To THE LOYAL WOMEN AND CHILDREN
OF THE UNITED STATEs-The following
circular has been issued from the Surgeon
Generals Office, at Washington 1.-The
supply of lint in the market is nearly ex-
hausted. The brave men wounded in de-
fense Of their country will soon be in want
Of it. | appeal to you to come to our aid
in supplying Us with this necessary arti-
Gle. There is scarcely a woman or child
who cannot scrape lint, and there is no
way in which their assistance can be more
usefully given than in furnishing US the
means to dress the wounds Of those who
fall in defense of their rights aud their
homes"
IN accordance with this request, several
boxes Of lint, bandages, etc, have already
been prepared and forwarded by the ladies
of this place, ard more will be forthcom-
ing soon. Those wishing to contribute
anything in this behalf are requested to
leave their offerings at the Ebcnsburg
Post Office, where they will be duly
packed and forwarded.

On Thursday, and in coming home along
the Somerset road in the afternoon, IN
company with two other boys, in wagon,
they were overtaken by young man
named Soaf, who carries the mail between
Johnstown and Stoystown. After riding
IN company for some time, the boys mean
while having their fun with each other,
Hartzel!, under the impression that it was
empty. pointed his gun at the mail boy,
and playfuly told him if he didn't behave
he would shoot him: The young man,
dis-egardirg the threat, kept OH with his
fun, when Hartzell levelled his gun at
him and pulled the trigger, when 70 his
amazcment it discharged, and Soaf fell
fron his horse. Upon examination, 1t
was discovered that the baIt had taken ef
feet in his face, and THAI he was already
quite dead Hartzell remained with the
body until the Somerset hack came along,
which took up the body aad brought II to
town. Hartzell came along and gave
himself up. He claims that he had dis
tinct recollection Of discharging the gun,
but had 60 recollection Of again loading
it, and Was under the impression that 1t
