Wars.-The undersigned having established per-
manent General Agency at the seat Of Govern
ment. for the prosecution of claims against the
United States, continues to give his usual prompt
attention TO all business entrusted to his care
The success he has achieved in bringing about
speedy settlement Of old claims placed in his
hands, justifes him in believing that he will be
equally fortunate in behalf Of his clients for the
future. Suspended Pension and Bounty Land
cases meet with special attention, and in no case
will fee be charged, unless the claim be allowed
and paid by the Government.
There are many representatives of deceased

lished by applying 10 the subscriber.

THE COMBAT.

D1scoNsoLATE and haggard, Irvine paced
up and down his gloomy cell, with no hope
Of ever again seeing his unhappy family;
for in a few moments at most his course
would be fnished-the bandits w5re already
preparing to execute him. He knew no
peace-awake or asleep, dread and awful
presentments and anguish swelled his heart.
That grim dungeon, savored not one single
ray OF hope, for his desponding heart
Those weeping walls spoke nothing of CON
ISOLATION to his dying spirits--naught but
DEATH deathW DEAfH!!-BIood for Blood,
did they proclaim, Ever grim thoughts OF
the Bandits torture, narrowed up his soul,
while they haunted his fevered mind; or
hrrled their ranking poison to his anguish
ed heart. Anon, he would think of his
bereft and sorrowing wife-of the pangs Of
grief and anguish she must endure, at his
mysterious departure and prolonged ab-
sence; anon Ills fair and innocent Flora
would claim thought, and that thought,
OIL how it wrung his heart with agony, to
think that he must die naurderer'S death
by the cruel tortures Of set of heartless,
principleless, ignoble men, and leave his
fair daughter to be tossed and buffeted PEN

In the education of a business man Il must

care must therefore, be taken that the

honors, that the feelings be not suffered TO

OF monsy-two very important things to
know. Whatever Of conceit he may have
brought from the village academy is sooh
rubbed out Of him.. He learns to obey, to

without anger, and TO bear contradiction with

"The People" are always quoted as au-

means forty or fifty Wing Teachers, and it
may be one or two soft headed Democrats
who have assembled themselves under the
title and style of the Teachers Association
and who recommend one Lorin Andrews for
State School Commissioner. And these
half hundred individuals are now, for Whit
