The members of the legislature do not re-
ceive the prospect of an extra session with
the wildest enthusiasm, for, according to the
constitution, they would receive nothing for
attending an extra session except their
mileage, which, in the case of the members
' from Hartford. would be nothing, while the
New Fairfield members would get $48.50,
and as the extra session would last from ten
(lays to two weeks, the members would have
to get fat principally on glory.

A New Grape.
At Hoyt’s Nursery they have a new and
exquisitely flavored grape called the ‘-Green
Mountain Grape.” It is green in color, but
earlier in ripening and far richer in quality
than the famous “ Niagara” of the same
peculiar green color, about which fruit cul-
turists have created so nmch excitement.
As we understand it, the Hoyts will have
no vines to sell before next year, but the
new grape is certainly a great acquisition.

Cometock’a New store.
It must be a delight to do business in, as
it is to visit, such a great and ample store as
the new and beautiful salesroom of Comstock
Bros, in Masonic Building, certainly is.
Saturday it was thronged all day with eager
customers, and Saturday night it was fairly
jammed with hungry buyers. Good goods,
ample varieties and fair dealing always,
coupled with the happy effects of the finest
salesroom in town or county, have their due
.effect on the minds and tastes of customers
and the public. Crowds of townspeople
wended their way up to this store from the
“ East Side,” Saturday night, to behold the
electric lights and grand army of customers
thronging it.

The Sewers.
Amid all the inconvenience and vexations'
of the sewer enterprise, it should be born in
mind that our borough officials are pushing
it along with all possible dwpatch and with
a watchful care that all is done according to
contract and for the best interests of the
tuxpaying public. Days and weeks of time
are freely given by our Warden and Bur-
gesscs without one cent of remuneration.
Their only hope of reward for time, spent and
the inevitable fret and worry, is the hope of
meeting the gratitude of those they thus
serve. All this is something to consider
when we are disposed to find fault with
present temporary inconvenience and
digging up our streets.

The Gedney House.
This delightful New York hostelery,
situated on the northwest corner of Broad-
way and Fortieth street, and - presided
over by Norwalk’s popular caterer, Chas.
DcKIyn, is well worth a visit from any of
our good Norwalk people, who find it
necessary to remain in the city over night.
Its rooms are large and cool, and the en-
tire house wears an air of home comfort
in every department. Its table is con-
ducted on the European plan, everything
is of the best quality and well cooked and
well served, and above all is scrupulously
clean and at very reasonable prices.
Don’t fail to give it a trial.

Runaway Accident.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Geo. Jennings,
of Flax Hill, city, hired a horse and
phazton at Solman’s stables, and took his
wife and little boy for a ride over Rotou
Hill towards Darien. When opposite the
residence of Mr. George I. Keelcr his ox
team came out with a cart load of ice
covered with white sail cloth. This ter-
ribly frightened Jennings’ horse, and he
dashed out of the road way and threw the
occupants of the carriage into the stone
well. Mr. and Mrs. J. were quite serious-
ly torn and bruised, but not dangerously
hurt. Their little son, a very bright and
interesting child, was more seriously in-
jured, but it .is hoped not fatally. The
horse ran furiously on, dashing the buggy
to atoms, and finally leaped over the fence
and into Keeler’s ice pond near the old
Abram Youngs place. Here the fright-
cncd animal was captured, half buried in
- mud, but not seriously disabled.

The Poughkeepsle Bridge.
Much of the iron work on the west shore
cantilever arm has been raised, pier two in
the river is about completed, pier three has
been commenced, caisson four has been
dredged close to permanent foundation, and
caisson five has been dredged down out of
sight. Last week the first bent of what is
supposed to be the largest traveler ever
erected in this country or Europe was raised
amid great rejoicing. both from all kinds of
vessels in the water and from onshore It
is over ninety-six feet in height and weighs
twenty-five tons. The top of the false work
on which it is raised is 133 feet above high
water, which makes the top of the bent 231
feet above high water. Three more bents
of the same size will be raised immediately,
and then the work of putting up all of the
iron work of the bridge from pier three to
the west anchorage will begin and be com-
pleted before December 1.

