Canary Birds-How 70 Tame Them

Mr.. w. Kidd, author Of the Natural His

as follows:

stead OF sending him up stairs, any where, to
get him ont of the way, at once make guest
aud companion of him. Where you are, there
let him be. Talk TO him, whistle to him.
dance to him. There more playful you are,
the more playful and merry will he be. A
week ought TO suffice 10 tame any bird AT
the end OF that time, he should DO able TO

terday while coming here took place at q distance
Of from lS to ~ miles from Frederick.

the Confederate army es the hounds pursue Sox,
and coming up with them where they were in

sheling Of their position, which was very strong II
ID reported that we have captured several of the
enemys batteries Some of our troops gained the
summit of the Mountain while our batteries were
Smelling the Rebel camps, which were situated half
way up. This brought on the engagement Of con-
siderable bodies Of infantry both sides, and as We
had the advantage of the enemy he suffered severely.
The body Of Gen. Reno has just been brought in
from the field; it was accompanied by four officers
of bis staff and small body guard. He was shot in
the stomach by bullet from one Of the enemy's
sharpshooters while he was in the front of and d.
recting our batteries.
There is report here that Is 900 Of Jackon's
forces have been captured. Although l cannot
vouch for the truth Of this statement yet would
be at all surprised if it true. Certain it thAs
Mcclellan is bound to bag Of them if it is with

make better use of their legs now than they ever
did before.
Our loss in the battle Of yesterday Is estimated at
100 in killed and wounded. The enemys loss
cannot state, but certain 1t is much larger than
ours as orr men handled their guns in such glorious

They have possession yet Of q mountain beyond

they will not have 1t long you may be sure.
The roads are very much cut up, and we loose Q
good deal of time in getting at them. One thing yoa
may be sure of-their stay in Maryland is shorter
than they anticipated and almost regret they did
not get into vania that would certainly b
the last of them, as most certainly not man Of them
would ever return.
The firing ceased last evening at o'clock, and has
not been renewed yet.
