 428 BULLINGER BULL RUN ets about the size of an ounce bullet, under boards and stones ; it is supposed that they are watched by the parent, from her having been found under the same cover. Many other spe- cies, all small, are described by Mr. Girard as American ; others are found in the colder por- tions of the temperate zone in Europe and Asia, at least six; it is probable that many have been confounded under C. gobio (Linn.). Kivcr Bullhead (Cottus gobio). The family of cottoids appeared on the earth some time during the last period of the cre- taceous epoch, the genus eott-us appearing in the tertiary. There is a cottoid in the Colum- bia river, called the prickly bullhead, for which Mr. Girard has established the genus cottopsis, resembling the marine species in its size, but the fresh-water species in its smooth head ; the body is beset with prickles, there is one preopercular spine on each side, and the teeth of the palatine bones are card-like ; its length is from 9 to 10 inches; it is the 0. asper (Gd.). The name of bullhead is also given to some species of aspidophonu (Lacep.) and hemitripterus (Cuv.), marine genera, extend- ing from the New England coast to the Green- land seas. lil l,l.l(.i:u. Heinrieh, a Swiss theologian, born at Bremgarten, canton of Aargau, July 18,1504, died in Zurich, Sept. 17, 1575. He was the son of a priest, studied at Emmerich and Cologne, became a teacher in the monas- tery of Kappel, and a champion of the doc- trines of Luther and Zwingli. In 1528 he cooperated with the latter in effecting the con- version of the canton of Bern to Protestant- ism. The next year his preaching made con- verts of the community of Bremgarten, of which he became the first Protestant minister; but in 1531 he Was expelled from the canton of Aargau and went to Zurich, where in 1532 he became pastor of the minster church. He displayed great talent, moderation, and consci- entiousness in the controversies with Luther and the conflicts with the Anabaptists, and in settling the ecclesiastical differences between Bern and Geneva. His wife, formerly a nun, bore him 11 children. In 1543 he edited the works of Zwingli, and he left in manuscript Gesehichte der Mdffenossen, lesonders der Ti- guriner (4 vols.) and Beformationsgeschichte, which latter was published by Hottinger and Vogeli (3 vols., Zurich, 1838-'40).

July 21, 1861. In the early summer the confederates, under Gen. Beauregard, about 20,000 strong, were intrenched at Manassas Junction, 7 m. W. of Bull Run, whence they made forays within sight of the national capi- tal. Gen. J. E. Johnston, with 18,000 men, was at Winchester, 50 m. to the N. W., where he was watched by Gen.