A Former Norwalk Man Killed.
A dispatch from Lockport, N. Y., says :—
James Scribner, an old and respected citizen .
was thrown from a carriage Sunday after—
noon, and was killed. Mr. Scribner had
just harnessed up a young horse and had
taken his seat in the carriage when the ani-
mal bolted, running down an alley. The
carriage collided with a stone, post, throwing
Mr. Scribner out. He struck on his head,
producing concussion of the brain, and-died
in an hour, without regaining consciousness.
He was born in Westport, , Conn., in 1813,
and had been resident here for many years.
He was the head of one of the largest cloth-
ing establishments in Western New York.”
Mr. Scribner will be well remembered
by the older rcsrdents of Norwalk. Some
40 years ago he ran a tailoring establishment
over what is now Blascer’s store, but at that
time the dry goods store of C. J. Gruman.
He was the brother of Charles and Joseph
Scribner, who removed many years since
from the border line between Norwalk and
Westport. to Randall, Wis. ”James, when
a business man in Norwalk, was a person
whom everybody esteemed, and his sad
death will be lamented by all who remember
him here.

Rev. Isaac Jennings.
Rev. Isaac Jennings died on Thursday,
the 25th inst., at his home in Ilenniu ton,
Vt. Born in Trumbull, Conn., July ‘4th,
1814, he was in his 7311 year. He gradu-
ated from lale in the class of ’37, and had
for his classmates Hon. William M. Evarts
and Chief Justice Waite. He studied the-
ology at New ilaven, and was ordained
pastor of the 2d Congregational Church,
Akron, 0., June 14. 1843. His next pastor-
ate was in Sfamfi rd, Conn., where he was
installed Sept. 1, 18:17. On April :36, 1853,
he entered upon the pastorale of the First
Congregational Church, llennington, Vt.,
which continued till his death, 34 years. A
pastorate at such an important centre, and
of the oldest church in the State, and pro-
longed for so many years, is itself the high-
est commendation.—Religious Herald.
Mr. Jennings was much respected as a
pastor in Stamford, and as a member of the
h‘airtield ’West Association. 5. 11. s. n.

The Next Revenue Plank.
Congressman Scott expresses the hope that
the Democratic revenue plank in the next
national platform will be similar to thatjust
adopted in Pennsylvania. That plank, and
all other promises, pledges and theories, will
be more punk in 1888. The Democratic
platform upon the question of tax reduction
will be written in the next session of Con-
gress. For twelve years now the Democratic
party has bcen'demandinga reduction of the
war taxes, and pledging itself to stop the
surplus. For the greater part of this time
it has had control of the lower house of
Congress, in which revenue measures must
originate. And not once has it passed a bill
through that house reducing the taxes.—

