Lsstkdctioss to* Prkpawho Hospital
Stokes. —Some time since we published a short
article giving instructions how to prepare lint for
hospital use, but we presume it escaped the notice
of all not engaged in the work. The following
,erv plain instructions have been sent ns by a lady
who is deeply interested in the work; and as the
most of the ladies to the town and country are en
gaged in preparing hospital stores, it may.be of
great advantage to them:—
In the first place, the surgeons state that much
of the loti sent is not properly prepared, and, in
most cases, cannot he .used. Most persons who
Itepare lint go to the trouble of scraping it, which
u cot only unnecessary labor, but the lint thus
prepared can be used only in exceptional cases.
The proper way to prepare it is to take old sheets,
or anv other article of pure linen, old being rather
preferable to new, and cut it in pieces from three
to six and twelve inches in lengbth. These pie
ces should then be simply unraveled, thread by
thread, and laid together in skeins or bundles,
sud tied or rolled up in paper, different lengths in
separate packages. The sargeoos can then roll it
up «r pat it in any shape wanted in a moment.
When scraped tint is used in most wonnds, it
doses up the wounds, and the blood or pns unit
ing with it forms a hard mass, which not only ir
ritates, but it is difficult to remove; while the un
raveled lint keeps the wound cool and in a heal
thy condition. The reader will see'also that it is,
much more easily prepared than the scraped lint.
Bondages should be made of unbleached muslin
of medium quality, say such as can be bought for
ten or twelve cents per yard. They should be
four, six, eight and ten yards long, and ranging in
width from one-half to four inches wide—say J
inch. 1, IJ, 2,2 J, 3J, i inches.' The edges should
be cleared of all ravels or loose threads, which
cause delay or annoyance to the surgeon in apply
ing them in an emergency. Each size of band
age should be rolled up in ribbon style.
Pads for wounded limbs are in demand. These
are made of old calico, or anything that wilt hold
saw dust or bran—the latter being preferable.—
They are made in the form of hags, of three sizes
—I inches by 6, Bby 12, and 12 by 18. When
filled there is enough bran put in to moke them of
a uniform thickness. These are use to lay under
wounded limbs. They may be filled by those
who make them, if preferred, though the material
for filling can usually be had convenient to the
hospitals.
Another article much in demand is send bags.
These ate muslin bags which go in pairs, and are
used in the improved method of treating fractures
of the lower extremities. One of them should be
long enough to reach from the hip on the outside,
and the other from the crotchet, on the inside of
die leg, to a point two or three inches below the
foot. They should be 3 or 4 inches wide at the
lower end and 50r6 at the top. They are filled
with sand at the hospitals. These are now need
instead of splints for fractures of the extrem
ities, which Is said to bea great improvement over
.he old style of treating fractures.
In addition to the foregoing, old handkerchiefs,
common shirts (open in front and tied wiffi strings)
and under-clothes of all kinds ate constantly in
demand. Jellies suitable for convalescents, and
oranges and lemons, are also always acceptable;
but cakes, pies, and pastry generally should be
kept out of both camp and hospital.
To persons visiting military hospitals we would
also say a word. In entering a ward you should
not distribute oranges or the like to the inmates
unless yon bare enough to giro to all. Surgeons
and nnrseamy that it is no less painful to them
than to the alighted ones to see a distinction
made among men who are equally brave and de
wiring. Sick and wounded soldims are naturally
sensitive. ' Away from home, with nothing to en
gage their attention bnt their own sufferings, their
thoughts naturally nm on the friends, the affec
tions and the comforts which they sacrificed for
the sake of their conntiy. They, therefore, see
and feel a alight where none may have been in
tended. If yon have anything to give, and can
not treat all alike, it is better to give it to the
nurse or the pntgeon, to be added to the general
stock, out of which all will be supplied alike as
their necessities may require.—Lancaster Express.
Lint and other surgical dressings contributed
for the benefit of the wounded soldiers, and di
rected to the office of the Surgeon General, will
be forwarded to Washington by Adams* Express
Company free of charge.
Who* to Warns to xt WxsinKGTOit.—As
there are many persons who wish to communicate
«ith the different bureaus of the war Department,
s memorandum of the proper persons to address
*•? be useful to our readers.
AD letters relating to pay of soldiers on furlough
or in hospitals should be addressed to Gen; B. F.
lamed. Paymaster General.
Applications for back pay and the $lOO bounty
of deceased soldiers should be addressed to Hon.
E. B. French, Second Auditor.
Applications for pay of teamsters, employees of
Quartermaster’s Department, or for horses killed
>u rervice, should he addressed to Hon. B. I. At
liwon. Third Auditor.
Applications relating to pay and bounty in the
®*rine or naval service should be addressed to
Hon. Bobert Berrian, Fourth Auditor.
Letters concerning soldiers ia the army shook!
sddressed to Adjutant-Gen. Lorenzo Thomas.
This Flaw Comcast.—The first company

