Three months Extra pay for Me .A'my.
The same rules of evidence and aulhen-
tication will be required in claims for three
months extra pay, as for arrears Of pay.
No power of attorney will be deemed
sufficient TO secure payment. unless it
shall have been executed after the 18th of
July, 1S4S, and shall refer 10 the act of
Congress of that date, granting three
months extra pay, as the basis OF the
claim.
AS the act requires payment 10 be made
to the heir alone, no claim on behalf of a
legal representative Of the. deceased SOL
dier will be allowed.
Where there are several adult heirs,
they should unite in power of attorney,
as payments cannot be dividedat this office.
Where minors are concerned, guardians
will be expected TO represent them Co
pies Of records showing the appointments
as guardians properly authenticated, will
be required
In cases now on file claiming arrears
for pay, the three months extra pay will
be included; therefore no new claim will
be required.
Where claims for arrears of pay have
been paid, or none exists, then the claim
ant should make an affidavit before Judge
or Justice of the Peace, according 10 the
following form and authorization.

FOO BAD.--The last Springfield Adver-
liser contains the proceedings OF a. meet
ing held in that place the other day, and
we potice among other things that a COM
miltee was appointed 10 draft resolutions,
&c., and report at called meeting 10 be
held on the 9th day of August THAT is
to-morrow--SUNDAY.) We had not sup
posed that the good people of Greene had
fallen into such 'shockin' bad habits, as TO
be holding political meetings on the Sab
baih.-- VsSitor.
I5Neighbor, you are certainly very
uncharitable. II may be that you had not
gumption enough 10 know that the date
was Typographical error, but we are slow
to believe il. Suffice ii to say that the
citizens Of Greene are a church-going,
God-serving people, and never thought of
such thing as holding political meeting
Oh Sunday. ---Spingfeld .Adrertiscr.
E=O, fe, brother Graves! that you
should attempt to get ou; of an ugly fix,
by expressing your belief that we had
gumption enough 10 know that the date
was typographical error The 9th day
Of August was twice mentioned in the
proceedings, without any reference 10 the
day OF the week. Now, if you had said
like some others we wot of, that the deril
had been among your type we would
have nothing more 10 say than 10 advise
you to be little more mindful of the re-
putation of the good people of Greene,
and no, be publishing them to the world,
as holding political meetings on Sunday |!
You owe your readers an apology, and
We hope you will make it in your best
style. We had almost forgot to thank
yon for your charitable opinion of our
'gumption.'