“Golden” Anniversary. .
The Norwalk Baptist Church celebrated
its fiftieth anniversary on Wednesday, Slat,
inst., when many of its old members again
congregated to shake a friendly hand and
recall the many events that have trans-
pircd since the early struggles of its exist-
once.
The services commenced at 2 o’clock p.
m., with prayer by the Rev. W. C. Ulyat,
who was pastor of the church from 1853
to 1856, at that time a young man, but
whose hair has since grown gray in the
service of the Master. Although many
of the oldest members'havc passed from
earth to a betterlaud, many of the younger
ones—some of whom were led by him
down into the baptismal waters—still re.
main to give him a friendly greeting.
The afternoon service's consisted of
sketches of its earlyhistory, reminiscences
of past events, memorials of departed
ones and statistics of its rise and growth,
showing its struggles in adversity and its
rejoicing in prosperity.
First—A sketch of its early history, by
Alonzo C. Arnold, the only survivor of the
original fifteen constituting its first mem-
bership. This was followed by a beauti-
ful description of the labors and prayerful
efforts in church and missionary works of
the grandmothers, by Miss Hyatt. James
L. Ambler reada memorial of many of
the early church fathers, including deacons
and laymen, with an interesting iiccount
of their stately and dignified appearance,
and many peculiarities and noticeable
characteristics as they appeared to his
boyhood days. But the-crowning effort
was a historical poem by H. M. Prowitt,
formerly a member and for many years
leader of the choir, showing the ancient
method and progress of church nlusic.
First without instrumental music, aided
only by the tuning fork and wand for heat-
ing time; also each innovation and change
that took place in spite of deep-rooted
prejudice. The bass viol was first intro-
duced, then the flute, and as later inven-
tions revolutionized public sentiment,
licsc instruments were crowded out and
discarded to give place to the melodcon,
first in its primitive form, succeeded by
one more improved. Soon the musical
taste demanded a reed organ, which pass-
ed through stages of improvement. until
nothing but a grand church organ would
satisfy the fastidious public.
Each change was fully demonstrated
with actual music by survivors of his an.
cieut choir, and again the old church rang
with heartfelt worship and melodious praise
to God.
After the reading of a statistical report
of each pastorate during the past fifty
years showing the general growth and re.
ligio us interest of each pastoral period,
down to its present earnest and devoted
pastor whose warm heart and outstretched
hand has cemented a new bond of love,
and whose sincere gospel teachings has
quickeucd new life and energy in the lag-
ging spirit of the church.
The pastors of the South Norwalk and
Rowayton offspring churches were then
invited to take part in the birthday cele-
bration of their alma mater, followed by
short addresses from former pastors of
the mother church.
At 6 o’clock everybody was invited to
take seats in the basement hall where a
bountiful repast was spread by the ladies
of the church.
At 7 o’clock a prayer meeting. conduct-
ed by Rev. Dr. McGonegal, was held, pro.
paratory to the evening services, which
commenced at 8, o’clock with reading of
scripture and prayer.
The pastor read a letter from Rev.
James J. Woolsey, a former pastor, fol-
lowed by a short address by Rev. Mr. Pot-
ter, of Hartford.
The Rev. Levi H. Wakeman, of Strun-
ford, who was'the first baptised convert
after the church was instituted, spoke of
his experience and remembrance of early
times with the church, followed by the
Rev. W. C. Ulyat and Rev. Mr. McGouc-
gal; also former pastors, and short ad-
dresses by Rev Mr. Anderson, of the
Congregational church. and Rev. Mr.
Clark, of the Methodist church, full of
good will and fellowship, holding a crowd-
ed house with interest and attention until
nearly 10 o‘clock. The Rev. Mr. Bissell
made the closing prayer when all joined
heartily in singing the doxology.
It was truly a year of jubilee, and the
jubilee offerings of members and friends
amounted to over $200. P.

