Mr. Witte of the German Church, was called upon to shoulder a musket, as was also our friend Pat. H. Kauffman, one of tho most earnest Union men in tho town.

He should respond to the call and cheerfully do all in his power to serve tho country that needed him. John Washburne, of Florence, one of the drafted, was married only a few days ago. His marriage notice appears in another column. II. W. Knowlton, of Florence, eon of D. A. Knowlton, Esq., is selected as a fit man to wear Uncle Sam’s uniform.
