Joe Wheeler and a force of from 6,000 to 8,000 men, with nine pieces of artillery. The union troops made a successful de fense against, this force, and thus saved the post from capture and the gTeat railroad bridge from de struction, says the Detroit Free Press. . During the attack seven of Brooks men, -by hard fighting, held McMil lan's ford, on the Holston river, for 3x hours against a brigade of confed erate cavalry, killing 40 or 50 of them; but were finally surrounded and cap- 1 .: "WE HAD ONLY SEVEN MEN." tured. The following report is made of this incident: Eight men were sent to guard Mc Millan's ford, on the Holston. One of them went off on his own hook, so that seven were left. One of them was a large, powerful fellow, the farrier of company Br by name Alexander H. Griggs. The seven men actually kept a confederate brigade from crossing that ford for 3 hours 'by desperate fighting, killing 40 or 50.

Daring the light the -big farrier ' was badljr wounded in the shoulder. Gen. Wheeler was much astonished at the valor of tese men. and at once paroled a man to vare for the wound ed, man. A roichvng the latter, the following dialogue is said to have taken plaeet ; - ' ' -'' v Gen Wheeler Well, my man, how many men had you at th ford? Griggs Seven, air. Wheeler My poor fellow, don't you know you are badly wounded? You might as well tell me tb truth. You may not live, long. . . . .; Origga. (iadignantly) I am telling the truth, sir. We had only sevrr men. Wheeler (laughing) well, wnat aia you expect to do? r- Griggs To keep you from crossing, Wheeler Well, why didn& you do it? Gxiggs Why, you see, we did until you hit me, and that weakened our forces so much that you were too much for u. Gen. Wheeler was greatly amused, and inquired of another prisoner (who happened to be a horse farrier, too) : "Are all the Tenth Michigan like you fellows?" "Oh, no!" said the man, "we are the poorest of the lot. Wo are mostly horse farriers and blacksmiths, arid not much accustomed to fighting." "Well," said Wheeler, "if I had 300 such men as you I could march straight through , . and the couldn't stop me. Gen. Wheeler, after the war, met Capt., afterward Col. Brooks, one day, and on being told his regiment said: "The regiment out of . Whenever I met them they licked out of me." Fine Combination for Pig-. Dairymen who keep swine, and they always should unless all the milk is sold, should mix grain of some kind with the skim milk or whey that goes to the pigs. Corn meal and skim milk mixed in proper proportions cannot be ex celled as pig feed. It is improvident for a dairyman; to grow hogs on. the wastes from the dairy without any grain, yet the only way to prove this to some men would be by the use of the scales, in tests with mixed rations.
