to the "bone and sinew of the land" The

partly true and partly false and too often
their sentiments are. uttered for sinister pur

e pbbery Of the Wife Of Semi tor
Harlan.

The Troy (N. Y) Press Of Wednesday
evening says:
"On the 18th Of August last the wife Of
United States Senator Harlan, of Iowa, was
relieved Of her pocket book. containing $275
in bills and two through railroad tickets
from Now York to Saratoga while enter.
ing the Saratoga train at the Union depot.
As she Was entering the door OF the car
sone two or three men suddenly j,stled
against her, and on recovering herself she
found that her pocket-book had been taken
She acquainted the conductor Of her loss,
and proceeded on her Journey. The tickets
stolen were Of a peculiar design. and were
the only ones Of the kind that had ever been
issued.
"A few days after the robbery the identi.
cal tickets were presented TO the same con-
ductor by two young men, who got on board
the train in the depot. The conductor ac-
cused ,hs syoung men Of the robbery. but
offered to settle provided they would give
up the money and acknowledge the theft
This they refused to do, whom he procured
their arrest. Deputy Sheriff Lutzel berger
took both into custody yesterday on war
rants issued by Justice Flags, on the cour-
plaint of Mrs. Harlan and the conductor.
They gave their names as Michael Murray
and James Morris. They were sdmitted to
hail by Justice Parmen,e.. u ans wer before
the Grand Jury.

The Burlington Hawk-Eys publishes q
private letter from Col. ]. B. Weaver, the
gallant Colonel of the I'd Iowa infantry, the
regiment formerly commanded by Gen.
Tuttle, from which we present the following
significant and patriotic extract
Truly this is momentous period in our
country, period which is trying tho
souls Of men-an ordeal of fire. which is to
consume the dross and refine the gold. And
never in any period, since the Prophet Dan
icl pillowed his head upon the Shaggy name
Of the lion. has it been more important to
the world that the leaders Of tue people
should be men Of unbending integrity. This
is no time for party or weakened com
promisers. No time to select a man to the
highest Office in our State who is afraid 10
write the name Of the party that has made
him their candidate. Away with such men.
The people will brand him "unsound un-

at one point in the fighting our men were so
near them as to plainly distinguish General
l1ll!, and at the moment rife was leveled at
him, when one of his soldiers was seen to step
before the General and fall after the DISCHARGE.
History has but few instances of devotion like
this Duringthi melancholy war, similar
case Is known to have occurred, in the volun-
tary death OF young man in Missouri. who
took the place of another who had depend

youth who thus saved him at the expense of
his own life.-Hartord Comm Times.
