Vols., paid our town a pop visit on Monday. He looks well and reports all favorable in his department. The Captain has been long and favorably known in this section and the narration he gives of his experiences in the army is anything but favorable to Copperheadism. Appointment The following named gentlemen compose the Board of Enrollment in this District as appointed by the President, viz: Capt. J. D. Campbell of Huntingdon, Provost Marshal; Dr. A. Rothrock of Mifflin, Surgeon; M. S. Harr, of Cambria, Commissioner. Not Dead A letter has been received here stating that Lieut. Evan Davis of Co. D, 115th Penna.
