that while strong distilled spirit does not produce

because Of The ditirrence Of diet, is less common
in hot than in temperate clmates, aud its attack

CORRECTING ENROLMENT LIsTs.-A
meeting is called for this evening. at
Templar Hall, to adopt means for
thorough overhauling and correction of
the enrolment list for this township
The matter is one of great Importance,
and the people of every township in the
county should without delay take similar
action. Another draft comes off in Feb
ruary-the ratio of the several sub-dis-
tricts is made up on the basis of the en-
rollment list-and the larger the number
of persons enrolled, the greater the num-
Der of men to be furnished in making up
the quota. A large list of properly en-
rolled men is an advantage to a locality,
as the larger the list to be drawn from,
the greater the chance for escape-but it
is necessary in order to attain this result
that none other than those liable to do
military duty and who will make accepta-
bic recruits should be permitted to re-
main on the lists, nor should any such be
omitted in making them up. 1t is equal
ly important that all who from any cause
are not liable to draft or who are clearly
disqualified for. serving by reason of
physical defects, should be stricken off
All such, if permitted to remain enrolled,
increase the number of men assigned to
the locality in which they reside, and if
drafted are discharged, and the deficiency
made up by supplemental draft from
those who are liable and physically sound.
See to it that no one whose name should
l., / I Il
remains that should not be there-and re-
member that to be effective immediate
action is necessary. No changes can be
made after the corrected lists have been
sent to the Office of the Provost Mar
shaI.
To the present list should be added:
LIST. The names of all men subject to
draft who have taken up their residence
in the sub-distriet since the last enroll
ment.
I'd. The names of those who have ar
rived at the age of twenty years, since the
last enrolment.
From the list should be stricken the
names Of all persons improperly enrolled
on account Of
1st Alienage.
I'd Non-residence.
Sd. Over age.
4th. Permanent physical disability of
such degree as to entitle them to ex-
emption under the laws and regulations
governing the examination of drafted
men. (This class of men must appear in
person before the Board of Enrolment
for examination and exemption.)
9Th Having served two years in the
army or navy during the present war.
9th. Having enlisted in the army or
navy since the last enrolment.
7th Having died since last enrolment,

A meeting in behalf of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University was held in the lecture
room of Trinity NJ E. Church, Cincin-
natl, on the 10Th inst. Bishops Clark
and Ames, President Merrick and Rev.
DR.. Reid addressed the audience, and
contributions to the amount of $4,000
were made, and resolution adopted to
forthwith increase the amount to S25, 900
in the city. The present contributions
are, we believe, for the purpose of se-
curing the handsome donation of the
late Mr.. Parrott, of Dayton, which was a
bequest payable on condition that des-
ignated sum was raised from other sources
within a specified length of time
From the interest the church has always
manifested in the University, and the
progress being made in receiving dona-
tiOns, we take it for granted the required
amount will be raised

The following is extracted from late
Buenos Ayres letter to the New York
Tribune The brother of the young la
dy, alluded to as being a Junior in our
University, is doubtless Mr.. JOHN F.
THOMSON, who is from Buenos Ayres,
and the only South American student
in the institution His many friends
in Delaware will heartily sympathise with
him in his sad bereavement:
''In the American school here, one day
last week, young Scotch lady, teacher,
fell down under an attack of heart dis
ease and Immediately expired It has
most profoundly moved the community,
as she had many friends. Her brother is
a Junior in the Delaware University,
Ohio. The funeral was the largest ever
attended in the city to the Protestant
cemetery"

afternoon, with his annual New Years
Address. We bespeak for him the same
generous reception his predecessors have
received-and in making their contribu-
tions, we would ask our patrons to bear
in mind the fact that dime does not
count as much as it did few years ago,
and that the general advance in prices
affects the Carrier in proportion to his
means quite as much as other persons.

SEVERE BEREAvEMENT.- s. l..
Roberts, in communication to the
Western Christian Advocate, gives the
following account of a sad series of be-
reavements in the family of citizen of
the northern part Of this county:
John and Margaret Worline, of Della
ware CO., O., have in the last few months
lost by death five members of their fam
lily:
Hugh, born April %, 1874, died, a
pEisoneF Of. war. January ID. 1863.
Elliott, born May 10. 1851, died Oc-
Jabez, born October8, 1855, died Oe-

Alonzo, born May I, 1863, died No
vember 13, 1864
Jane, born July IA, 1857, died Novem-
Der Is, 1864
In September, 1862, Hugh sacrificed
home of comfort and plenty, and entered
the army as member of Company d,
12lst Ohio Regiment In about one year
he was taken prisoner, and died in Dan
vile, Va, of varioloid. Poor boy while
in his fathers house there was plenty, he,
like thousands more. died in want, and
his wasted form now sleeps in the sunny
South, from whose hills and wales, in
the resurrection morn, God will bring
great army of the noblest sons of this
land. Though nearly year has elapsed
since death released him from the suffer
ings of Southern bastile, not till recent
ly were the parents satisfactorily inform
ed whether their son was dead or alive.
-Four died of scarlet fever, all in a few
sad days; scarcely had one reached the
shining shore" till another was enter
ing the cold stream of death, till all but
two of the family group were swept from
earth
