provides for $500 bounties to new recruits
existing before the lst Of january, and the
increase Of private soldiers monthly pay
which is now SO month, to SIG.
Thus, with the 5000 extra bounty voted by
tho Board Of Supervisors, a new recruit, en-.
listing in this county before New Years, will
get bonus of $500, and, this added to his
SIG month, will give him yearly income
Of nearly 800, and Uncle Sam pays all his
expenses of food and clothing from tho time
he is mustered in until discharged.
This is more than equal to the salaries Of
clerks and mechanics, whose expenses dur
ing the year generally exceed the amount Of
the above bounties. 1t is equal to $500 a
year salary and all expenses Of liring paid
and all clothing, fprnisked besides. Few men
are doing better than that, in the way of re-
muneration, in the counting room or work.

Through the indefatiguable labors Of Mr..
MELESDr and his assistants, Overman's large
hall, the center Of attraction, presented an
appearance that could not fail to please the
eye of every lover of the beautiful and the
artistic. The walls are festooned with Cedar.
bespangled with fifty United States flags, in
terspersed with the muskets and ACQUIRE
ments Of the Governors Guards arranged in
a manner that is pleasing, while tits very
suggestive. In this room are fifty three large
paintings and engravings, besides twenty
three large.sized photographs, This feature
of the exhibition alone making display well
worth the admission price to see. Without
intending to be invidious, we wsuld say that
two large oil portraits from G. MILLER, artist,
Dubuque, attracted universal attention and
were much admired. In this room are many
fine specimens Of needle and worsted work,
and many other articles deserving Of partic.

can procure IN excellent hot meal ct any
