a little be- low Black Rock. A party of forty soldiers of the 49th British Regiment put out in a boat and boaresed her, but, finding the anchor gone and the vessel generally disabled, they threw her guns overboard under a smart fire from musketry on the island and srtillery on the enemy's shore, and decided to quit her The Caledonia grounded near Black Rook. Later in the day the Amer. cans landed her cargo, with some loss of life, however, from British cannon balls. Her captain was afterwards promoted for his gallant conduct to a lieutenant in the provincial navy, At daybreak the batteries on both sides of the river again opened fire, and were warmly engaged all day-- The {the fire of the enemy was incessant. {The first shot from the British bat. teries struck Major Cuyler, who was riding on the beach opposite, and went through his body.

MYSTERY OF A DIAMOND RING. | How It Was Discovered In a Most Curious Way. A prominent Toronto firm of silver- smiths and jewellers was recently re- lieved of an atmosphere of Ruspicion that was making the whole institution depressed and unhappy in a most curious way. One day not long ago the discovery was made that a valu- able diamond ring with a stone not extremely large but of the very pur- est quality was missing. Every man in the firm's employ who could have access to the ring has been long with the house, and was up this time thoroughly trusted. The examination of every one revealed the completest ignorance as to when and how the ring had disappeared. Yet the fact remained that it was gone, and everything seemed to indicate that someone in the institution had taken it and:was concealing the fact. There seemed to be nobody in the store who would be foolish enough or ignorant enough to perpetrate a theft so easily discovered except a porter that had been with the firm for years. His honesty had never up till then been doubted, and it was only with the greatest reluctance that the members of the firm decided to wateh him. They were also keeping a watchful eye on the habits of other members of the staff, but everyone in the firm's employ behaved in the most ex- emplary manner. Perhaps the con- sciousness that everyone in 'de in- stitution was severally and generally under suspicion until some solution of the mystery was reached was re- spongible for making every man "mind his p's and q's." The at. mosphere of the shop was certainly not pleasant for anyone to live in. Now everything is happy, however. As in most retail stores in the old sections of the city mouse traps and rat traps are nightly set in the base. ment. The other morning the porter came running up from the cellar in a high state of excitement, and called the whole staff to come and see some- thing curious. In one of the mouse traps was a fat and sleek little mar- auder and round its middle was the missing diamond ring! It was obvious that in scampering through a ease, probably in daylight, the mouse had: stepped on the heavier side of the ring where the stone was set and thes hoop had sprung up over its head.- The animal fad succeeded in working, its way half through it and there the ring had stuck. It had spent some weeks in mouseland wearing this adornment, and fortunately got itself | been possible the members | firm would have gladly spared the | beast's | something better. than | in The | | City Hall the other da caught in the same shop.

A dog wandered into the Toronto ; y. and, like all citizens' with a grievance, found his way to the Press Room. Something was bothering doggie, that was apparent. He was nruzzled that was bother enough in the first place, but there was something élse troubling him. He kept twisting his head about and moving it from side to side. Aparently his muzzle was hurting him, but it appeared to be a goad fit ; After a close examination of the mouse-trap, which revealed no de- fect that could hurt the dog more than pecessary, one of those present re- moved the muzzle, and the cause of the animal's worry was discovered. Just above the dog's nose an icicle had formed, The icicle was removed and the muzzle readjusted.

The meanness | of the act was the more glaring be- cause the burial ground had been | purchased and walled round by the | subscriptions of Nonconlormists.

"Those birds do nat fly by night unless disturbed, and the direction of their flight in- dicates that the enemy is coming this way." The archduke put his division under arms, and reinforced the outposts, which in two hours' tine were "heavily. » Hess, Mr, Kipling, Sign-Writer. 'Mfr.