Our Great Men.
The Evening Sun boils down some of
the “prominent Fairfield County men as
follows : ~
John H. Ferris. of South Norwalk, is
engaged in the coal business and banking.
Be is considered an exceptiouably good
business man, and is often appointed by
'udges of courts on important committees.
e wasa member of the Legislature of
1887.
George M. Olmstcad, of New Canaan,
was elected County Commissioner by the
last Legislature. He brings new blood
into the office. He has bright black eyes
and is full of force and energy. He has
good business abilities and will add
strength to the commission.
Col. S. B. Sumner, of Bridgeport, fa-
miliarly known as ”Sam,” is clerk of the
Superior Court and County Clerk. , He
is a poet and “one of them literary tellers.”
His book of poems has had a flattering
sale. The Colonel was a gallant officer in
the 49th Massachusetts regiment. He is a
brother of Congressman Sumner, of Cali-
forum.
Benjamin P. Mead, of New Canaan, was
a member of the Legislature of ’85 and ’87.
He is a bright business man, with a host
of friends throughout the state. He was
chairman of the oyster commission, one of
the most important in the Legislature.
thn warmed up he can 3 cak eloquent-
ly. He is about 40 years Oiil. His chest-
nut mustache resembles that of the late
John A. Logan every way except in its
color.
Henry A. Bishop; of Bridgeport, son of
the Hon. William D. Bishop, holds the
responsible place as purchasing agent of
the Consolidated Railroad. He is about
30 years old. He was a member of the
Legislature of 1886, and distinguished
himself in a rattling speech favoring the
celebration of the Fourth of July by the
boys with old fashioned enthusiasm, and
his eloquent tributes to the patriotism of
the forefathers brought down the house
with tremendous enthusiasm.
Han Kept Hens.
Oh, yes, I have kept hens. I once in
radiant, hopeful days, builded a hennery,
saying within myself, "There is nothin
better for a man than that he should eat an
drink and that he should make his soul en-
joy good in his labor." And when the last
sun of that year set on the disheartening
record of weasels, pip, cholera, rats, red
spiders, gapes, cats, predatory freedman,
bumblefoot and ministers’ conference, I
evicted the cluster of omnivorous appetites
that wandered about the place in the Disc
of hens. devouring my substance an all
adjacent substance that happened to be left
anywhere within fifty feet of the ground;
turned the abandoned hennery into a pre-
serve for coal, which was the dearest thing
then in the market", and “ looked on all the
works that my hands had wrought, and on
tho. labor that I had‘laboreé‘to do, and be-
hold all was vanity and ve‘xation of spirit
and there was no profit under the sun.”—
Bur-delta.
An Independent Religions View.
The Rev. Edgar A. Enos, lately of
Bridgeport, about. whom there was a heated
newspaper controve? concerning some
“awful innovations,” oes not seem to have
ruined him after all. He has received an
unanimous all to the rectorship of St.
Paul’s parish. Troy, N. Y., to succeed Dr.
Harrison. It is distinctly acall to “go up
higher.” We do not know the Rev. Mr.,
but we would be willing to hazard the
opinion that he is a man. When a parish
can hold a sort of a “town meeting” and call
a rector to account for every little variation
in ritual that does not meet the views of this
magnate and that, it is the part of manliness
to resist such inquisition. and Mr. Enos took
that part. That he did so, going out, not
knowing whetherlhe could go, is more to his
honor and is a renter, pledge of faithful
work to his new ock than all the distinc-
tion he has won as a thinker and writer, and
we understand he has achieved that in many
directions. ’l‘helpeace of the Lord go with
him to his new fields—Church Afflitant.

