Tho 18th n. u.


This regiment was organized at Wood
bury, n. j., Sept. 4, 1862, to serve three
years. IT was mustered out of service July
IL, 1865. Col. Robert G.. Johnson was dis
charged Feb. 81, 1863; Col. John Fl. Willetts
was discharged Dec. 10, 1864, and when
mustered out the regiment was commanded
by Col. John William, Brevet Brigadier-
General. The War Department credits the
regiment with the following battles Chan
ceilorsvllle, Gettysburg, Brstow Station
Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylyania, North
Anna, Tolopotomoy, Cold Harbor. Peters
burg, Strawberry Plains, Deep Bottom,
Reamss Station, and Boydton Road At
Charlottesville it was in Hayes's Brigade,
French's Division, Second Corps Its loss
in that battle was "a killed, 1872 wounded,
and % missing. At Gettysburg the regi-
meDt distinguished itself by a charge Of
four companies, capturing the Bliss barn,
which was situated between the Union and
rebel lines, and occupied by the latter's
sharpshooters. Col. Fox states that the
Jerseymen captured seven rebel officers and
81 men in this gallant charge, and gives the
loss OF the 18th n. j. in the battle of Gettys-
burg as % killed, 90 wounded, and three
missing, most of which loss was sustained
by the assault upon the Bliss barn. Later
the regiment became part Of Carroll's Bril-
gade, Gibson's Division. In the battles of
the Wilderness and Spottsylvania the regi-
ment was commanded by Lieut-Col Thos.
ii. Davis, who was killed in the latter
action May 10, 1864. 1t is stated that when
the 18th N. j. crossed the Rapidan it num-
bered 42o men, and that its loss in the two
aforementioned bnttles was III killed and
wounded, or over 40 per cent. of its original
he Al III -
ment was 1S48. It's loss was nine officers
and l6S men killed in action or died of
wounds and 90 men died of disease, in
prison, etc. 1t is one of the 300 fighting
regiments given by Col. Fox, and well
earned that distinction in many hard fought
battles.

The regiment WAS Organized at Elmira, N.
T., In December, 1861, for the three years
service, and veteranizing on the expiration
OF Its term, il remained in service until June
q, 1868. when it was mustered out, with
Lieut.-Col. viii w. Clarke in command.
Col. Uriah L. Davis, who first commanded
the regiment, resigned Feb. ii. 1862. Jona-
than ,. Belknap was the next Colonel but

delio was brevetted Brigadier-G General March
IL, 1865. May Is, 1865, he was discharged
from the service on account of expiration of

mand. The regiment served in Caseys Di-
vision, Fourth Corps. Its total loss was one
officer and "a men killed or died of wounds
received in action, and two officers and 324
men died from other causes. The unusually
heavy loss of the regiment was caused by
confinement In rebel prisons, 222 of the men

How Dipbtheria Snreads.

The city water supply has nothing to
do with the causation or spread of diph.
liberia, except, possibly, as a contami-
mated water affects the general health of
the individual and so lowers the resist
ing power of the system. The increase
of disease every fall is due largely to
Catching cold," to vitiated air in
dwellings, caused by closing doors and
windows that have been kept open all
summer, and to similar causes that tend
to produce a sensitive condition of the
throat, favorable to the growth of the
diphtheria germ. There should be added
to these causes the diminishing hours of
sunlight as the year wanes. The direct
rays of the sun kill the diphtheria germ,
but moisture and darkness favor its
growth and multiplication. Good house
wives, who open windows and shades to
the free access of sun and air, are prac-
tical sanitarians, fighting contagion and
infection with the best and most potent
of all disinfectants. That cats, poultry,

beyond question. The rules of the Illi-
nois state board of health for the sup

have recognized this fact for years, and
direct the removal of birds and other
domestic pets and the exclusion of cats
from the sickroom. The precaution is a
wise one, based upon observed facts. -

The Armenian Church,

Tho great patron saint of the Arme-
nian Christians is ST. Gregory, surnam-
ed the illumination, who baptized
King Tividates in 302 A. d. His most
illustrious successors were SITS. Nerses,
Sahali and Mesrop, the last named of
whom invented the Armenian alphabet
and translated the Bible into Armenian.
After the general council of Chalcedon
in the year 451 the Armenian church
adopted the monophysite heresy, which
holds that Christ has only one nature.
1t returned to the communion of the
Catholic church in 626 But at the ID
ginning of the eighth century it fell in
to heresy again. 1t became orthodox in
1430, but soon reverted to heresy and
has ever since been regarded as schis
matte by the Catholic church. 1t is note
worthy, however, that the house of
bishops of the last Episcopal general con-

The gates and gate valves of the great
lock in the new Canadian canal at Sault
Ste. Marie, connecting Lakes Superior and
Huron, are operated by electric power.
The lock is built of masonry, is 900 feet
long, 60 feet wide and has depth of wa
ter of over 90 feet. Electric apparatus is
used, and the power generators and light
ing dynamos are driven by turbines. The
reasons which led to the adoption of cleo
trio power on the Canadian lock are stated
by ]. B. Spence, chief craftsman of the
department of railways and canals, in The
Canadian Electric News as follows:
"As regards economy, think the differ
ence between electric and hydraulic power
will be very trifling, and here the point of
economy was not taken into consideration.
One of the main objects of using electricity
was to overcome the great trouble caused
by frost when hydraulic machinery is
used. During the closing weeks Of navi-
cation the cold is SO great that oil has to
be used in the hydraulic engines placed on
the lock walls, and even then the cold
causes the oil to thicken and makes the
action of the engines slow and tedious. or
course frost would not have interfered with
hydraulic valve engines placed at the bot
tom of the lock, but in this case eight en-
gines would have been required, while
only four screw power engines are needed

As full Of light as goldenrod;
Love in her voice, love in her nod,
She treals SO softly no one knows
The time she comes, the time she goes,

Their gold and crimson dyes to win,
Each cricket sings as loud as ten
To drown the noisy locust, when
You come, o maid! to bid us cry
To summer sweet long goodby.
And when you 60 the leaves are gone;
The aster's farewell scent is flown;
Poor Cupid puts away his wings,
And close to cozy corners clings
The rude winds usher, with a shout,
The winter in, the autumn out.

Though loly her gown with tawny dyes;
Loves in her voice-but telling most

She treads so softly no one knows
