IT was seen that the Confederates de-

Longstreet's Corps held Lees right

Ewell's Corps on the extreme left. Lee
personally saw to the placing of the
troops along this line. and to the con-
struction of the Notifications to
strengthen it. Gen. Alexander says that
he never saw Lee before or afterwards

an attack. since his ammunition was
nearly exhausted.
Meade Holds a Council Of War.
While Lee was in this state of mind
Gen. Meade sent the following dispatch
to Washington:
'The line of this army was advanced
cautiously this morning In the direc-
tion stated in yesterdays dispatch, and
at this time its right rests on the road
from Smoketown to F'unkstown, about
two miles from the latter, the line

airy force Is pushing out on the left, on
the Boonsboro and Williamsport road
and on the right toward Hagerstown
from Chewsville and Leitersburg. The
cavalry on the Chewsville road ad-
vanced without opposition to within a
short distance, about one and one-half
miles, of Hagerstown. The cavalry in
the direction of Leitersburg and that
advancing toward Williamsport have
not yet been heard from. Everything
indicates that the enemy is massing
between Hagerstown and Williamsport.
and from various sources it is stated
that they are intrenching. From the
representations of Gen. Spinola that
the nine-months men of his command
could not be relied upon, as their time
had nearly expired, and my own ex-
perience of troops under such circum-
stances, l have directed the regiments
of his brigade to be posted in the rear.
Troops of this character can be of little
service unless they are pledged to serve
beyond their terms of enlistment, and
the supplies they consume and the
space they occupy on the lines of COM
munication can be lilly spared; besides,
their presence may have an injurious
effect upon other troops. do not.

Big Peach Crop

The biggest peach crop OF the last
ten years is expected by those interest
ed, in Maryland and Delaware or
chards. Unless something unforeseen
occurs the cron will be the largest
since the yellows and the San Jose
scale created so much havoc on the
Peninsula.
Canned goods men and others inter
ested are waiting impatiently for the
figures compiled annually by the rail-
roads. Each year the railroads send
men through the peach sections Of
Maryland and Delaware to approx
mate the quantity OF peaches expected,
SO that provision for handling them
can be made. While il is about the
time for these figures to appear, they
have not yet been made public. II Is

The infectious diseases combined. Dur
ing the War Of the Rebellion, in round
numbers. there were 100000 fatalities.
OF the 100000 fatalities, 100000 died
from disease, and only 100000 from
bullets and wounds Intestinal affec-
tons were the cause OF more than one
fourth 81 the total deaths from dis
ease
Statistics show that one-third OF all
children born die before reaching the
age OF three months, and hree-fourths
of all deaths in the first year occur
during the first six months. This
frightful mortality is largely due to
improper methods OF infant feeding.
Pediatrists and dietetists are agreed
that mothers milk is the best food for
an infant. Unfortunately, in many in
stances. artificial feeding must be re-
sorted TO. In such cases cows milk,
the usual substitute for mothers milk,
should be preferably taken from a
mixed herd and properly diluted and
pasteurized before using. This very
materially minimizes the danger.
In adults the most potent factors in
the causation of intestinal diseases are:
