fLEECING THE SOLDIER. - 4 lew weeks
since young man named John Sullivan was
enlisted by Lieut.. Ridlon, at the old City Hall,
to he credited OH Portland's quota. He went
to Augusta, but was rejected for being under
age. Last Saturday the same young man
went into Mr.. Haskells recruiting Office in
front of the Post Office, dressed in the Uniform
Of U. S. volunteer soldier. Upon inquiry
be said he had enlisted, that he contracted to
enlist on the quota for Gorham with T. 5.
Files and VIM. P. Merrill, who acted as brok-
ers in the transaction; that he had passed eX-
animation at Augusta, under an ossamed
name, his homage not being detected, aud he
exhibited paper to show the agreement lie
made with said Files to enlist for bounty OF
too hundred dollars, binding himself to be
placed on the quota for Gorham. We are in
formed that Gorham pays bounty Of three
hundred doltarsi Has not somebody pocket
ed one hundred dollars justly belonging to
that soldier?
