TgE NEXT DRAFT.-The Provost Ma
sba for this District publishes notice re-
ouesting all persons who may have beer
improperly enrolled, on account of having
served two years 10 the army or navy, al
;erage non residence, unsuitablsness of age
or permanent physical disability, to appear
hafors the Board and have their names ex
hinged from the enrolment. 1t is the
duty of all our citizens who are in any way
Interested in the expected draft to give
their attention to this matter. There is
every reason to believe that another draft
vill soon take place. The first thing me-
-. qarv is to see that the enrolment be
nr,periv corrected and reduced. If they
:, not. the enrolment will be much greater
nan it should be, the quotas will be neces-
.,r;,y larger, and the general effect of the
raft will fall heavier upon all classes.

RETURNED HoME.-Or northern
exchanges announce the return home
of our Representative in Congress,
Hon. W. D. McIndoe, and the hearth
ness with which they extend him well
come proves his popularity among his
friends and neighbors. All who have
watched bis course in Congress give
him great praise for the attentive
and most efficient manner in which
he has discharged his duty. This
praise, as the records Of the House
will prove, he has we'll earned, for he
has missed scarcely vote, and no
important one during the whole Of the
past long session, and his votes were
always in favor Of Liberty, the Union,
the Constitution, Justice and the
Right. In Washington his close at
tention to duty was almost proverbial,
and is only the more remarkable and
commendable when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the demands
upon his time, answering tie cores
pondence from his large district, at
tending to and watching over the in
terests of his constituents at the De-
partments, and In a thousand other
ways, were ceaseless and exhausting.
But few men could have accomplished
SO much, and he who has deserves all
the praise. Fortunately for the Dis
trict and the State we are not to
lose his services at the convention to
be held at Sparta, on the 25th inst,
the people, by their representatives,
will show by their votes that they
appreciate and honor a public servant
so faithful and SO we'll deserving

"a When 1 used to tend store at
the Regulator in Syracuse, the old
man comes round one day, ,and says he:
Boys, the one that sells the most
'twixt now and Christmas, gets vest
pattern as present"
May be We didn't work for that
vest pattern l tell yon there was some
tall stories told in praise of goods
just about that time; but the tallest
talker and the one that had more
check than any Of us was a certain
Jonah Squares, who roomed with me.
He could talk a dollar out of a
mans pocket when the man only in
tended to spend sixpence; and the
women-Lord bless .-they just
handed over their pocket books to him
and let him lay out what he liked for
them.
One night Jonah woke me up with,
"By gosh, old fellow, Il you think that
ere's got cotton in it, I'll bring down
the sheep it was cut from, and make
him swear to his own wool 'Twont
wear out either-wore pair Of pants
Of that kind of stuff myself for five
years, and they're as good now as
when l first put 'em on! Take it at
thirty cents and I'il say you don't owe
me anything. Eh! too dear! Well
call it twenty-eight cents. What
dye say? Shall | tear it? All right
it's a bargain"
I could hear Jonah's hands playing
about the bed clothes for an instant,
then rip! tear! went something Or
another, and / hid my head under the
blankets, perfectly convulsed with
laughter, and sure that Johah had torn
the sheet from top to bottom. When
| woke up the next morning found
alas unkindest tear Of all-that the
back Of nay night shirt was split
from the tail to the band.
