they would retain their youth vigor beauty, easti
city of body, and buoyancy Of spirits TO an adyan-
ced age instead Of being afflicted, as hundreds and
thousands are, into whose hands this book has not

it is that we behold so many married females sick
ly debiliated and prostrated9 as also the causand
whether they are susceptible OF remedy. They
will here find those important matters, connected
with discoveries in medical aud physiological sci
encc, which meet this question.
This work is destined to be in the hands Of oy-
cry wife and mother who has a regard for her own
health and welfare, as well as that of her husband

this number however, mus. be added the new reg
iments of volunteers called out in November, 1916
amounting to 4,537 Ofthese, not more than 4,
900 can probably be reckoned as effective, The
whole actual effective force, therefore, under the

The same statement exhibits also, so far as Is
known, the distribution of these troops (excln'lve
of new regiments)alo the line of the RIO Grande
from the Brazos 10 Camargo, and thence along the
line cooperation to Monterey and Aqua Nueva.-
From this part Of the statement It appears that
there are at the posts on the Rio Grande, includ-
ing Brazos Island, Point Isabel, Fort Brown, Mat
amoros, Camargo and Mier, total of 1,434
troops. OF these, 543 are at Camargo; sos are at
Matamoros and fort Brown on tho other side of
river. But the new regiments must have already
reinforced some if not all of these posts; and the
number of troops now at Carmargo is probably not
less than 1900. The garrison at Monterey num-
bers 1927 troops, with forty pieces of artillery
Between the posts on the Rio Grande and Monte
rey, at Torede, Punta Aguada, Cerralvo and Ma.
rim, there are about 700 troops; and the remainder
of the force, as above stated is supposed to be at
Aqua Nueva, (the head quarters Of Gen, Taylor,
when last heard from oAcially,) at Salillo, and at
the Pass oflhe Riconada.

Mr.. EDIToR:-You are doubtless a.
ware of the existence in our village, of a
debating society, or Lyceum. With your
leave, | propose to speak few words in
behalf Of the enterprising young men who
compose this society, | am one of those
who believe in encouraging such young
men as are striving to improve and qualify
themselves for life Of usefulness to COM
,nunity, and of honor TO themselves. This
Society, when first formed, was not in a
thriving condition; but it has gradually
increased in numbers, until it has becom e
a very respectable and praiseworthy ins,i-
tuition. The meetings of the Society have
heretofore been held in the Brick School
House, but the increasing auditors rem
der it impossible to hold meetings in SO
small an apartment. And to accommo-
date the numerous citizens who are de-
sirous of attending, l hear they have at
tempted to procure the Town Hall, for
the purpose Of holding the meetings Of the
Society; but such course was thought
inexpedient by those having charge of the
same. In view of this, would ask in the
name of citizen Of Woodstock in the
name Of literature and native talent, why
should they not be admitted to the
occupancy of that room? Why have they
not right in 1t? the answer is "Jecause
they are boys So was Lord Brougham a
boy and belonged tojust such Lyceum
as lhis-so was Henry Clay. and the first
time that this great statesman and orator
spake to an audience, was in just such a
Lyceum as this-and the first time the
self-made Franklin spoke in public was in
just such a Lyceum as asks for admt,ance
into this public room. 1t is duty that
the present generation owe to the rising
one, to aid them in the requirement OF
useful knowledge, and the full develop
ment of natural abilities.
In view of these facts, Mr. Editor, |
would ask, through your columns, that
these young men may be admitted to hold
their meetings in this Hail." which was
built "lOr The public good"
