Lewistown gazette. [volume] (Lewistown, Pa.) 1843-1944, 1862-05-21

Ra-On Sunday morning the body of a
soldier named Daniel Gilbert, was left at
the railroad station without any direction
where ne belonged or what was to be done
with his remains. Mr.. Elder. the COM
pany's attorney, and 4. w. Cogley, after a
troublesome search, concluded to send on
the body, which was rapidly decomposing,
to Boalsburg, Centre county, where it was
taken by Mr.. A. Felix In this case there
seems to have been gross negligence on the
part of the officials in the Philadelphia
hospital, where he died, in not sending
proper directions with his remains.

The Right Kind of 4 Man.

Most of our readers have experienced satisfac
ton at being fully and promptly paid for labor
If you do a Job of work and receive your pay
promptly for it without any grumbling on the
part of him for whom you have worked you en-
Joy pleasant feeling During political campaigns
printers have great amount of labor to perform,
and considerable money to expend. They have
to attend meetings and conventions, print bills
and tickets, and do many chores that we need not
name. They are rarely fully compensated for
rtheir expenditure of time, labor and money
What pay they do get comes from the candidates,
who usually pay in proportion to the income OF
their respective offices, but sometimes don't pay
at ali. Thomas B. RAlFF, by his efficiency and
gentiemanly department, has gained the rcputa
ton of beipg one of the best Treasurers this
county has ever had. Some time ago we were
asked by MIR. RAIFF what we would charge him
for campaign printing. We replied that we would
like to have about twelve dollars To this Mr.
RAIFF objected, saying, it was not more than hall
enough and instead Of giving us twelve dollars he
handed over twenty-five dollars. Have any oi
our exchanges experienced such treatment

letter From Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Jan. llth, 1869.
1t may be well enough, in these times of
''great events in ten days" terrible onsets,
and brilliant retreats, to call the attenti ton of
your readers, occasionally, to matters not
immediately pertaining to war and rebellion
If, however, the experiment fails, you will
please notify and Your correspondent will
govern himself accordingly.
The Legislatu has met and organized on
a basis, probabably, little more partial to
the friends and adherents of the party given
to ''rugged issues" than heretofore. The only
business of Importance which has come up
for the action OF that body was the introduc
ton and passage through the lower House of
bin suspcnding all the penalties remedies,
and proceedings to be had against banks OF
issue in this State, in consequence of their
failure to pay and redeem their notes fcircl.
lation with coin. This is regarded by the op.
poncntS of the measure to be the most de.
structive of the interests of the people, among
whom the notes ofthese banks are in circula-
tion, of any ever contemplated since the es-
tablishment of the existing banking system OF
the State. Notwithstanding, SIMILAR appli.
cation was made one year ago, when there
was no war, or financial crisis, to plead the
necessity OF the measure. The true object be.
ing to favor the banks by lowing them this
privilege so as to enable them to turn theil
eSta blishments into brokers' offices, use the
coin in their vaults to "shave" the paper
made irredeemable by the suspension, and by
this means realize handsome profit to them
selves. Besides this it will enable them tc
throw upon tho country double issue of theiI
paper, while refusing to pay a single dollar
in redemption of it and, when called upon
to resume specie payment, may refuse; hay.
ing by this operation enabled themselves to
stand the penalty of their charte er.
The bill also provides, that during such
suspension tho banks shall receive and pay
out as money the demand notes of the United
States. Does not this look like making
something else than gold and silver a lega
tender In short it violates, not only the
Constitution, but in effect repeals the banking
and sub-treasury laws Of the State. Such is
the spirit Of the "sayiors' of OHIO.
! On next Monday care will be taken that
DAVID TOD gets squarely on top of the long
coveted seat. When, it is to be hoped, tho
old fellow will have his "chronic itching
cured by the application ofa overnor's cho
to the seat Of his pants. When it is over
will give account OF the affair.
Yours,
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1862-01-16

Mud Boats,


Cities generally have street railways, which
have been found great convenience. 1t is not
probable that such improvements would pay in
our enterprising town, but we think it would pay
to have boats built for the navigation of our streets
and sidewalks. They are navgable most of the
year for boats of light draft those drawing, say,
four feet of mud. With view to an improve.
ment of this kind our village fathers have declined
to have any pavemcnts made. distinguished
engineer from Coshocton was in town few days
ago. He proposed damning our sidewalks +; but
we doubt the praccability of this as well as the
possibility of procuring any person to do salts
fac ory Job. We would suggest to our town coun-
Gil, as temporary Improvement, the building of
fences along our streets that people may "coon
them,' and thus be enabled to get about town.

time since these Remedies were introduced into

klback agent in this place, informs that his
exceed those Of all other medicines for which he is
agent, combined The reason for this, is that they
know this only from the mothes Of others, but we
have used them in our own family with very best
result. For all diseases of the blood, general de-
bility, whether proceeding from sickness or from
natural Weakness. indigestion, and all kindred all