ernor's Proclamation, organized on Monday eren-
by electing the following officers :
Captain —H. E, Devlin.
j** Lieut. —J. T. Prendergast.
2«</ /jiait. —Wo. A. Boyden.
The company it styled the “McClellan Guards,”
members ore determined to drill, rkin or
**ae. Young men are cordially invited to join
to* company.
Proolamationby th» Governor.
TT THERE AS, in'the present position of af-
T f fairs, it is expedient that mtaonres should
be taken to nrm and prepare bar people for de
fence:
Now, therefore, I do earnestly recommend the
immediate formation throughout the Common
wealth, of yohmteer companies- and regiments, in
conformity with die militia act of' 1888. Anns
will be distributed to the organizations so to be
formed, agreeably to the provisions of that act.
It is further recommended, that, jo order to.
give due opportunities for drill and instruction, all
places of business be closed daily at three o'clock,
p. it., so that persons employed therein may, af
ter that boar, be at liberty to attend to their mili
tary duties.
The cheerful alacrity with which the men of
Pennsylvania have hitherto given themselves to
the service of the country, has pressed heavily on
her military resources. lam reluctant to ask her
people to assume further burdens, bnt as their
safety requires that they should do so, it is in their
behalf that I pot forth the recommendations here
in contained, and urge a prompt compliance with
them.
Given, under ray band and the great Seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this 'Fourth day of Sep
tember,in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Com
monwealth the eighty-seventh.
Bt the Govkbhqk.
ELI SLIFEH,
Secretary [of Oommonweakh.
Our citizens.have entered With spirit into the
organization recommended by the governor in the
above proclamation. On Monday evening last a
meeting was held in front of the Post Office, at
which addresses were nude by L. W. Hall, Esq.,
and others, and meetings appointed in the differ
ent wards for Tuesday evening to see what could
be done in the way of forming companies. Prev
ious to the meeting of Monday evening, the nu
cleus of some two or three companies had been
formed and the persons engaged in getting them
up proceeded to fill them out. The arrangement
of the meeting on Monday evening was for each
word to form its own organization, but this could
not be strictly carried ont in all cases, as in such
organizations, where the companies are to be per
manent, and liable to be marched to the border
and engage in battle, men want to enlist under
good officers and have a right to their preferences.
According to arrangement, meetings were held
in each ward on Tuesday evening, and those who
hod not enlisted in any .of the companies previously
formed, attached their ; names to rolls opened to
receive them. There may be more companies
forming than will receive a full complement of
men, aud in this case some of them will have to
throw together. Wo believe there are now some
seven or right companies formed and forming,
and there are enough men enrolled in the
Marshals to fill ail Of thorn to the required
standard, If they will come forward and do their
duty. In a few days we will know bow many
companies can be fonnecl and who ace to be the
officers, and next wehk we will announce the titles
of different organizations-'and their officers.
There is an important matter which we wish to
be distinctly understood, and it is this;—The or
ganizations now being made are not intended .to
take in the laboring class of Our people and let
business men escape. If such be the case the
whole organization must fail. Our business men,
and men of property, are more directly interested
in this matter than the mechanics in the shops,
and if they would place the town on a footing to
protect their property they mast themselves enter
the ranks and bear their share of the burdens.
They most close their places of business every
Wednesday and Saturday afternoon und take
their places in the ranks alongside of the working
men of the town. If they dothis, all will go well;
if not, the whole thing.is a failure. No man who
has the welfare of his country at heart will refuse
to give two,afternoons in each week toward pre
paring himself for an emergency that may be upon
him ere he is aware of it. Sickness, or positive
disability, can alone be taken as an excuse for ne
glecting drill, and those who are physically inca
pacitated fur drilling should close their places of
business during drill boon for the purpose of en
couraging others and take no undue advantage in
the way of trade.
Esbouukt of Buna Cousxr.—The Deputy
Marshal of tins county has furnished the following
official statement of the enrolment, from which it
will be seen that ail tbe,districts, with one or two
exceptions, have nobly done their doty :

