from Columbus, KY, directed to some per
son in Hillsboro. The agent notified the
person To whom it was addressed, OF there
being such box in mis- office. ana request

On Tuesday he came for 1t, and SO great
was his anxiety to see wnaI was thslee
that he opened it Immediately, when a
sight met his eye which he little expected.
In it were the following articles: A so!dler
coat. pants, drawers, shirt, cap, SHOES, piece
OF blanket, rusty and broken bayonet,
empty blacking box, scrubbing brush,
piece of mouldy bacon, hard crackers, pen
and pen holder, pair Of socks, pair OF
shoes. and a valentine, Tor which ne was
offered ten cents-the whoie making
complete outfit for a soldier, out looking as
if they had done great deal OF service.
some of "IJncle Sans Boys" hearing that
he intended to enlist, they took this oppor-
tunity of presenting him with uniform
| and sufficient rationS to do him until ne
reached the first rendezvous. IaAlng lnto

whom the box was sent is not considered
sound on the war, that he came sixteen
miles after it, and paid one dollar ana
paid one dollar and thirty-five cents TOR the
goods, bringing with him TWO morse wa,
