,'fiot their military Jottery in motion,
' wbenovor tho Government stall seo fit,
iiiiil it is surely time for our citizens to
''understand where they aro in this
'' inattor, so that they may either take
1' liold vigorously, and sup)ly tho few
jitori wh6 aro requiro 1 in this first draft,
""or prepare themsolves for thocouscrip
tion on failing to do so. Thero is no
reason to think1 that tho time will be
xtcnod, 'and tho numbor required from
bach district in tbe State is compara
tively so small, that oo additional time
to'bscapo a draft is Boeosnry, if a mod-
'crate effort is ruado to that end.
Wo havo concluded to give below,
' ih addition to somo items concerning
' ''tho draft, a roviow of tho measures
,,J;ov taken by tho Government to raise
'""volnntoors, giving tho bounties, pro
miums, and all incidental advantages
porlaining to the present method of'se-
1 '.curing troops by vol untoering. There
'' 5s tl Confusion concerning this in the
public mind, which can easily bo cleared
"'jftwiiy, by an attentivo glance at the
"'fact wo present. Sinco tho 2."th of
last September, tho three years troops
in the field have been nt liberty to cut
-thpii' old enlistment short, and com
marteo a now one for throo years or tho
. '''War, thereby entitling themselves to
':'tlib'r03 bounty, which will bo paid
to thoir legal heirs if they fail; or it
;,1hcy should bo discharged at any time
"' after tho date of such ro-on!istment,
T,: they will receivo the K)2 just tho samo.
It is evident that the more speedily tho
troops in the -field take advantago of
this unprocedetitodly libelnl provision,
"vtllo Sooner thoir socohd term of service
'"will bo over. ' This is not thoroughly
1 ' "understood in tho army, wo havo ob
'; 'oorod but tho order of tho War De-

'"to Col. Jones, lrovost .Marshals of tbe

fivo ot tho voting population. The
quota of' each sub-district (of which
thero nro about twenty-two in each
Congressional District in this county)
is fitmut cloven and a half.
It can therefore bo seen that this
mere sqund of men could easily bo se
cured by volunteering in each district.
Iho Government oners to even Bound
volunteer a bounty of $!502, and, in
cases whoro tho volunteer bus served in
any of our armies for a term not less
than nine months, ho receives an ad
ditional 8100, making 8402 in all.
Iho recent call ot tho l'residont for
300,000 volunteers, of which number
Ohio must furnish her quota, in addi
tion to tho present deficiency of 5,000,
and the lact that tho provision to pay
raw volunteers a Government bounty
of SJ02 expires December 1, or
about six wocks, is proot enough that
it is advisable toencourago volunteer
ing in every way, and with all possi
bio haste. Tho bounties now paid
mako the sorvieepoeuniarily attractive
to any man ' who receives a sahtny of
less than ton dollars per week. In the
army ho rocoivos his food and clothing,
and his pay in such installments as to
induce him to savd it. Thoro is no rea
son why a privato, who has no claim
on his wages, and who volunteers at
the present tnuo, should not como out
8U00 or 8700 ahead, after deducthi";
three dollars per month for tobacco,
stationery and "othor refreshments.'
TflF, nOCNTY TO HAW VOLUNTEEUS
Is, as wo havo said, $1502, paid in the
foi'Iowing installments: 827 on being
mustered into the service; $t0 two
months after said muster; 810 six
months after Baid muster ; 10 each at
tho end of one year, eighteen months,
.two jears,.two years and a half, and
tho balance at tho oxpiration ot ser
vice.. Ono month's pay is also ad
vanced at tho muster, making a total
of S40, paid to tho recruit as soon as
he is mustered.
Tho IVovost Marshals, it will bo re
membercd, nro authorized to receive
volunteers. Applicants aro examined
every niornin::. at 11 A. II., and il
passed sent to Columbus for muster.
The recruit has tho privilege of so
locting any regiment in the service for
lus lujuro military career. Tun right
is plainly of great advantage to the
volunteer, who can enter tho service
among the veterans of his acquuin
tance, in whose hands ho will doubtless
graduato much nnro speedily and
agreeably than under othor circum
stances. WHO MCST GET TIIKJR EXEMPTION PA
PERS 11EP0RK THE DRAFT.
Farents, who havo the privilege of
solocting ono of their sons for exemp
tion, in accordance with tho provisions
of tho Conscription Act, mijst procure
such exemption papers previous to tho
draft, tor the obvious reason that, in
asmuch as, in all probability, not moro
than ono would be drawn, tho parent
would, if permitted to mako tho elec
tion after tho draft, select for exemp
tion whichever ono was conscripted.
This, of cotirso, tho law does not have
in view. Tho Hoard of Enrollment
sits ovory day at each Provost Mar
shal's oillco. and application for this
spocies of exemption, but none, other,
must bo made to thein before the draft
takes place
THE BOUNTIES FOR "VETERANS."
Any man who has been in service in
any of tho armies in tho field for a
period of nine months or more, is on
lie 1 now, upon volunteering, to 8 102,
in installments, as sot forth in tho or
der of tho department relating to this
matter, which wo publish below.
Thoso who have served for that length
of time, and who can puss tho surgjon,
receivo that amount, and, also, have
tho privilege of selecting tho regiment
iu which they will servo.
Those who are still iu service in the
three years regimc.ts, can, in accord
ance with tho order below, commence
a new term of enlistment and receive
8102 in bounties. It will also be ob
served that all soldiers so vo-enlisting
are entitled to a speedy furlough of
thirty days, which is long enough to
got tired of civil life, if we may be
lieve half of what wo hear from officers
tint men on leave of absence from their
regiments.
It is time that activo efforts were bo
ing made in tho army to re-enlist the
three-years' regiments, whose terms
expire next summer and fall. They
are among tho flower of our soldiery,
and cannot well be spurei' on any
terms. Tho Government is willing to
pay them well for furlhot' service, in
greenbacks as well as gratitude, and
wo think if the proper ellorts wero be
ing made, the rolls of the '-veterans"
might bo flowing back to Washington
even now. The thirty days the' will
bo permitted to spend utbomo, will be
sufficient to induce thousands of tho ro
eulisted veleraus to be thankful for re
entering tho army ; not that thoywill
not bo gratofully rccoivod, but boeauso
they sooiit yearn for tho accustomed
excitement of tho field... Tho history
of all tirmies is tho samo; and ono of
tho strongest coincidences lies in tho
fact that rocruiting is never moro brisk
than when quo has Tocontly been dis
banded. 1

