Nobody Asked If He
 Will Enlist In Army,
 When Census Is Taken

Many men who have seen the blanks being used by those who are taking the Connecticut military cen sus throughout the state have ap- peared surprised that there is no ques- tion on the census blank which asks the individual if he would enlist in case the United States should ever call for troops. An inspection of the blank shows that there is absolutely nothing asked in reference to possible enlistment. Information is required concerning a mans name, address, weight, height, age, trade, citizenship, special abilities, and. similar details, together with whether he has ever had military or naval experience. No question concerning willingness to en- list appears on the blank.
 Tn explaining this, Charles A. Good win of Hartford, who is a member of the committee of assistants to Cover nor Ho1comb for the military census had made the following statement:
 "Enlistments in the army or navy is only a small part of the service re- quired of citizens under modern con- ditions. The governor does not now desire to know who will or will not en- list. He simply desires to know cer- tain facts regarding each man, which would show his qualifications for the varied activities of modern warfare of which service in the army or navy is only one branch.
 "If war comes there will be call for volunteers and enlistments will be made This census is not an enlist merlt.''

RUSSIANS JOIN
 GERMANS WHEN
 WOLVES ATTACK
Foes Unite Forces to Fight .Deadlier Enemy on Po-
 fish Front.

Petrograd, Feb. 16.-A wolf hunt in which both Russian and German SOL diers joined is described in cores pondence from the Polish front. Par ties of Russian and German scouts met recently and were hotly engaged in skirmish when a large pack of wolves dashed on the scene and att tackled the wounded. Hostilities were at once suspended and Germans and Russians instinctively attacked the pack, killing about fifty of the wolves. After the hunt the soldiers separated, each party returning unmo- tested to it's own trenches.
 Along some sections of this front hungry wolves have ben particularly bold this winter, constituting a real danger to outposts of both armies, and repeatedly the combatants have had to send out hunting parties against the common enemy. While at this sort of work sniping is suspend ed by sort of tacit agreement among opposing forces.

THE LAST DAY OF
 THE c. M. CLEARANCE

The Caesar Misch Stores announce thah tomorrow will be their final day for wearing their winter stocks. The purpose of this sale has been fulfilled, which was. to make true once again the policyl of this store, never to carry from one season to another any garments or wearing apparel for men, women and children.
 The rigid adherence to this policy means that the Caesar Misch stores have at all times .clean stock" so that those who purchase there need never fear that through ignorance they may buy a ''slow seller" carried over from previous season.
 In addition to the final mark down prices for the last day, many new ar rivals in spring fashions will be shown and that there may, be no discrimina- ton, these too, have been put in al special prices. Women, undoubtedly, will be much interested in the new spring suits which are strikingly beautiful and show an entirely new fashion tend ency, in the dresses which will be again largely worn this season and particularly in the new millinery.
 Cheerful Credit, as is customary, is freely offered to all who wish to make use of this advantageous method o1 buying.

Stratford, Feb. 12, 1867, Messrs. Editors of the Farmer-our neighbor of The Standard has of late published "The Star of Hope Temperance So- ciety'' Gas they call themselves) of this place. In one of them the writer takes exception to the lecture deliver ed by Rev. MT. Hall, on the ground that he did not mention their society, nor extol the virtues of it's members.
 Now it was we'll known by them that the Congregational church can not be used for the purpose of puffing the excellencies of the members of this society eff they have any) as by a rule of the parish. the house can not oe used fbr anything but religious purposes.
 I believe it is generally understood in this place that the "Star of Hope" is not religious society, nor arc any of it's members celebrated for devout piety. Indeed sundry little piccodilos committed by some of them would en- title them to be celebrated for some thing quite the contrary. However, khis matter is not of much account and the sooner they cease their at tacks on MT. Hall and those who think his lecture was one of the best Christian temperance lectures ever delivered in this town, the better will they show their temperance princi- ples.
