No breaking of Needles.
The blade of the needle is less than Z of an

half the length of other machine needles, ma

As the 5th Of September approaches every

Little else is talked ahout just now. News-

people to enlist, to thus prevent the necesst-
ty Of drafting.
The indications are that we will have no
escnpe here, as eplistments arc progressing
slowly, only about twenty-five men are en-.
Listing daily. The draft will make clean
