Everything along the upper Potomac re-
mains quiet, the high water pre- venting gueril-
las from crossing to this side. Our posts along
the river are, however, frequently alarmed,
and scarcely night passes without suspicious
characters being seen prowling in the vicinity
of the lines. Several Of them have been cap.
tured and are now in the Old Capitol, and are
believed to be guerillas from the Virginia side,
who had been cut off some time since by the
sudden rise in the river. Blockade running
has been almost entirely broken up, so many
having been captured in crossing the Poto-
mac, that very few are now venturous enough
to attempt it.
Rebel cavalry generally cross up about Mud
dy Branch, and follow along the river on this
side down to the vicinity of our forts, where
they make a sudden dash, and escape with
such plunder as they can get. Most of the
visitors from the other side are citizens of
Loudon and Fairfax, who come over into
Maryland chiefly to steal horses and etLer
property, for their own use.

Several have sent us specimens, and others
have sent us descriptions of caterpillars Of
various kinds, which were more or less COW
cred by small white oval bodies, that some of
the writer's recognized as what they really are
the eeeoons of q parasitic insect. 1t is one
of the wise provisions for preventing the un-
due increase of insects, that most of them
have insect enemies. Among the most de-
structiye of these are the Iehneumon flies, a
term applied to large class of four-winged
insects, which deposit their eggs in the larvae
or pupae of other insects. The maggots
Matched from these eggs feed upon the living
animal in which they are enclosed, and by the
time it dies they have attained sufficient
size to undergo their transformation. The
number of parasites that are nourished by
one caterpillar is sometimes astonishing.
A few days ago we took from our tomato
vines the larYa of aSphinx, which was almost
completely covered with the cocoona of an
Ichneumon. From counting portion Of
.A-'---, ~ :. --.i.4sssd The whole number at be.
remarkable that this number Of maggots could
have lived within the caterpillar, attain their
full growth and spin their cocoons, without
killing it. Though still alive, the caterpillar
was evidently much weakened by rearing such
a large unnatural family, and viii probably
in short time die from exhanstion.-

There is probably no greater folly that the
common stock raiser can be guilty Of, than
breeding from animals close akin. The
results are in almost all cases unfortunate, and
tend 20 the degradation of his stock. This is
true of horses and neat cattle especially, of
sheep essentially, of swine in less degree,
but still noticebly :and in the case offowis and
pigeons, the eyilresults aremore quickly seen
than ia any other classes, perhaps. In andin
breeding, where rnostcAsefully conducted, has
produced very favourable results; but this was
under the direction of men who gave their
lives, with severe, assidious study of animals
and their points, their differences of constitu.
ton and temperament, Of form, size, DC; and
who were also possessed of an intuition as to
which animals would cross well. In those
herds, too, where in-and.in breeding has been
successfully practised, it must be remembered
that the relative numbers of males and fe.
males approached much nearer natural
standard than is ever profitable in economic
stock raising. If any one wishes TO see how
quickly he can run down superior Hock or
herd, let him undertake to initiate BakeweIl
on a small seale.-ABs. 4gricultmrfst.
