BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, DEC. 23. 1864.
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.

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. By order

Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to yon, I have
no hesitation, in writing the faet, that I experienced mark
ed benefit from your. Hoofland's German Bitters. During
a long and tedious session of Congress, pressing and oner
ous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest
ed the use of the preparation I have named. I took his
advice, and the result was improvement of health, renew
ed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed
and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged if
thev desire to be. Truly your friend,
THOMAS B. FLOREXCE.

lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa
vors that can be conferred upon man, vis : that of kealtß.
For many years have I suffered from one of the most an
noying and debilitating complaints that the human fami
ly "can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this disease,
I was attended by regular pbysieians, giving me bat tem
porary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I aas
induced to try Hoofland's German Eitters. After the use
of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint
appeared to be completely eradicated.
I often inwardly thank yon for such a valuable specific
and, whenever I hare an opportunity, cheerfhlly recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.
Truly yours,

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman:—My mother-in
law has been so greatly benefitted by yourHoofiand's Ger
man Bitters that I conclnded to try it myself. I find it to
be an invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it
to all who arc suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that
disease in its most obstinate form —flatulence—for many
years, and your Bitten has given me ease when every
thing else had failed. You; truly, J CLICS LEE.
From the Hon. JACOB BROOM,
Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863.
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effect
produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in
my family, I have no hesitatien in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia of
thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis
tressing, the use of ore bottle gave decided relief, the sec
ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seem*, has confirmed
the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for
the last six years. In my indiviCu.il use of it 1 find it o
be an unequalled tonic, and eijcertly recommend its use
to the sufferers.
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: | I have recently
been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion,
accompanied by a prostration of the nervus system,
numerous remedies were recommended by riends, and
some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland's 0
German Bitters were recommended by persons who had
tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters
induced me also to try them. I most confess that I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and
one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm
off sweetened and drugged liqnor upon the community,
in a sly way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that
yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with
happy effect. Its action was not upon only the stomach,
but upon the nervons system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feel that Ihavederivedjgrest and permanent benefit from
the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yS *,