SOLDIER AND PRISON LIFE
01’ Weston Ferris, of New Canaan, Troop
13, First Conn. Cavalry.
The first battalion of the Connecticut
Cavalry was stationed in Baltimore, Md,
in the summer of 1863, (loin; provost and
guard duty; at the same time it was being
recruited as a regiment. July 61h Major
Charles Far-naworth, .with 150 men, was
ordered to report to Gen. NagIee, at Har-
per’s Ferry. July 14th Gen. Nuglce or-
dered Major Farnsworth and Capt. E.
Blakslce, with 50 men, to cross the Poto-
mac audreconuoiter the enemy’s position
on Bolivar Heights. A pontoon bridge
was laid over the river. which we crossed
a little afternoon, and followed the Shen-
andoah railroad track for some distance,
coming upon a steep bank behind some
woods about two miles from Harper’s
Ferry. After the' officers had seen the
position of the picket posts. the Major di-
vided his men into three squads, one com“
mauded by Capt. BIakslec and one by
himself. The reserve was in charge of a
lieutenant of Gen. Naglee’s staff, he hav-
ing accompanied us for the purpose of
seeing a cavalry rcconnoisance. Major
Farnsworth and Capt. Blnkslee charged
into the picket posts—I was left with the
reserve. Our lieutenant saw some “Rcbs’:
running up the Charleston pike, so he or-
dered the reserve to charge up the road,
and up the road we went. After a ride of
about a mile, in a sudden turn of the road,
we came upon three companies of the 13th
Virginia Cavalry. As we numbered but
twenty men men, and our lieutenant was
left behind us, we thought best to retreat;
I found thattmy horse was giving out, for.
he proved to be wind-broken. ‘Iu ascend-
ing a hill he came to a sudden halt without
orders, and Ifouud myself in the hands
the Rebels. This was the more provoking
us behind the bill was a brigade of our
troops. We Were hurried back to Charles-
ton, and on the way we met Major Farns-
worth and some of-his men who had been
taken prisoners. He saw us charging up
the road, and knowing the danger we
were in, tried to head us off by crossing
the fields, but he was too late. So the
Major and twenty-four of his men fell into
the hands of the “robe.” He said that if
that lieuteirant had either been killed or
taken prisoner he would not have felt so
badly. After we reached Charleston we
were obliged to turn over our horses.
After dark we were marched to Gen.
Jones' headquarters where we spent the
night in a soaking rain. The next morn-
ing we were taken to Winchester and con-
fined in the old court house, where pris-
oners were cOntinually coming in. We
saw a great part of Gen. Lee’s army pass.
On the 22d we started on our march to
Culpcpper where we were put into cattle
cars. We arrived in Richmond Sunday
afternoon, July 20th. The people crowded
the cars to see “live Yankees,” but the
guard would neither allow us to do any
trading nor permit the people to give us
anything. There were about 400 of us.
We were marched into a large building
for the night, apd in the morning we were
ordered to leave all our things in this
room, while we ascended another story.
Here we were told that if we had any
valuables or money and would turn them
over to the rebel authorities, they would
be returned to us when we were exchang-
ed. But most of us chose to run the risk
of being searched, and hid our things as
best we could. I had about $15 in green-
backs and a $2 note on a Boston bank,
which I left in my pocket-book, as I did
not fear their wanting that; my watch
and chain I hid, so I passed the search
without losing anything. But when I
went back for my havcrsack and canteen
I found them gone. When we marched
out of the building the guard made the
men throw their cups in a pile, but I saw
what was going on in time to hide mine,.
as did others. We were marched across
a long bridge to Manchester. There is no
bridge from Richmond to Belle Island,
but one from Manchester to the island.
The island is in the James River and
contains about. twelve acres; the upper
part is rough and broken. Where the
camp was, is a flat sandy plain of a few
acres. The prison was made by digging a
ditch about three feet wide and throwing
the dirt on the outside, thus making a
breast-work, behind which the guard was
stationed. Thc ditch was the “deadline.”
,lf a prisoner attempted to cross that he
was shot without aword of warning. The
enclosure was about 400 feet long by 250
wide, and was filled with old tents. The
lieutenant in charge of the prison was of
French descent and very quick tempered.
His assistants, two sergeants, were both
very cruel, hard men. We were counted
off into squads of 100 men, and a sergeant
put in charge to draw rations. I had
charge of one of the squads. A rebel
quartermaster dealt out the rations; he
was quite a dandy-looking fellow, wore
high top boots and good clothes, and was
hard on the poor “Yanks.” I have seen
him kick one of the men in the face for
picking up the crumbs of bread ‘on the
floor. It is said that be swept up the
crumbs and sold them to the prisoners.
He also had a way of keeping us waiting
for our meat. The cooks got the meat
ready and set it out in the buckets—one
to each hundred. Mr. Quartermaster
would go off in his boat to row, leaving
the meat in the hot sun in summer, to get
fly-blown, or in winter to become frozen,
while ,we poor fellows were obliged t'o
stand and wait. The cook-house was
watched by the hungry men, who longed
to get hold of even abonc. But sight did
not satisfy the knowing of hunger. The
men often crushed the bones, sucking out
all the nourishment possible. When we
were allowed to make a fire in the camp
the men boiled the bones and made soup.
If a bone was thrown out into the dirt,
some poor fellow would pick it up and try
to getaliltle sustenance out of it. The
rations On Belle Island were dealt out
twrce each day. The food was prepared
by our men outside the camp in a cook-
house made of rough boards; they had
large iron boilers in which they made the
soup; the bread was made in Richmond
and sent over in a large barge. About 9
o’clock in the morning we drew bread and
fresh beef—~25 loaves for 100 men. Each
squad was divided into five messes with a
