~ "so u"si"k sHO S"sAs ~"yo w
the army of the Potornac-if ]
mistake not, shortly after McClel-
Ian settled down to the scige of
Yorktown-and before that army
had received that baptism Of fire
and blood, and had gained that
terrible discipline in the soldiers
duty which the campaigns Of the
next three years brought it, that
one Of his infantry regiments
openly mutinied. Of course, the
regiment had tho grievance; even
the worst of soldiers (and these
were by no means sucl) never
undertake to revolt against disci
pline and to DEFY orders without
cause of complaint. The rcgi-
mcnt in question, although less
than six months under arms and
never yet uuder fire, hal pcrftrm
cd difficult and ardnous service.
Both before Yorktown and else
where, these men had patiently
ard faithfully perfo' med their
part; they had marched through
long nights over muddy roads
while sleep overlook them in the
ranks while they YEARLY plodded
TN; they had bivcuacked on the
cold ground, shelterless and with
out fire; and they had nnmnrmur.
inely laid aside the maskets and
toilcd in the trenches under the
soaking rains. Yet all this time
they had not received . cent OF
pay, and clothing was scantily
and tardily furnished them.
Why it was, ! never exactly
learned; 5nt those who wcrc in the
volunteer service can readily un-
deretand how careless and incom.
pctent officers may cause such in
Justice as this to brave and de-
serving men. For months they
had submitted to this cruel neg
lect, while the other regiments
Of the brigade had been paid aud
clad with comparative promptncss
the representations they had from
time to time forwarded to their
regimcntal commander had pro-
duced no results. At first loud
aud bitter complaints were heard
from Them; then, % time passed
and their condition was not bet
tered, a silence succeeded that the
officors should have seen was om-
inous Of q desperate purpose. The
purpose was reached without the
knowledge Of an officer or an or
derly sergeant; excepting these,
Il had had tho assent Of every
man present with tho regiment.
Mniiny was their determination;
and the ring leaders wanted few
days for an occasion to make their
action perfectly effectual.
The occasion ca,re; just tho one
that had been anticipated and de.
sired. The regiment was not at
the timo on duty In the trenches;
it's labors had entitled it to a rest
and It had been drawn back to
au opcn spot some Distance from
the line Of the brigade. Ii lay In

DE-. AYER's successful method
of keeping winter pears ont Of
doors during winter, as detailed
by Dir. Batcnam, at the GAINESVILLE
meeting of the Ohio horticultural
Society, is simply to gather the
fruit when mature or before sharp
flrosts and lay it in piles Of one or
two bushels each, not over six
inches in cpth, upon smooth grass
near the house, and under the
shelter or a tree, an evergreen
preferred; then cover with forest
leaves, five or six inches thick,
and throw some sticks or brush
on top, to prevent tho leaves from
blowing away and to keep small
animals off. Leave it thus till hard
freezing weather sets in;then take
off the brush or sticks and cover
the fruit and leaves with old cof-
fee sacks or carpets the better to
exclude light and air. but not to
exclude wet nor frost, indeed, the
more freezing the better. AZ the
fruit is wanted for use bring some
into the house, and If frozen let it
thaw in a dark cellar, kept closely
covered up, aud then keep few
DAYS in a warm room till mellow.

lie looked the threat, as well as
uttered il; aud then In q voico of
thunder, he gave tire command :
"Take ar,ns!" h
1t was done on the instant.
Mover did the regiment sxecnte
tho order in better time; the stacks
we're broken, and the mutineers
fairly frightened ont Of their folly,
stood with shouldered arms.
The whole command was brought
to MI order, and the general speak
ing with difficulty from the emo
tions Of the moment, addressed
the regiment with such kindness
rs brought tears to the eyes Of
many tall soldier. He briefly
pointed out to them the magnitude
Of their act as aIn'ilitary offense, and
made them understand that mu
tiny in an army can never result
in anything but discredit, or worse,
to those who undertake it, and he
reminded them that the cause IN
which all we're engaged was most
injnred by such acts Of insubordi-
nation: Their canse of complaint
was just, he said, and If their off.
cers were in fault, they should
be punished for it. Full justice
shall be done You and speedily" !"
he said, "but in future never let
me hear from you in this way.
There are other and better ways
to correct evils in the ranks than
this"
lie left the ground with the res.
pect and affection Of every man
there; but his interview with the
officers, which Immediately fol-
lowed, was Of different charac-
ter. Addressing himself to all,
but more particularly to the colo
mel, he gave them an excoriating
lecture upon their carelessness
and gross neglect of their men.
IL should be glad to Think" he
concluded "that none of you are
troubled with incompetency as
we'll as carelcssness. You are all
of you to blame in this matter;
nothing of this kind ever happens
unless the officers are in fault.
And I want you to understand
that if anything Of this sort ever
occurs here again I'll court mar
tial every one of you." III
He never had occasion to exc
cute the threat. The regiment
was paid mp and clothed within a
week, ard from this time forward
every man and officer Of it made
his particular duty to efface the
stigma called upon the regiment
by this affair. That they succoed
ed, the records Of tho arduous
campaigns and bloody battles in
which It bore heroic part, and
which are written in the historyPf
the country, will attest.

11e influence Of any given class Of causes in producing

ars.ances to show how directly fatal the poisonous

Ioa report made BY the general board of health3
concerning certain Improvements in London, it is stat
ell taat IN Lambeth Square, occupied by a superior

duced to I3 IN 1000.
The reduction Of the mortality was effected precisely among
The same occupants without any change in their habits what
Sewers are less important than the hou8e-drains and water
closets, and, ifnot carrying much water, may become cess pools.
IN the case of the square just referred to, when cess pools and
drains Of deposit were removed without any alteration whatever
IN the adjacent sewers, tovers disappeared from house to house
as these reoeptaces were filled up, ard the water-olosot appara.
JUS substituted, merely in consequence of the removal of the
decompoSing matter from beneath the houses to a distant sewer
Of deposit or open water-course.
1t the mortality were at the same rate as in the model dwell
iDgs, or in the improved dwellings, in Lambeth Square, the
annual deaths for the whole of the metropolis would be q. 900
less, and for the whole of England and Wales 10000 less than
the actual deaths.
If the reduced rate of mortality in these dwellings, should
eontnue-and there appears to be no reason to suppose that it
will Uot-the extension to all towns which have been affected,
OF the improvements which have been applied in these buildings,
would raise the average age at death to about forty-eight, in
stead OF twenty-nine, the present average age at death of the
inhabitants of towns in all England and Wales.
