Brief in the case of Mary Lumper, wid of Daniel County and State of Maine acts 3 March 43. & 17 June 44.
Claim, ("original," or "for increase.")
Proof exhibited, ( if original. )
Is it documentary, traditional, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance.
Husband was a pensioner under Act of 1818 at $96. At his death the widow was pensioned at $40. for 1 year service. She has subsequently been increased to 96 under Joint Resolution of 1 July '48. There is abundant evidence to prove 15- Months service, and she should have been allowed $50 instead of 40. I therefore increase it 10 per An. from 3 (If for increase.) March 43. to 1 July 48. when she was increased under Joint Resolution.
Has additional evidence been filed since the admission of the claim? If so, what?
Name and residence of Agent.

Sir,
As required in the case of Mrs. Mary Jumper's application, I forward the certificate of the Secy. of Mass. the by which it appears, that no rolls of the Company in which he served are found, of a subsequent date to Daniel Jumper's enlistment. I forward also a memorandum in his hand writing, found among his papers, which I have marked with red ink, and have no doubt of its being strictly true. — It is however corroborated by the deposi- tion of William Chipman, an old gentleman personally known to me as a man of truth & integrity, which I also forward, & presume will be satisfactory. —
I am, Sir Your very respectfully, Joseph Pope.

Dear Sir,
The declaration of Mary Sumner, dated in March, 1880, asking an increase of pension, has been received. Her husband died in 1841, after the passage of the Act of 7 July, 1838, under which she claims, and consequently if she were not living on the 3 rd March last, she had no claim to any pension at all.
Very Respectfully
Yours &c

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Daniel Sumner does not appear in any rolls in this Office, and there are no rolls of the kind called Specials left after 1780.

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone: and that said application and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances which tend to satisfy me of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.

Pension Office, October 30. 1843.
Sir,
The papers in the case of Mary Turner, claiming a pension under the act of July 7. 1838, have been examined and filed. The proofs of the date of the marriage and the identity of the claimant are sufficient. Daniel Turner was, it appears, a pensioner under the act of 1818, and enlisted, as he asserts, in 1782 as a three years man in Colonel Sprout's Regiment. As the widow's pension is a pro rata allowance, the certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts, or a certified extract from the Town Record, should be produced showing the time at which the service commenced and when it ended. He was from the town of Harrison, Cumberland County, Massachusetts.
I am very respectfully, Your obedient, J. L. Edwards

Oh bravely sweep your harps of line and pour your strains along and rise upon each burning wine in all the pride of song Shout like those gallant men of old who daring storm and foe on this blest Soil their anthem told two hundred years ago

I looked again and autumn's blast had stripped that rose of all its charms and death with withering power and clasped the babe in icy arms Now where the leafless rose bush sighs low in its grave that infant lies
How nature's cruel law I cried cuts short the hour of beauty's reign but nature's chearing voice replied they both shall live and bloom the one in spring shall go and one shall smile in the grove above

15. Singular circumstance we understand that a young lady who resides in Oxford Street, London, who has been ill of typhus fever for about two weeks past, whose case was supposed to be near fatal, took the opinion of her physician the usual preparat- ions were made for interment. She was laid in her coffin and in consequence of a heavy shower at the time there was some delay in removing from the house ultimately while the cabinet maker was in the performance of this duty the young lady opened her eyes and exclaimed where am I the astonishment may be easily conceived but cannot be described. There is but little doubt that a heavy shower prevented the burial of this young lady alive. In two days after she expired at York.
