A Veteran Soldier.

Among the men enlisted with Capt.
Williams, of the regular infantry, In
Johnstown, is an old soldier who has al
service-having served nine years IN the
British service, ten In the United States
service, and three months in the recent
volunteer service as a member of the band
of the Sd regiment of volunteers from
this State. He has also four sons enlisted
in the United States service-two In Col
CampbelPs Cambria County Regiment
and two in Capt Williams Compan v
The name of this veteran soldier Is Elisha
G. Benuett. He is over As years of age,
and last week married second wife halt
his age, who will accompany him in the
campaign upon which he will soon enter
During his term of service in the British
army he visited the West Indies and Can
ada. His first enlistment in the u s.. service
from 1889 to 1844-was spent princi-
pally in Maine and Rhode Island, at
Newport Barracks. During his second term
he passed through the Mexican war, in Gen
Taylor's division Of the army, participating
in all old Zach's battles, from Palo Alto
to Buena Vista, and received his dis
at poil yy
in 1849. His entire nineteen years and
a quarters service was put in as a musi-
clan, but be entered the public service
for the fifth time as a private in the ranks
We are pleased to say, however, that sino.
his enlistment with Capt. Williams he
has been assigned the position of I'd
Sergeant, and will remain among US for
some weeks yet on recruiting service for
the Company. We question whether a
similar instance of faithful and perscvering
public service and devoted patriotism can
be found in the land, even in this most
prolific era of patriotic examples. Pass
around the name of Elisha G.. Bennett
the man who has already given nine years
to the country of his birth, ten to that of
his adoption, and now gives himself, wife
and four sons for three years more to the
support of the government Cambria
Tribune.

JUSTICE IN HoLLAND.--W hen two persons
are about to enter a law suit, they are first
obliged to go before tribunal of reconcling
judges, called the peace makers. If the rar-
ties happen to bring with them lawyer, the
first thing done is to send him about his busi-
ness-on the same principle that we take of
wood from fire we want to extinguishl The
peace maker then tells the parties, "you are
certainly great fools to spend your money for
the procuration of your own ruin; we will
bring you to an accommodation without cost
ing you one farthing." If, after this, the rage
Of litigation happens 10 be too violent in the
parties, they put them off to another day,
in order to mitigate the symptoms of the dis
order after which, they summon them a Sec
ond and a third time If their folly is then
incurable the peace makers consent that the
parties shall go into court of justice, in the
same manner that we abandon an incurahle
member to the lunacy doctors. The iaw then
takes its course No mans will and testa-
ment is valid in Holland without copy of it
being previously deposited in the Registers
Office kept for that purpose. Thus preventing
the various frauds of altering, undermining
nnte-dating and destroying, so common in other
countries.

The WAR BALLooY-Proiessor Wise is
still employed by the Government to make re-
connoisances with his war balloon. Several
ascensions have been made since the retreat OF
he Federal troops from Manassas with the
view of observing, if possible, the approaches
and position of the rebels And ascension
was made from Arlington Heights on the 24th
Of July. the third day after the battle, at
which time the balloon was distictly seen from
Washington. and watched for a number of
hours. 1t descended towards night and again
went nm next morning. This time its continu-
snce in the air was of short duration. 1t was
very near the enemy's lines, and from accounts
appears to have been drifting with a current
of air. when all at once it was seen to collapse
and fall with great rapidity, so much so as to
endanger, apparently the lives of the aero
nauts. The general impression was that 1t
had been fred into. The correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, from whose letter these
facts are gathered, thinks that the danger OF
accident from shot will ever operate as a seri-
Gus objection to the use of balloons over an
enemy's grounds for upon going near enough
to obtain a view of their works, the balloon is
within reach of three and four mile rife can
non, which, without any trouble. can be so sus-
pended as TO point upward, or IN any direction
required The rifle cannon of the Second
Rhode Island Regiment throw shot four miles,
and to be of any service balloon cannot be
one half that distance from the spot to be ex-
amned. Even at the elevation of mile no
balloonist could have discovered the batteries
at Bulls Run but not discovering them, he
might report that no such defences existed
there. The balloon may, however, be used to
great advantage in noting the advance OF
troops on the main road, and in watching the
general movements of an army during an en-
gagement.
