rINHE subscriber has opened in the city of Wash
ington an AGENCY for the prosecution of
all descriptions of claims against the General

sion Laws:
Applications for increase Of pension under any

Eel ruary Cd, l84S, their claims to pensions for
life, commencing on the 4th of March, l848, when
their pensions under the foregoing acts termi-
uated.
For all those widows of revolutionary officers

fore January Cd, 1900, he will undertake to estab-
fish their claims to pensions for fe commencing
