4 MUSICAL HogsE.-When I was
boy, my father owned sorrel mare,
which was called lib. She was ord:-
narily sluggish, but possessed good
speed and great power, She never
frightened At anything, and aside from
her laziness, was a good beast, except
on particular occasions, when she,
without any apparent cause, would
refuse 70 60. For long time she
was subject to the usual treatment Of
baiky animals, severe whipping, poun-
ding, ioriuring, &c. But my father
and the hired man gave il up as a
bad course, and she was released from
this llarrassment. A close o5seya-

FEVER AND DYsEErERr.-Thc
sudden and extreme changes which
occur in the weather during tho
Autumn will undoubtedly prove
the cause Of numerous cases Of fever
and dysontory among our people
Many persons suppose that these dis
eases are generally oecasioned by eat-
ing the vegetables and fruits Of the
season, That they are so, in many
instances, is probably true, bat per-
haps more frequently by sudden cheek
.oi Precipitation, or exposure to the
night air, Great care Is, therefore,
necessary not to expose the body to
fresh currents OF air when il is moist
with perspirstion, or latiguel, or when
sleeping, Plenty Of ar in the sleep
ng-room Is favorable to health, even
though It be night air,--but ii should
not blow directly upon the person,
At this season Of the year one must
be especially careful to keep a gcner-
al and equal warmth Of tho body, eat
sparingly Of fruits and vegetables, and
make the fruit as much as possible
d part Of the meal, and change the
clothing as the temperature Of the
weather changes, Al most, take but
a light supper. sodentary persons
would be better without any--haying
had two hearty meals. AT the first
symptoms Of sickness, stop eating and
drinking, and labor, as far us possible
then put on pair Of easy slippers
and clean clothing, and resolve to do

This is certainly the programme. VIII
the people see it performed ?
Fellow-ci citizens, all you who who love
your country, by whatever name you have
been known in the past, let us frown down
all such miserably selfish plots of partl-
sans as this which we have been review
ing, and, casting aside all old party ties,
unite together on the broad platform of
the Union. Away with partisan watch
words and names at an hour when the
nation is struggling for life. Our dear
mother country is in peril, let US fly to
her rescue. Let all be true Union men,
true democrats, true republicans, not in a
partizan, but national sense. We close
this article with quotation from the last
letter written by the bold, patriotic, and
lamented Douglas Let it be traced In
letters of gold over every door in the land :
"I know of no mode in which loyal
citizen may so we'll demonstrate his devo-
tion to his country as by sustaining the
flag, the Constitution, and the Union,

itics, againSt all aSsailants at home ana

THE CALL TO ARMS.

Young men an old there is more work
for you. The Six Hundred Thousand
Volunteers already in the field are found
insufficient for the work of crushing the
rebellion; more men are needed and are
now called for. Below will be found the
request of the Governors of the loyal
States asking the President to call out
more troops, and the reply of the Presi-
dent. Disease and battle have lncapaci-
tated many for the severe duties of camp
life. The army does not number at the
present time more than three hundred
thousand effective men. Our people have
heretofore responded nobly to the call of
the country; what will they do nowf tits
true that We have given many, large
proportion; still the end is not obtained.
Some of the blood of our county has made
sacred southern battle-felds; sickness,
imprisonment, and suffering, are but the
events of yesterday. This must not deter
any from offering their services. War is
no child's play +; neither is the salvation
of our country child's reward. Arouse
| ye, for theebattle. A few more vigorous
blows and years of peace and plenty will
surely crown your efforts. Hesitancy
and weakness now may bring untold
suffering upon US. Who will raise another
Potter county company? If a company
cannot be raised, at least fill up to the full
standard the companies already in the
field and which have been depleted by
sickness, Imprisonment and death.

A LAW AT LAsT.-On the 18th ult.,
the House passed the Senate's substitute
for its own bill to secure freedom to all
persons in the Territories of the United
States. The bill, as it is law, was orig
inally drawn up by Mr.. Arnold, of ILL.,,
and is IN the language of the ordinance
of 1877. The bill has been approved by
the President.
"That from and after the passage of this
act there shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude in any of the Terri
tories of the United States now existing,
or which may at any time hereafter be
formed or acquired by the United States,
otherwise than in punishment of crimes
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted"

The Call for 500, ,Ooo More Men

The following correspondence between
the President and the Governors of the
several States will explain itself:
TO THE PRESIDENT: The under
signed, Governors of the States of the
Union, impressed with the belief that the
citizens of the States which they respec-
lively represent are of one accord in the
hearty desire that the recent successes of
the Federal arms may be followed up by
measures which must insure the speedy
restoration of the Union, and believing
that in view of the important military
movements now In progress, and the re-
duced condition of our effective force in
the field, resulting from the unusual and
unavoidable casualties of the service, that
the time has arrived for prompt and
vigorous measures to be adopted by the
people in support of the great interests
committed TO your charge, we respect
fully request, fit meets with your entire
approval that you at once call upon the
several States for such number of men as
may be required to fill up all military
organizations now in the field, and add
to the arms heretofore organized such
additional number of men as may in your
Judgment be necessary to garrison and
hold all of the numerous cities and mill
tary positions that have been captured
by our armies, and to speedily crush the
Rebellion that still exists in several of
the Southern States, thus practically
restoring to the civilized world our great
and good Government. All believe that
the decisive moment is near at band, and
to that end the people of the United
States are desirous to aid promptly in
furnishing all re-enforcements that You
may deem needful to sustain our Gov
ernment.

wisdom of the views expressed to me in
so patriotic manner by you in the com.

have decided to call into the service an
additional force of three hundred thousand