man to divide the rations, each one getting
a quarter of a loaf and about two ounces
of beef. About 4 o'clock the supper was
dealt out; it cons istcd of thusamc amount
of bread and about. a pint Of soup. The
soup was made of James River water with
alittlc rice or bonus (they called them
peas). Each 100 drew five buckets of this
soup. As the rebels took away our cups
it was rather inconvenient to get the soup,
but some out off their boot legs, either
puttingapiccc of wood in one end or
sewing it up, time making a very nice,
savory bucket ; others made wooden pails.
The rations were very small fora hungry
man and he certainly would not grow fat
on them. Besides the cooking was of the
poorest kind, the bean soup was often full
of bugs, as each bcun had a tenant and
the rice was full of worms. Most of the
timeI spent on the island,I constantly
felt the,knawings of hunger. The water
was very scarce in the prison, at first they
only had a barrcl sunk in the ground. In
the middle of summer the men kept the
water all dipped out,jund then had to wait
their turns to gct a drink. It seemed
rather hard to see water on both sides of
us and yet so little to quench our thirst.
Th'ey had on onesidc of the camp 11 lane
built (a high board fence) to the river,
where were the sinks; at night only a
few were allowed out at a time, and when
cold weather came on none were per-
mitted out after dark, and the camp pre-
sented a most filthy appearance in the
morning. ,,
The prisoners did a great deal of trad-
ing with the guard. They bought tobacco
and biscuit |in :Riclnnoud', and at night
they threw thcm over the bank to the
“Yanks." Grecnbacks were in great de-
mand. All the guards were anxious to
trade, but if the lieutenant and his scr-
gcant caught‘lhcm at it they confiscated
the money or goods. One day the ser-
geant caught a Yank trading with the
guard ; he jumped over the bank, collared
the Yank, and marched him to the licu-'
tenant’s tent to search him, but he did not
find his money. He had. a ten (loilnr
greenback which he put in his vest pocket,
and taking a great quid of tobacco from
his mouth thrust that into his pocket. on
top of the note; the sergeant stuck his
flugcrsinto the fresh quid and snapping
them, hittbc Yank a kick, saying with a
fearful oath} “Get back into camp, you
nasty cuss." Sometimes the guard would
“play it on” the Yanks and get their
money, not making any return, but usually
they- dealt fairly. On the other hand
some of the Yanks also cheated. They
made a ten dollar note out of one, twenty
out of a two. Somc made “shin plasters
with colored crayons, but these could only
be passed in the dark. The oply way in
which they kept the account of the pris-
oners here was to turn them all out of
camp and count them as they calne in.
About once in a month an officer came
over from Richmond and counted the
prisoners in this way, as each hundred.
passed in he set it down in his book. The
two rebel sergeants stood at the gate as
We went in, and if any of the poor lame
fellows did not step fast enough for them,
they hit them a whack with a stick or
whip. It was usually an all day’s job to
be counted, and a very tiresome one for
the men -
As the cold weather began to come on
.we suffered greatly. . The men who were
captured in hot weather had on very light
clothing. When we left Baltimore we
were ordered to leave our heavy blankets
and overcoats. I had only a small horse
blanket and as light clothing as possible.
Mp blanket was pretty well worn out by
using it to draw our bread rations in, and
the bugs that came Out of the sand had so
eaten holes in it that it had the appearance
of having been riddled by bullets. My
boots were worn out, so that I was nearly
barefooted. To stand on the frozen
ground in this condition was very uncom-
fortablc, to say the least. In this way I
contracted the rheumatism in my lower
limbs and suffered greatly, especially
nights. But in November and December
our government sent us some clothing and
blankets. On November 1, I drew a pair
of shoes and stockings, also a cotton shirt
and drawers, and felt quite happy. Do-
ccmber 27th I drew an overcoat and a
blanket, and lalso obtained one of the
clothing boxes, out of which I made a
floor to lie on. Although it was not very
soft, it made quitc'a comfortable bed, and
I suffered less from the rheumatism. But
one night some vrllain came along and
snatched one of our blankets ; it happened
to be the one belonging to my chum.
There were many thieves in camp who
would steal overcouts and blankets and
sell them to the guard. It was about the
same as murder to steal a man’s . blanket.
After that we tied the blanket to us so
that we could hang on, and they would
have to take us in order to get the blanket.
We had to go “skirmishiug,” as the boys
called it, every day. The gray-backs
(human vermin) wore so very plenty that
the sand seemed to full Of them. If we
did not search our clothes daily, we would
be eaten up by them.
We had rumors of cxcha ago very often,
but hope almost died out, as month after
month slowly dragged along, and so cou-
tinually added to our numbers. After we
came to the island, two squads of about
400 were sent off for exchange, and once
after, the sick Were taken out. Had we
known then what was to follow, I think
many more would have been sick. Some
of my companions were of that fortunate
number.
In December Major Furnsworth sent
over a box of provisions for me to divide
with the men; he had received it from
home and desired to share his good for-
tune with his men, he also sent over some
money with which to buy in'cad. This
kindness did us a great deal of good. The
tea and coffee were luxuries for which we
were truly thankful. On January 27th
Major Farnsworth came over to the island
to see the boys. The ofliccr dealing out
the clothing was allowed to bring one of
the officers from Libby each day with him,
thus giving the ofllcers one day outside
the prison walls. They were not allowed
to enter our camp, but the men were call-
ed out one ata time to see and have a
talk with them. He told me about the
tunnel they were digging out of Libby,

