Ilead-Quarters Volunteer Rifle
Corps of Connecticut.
HARTFORD, Jan. 22, 1864.
General Order, No. 1.
Having been assigned by His Excellency,
the Commander-in-Chief‘, to the duty of re-
cruiting and organizing the Volunteer Rifle
Corps of this State, I earnestly appeal to the
young men of Connecticut to come forward
and enroll themselves under the Militia
Law. The system under which the corps
will be organized offers inducements of no
ordinary character, making duty a pleasure,
securing to every member of the corps a
knowledge, the benefit of which will be in-
calculable, creating an esplrt't du corps with-
out which military bodies can never attain
that efliciency which is essential to vitality.
The organization of the corps will be made
as follows: Companies consisting of
‘ 1 Captain,
1st Lieutenant,
2d Lieutenant,
5 Sergeants,
8 Corporals,
and not less than fifty nor more than eighty-
three privates. Battalions of not less than
four companies. Regiments of not less than
eifht companies. The corps Will be armed
w th rifles, and equipped by the State. The
unifbrm will be designated hereafter, the
Cost of which will not exceed fifteen dollars.
As soon as companies are enrolled, organ-
ized, armed and equipped, the commissioned
and non-commissioned officers will receive
instruction in the School of Musketry, under
. .competent instructors, should th so desire.
It isintended to locate in each imental
District of the State a “Rifle ractice
Range,” where the men shall by practice he-
come expert in the use of their arms. A
system of prizes will be adopted, similar to
that of the British Volunteer Rifle Corps,
whichwill be awarded to regiments, com-
panies and individuals, contests for which
will. take place each year. It is the desire
--of His Excellency, the Governor, to obtain
from the people a military corps that shall
be'second in point of intelligence, drill and
discipline to none other. It is, therefore, my
determination to inspire, if .possible, the
same spirit among the young men of a State
whose historical record must be the peculiar
pride of her sons. The events of the past
and the present should lead every citizen to
adopt as his motto “Semper Paratus.” 'To,
this end I shall endeavor to elevate the
morale of the militia service to the highest
possible standard, devoting my whole time
and energy, relying on the people of Con-
necticut for that support which the impor-
tance of the case demands.
Applications to raise companies in pursu-
ance to this order must be made to these
head-quarters in writing, accompanied by
the written indorsement of three or more
citizens of the towu or county in which the
applicant may reside. Muster rolls will be
forwarded from this office.

WARREN's IMPROVED FELT, CEMENT AND
GRAVEL ROOFINe.—We refer to the above
roofing, believing it to be decidedly the
best, most durable and cheapest known in
this country. the merits and popularity Of
which are so perfectly demonstrated about
the village that” we refer to it, thinking that
We may thus confer a favor upon our read-
ers and the public generally. Very many of
our best buildings are covered with this
material; our own being one of the number.
Materials which are liable to be confound-
.ed with this have long been in use for cov-
ering factories and barns, &c., but never un-
til this recent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.
C. W. Lockwood is sole agent for Fair-
field County. All orders left at the Store
of A. Moorehouse, Main Street, will receive

other Wringer made. If we could not get
others we would 'not let them go for four
tim’es-their‘cost; in fact we consider them
invaluable, and advise every family to get
one, as they are economical, as well as use-
ful. They enable the washing to be done in
one-third less time, and save their cost by
saving clothes about twice in every year.
The frame being of iron thoroughly galvan-
ized, all danger from rust is removed, and
the liability to shrink, swell, split, &c. &c.,
so unavoidable in wooden Machines is pre-
vented. The Spiral Springs over the rolls

Notice.’
N PRESENTING this article to the Pub-
lic, the Manufacturers do not assert that it
will cure everything ; but for the purposes
named, and most other external applications,
they have no hesitationin saying it is the
Best Article of the Kind
yet offered—in evidence of which they can
adduce the testimony of those whose intelli-
gence and veracity are unquestionable.
The publishing of Certificates of the “Won-
derful Cures" having been of late looked up-
on as a great humbug and as the Public have
been so frequently imposed upon by false
representations, through which they have
lost all confidence in the host of quackeries
with which the country abounds, we have
concluded that this LINIMENT, after a fair
trial, may rest entirely upon its own merits.
Its effects might appear incredible but from
the high character of those whose experi-
ence in its use has confirmed our most san-
guine expectations. And upon application
at our office we will furnish names of indi-
viduals and families who have been greatly
benefitth by its use. .

PUTNAM, Conn., March 20, 1860.
Gentlemen :—I avail myself of this opportunity to
say a word in behalf of “Dr. Meier‘s Balsam of
Wild Cherry,” which I have made use of in my
family for several years, and always with the most
beneficial results. M wife being of delicate habits,
has always been tron led with a hard, dry, hacking
cough, whenever taking a little cold, and .has em-
ployed various specifics Without obtaining any
relief, until prevailed upon to test the Virtues of
Wistar’s Balsam, the effect of which has been truly
astonishing. _ . _
More than a year Since a young man belonging in
this place was taken with bleeding at Me lungs, in
connection with a most severe cough, 811d.\\'as

and was evident to all that CONsUMPTION was
claiming him as a victiml Learning thcsc_facts,
my wife sent him a bottle of the Balsam, which he
took. and in due time, to the great astonishment of
his friends, was at his accustOmed occupation,
snatched, as it were, from tlic_jaws of dcatlil In
many other cases we have administered the Balsam
to the consumptive, and always With the best of
success. These statements are simple facts, which
can be vouched for at anyI time by calling tonlinc at
