OF Board Of Health For June

Adyices received from all sections
OF the county show the past nontn
to have been extremely healthy.
Some malaria,a few cases Of typhoid,
bronchial troubles, slight in charac-
ter and frequently the sequelae OF
measles and whooping cough, make
ND almost the entire report.
The extreme hot weather that
usbered in the first week Of July, and

ment during the present month, l

some few directions that occur to me
at this time for the care and health
of the infant. AS is well known
oastro-intestinal troubles thrive at
this season of the year and 1t takes
all the watchfulness of the mother to
guide the little ones safely through
this dangerous period.
In dress use very light flannel; a
single loose garment is ample. Add
more clothing, however, at any time
Iif it should suddenly become cold.

rapidly. The California tarantula natures

tula reposingi upon Il cardboard properly
mounted is worth in the open market -
cents, but live, active member of the
tribe. freshly caught and inclosed in
box, has a net value to the hunter of two
and a-half cents. u
While we may shrink in terror from
the bite of tarahtuia, armed as we are
with all kinds of antidotes for relief, how
much more terrified must the people IN
past ages have been who knew of no rem
edy, and We're therefore compelled to
dance around in misery until the painful
effect of the poison had ceased.
There is another interesting spider that
finds Il congenial habitat in the barren
California plains. This is the ''trap-door'
spider.
This individual creates dungeon in the
ground covered by a trap-door, most in
geniously and cunningly made, with hasp
and staple. The only way to get him is to
pry up his entire residence with a chisel
or cut it out with knife. His domicile,
however. is as much an object of interest
to the entomologist as himself.
California produces snakes, centipSSes,
scorpions, lizards and horned toads. As
stated before, these. like the Indians, be-
fore the advance OF civilization, are pass
ing away, becoming annually, on account
of their scarcity, more and more objects
of interest; so much so that number OF
people devote their entire time to the bus
ineSs Of hunting them, and find therein
ample remuneration for their time, effort
and expense.

THE FIELD OF DONELSON.
Important Victory Won After suffering and
Fortitude.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
VIM. ]. Hiff, 11th ILL.,, whose regiment lost
- men killed at Fort Donelson. himself
being one of the wounded, says he has
made several trips South since the war.
After having visited the Donelson battle
field and National Cemetery, he was sur
prised to find there were no monuments
erected in honor of those who fell there.
The battle of Fort Donelson was the
first great victory achieved by the Union
army during the civil war. Gen. Grant,
with $4,000 men, attacked and invested
21,OO0 Confederates at this place. They
were commanded by commanders like
Floyd, Pillow, Buckner, and Forrest, and
behind strong intrenchments.
While on the march from Fort Henry,
Feb. Is, the weather was balmy and like
Spring. The inexperienced troops threw
| away extra clothing. including overcoats.
Before 24 hours they were so ely in need
of this clothing, as there had been d. op
i'll the temperature of 30 degrees.
Grant, having posted his army squarely
in front of Floyd's, at tbs tine Cne third
larger than Grants. spent Thursday re-
connOlterlng and pushing forward his line,
which resulted In sharp skirmishes. The
rebels realized their mistake in not at
tacking Grant while on the march from
Fort Henry. They now made vigorous
use of the spade, but with all the entangle-
ments of abatis and outworks they Jailed
to keep our men back. By night Gen.
Grants army had closed well up around
Fort Donelson, with Smith, Wallace, and
McClernand close in touch from left to
right Commodore Foote, with his gun.
boat fleet, bombarded the water battery
and fort on the nights above at close
range, but failed to infict serious damage
except to silence the water battery.
After a short engagement he withdrew
his feet in a damaged condition, having
lost 81 men, himself included among the
wounded.
Grant ordered WiIIard's Battery from
Fort Henry and the strongest company
of the 32d III. to escort 1t. This company
was my company.
This battery reached the battlefield in
the nick of time. The rebels, after having
all the fighting they wanted inside the
works, concluded they would cut their
way out. Here Willard met Taylor re-
treating before heavy masses of the
enemy. Taylor had been fighting until
he could fight no longer without ammuni-
ton. The 5Sth Ohio and my company
were supporting Willard, and 1t was
rough introduction, to be sure, but we
stayed by the guns in the crimson snow.
Some caissOns and wagons were frozen in
the earth. Willard, like Taylor, kept his
guns warm by the faithful management
of his men until the rebels were driven
back into their works.
At daylight Grant received an urgent
request from Commodore Eoote for con-
sultation regarding the disposition Of his
crippled fleet.
The historian Headley says Grant did
not return from this conference until 3
