SPEAKING The Rochester IN r. Democrat

conceived the idea that the ladies' Of tie Hos
pital Aid Society, # that village, could pro-
gress faster in their noble work Of sewing for
the benefit Of the soldiers it they would ta!k
less, accordingly offered to contribute $50 to
the Society if twelve ladies could be found
who would sew all DAY without speaking
The task was entered upon by fifteen self
sacrificing women Of hat village, and fourteen
of them actually accomplished this very diff
cult feat Of self denial, although tempted in
various wars by a large rumber Of visitors
and interlopers. One Of the number tailed in
the undertaking, having been tempted, like

LOCAL BouHrlEs.-A correspondent Of the
Courier advocates an extra session Of the
Board Of Supervisors ITO make such appro-
pr;at;on for the encouragement Of enlistments
as may make draft fall as lightly as possible
on the county" We heartily second the
suggestion. Under the new call for troops
our county must stand . draft unless ex.raor-
binary aud vigorous measures are adopted, to
fill our quota. In nearly Ill the other eoun-
ties Of tie State liberal bounty is being
pad. Our illiberal policy is driving away
from US, to these COUNTIES, those who would,
were equal advantages offered, DO credited to
US. By this means they are getting out Of
the draft at our expense. Several volunteers
from this county have already been 30 cred
tied to other counties in order to secure the
bounties. Let us have local bounty, the
expense of which should be equitsbly dis
trbut upon all, according to their means
We, therefore, second the suggestion for an
extra session Of the Board, and an appropria-
ton.

A FEW RULES FOB TcosB WHO ATTEND Lee.
TuREs AND CoxcEBTs.-lt would be well if
some Of the yourg folks Of this city would
observe more particularly the following rules,
which we give for 'heir especial benefit:
list, Go early and select good seat, then,
when you have secured oae, chat with your
friend upon proper subjects until the exer-
cises commence. .g..r.s,sr
3D., In your chst do not tell your secrets
and give full detail Of your loves and friend
ships These msy be interesting to very
select few; but may annoy those sitting just
before or behind you, who have no particu-
lar Interest in knowing whom you love or
b .te.
3d., Even if you feel like it, refrain from
whispering or doing anything else which will
disturb, while the programme Of the evening
il bling passed over. You should scrupu-
lousy observe this rule for the reason that
some may have come to hear. .,.. -,
4th., When you pass out. don't go COM
planning Of the crowd, and keep averring,
while you remain 10 the hall, that you will
never be caught 20 again. Such conduct is
not amiable. z
9th If you are . lady, and gentleman
happens to step on your dre,s, don't look
daegers ut him. or tar,ly demand him to get
off it. He did not intend 70 do it. The
poor msn's foot must be somewhere, and it is
questionable If hdy's dress has right
