most impossible to get their back pay. There
is fault somewhere. If'any claim against
the government should be promptly paid it is
that in favor of the widows and orphans of
soldiers.

in Maine, and ought to be as many more
We have the power in great abundance, and

biographical notice OF this eminent man, but

acquaintance scattered all over our common
wealth, that the sketch to-day will be read
with no less interest than the one published at
the time of his death.

hospital, speak in the highest terms of the
hihuHcsS vi utHiDcfs vi The oOciety Oh fFieuus,

sympathy, will ever be remembered with
emotions of pleasure and gratitude.

upon almost everything else. The Montreal
Witness the best paper in all-Canada East
recently raised its price from half-penny to
penny. The result was the falling off of

chiefly among the working classes-the very
