Several without incident. We went through a place called Dumfries and Union Mills, where we encamped for two days, and there met the 2d Vermont brigade, under where we stacked our arms, and were asleep before we hardly touched the ground. "Sometime before noon we were awakened with volleys of shot and shells, which were plowing up the earth all around us. The enemy had masked a battery of 24 guns and opened them all at once. They knocked out Mott's battery, i i An hltv other squads were sent out for the same purpose from other regiments.

The picket line ran along on the crest of the ridge, which protected our line as it lay among the dead bodies. We would crawl up and take a man by the leg and haul him down and load him on to a couple of fence" rails and two men would carry him off to the rear, where our prisoners were burying them. Sometimes we would get "Perfected means built up to the highest, modern ideal. "Improved means only modemness patched onto out-of-dateness. It doesn't take hair-splitting to distinguish between the two.

While the figures for both New York and Chicago are far from complete they indicate that Chicago will lead New York about thie to one. No one seems to know just what use is to be made of the statistics after they are completed. The investigation was authorized by congress after the president had sent in a siecial message suggesting that such statistics should be gathered.

It was assumed then that the information was desired for use in spurring on states to enact more drastic laws regulating marriage and divorce, but now that the call is for federal regulation of with the first round, but they were soon silenced by other batteries. We then moved back through a piece of- timber and out in a clearing where the supply teams were, and we noticed a great panic among the teamsters.

We then started on a forced march for Maryland, fording the Potomac at Edwards Ferry, and arrived at Westminster, where we remained until about July 1. We were ordered to fall in line about 10 o'clock at night, and were on the march until nearly sundown of the next day, when we arrived at Little Round Top at Gettysburg. "We crossed the Tenallytown road and filed to the left of Little Round Top to the base of Round Top, and formed in line of battle in an oftl lane where we expected the final attack would be made. The fighting was terrific, and after it was over 1 received permission from Capt.

The mule started on a run, and every jump it took the side of the negro's face flopped- up and down. We watched the unusual spectacle until he was almost out of sight.

Soon the ball opened at Malvern Hill, and we were ordered to support a battery. During the time we had enough excitement to satisfy the After dark we began a retreat and came out near the James river, where we camped for the night. We marched to Harrison Landing the next day, and before we got our camp in shape we were ordered back and engaged in a sharp skirmish with the advance guard of the enemy. After driving them back we returned to the landing and completed our camp, ending the Peninsular campaign. "On July 20, 1862, we left Harrisons landing and marched to Yorktown.

All the time bullets were flying about us. My squad brought in 39 bodies and over 300 were buried in one trench.

When daylight came there seemed to be as many dead bodies lying around as before we began our work. The enemy had gone and 1 started to look over the field, which was covered with dead for a half a mile. I ran across two that were still alive. It was the bloodiest battlefield I had ever seen. We marched on to Hagerstown and camped on the fair grounds.

Our colonel was military governor of. the town. "After leaving Hagerstown we crossed back to Virginia and had no more engagements until Dec. 13, when we arrived at Fredericksburg, where Gen. Burn-side was in command.

We crossed below the town and advanced in line of battle through an open plain between our artillery and the enemy. The ground was frozen hard and the balls glanced as though they had struck solid rock. Our regiment lost six killed and fiO or 60 wounded. We crossed the Kappahannock under cover of darkness and camped near White Oak church on Falmouth Heights. We were soon ordered to join the brigade, which was then on the march, and after tramping about from place to place in a drenching rainstorm we got orders to return to our first camp in front of r'red-ericksburg.

This was Burnside's campaign when he was stuck in the mud. We had but few adventures until early in May, when we crossed the river on pontoons under a heavy fire and drove the enemy back to the foot of the heights. We then moved up to the south part of the town and lay under cover on the bank of the river. "We had the 20th New Jersey attached to our brigade (nine months' men) at that time, and they were ordered to charge across the plain with our regiment supporting them. Before they reached across they got a shell in their ranks, when they broke and it was every man for himself.

We were ordered in and afterward crossed the open in a zig-zag -way so the enemy couldn get a good ranee on us, and we succeeded in driving the rebels out of their rifle pits and charged the heights. My tentmate, George A. Rice, was wounded just as we gained the top, when they fired their last volley and ran. I ran to the rear for a stretcher and we carried Rice down the mountain, but he died before anything could be done for him. I left him and went out on the Salem pike and caught up with my regiment near Salem church.

Our regiment fell back to Salem Heights and lay in lint of battle all day, watching the enemy forming in front. Our line was formed in a circle, both flanks close to the river, while the enemy formed the same. They moved their whole army on the 6th corps just before dark and succeeded in driving in our skirmish line. Our brigade waa in the front center and the rebels came within 200 yards before we opened fire. We cave them a volley and then continued to load and fire at will.

After some sharp fighting the rebels began to waver and we charged, taking lots of prisoners. My company' loss was five killed and about a dozen wounded. We established a strong rear guard, crossed the river on pontoons, the 2d Vermont covering the retreat. Afyer crossing the bridge we raised the anchors and swung (Wbitino Entirely i Sight) is a "perfected" typewriter.

The census bureau is making slow progress with its work of gathering statistics on marriage and divorce. When the task: was undertaken it was the expectation of Director North to have the complete returns ready for public consumption by this time, out many obstacles have been encountered and it will probably be the first of next January before the work is completed. The bureau has had about 150 agents in the field since the first of last July going through court records in the larger cities. The examination of these records has turned out to be a much larger task than the bureau anticipated it would be, owing to the fact that in many cities the court records are not kept in good condition.

However, the examinations assigned to these sjiecial agents sent out by the bureau have almost been completed, and within a short time it may be possible to issue a bulletin giving the complete statistics for some of the cities. As the gathering of complete statistics necessitates the examination of the court records in every county in the United States, the bureau plans to makf use of county clerks in counties that did not contain cities of any considerable size. Under this plan it was necessary to get over 2600 clerks of counties interested in the work. In many sections of the country the county clerks have ignored the invitation from the bureau to examine the records, and so far only about 400 county clerks are engaged in gathering statistics, It is hoped soon to be able to increase this number to 1000 or more and as soon as the special agents are relieved from their work in the cities they will be sent to cover such counties as have not been provided for. After all it is the statistics from the cities that will be of greatest interest for it i well known that divorce prevails to a larger extent in the cities than in country districts.

When completed the statistics will show the number of mar riages and divorces for the 20-year period from '1887 to 1907. Between the yean where our men ana rew -up in the dark.
