He survived about two hours. Deceased was unmarried, about 23 years of age, and a resi dent of Elizabethtown, where his remains were taken. LANCASTER CITY AND TEN DEAFT.—George M . Kline, Esq., who, in company with Mayor Sander son, has lately been on to Washington fey the pur pose of obtaining credit on the draft for the excess of volunteers raised in Lusaster city over pre vious quotas, returned home on Thursday, with out having secured the object of their visit. They say that the authorities give as a reason for their action, that it is rendered necessary by the fact that nearly every county and town was claiming exemption from the draft on similar grounds ; if one plane was exempted, all• would have to be, and the consequonet would bs that no men whatever could be procured from the present draft. The "Inquirer" says that the draft will therefore im mediately proceed in the city, and conscripts must pt6para to de ens of three things.—pay $3OO, get exempted, or jump into a snit of Uncle Sam's broadcloth and march forth to glory and hard tack • DRLEGAIII NONlNfilt—We republish a list of .the persons nominated at the various ward meet ings on Saturday evening last, who are to be voted for this evening as delegates to theeonnty conven tion. which meets in this place on Tuesday.

Binger, Patrick M'Netf. MIS Kumar Quasrion.—The bearing of the butchers, twenty-oue or sore iv 441412.ker, who were summoned before Alderman Kline to answer the charge of keeping their stalls and blocks in an unclean condition, was concluded yesterday morning. The list included nearly or quite all the venders of fresh meat at the market house. The character of the evidence in regard to each sepa rate case was quite similar. It was to the effect that previous to, and at the time of the institution of the suits, the stalls were more or less filthy and unwashed. It was contended by the defendants that their stalls are now clean, which is doubtless true—but the proseeltion was based on their con dition previous to instituting proceedings against their owners. After the conclusion of the hearing, Mayor Roumfort arose and addressed a few words to those preseat, saying that he bad no personal feeling in this matter; that the butchers had no better friend than he, and that he was actuated by a desire to promote not only their interests, but also those of the citizens. He only sought to promo thq triter eats and rights of all. The magistrate then announced that he would hold the cases under advisement for a day or two. While it may be and doubtless is true that some blame attaches to the butehers themselv es , it is dear that no man or set of men can mai n t a i n strict rules of cleanliness is the crazy, dilapidated, knock-kneed, tumble-down, ruin-haunted heap of rubbish which is known by courtesy as our mar. kat house. The wind and dust play through it, the rains of heaven make a bee-line through its make-believe roof, the dogs trot over its counters, and ragamuffins and belated night-prowlers sleep and spew there, and administer top-dressing to its rich and Odorous soil. To attempt to be very neat in such a place is much like spreading a pig pen with Brussels carpet. It is casting pearls before swine. A large and commodious house should be erected where the present one stands, with doors (all markets should have doors) and wide roofs. The second Beer would serve an admirable pur pose as a tow() ball, a lecture room or a school Mu. Let our citizens bestir themselves in this matter, and put up a market house that will be a credit to themselves and an incentive to the butch ers, and not, as it now is, an eye-sore and a stench in the 1 19ttriis of the community, EXAMINATION OF CONSCRIPTS begin to-day a list of the drafted men examined before the En rolling Beard in this district, with the result of such examination—showing who were exempted, who paid commutation, who furnished substitutes and who failed to appear.

A writ of habeas corpus was recently grantee by Judge Cadwalla der, of Philadelphia, on the application of a drafted nean,whose name is Robertson,and who was enrolled as Obertson. The matter was laid before the board of enrollment of the Second District, and they de cided that, as the residence was -correctly given, the misspelling in the name did not make such a difference as to exempt the person. In the case of Cornelius M'Call, before the United States Dis trict Court, some months ago, where tho finlike wee enrolled as "Neely M'Call," the Court decided that the misnomer was fatal, and the conscript was discharged. From this it would appear that the misspelling of a drafted man's surname exempts him, but the incorrect spelling of a . Christian name "does not make such a difference as to exempt the person." It used to be that the Christian or family name was considered the important one, but some of the wiseacres of this age have upset that old fogy notion and turned the ease "end for end."
