Ministerial support.


This is the season of the year in which pleasant
interchanges Of gifts are made among friends and
all the kndier feelings of the human heart find e-
preston. We are pleased to learn that the good
people of our town and neighborhood have not for
gotten their ministers. The pastors Of the Lutheran
and German Reformed churches have received large
contributions in the way of provisions, fuel, and
other necessaries.
These are times which tell severely on the pastors
of country churches and they must suffer unless their
salaries are increased or relief comes in some other
way.
1t is matter of amazement that people with large
incomes, every want supplied, and large provision
made for the future, should allow their ministers
be burdened with care, depressed by anxiety, and
untitled By positive and present suffering for their
work. But it is gratifying to know that there is
growing disposition to increase salaries or otherwise
provide for the necessities of clergymen and their
families. We have heard of minister who recent
ly received purse Of one hundred and fifty dollars
from his people. One church, few weeks since
added six hundred dollars to the salary they promis
ed year ago. Another very small congregation
advanced their pew rents to a thousand dollars and
provided pleasant parsonage.
But when we began to write simply intended
10 call attention to a short article we have taken
from one OF our exchanges. It reads as follows:
A correspondent has sent us a paper containing
two pages from minister's expense book" One
page IS taken from It in the year 1862 the other in
the year 1861 The amounts paid are for the same
things and the same extent in 1854 as in 1859. The
list Of articles We have carefully reviewed, and they
all such as are absolutely necessary in house
hold, with the exception, perhaps of one item viz
"BeneYoence, $50" We leave our readers to Judge
whether this is not a necessary also. The result is
worthy of notice. and We beg leave to put in very
distinct form, as follows:

Our Prisoners Dead.

During the months of August and September the
Union prisoners confined in the various Southern
)prsons died off like so many flies, and with as little
concern the part of the rebel authorities, as if
they had been of as little Importance It is said
that at Andersonville above $4,000 died A number
of Bedford county's sons have thus laid down their
lives to satisfy the insensate fends of slavery We
have not heard the names of all, and suppose that
many more than we have heard of, have suffered
alike terrible fate.
First amongst those who have famished in the
stockades of Georgia, We name Ephriam F. Barnet
of Woodberry, this county Mr.. Barnet was draft
ed time during the year 1868 and enlisted in
the service, and was attached to Company l. l49th
Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers. He
was captured somewhere in Virginia, and was con-
veyed by the rebels to camp Louton Georgia, where
he died some time in November last of Fever and
Diarrhea. Mr.. Barnet was young man of active
mind, fine talents and considerable energy and in
dustry. He was respected by all who knew him.
and his untmely end is deeply deplored by the COM
munity in which, for a series of years he had resi-
ded. He has left young wife, who in the morning
of her days, is thus shrouded with the dark and
dreary mantle of afflicton.
SAMUEs. BARNET, Of Woodberry, who enlisted in
Company A. 1S4th Regiment of Pennsylvania Vol
unteers some time last Winter, a Nephew Of
Ephraim f. Barnet died at the same place about
the time. He leaves widowed mother to
mourn his sad and terrible end
GEORGE WILSON, formerly of Rainsburg this
county, who enlisted in Capt. Compher's Company
of the 101st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers,
died of scurvy Florence, South Carolina in Octo-
ber last. Mr.. Wilson had served three years, and
was taken prisoner at Plymouth, North Carolina, on
the 30th of April last, and from that time until his
death he languished with starvation. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn over his untime-
ly fate.
GEORGE H. AcxEw, of this place. who enlisted in
Capt. Filters Company (K) of the 55th Regiment
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, died at camp Louton,
Georgia some time in November last. He was cap
tured by the rebels on the 10Th of May, 1864, at
Drurys Bluff, near Richmond, Virginia. He was
young man of promise. Death has relieved him of
a life made burdensome by starvation and mal-treat
ment. Who can read the sad and sorrowful recitals
of the suferings of these young men, without shud
dering at the atrocity of the fends who have
been revelling in Richmond A day of retribution
is near Already wall has gone up; few short
months more and vengeance is mine''
