Our readers have read the pathetic story
of the dead Union soldier found on the Bat,
tie field of Gettysburg with photograph of
three beautiful children firmly clenched in
his stifened hand, which has been widely
published in order to discover his identity.
This has been accomplished. We learn from
the Philadelphia correspondence of the Bull
etn that
The deceased was one Hummerton of
Portvile Catteraugus county, New York,
where his widow and children now reside.
Photographic copies of the picture upon which
the dying eyes of the warrior-father closed
have been made, and learn that large num-
bers have been sold in this city. The profits
of their sale are to be given to the widow and
her little ones / have rarely seen a more
charming group of children. Apparently
they are three, five and seven years old--the
Youngest being girl. One cannct look upon
their innocent, beautiful faces. and recall the
last moments Of their loving fathers life-a
life that went out in gentle thoughts of them,
without dropping tear to the memory of
the departed hero, and without feeling deep
sorrow for the mother and her orphaned ones.
God protect them

ABscoNDED.-The mail carrier between
Sawyer's Bar and Etna Mills entrusted the
mail and something over $1,000 to Martin
Fister to be brought over from Sawyer's Bar,
about two weeks ago. His failing to return
in the usual time caused the mail carrier to
think something was wrong. so Mr.. Dunleyy
came to Yreka and discovered that Mr.. Fis-
ter had been gone nearly week towards
the North, and that he left with about 81 600.
Fister had carried the mail before and was
always considered by Mr.. Dunlevy as very
trustworthy, but some people are very uneer-
tain Yreka Journal.