THE RETURN OF DESERTERS.
The cost and trouble of organizing
tho Provost Department throughout
the country, lias been great, but now
that tho wheels ot tho various districts
are running smoothly, tho benefits
arising from it are more than commen
surate. Since tho inauguration of the
office, 250 deserters havo boon return-
o I from tho First District alono. If the
eighteen other Districts have done as
well, nearly 5,0(10 have been returned
from the State. Nino-tenths of this
number have bocn arrested during the
last four or hvo months.
Previous to the 28th of September a
reward often dollars was paid to the
person apprehending and delivering a
deserter. Sinco that timo, tho reward
has been increased to thirty dollars,
which amount will be paid to any per
son who brings a deserter before any
Provost Marshal. In addition to the
regular polico there aro a number of
detectives employed in arresting the
skulkers of the nrm
Every Provost Marshal is furnished
with formidable books, in which tho
names of tho doscrtcrs from every rog-
iment in tho servico nro entered. Uy
referring to theso, ho quickly decides
upon the truth ot a chargo ol this kind
brought against an individual. The
culprits aro sent back to their regi
ments under guard, to await trial.
CREDITS FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Each district will be credited with
the number of volunteers it furnishes,
and as far as possible, every sub dis
trict also.' If Hamilton county, within
u week recruits her quota of five or
six hundred, iy moro men will bo re
quired from her, though tho draft takes
place throughout tho rest of tho State.
MARKING TREKS.
Every body has fell the want of some
effective plan of marking fruit trees iD
the orchard. All sorts of labels have
been tried, and most persons depend
for strict accuracy on having a manu
script list made of the trees as they
aro numerically arranged on the
ground. This is very well, but ns one
has to have the list always about, or
sometimes likes to graft several kinds
on one tree, tho plan is so far object
ionable. Xow, it is a well known fact, that
tho scratch of a pin on the bark, leaves
a sear that endures almost with the
life of the tree. We were shown a beech
tree,. Gently, in Delaware county, by
a middle aged man, witu tuo iniuais
of his father still plainly traceable,
which were scratched on the bark when
bis father was a boy. Tho samo can
bo done with fruit trees, as we believe
wo saw suggested somo years ago in an
agricultural journal, but which, like a
good many good ideas that yearly float
over tho great sea of the agricultural
press, has nearly been forgotten. Wo
saw some trees a few days ago that had
been marked in this way, and it re
minded us that tho idea was worth re
suscitating. .
Tho letters of tho namo aro scatched
on tho under side of the branch, and
tho letters one above tho other. In
tho case wo saw, thero wero two kinds
on tho two arms of the tree Baldwin
and Northern "Spy tho main or cent
ral stem boing of nnothor kind, the
namo of which wo do not now remem

