RARE CASE HoNEsTY.-The New Haven (Con)
papers chronicle Of honesty. Deacon
Nathan Beers, OF that city, in 1890 failed in business.
His property was given up TO his creditors but it was
not enough to satisfy their claims; subsequently, by
living economically, he was able to pay his creditors
ID per cent of their demands He was an officer Of
the Revolution, and is now ninety years Of age. Not
long since the Government allowed him an arrear of
pension due him Of $1,000, and increased his yearly
stipend to 5000. What did he do with the money?
Let the following letter from his creditors answer
New HAVEN Sept. 7, lS43
Dear Sir-We have received, by the hands of your
agents, the of money which YOU directed to be
paid to US, being avails of pension recently grant
ed TO GU by the United States in consideration of
your services officer in the army of the
American Revolution and cannot permit the oc-
cason to pass without returning you our thanks for
your Hberaiity We say Aberai y-ior though it is
true that many years since we were your credi-
TORS our debts had long ceased TO exist in the view
OF the law; aud, after the several payments YOU
had made, we presumed you would consider the
claims satisfied IN every point Of light as we
ourselves did. But your present action shows most
conclusiyely, that though legal rules and the prnci-
piles which ordinarily govern in their intercourse
with each other, would treat debts as cancelled
your mind was not satisfied with that course To YOU il
appeared that the demands still existed in the esti-
mat on OF pure integrity and that the obligation of
them could be thoroughly discharged only by
real payment IN full. Acting upon these inn
pressons you have advanced TO us the sums
which we have now received and while in con-
iormiiy with your wish, recognize those advances
as payments Of our debts we must at the same time
be permitted TO regrd them acts Of extraordinary
generosity, resulting from most delicate sense Of
duty. The noble qualities of the members Of the
army OF the American Revolution, which achieved
the independence Of our country and covered itself
with glory, have long been duly appreciated by the
lrIp IgftI her 10 a,Ix aVt,r. |.
sent proceeding on your part furnishes new proof
that though age may diminish the brightness Of the
Revolutionary eye, 1t gives increased energy TO the
honor and integrity of the Revolutionary heart
