A widow lady has been living some time in

and still less in the nuptial ceremonies, for the
hard-hearted landlord was pressing his claim

day after the wedding the landlord called to

house, and de6ed him to bring soldiers wife

A Missouri STAKEHOLDER McClurg, a
member of Congress from Missouri, has given
written permits to four of his slaves to go into
the army securing to each of them whatever
compensation he himself may be entitled to as
loyal owner, and STIMULATING that in case of the
death of the men their wives and children shall
receive the money. He has also written letter

passage occurs: "Make your own choice If
you 60 into the army let me hear frequently from
you. Make peace with your God and you need
not fear death. If you ever fight, fight with
desperation and never surrender Enroll your
name as Caswell McClurg, and try to give honor
to it. In the army give your idle hours to learn
