No Pares NEXT WEEK. —In accordance with a -custom quite generally observed among weekly pa pers, during the hollidays, we shall not issue the IsqrißEß next week. Our employees feel a dispo sition to take some recreation daring that period, and at the same time we shall effect some improve ments in our office. We wish our readers all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. To THB FRIENDS OP THE PATRIOT. —With this num ber we close our connection with the BEDFORD Pa triot. We have disposed of the establishment to B. F. MCNEIL, Esq., the IxqrißEß. Our reason for so doing, is, that we intend to remove to the j East the coming Spring. We made the Patriot a | paying institution, but we think we can do better elsewhere. To the many friends who gave U3 their influence, we tender our sincere thanks, and shall ever hold them in kind remembrance. To one and all. we say, good bye. DAVID OVER. To OVR ADVANCE PAYING SCBSCRIBERS. —We have | made arrangements with Mr. B. F. MCNEIL, of the | Inquirer, by which our advance paying subscribers will be sent that paper, at the same rates tor which we were paid, for the unexpired term of their sub scriptions. Where any of these persons are already subscribers to the Inquirer, and have paid in advance for that paper, they will be credited with the addi tional amount due by us. We hope this arrangement will be satisfactory.— Patriot. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. —T. R. Gettys has just re turned from Philadelphia with a large assortment of; Christmas presents, in the shape of Albums, Fancy j Frames for pictures and a choice selection of cases, j it. Ac. Those who wish to make a handsome pres ent to their friends should go at once to Gettys Photograph Gallery and procure one. They are the richest things of the season and the choicest selec- j tion ever offered to the citizens of Bedford County. J Give him a call and examine for yourself. THE HOLLIDAYS. —Shuck Brothers have received a fine assortment of beautiful toys for the Hollidays. The very things to please both the old and young juveniles. Call and see them. The new advertisements should not be overlooked. BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES. —This Universal Remedy for Coughs. Colds, and Bronchial Affections now stands the first in public favor and confidence; this result has been acquired by a test of thirteen rears. Its merits and extensive use has caused the "Troches to be counterfeited, and we would caution j purchasers to be on their guard against worthless j imitations. IMPORTANT TO THE PI BLIC. The Correction of the Enrollment. The correction of the National Enrollment is of j the first importance. Where it is excessive, quotas ! are increased and unjust burdens imposed. The Board of Enrollment desires the co-operation of all citizens—those who are not liable to draft as well as : th -se who are —in an effort to secure its reduction J to the proper standard. HOW THIS SHOULD BE DONE. In a matter of this kind, organization is what is wanted to insure success. Every Town or Town- I slip should at once constitute a few of its citizen? a j C nmittee to attend to its interests. That Com- j miitee should be required to see the preparation of : evidence with a view of striking from the lists the : names of men in the service, those that have remov- j ed from the District permanently and in good faiih, i nnd those that are deceased, as well as adding the j ; ames of persons coming into the District to reside, | .ch as have arrived at twenty years of age. and any • .at may have escaped enrollment heretofore. DECEASED PERSONS. These will be stricken off on the certificate of the I : -per enrolling officer on the affidavit of two citi stating the time of death as nearly as possible. PERSONS IN MILITARY SERVICE. Committee* will please confine their attention to | ach as have entered the service otherwise than through this office. Drafted men in service, substi ;tes and volunteers enlisted Itere are taken from the enrollment as a matter of course. The Board will strike off the names of enrolled persons alleged to be in the service upon the sworn statement of two j citizens, giving the company and regiment in which | the parties may be serving, the date and place of muster, and such other facts as may suggest them- j selves. A specification of at least the regiment and j the time of mu-ter, as nearly as can be ascertained, is essential. PERSONS REMOVED. All persons who have removed permanently and j in good faith from the District, or from one Town or Township in the District to another, will be strick en off on the application of two citizens whose sworn statement of the time and manner of removal, I together with the residence of the party, if known, should be filed. TWO YEARS' SERVICE. Those that have served two years in the present : j war are entitled to be stricken off. The discharge j iof such with an oath of identity is sufficient. Where the discharge is inaccessible for any good reason ; affidavits making out clearly the fact of service for : [ that period of time will be received. The ~organi ! aticn and dates of muster in and out should not be : omitted. OVER OR UNDER AGE. Persons who claim to be stricken off on account of being over 45 or under 20 years of age, must ! bring their own affidavit, stating the day of their birth. Where the parents are living their affidavit *s also required. In case the parents are dead, the iffidavit of the applicant must state this tact, and then the affidavit of any two reputable citizens, sta ting that they know the man and believe his state ment to be true, will be received. In support of the foregoing evidence, any record evidence, public f r private, thai may be in existence, tmtst be pro duced. Where there is no record evidence, the affi *tavi:s should set forth the fact of its non-existence. ALIENS. These must file an affidavit setting forth the date •"A piace of birth : the port at which they were *fided, as well as the time ; their several places of vnee since in this country, with the length of '-•me at each ; and that they have never filed a dec oration of intention to become citizens, nor have d or attempted to vote at any election in any 'e. In addition, the affidavit of two respectable •zens, not themselves aliens, must be furnished 1 -o certify that they know the applicant to be a man entitled to credit, and believe his