Hares in a Battle.
A singular iucldent of tbe battle
Wagram, between tb« French and the
Austrians, is related liy Capt. Blase of
the French Imperial guard. Hi aaya
that ' besides being a great conteat of
arms, the day was a great hare-hunt
There were 400,000 hunters, half Ana-
trians and half French.
. The plain was simply covered with
bares, which the long advance of the
two ¿rm es bod gathered into the nar-
irow space. Every ten steps we start-
ed up one of these animals. Frightened
by our guns, they ran for their lives,
and continued to run uut 1 they reached
the Austrians lines. There they Were
none tho less terrified, and came rush
tog baok upon us. — .. -
The soldiers were greatly amused by
jjhe frantlo movements of the haroe,
had could hardly be restrained from
making after them.
Finally there was a great Austrian
eavalry charge, which, of course, took
no account of the bares. The horses
plunged in among them, and they
rushed in dismay amon£ the ranks of
tba French soldiers, who. confused by.,
so sttange ah attack, bogan bayoneting

diately pressed by the onset of
