the mettle of the volunteers severely. Yes
tcrday morning the camp presented a curious
appearance. Scores of blankets were hung
out to dry, while their owners gathered in
circles about fires built of logs and boards
making themselves as comfortable and cheer
full as circumstances would adnait. Other
parties were employed in draining pools Of
water which had collected in low places
and still others in cleaning up or making
more comfortable, in various ingenious ways,
their sleeping quarters. Many young men,
mindful, amid all this hustle of those they
left behind at home, were occupied with let
ter writing. The positions which some of
these assumed while brsily welding pencil,
would have caused a shudder to the
artists Of the spencerian System" -
One lay fat upon the ground, face down !;
another sat Ia zo4Gps with his legs eurled
under him; another sat upon fence and
made the top of post serve the purpose Of
of writing desk. All, however, seemed
cheerful and inclined to make light Of their
positions. --t-.,tlf

men of Ohio, is the following: NJ. o. L.

SICKNESS AT CAMP TAYLOR.
Quite number ofcases of dysentery were
reported on Saturday at Camp Taylor, Oc-
casiOned by over exertion in military exer-
csses aud irregularity in diet. The cases
We saw were not alarming, but it behOoVes
the soldier to be cautious in regard to his
health, not overtaxing himself, taking
proper rest and keeping his feet dry, and
above all thisgs, if possible, avoiding a draft
of air when heated. This disease is always
Dr. >vslent in camps, especially among vol
I,ntAs, ~.and every soldier should be provided
with som simple yet effective medicine to
sllay it.
