rode at their head, who provsi to be Capt.
John Lonergan. He informed us that he
had no special command. but occupied q volA
unteer position on Gen. o'Neiifs staff; that
they bad heen repulsed in their advance, and
that the situation was what we could see
that he did not doubt they could clear ont
the force opposed to them if they should try;
and that some we're for doing So: bot that
without larger force il was in bis opinion
folly to push into Canada, and Of course OF no
use to waste lives in forcing an outpost (: that
Gen. Donnelly was in command since the ar
rest of O'Neill, but that il was difficult ~

from him, as he was down the Hill near the

non-appearance of his men, not one tenth uf
whom that were expected had arrived, and
halt OF those came twelve hours late !; by the
dissensions among the officers. and hy ths

The answer to thequestion how much to eat
depends so largely on the circumstances of
age. sex, season, latitude and employment,
that it would be impracticablc to name any
amornt as applicable to the majority of any
class Of persons. In fact, it is one of those
questions which each men should aim to an
swer for himself. that answer being founded
on his own close observation and snnnd iuGgs
ment. The following rules, however. will
perhnns meet oil cases ms to general habits:
/. Eat at regular specified times, aud at no
other.
2. Hard workers, especially those who are
most Of the time in the open air should eat ns
much sis they want at breakfast and dinner
8. Those who are in doors most of the time
as women, literary men and students. should
never eat as much as they want. This would
he a safe rule for all sick persons also-
