Having accidentally opened and read
letter to our better half from Mrs. Wit
tenmyer, who is on mission to the hos
pitfalls in Missouri from the Ladies' Aid
Society, we take the liberty OF extract
ing some ot4the information contained in
ii for the benefit of our readers, and hope
it may stimulate the ladies Of the State to
persevere in the good cause
The letter was written at Syracuse and
Sedaiia on the 10th and 18th inst. and
gives an account If her labors and obser-
vations with the 4th, 5tl, 9Th, sth and
9th Infantry and the 1t Cavalry Of Iowa
volunteers in tha. region q the State. -
She found them in very destitute con.
dtion and in need Of almost everything.
and although the FIVE hundred dollars
worth OF stores which she had In charge
supplied many pressing needs, much
larger amount might be judiciously ex-
pended for the comfort Of the suffering
sick.
She found the troops IN her route into
the interior Of The State In worse cond
ton than any she had visited, and she
was everywhere received with heartfelt
welcome and followed by thankful bene-
dictions. Her iabors have been arduous
and unremitting, day and night, to effect
proper distribution Of the hospital stores
and to secure their proper application.
OF the restitution of the men, and OF
the sick especially, she gives such specific
accounts under her own immediate OBJ.

An Exciting and Almost serious Ac,
cident.

AS the editor little boys were turning
the corner Of Main aud I'd street i'm u
buggy, just at dusk last evening, the
horse took fright At a sqaeaIing wagon
load Of hogs. He SHE'D to one side and
struck the buggy against a wagon, then
pitched in the other direction, struck the
corner Of the curb-stone, upset the buggy
and dashed fariously forward when Mr.
Judd, with presence of mind and eour-
age worthy all commentator and imita-
tation, sprang aud caught him blythe bit.
checked him up, and with the assistance
Of other citizens, brought him TO stand
The Oldest boy was thrown out clear Of
the buggy, and unharmcd but the
younger one was caught in the buggy top,
and was pummeled little on the
macadamized street. The prompt ard
fearless action of Mr. Judd doubtless
saved his life, as there was no chance of
MS extrieation from his perilous position
while the horse was under way Mr. Judd
will accept and can appreciate the heart
felt gratitude OF parents for the preserya.