Total,
From the Standard we learn that in the above
statement the Marshal by direction of the proper
authorities, has omitted ftom the credit to boroughs
and townships all persons who have enlisted in the
regular army, the navy, the marine service, all
teamstera, blacksmiths, &c. According to a table
issued from the Department at Harrisburg, the
aggregate quota of troops to be raised in Blair
county, under all requisitions to the present, is
1,684. The county nopr has in the field 1771,
showing an excess of 187 in our favor. Since the
above returns were made by the assessors 14 men
hpve enlisted in Blair township, and an entire
company is raising in Williamsburg and will go
into camp this week, i This will make our excess
probably two hundred and fifty. Has any county
in the State done better? If not, “little Blair”
claims the proud distinction of being the banner
county of the Keystone.

Ladies Aid Society.—lt gratifies us exceed
ingly to be able to announce that the ladies of Al
toona have formed a “Ladies’ Aid Society, H and
are now vigorously at work preparing lint, banda
ges, hospital clothing and hospital stores generally
for oar sick and wounded, soldiers. The initiatory
steps toward the formation of the society were ta
ken on Monday last, at which time a number of
ladies, c t all denominations, met in the Methodist
church, and officers and appointed com
mittees to aohcit contributions. There is nothing
of a sectarian character about the society and the
members of all churches are cordially and ear
nestly invited to join with it in laboring for onr
soldiers. The Methodist church has been offered
as the place of meeting, and meetings will be held
therein every Monday, Wednesday and Friday af
ternoon. Come, ladies, whether Catholic, Fna
byterian, Lutheran, Episcopal, etc., nnite with
those who arc now laboring for onr suffering sol
diers, “Many hands make light work.”
Ty Tax Law.—As the new NationaT'Tax
law is about to takp e&ct, it would be well for our
citizens to pojst themselves in regard to it, so that
they may have no misunderstanding with the As
sessors.; The “oitiaeaa edition" of this law, con
taining all. Its general and specific provisions,
may be had .at Fettlnger’s. It is done up in a
small neat book of 132 pages, and costs hot a
dime. ,
Fettingerhae also a variety of military drill
books, such as Haidee’s, Scott’s, and other small
works containing numerous engravings. They
are a great help to those entering military com
panies, and as almost every person is about to
join some military organization, and make them
selves nsefol.as soon as possible, we think they
will have a ready sale.
Beautiful.—We were shown, a few days since,
a cluster of plums, which, in the manner they
grew, exact! r resembled a bunch of grapes. The
limb which bore them was completely covered, as
was also the small shoots running out from it.
It was less than a foot long and must have con
tained more than a quart of plums. It was grown
oh the farm of Mr. John Anderson a short dis
tance below town. < ;
Moke ok the Same Sort.— Our clever old
friend, JoeMetzgar, of Sinking Valley, presented
us, on hgooday morning last, with a half-dozen
small phun tree limbs, beautifully covered with
luscious plums. They were not hard to take—
not half as hard as Biohmond. “Old-Joe'’ very
frequently remembers the printer when he has any
thing good, consequently he has good' look at all
times and is one of the happiest men we know.
CT Our correspondent, “Brevier, "refers to some
transactions in this place, which are anything but
creditable to the partial concerned. We can
hardly think that there is a man in this place who
would treat a sodiers wife in the manner there re
ferred to, but If there Is one of the kind, we iritonld
see that {the the last time be is pennmitted to Jo m.

Arming the State Militia. — A telegraph
from Harrisburg has the following in relation to
the arming of the people under Governor Curtin’s
late proclamation:—“Citizens organizing them
selves into companies under the Governor’s proc
lamation are not.reqnired to clothe or equip them
selves. Arms will be promptly furnished upon
application to Adjutant General Russell by the
regularly elected Captain, and not necessarily
through the Brigade Inspector. Captains will be
required to give bond or some good security for
their safe keeping. Companies can be organized
to number from thirty-two to ninety-eight rank
and file. Companies and regiments thus organi
zing should drill constantly and hold themselves
in readiness to morch to the defence of our border
upon short notice.

Removal.—Messrs. Hall and Neff have removed
their law office from the room on Virginia street,
to their new building on the Logan House lot, im
mediatly back of the P. B. R. ticket office.—
This building was pat up specially for their accom
modation, and is decidedly neat and comfortable
in all its arrangments. They can now entertain
their clients and firiends in good style, and will be
happy to meet them all in their new quarters.
Cavalry. —The U. S. Government has called
on Pennsylvania for three regiments of Cavalty,
