| THE DRAUGHT.—Among the citizens of Boston whom the wheel of fortune has summoned to the service of their country are six policemen, the incumbent of a church, a postmaster, and a poet. In Rhode Island several coloured men were drawn, also a Catholic priest, and the editor of Providence Journal is “in for it.” The latter writes in his paper :—We thought we had some friends, but we had no idea that they were so many as called to congratulate us yesterday afternoon. And how delightful it was to find such a surplus of editorial talent in the visitors, and such kindness of heart as to offer to fill our place during our temporary absence of three years in the army! In 15 minutes we were so fortunate as to come into our office two or three gentlemen ready to take the 'heavy leaders,' one witty paragraphist, one reliable gentleman, one intelligent
contraband,²
one deserter, who had always been a Union man, and one veracious lady who had escaped from rebeldom. I was cheering to think that so much help was so promptly at hand in the emergency.”
|
| ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—Early on Saturday morning last, Constable M'Caughan and party, of the Omagh Constabulary, made a seizure of a still, still head and worm, in full work, together with 270 gallons wash, and a number of utensils, in a glen in Botera, within a few miles of town. They also succeeded in capturing two men named Peter Hughey and James M'Carroll, who were brought before R. D. Coulson, Esq., R.M., and summarily convicted in a penalty of £6 each, or three month's imprisonment. The fines not being paid, prisoners were committed.—Derry Journal. |

One of the women in the bazaar market, proved that she bought the two pints from the prisoner.
The prisoner said that she was a servant of Mrs. Mulroney's ; that Mrs. Mulroney owed her some wages, and that she took the pints before her face.

| INCIDENTS OF THE DRAUGHT.—A man in Acton [Massachusetts], having a presentiment that he could be drafted, went to Boston, enlisted, and secured his bounty ; his name was the first drawn. Yale College is called on pretty loudly ; eighty students and several tutors and professors had their names on the roll of honour. A grocery store in Worcester completely drained, all the proprietors and clerks being draughted. A lady in Cambridge has sent three sons to the war, two of whom have been killed in battle, and the third died from sickness. A fourth has now been drafted. Many are the expedients to which the draught has given rise. One draughted man procured a substitute by giving him 200 dollars and an insurance on his life for 1,000 dollars. If he falls within a year, the substitutes friends are to receive 500 dols., and the other half is to be reserved by the insurer. If he serves his time out and comes home with honour, the life insurance policy is given to him. More than 1,000 persons, whose names have been published on the papers as having been draughted from Boston, have left for the British provinces.—Springfield Journal.

Mr. Barker expressed his willingness to accept bail, the prisoner himself in £100, and four sureties in £25 each ; but as it was not forthcoming the prisoner was removed, at the same time protesting his innocence. |
