We may remark that we have accounts in the papers
from the West, Of mortal epidemic, prevailing in
tain localities there, and which appears, from The
counts, correspond with this. Ii stated there that
the disease is chiefly confined to young persons.
The inhabitants Of Sutton and MiIbury have recently
been much alarmed by the appearance OF very sngu

PENSION LAWS.

Among the documents ordered to be printed by
the last Congress, was one embracing the Pen.
sion Laws now in force, together with certain
regulations touching the subject. A brief alb
stract oil he more important features OF these
laws, is in substance as follows:
In substantiating a claim all evidence shall be
taken on oath or affirmation, before the Judge of
the district, or one of the judges of the State or
Territory in which the claimant resides ,or before
some person specially authorized commission
from said Judge.
Pensioners in States and Territories where
there no pension agents are to be paid at the
seat Of government.
Volunteers disabled in service are to be PEN
stoned.
Pensions are granted to all officers who served
to the end of the Revolutionary war in the CONT
mental army.
The widow or children are entitled to receive
the balance due in the case of deceased pen.
sioner
Provision is made for all persons who served six
months in the army, militia or navy during the
Revolutionary war.
Widows and orphans of officers and soldiers Of
the militia, rangers, tencibles and volunteers
who have died since 1918 are entitled TO FIVE
years half pay.
The widows OF Revolutionary officers are al
lowed pensions for the time that they remain un
married.
The brothers and sisters of deceased soldiers OF
the Mexican war are entitled to the land which
would have been claimed by the soldier if liv-
ing.
InvaIids OF the navy are allowed pensions.
Five years pensions, amounting to half the
monthly pay TO which the deceased was entitled
at the time of his death, are allowed to widows
and children OF navy officers slain in service
The same is true with regard TO all persons slain
in the naval service, including men, marines, en-
gineers, hrelnen, and coal beavers.
In the document before us, there are great
many technical regulations, for which we cannot
find room, but we may venture to suggest that
all persons who feel an interest in the pension
laws may obtain copy OF the document by ad-
dressing member of Congress, or by applying
to the Secretaries of War and Navy or the Home
Department.