OA U DEN WALKS.
Thero is no part of a garden or plea
sure grounds more expressive of tho
character of tho keeping, than the
walks. No matter how fine tho flower
bods may bo, if tho walks are not
boniidod by smooth and graceful curvos
or if they are rough, irregular, and un
finished, the arrounds will convey un
mistakably an expression of bud man
agement. But a smooth and pefect
Walk, on the othor hand, even if carri
ed through a wild, natural shrubbery,
imparts a finished air to tho wholo.
Theso facts should bo borno in mind
by all owners of ornamental gardens.

lood of humanity. Children love it,
old age craves it, and country people
livo on it. Bread and milk is the far
mer's healthiest supper, and certainly
conducive to longevity. We have in
mind persons ot great ago Wrose diet
has been largely milk. The dill'erence
in the healthiness of country and city
depends in no email degree upon diet
Milk is uot an exciting beverage It
does not temporarily stimulate the fac
ulties like hot or strong drinks. It is
not a disliior tho bustling tradesman,
or the warrior on the day of battle. It
belongs to the country, to tho iuno-
cenco of lite, to healthy growth, to uu-
porvcrted taste, to calm and honest en
deavor. No ono need greatly fear the
villainy ot a lover of milk.
Milk is an object of so much import
ance that all agricultural societies
should mako it a principal object to
foster tho product of tho dairy. We
need better cows. According to the
last census, thero were 144, 4!) of theso
animals in tho State. 1800 quarts per
aunum is about tho average of the cows
iu the Northern .States. (Some give
3,000 quarts and others only- 1,000. No
cow is worth milking that falls below
this average. Greater care and attcn
tion to dairy stock will materially help
tbe farm profits. No wonder that the
farmer complains of hard times, when
tho majority of tho cows arc kept at a
loss. The average annual yield of Mas
sachusetts cows, according to the last
census, is only 1,108 quarts.
Notwithstanding milk is so common,
its management and preservation are
noorlv understood. Milk wanted sweet
Ibr 24 hours, should bo deprived of
its animal heat as soon nspossiblo in
hot weather. One of the best ways to
do this is to place tho nowdy filled cans J
in fresh, cold water. Milk should also!

below lO. Currents of air are injuri
ous to millc, and fresh hiilk will often
sour during a thnnder storm. A tnilk
housc should therefore be closed when
a storm is rising, and at other times
havo pure air. Milk can also bo pre
served by scalding ' and evaporation,
but neither is asgood as the first meth
od. Unlike other products, the value
of milk is determined by its proximity
to market.
Sweet Cider. 'When it has ferment
ed a very littio, remove all foreign sub
stances bv straining, or other meahs;
add to tach barrel about four quarts of
crushed borse-radisb roots, and you
will have cider, both sweet and pleas
ant, that will remain in that same state
as long as you can reasonably desiro.
While the radish does not destroy tbe
life, it imparts an agreeable flavor, and
prevents fermentation.

Mr. Howitt, Mr. Owen and Mrs.
Crowe have told of strange and super
natural things; they make us shudder
and our flesh to creep by listening to
the "footfalls" in tho shadowy, boun
dary lands between tbe world of sense
and that of spirit. Why thon may not
ono less known to lame be permitted
for tho cheering and strengthening of
every heart that can receive her suy
ings, to relate a strange, but blessed
event in horowit experience? 'otrange,
I call it; but my heart reproaches me
for tho word. W hen we recall our
dear Lord's promises to those who try
to follow him, is it strauge ?
Once my life was hardly to bo en

In the extremity of my want and
lis tress I went to lier, but had hardly
reached her when she was brQught
down with typhus foi;r in its severest
form. My last ray of light was depart
ng. I felt no surprit. Everybody
vho was true io mo, who at. heart
visbed and with ciVrnestnt-ss tried to
render me aid, was wont to die. ! Bo
ng used to that I might have borne it;
but to see 'the sufferings and (o hear tha
ravings of that gentle, faithful, loving
being, was loo niuclj to endure. ': It al
most madewe mad. In fact I becaino
despairing, detperate. A 11 the misery
of the past arrayd itself before my
memory, all my vain, efforts after, a
oetter fate fr those most dear to nie

to adhere to the path of honor' and

control her that she might don'6,per
sonal damage to herself, and it! was
all that they could do to maungo. her.o
strong and firm was the delusion Ijliat
possessed her.
Utterly exhnnsted I had dropped
outside of her chamber door upon- tho
floor of a front mom. AtmyleStand
about four feet f.om me was the open
door into the hsl:. I threw my apron
over my head, bowed my head into my
lap, find my soul began an unspolren
prayer. 1 bad been in Gethsemane
before, had wn-sUed in prayer until I
vondercd that the sweat upon mo and
the tears that forced their, way were
not of blood; but never bad I known
ivhat it was to be abandoned to an ag-