statement to be true. PHYSICAL DISABILITY. The Board is allowed to strike off. for manifest permanent physical disability. It is impossible to make this term any plainer. The infirmities for which the Board are permitted to strike off, must be both manifest and permanent. Those desiring to be stricken off under this head should come in person. The Surgeon must see the trouble complained of be fore reporting an opinion to the Board. PERSONAL APPEARANCE. Those claiming exemption for two years service, over or under age, aliuiage and physical disability should appear in person. But a cursory examina tion will be given the last class. Those that do not feel themselves permanently and manifestly disabled should not appear. As regards aliens and persons claiming exemption on age, personal attendance is requisite. Whenever it is practicable for a party claiming exemption for any cause to appear, he should come. An application in his absence, with out reasonable excuse for non-attendance, is con strued against him. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. A copy of the enrollment may often facilitate and curtail the work of Committees. This will be fur nished the Townships in the remoter Counties on application. Only Committees, not individuals, need apply. This office has not the help to furnish more than a single copy to a Township. So soon as the present draft is completed theßoard of Enrollment, or a part of it, will visit the several County seats of the District, for the purpose of cor recting the lists. Due public notice of the time of visiting each County will be given. The citizens are urged to hold themselves in readiness to attend. Persons of unsuitable age, those afflicted with per manent ailments, those that have seen two years' service, aliens and all others who can attend should be to do so. This a faithful effort on the part of the Board ol Enrollment to obtain accurate lists, and should be met with a corresponding spirit by citizens. Committees need not wait until the Board visits Counties, but c-an visit the Board here at once if they see proper. Where it is desired to have a person enrolled who has escaped enrollment, moved into the Township, or become twenty one years of age, application in writing should be made by one or more citizens. — The statement submitted by them should give the full name, age, occupation and place of birth of the man to be enrolled, as well as the place of residence of the informant. The appropriate government stamps mast be af fixed to all affidavits. The Board is instructed to say that if the oppor tunity now offered to correct enrollments is neglect ed, no attention will iu future be given to complaints about excessive quotas. GEO.

I have bean directed to make public the following ad vertisement. The Board of Enrolment will be in session daily at Chambcrsburg for the pu-pose of striking off the the names indicated below, unless absent slider orders or engaged in the more urgent duty of examining drafted men. It is desired that enrolled men. calling with the view of having their namys stricken off, present themsel ves in the afternoon, between one and four o'clock. The Board will cheerfully inform applicants by letter of the quantity and character of proof required in special cases. GEORGE HSYTER, Capt. and Pro. Mar. 19th Dist. Pa. la order to secure the assistance and co-operation of the people in the endeavor to keep the enrolment lists contin ually correct, the Enrolment Boards have been directed to have copies of said lists kept open to the examination of the public at all proper times, and shall give public notice that liny person may appear before the Boi rd and have any name stricken off the list, if he can show, to the satis faction of the Board, that the person named is not proper lv enrolled, on account of, " Ist. Alienage. 2d. Non-residence. 3d. Over age. 4th. Permanent physical disability, cf sueh a degree as to render the person not a proper subject for enrolment under the law and regulations. sth. Having served in the military or naval service two years during the present war, and been honorably dis charged. Especially civil officers, clergymen, and all prominent citixena are invited to appear at ail times before the Board to point out errors in the lists, and to give such infonra tion in their possession as may aid in the correction and revision thereof. Xbey should understand that it is plainly for the inter est of each sub-district to have stricken from the lists all names improperly enrolled, because an excess of names increases the quota called for frotn such sub-districts: and that it is equally for the interest cf each person enrolled in a given sub-district to place upon the lists all persons in the sub-district liable to do military duty, because the greater the number to be drawn from the less the chance that any particular individual will be drawn. It is the personal interest of every enrolled man that the quota in which he is concerned shall not be made to large, and that his own chances for drsfl shall not be unjustly increased: both these objects will be attained if all parties will aid in striking out the wrong names and putting in the right ones. Especially is this the interest of those drafted inen who by putting in substitutes themselves liable to draft, have secured exemption, which, by the terms of the law, holds good only until the present enrolment is exhausted in their sub-districts. Men who are over 45 years of age, and in consequence excused by law from the performance of duty in the field, owe it to the cause and to the country to take a zealous and active part in the correction of the enactment lists, a military service of the first importance. The law requires that the quotas shall be assigned in pro portion to the enrolment, and the fainness and justness of mode of determining the amount of military service due f rom each and every section of the country, cannot be doubted, if the enrolment is made as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it. The amount of serviee due to the nation from every town and county, is thus laid fair ly and plainly before the citizens, and it is expected that a higher motive than a selfish interest, will prompt all to do their share in perfecting the enrolment, and securing a just and efficient execution of the laws for raising troops, whenever it becomes necessary to apply them.
