WIFE DrsArPoINTED.-A volunteer Of the
Second Ohio Brigade, who has been giant
ed a few days furloHsh prior to leaving for
active service, returned to Camp Dennison
on Thursday with his trigger finger wrap
ped up in bandaee He replied to the
curious questions of his comrades concern
ing it that his wife bitterly opposed bis de-
sire to enlist for three years, and during
his visit home she took chisel and NAL
let, and while he was asleep, chopped os
the end of his finger, under the supposi-
ton that such mutilation would cause his
rejection by the mastering officer. Great
was her vexation when her obstinate ltus-
band informed her that as he was drum
mer it could not affect him. The soldier
insists upon going, and his " better half is
supposed to be disconsoiate. We know
this to bs true says the Cincinnati Cem-