also gave me a map to show the way to

He was quite hopeful and it did me much
good to see him and have a talk with him.
He gave me a ten dollar greenback, which '
helped me to procure some medicine as
well as food, he also gave me some books
which were very acceptable, as reading
matter was scarce with us. A great many
men froze to death; others froze their feet
or toes. Then, to add to our misery, the
rations grew poorer, the beef gave out cu.
tirely and we got miserable, coarse corn
bread, row turnips, a few sweet potatoes,
corn meal, soup, etc. So great was our
hunger, we didenot question about the
the quality of the food the guard brought
to sell.
of the residents of the island, died, and
the guard sold them to the Yanks. The
Lieutenant had a dog that he seemed to
think (a great deal of; it was fat and did
not look as if it had been fed on half ra-
tions, as we did. One morning all the
Lieutenant found of his dog was the skin
and tail, but he could not ascertain the
guilty one. -

A Novel Bet. _
While I am not a betting man said F. J.
Cheney, ot the firm of F. J. Cheney &Co.,
Iconsidcr it my religious duty to make
that fellow a bet ; you see he was about
dead, and I guess he would have died
before Spring if I. had not got him on the
bet. '
lose their life than lose a hundred ; well
he was one of that kind,aud we both
came near being out, but I saved my
hundred and it only cost him tcn dollarst
How’s that? He sent'for me one day,
and said the doctors had given him up to
die with the catarrh. I told him that I
would bet him $100 that Hall’s Catarrh
Ourc would curc him orI would give him
$100 if it failed. He took the latter
proposition. This was three months ago.
You see how he looks now, don't you?

O
. War on the Saloons.
It is a well-known fact that the most in-
fluential Republicans of New York, like
those Of Massachusetts, are openly com-
mitting themselves to hostility to the liquor
interest as a settled tenet of the party. Tneir
sincerity will, in all probability, be shown
by rec-(ignition of the Anti-Saloon move-
ment in the State platform and on the ticket
this fall. Good politics, as well as good
public morals, dictates such a course. -Min-

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
loamucn higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the.
disability increases each year. As tune passes the.
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many;
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs.
that pensioners are unjustly or crrcnpously re-.
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not; set forth in,
his original declaratlon. The ppnsion laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
~stating. by 'whom it was presented, I will obtain a '
rehearing of your case, amt, if it has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement. Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers sdferi'ng with disabilities
contracted '1' 22. service, who have not applied for (r
pension, should do so as It is thei 1' RIGHT. '
