A Precious SoouNDREL-Not long
since man by the name Of Litchfeld Of
Potion, G. E.. sold himself to recruiting
officer in Troy, who proceeded at once
with him to his place Of destination. The
town for which he enlisted forwarded the
three hundred dollars to one of the Sc
lectmen of Troy, with orders to pay it
over to Litchfed's wife as soon as he
should be mustered iuto the service. Suf-
ficient time having elapsed the money was
paid over to the wife of the villain Itch
fiel 4, who came for it at a very earl y hour
in the morning. 1t was afterwards ascer-
taiued thst Litchfeld had deserted and
arrived home the night before and sent
his afectionate and devoted wife after the
money She returned to home of course
much pleased with the ill-gotten treasure.
Liteh field has since been arrested by the
Canadian authorities for taking part IN
the American war, hut, we understand,
was released after stating the extent Of
his services. Quite a number of others
have, also, been arrested for similar Of
lenses. some of whom have skcdaddled to
our side for protection. How far the
Canadians intend to carry these pxosecu-
tions is yet to DO seen.-Iras6uygh STAN
