H The Government is every
where closing up its Hospitals, and
disposing of Quartermaster stores
and other property. Immense num-
bers Of horses, mules, wagons, am
balances, harness, lumber, &C., DC,
are now offered for sale at the various
posts where they had Accumulated
during the wat. An immense sum
of money will be realized to the Gov
eminent by these sales, and sufficient
funds be raised thereby to liquidate
the create portion of Indebtedness at
many of the posts. At Galllpolis
very extensive sales are about to
commence, and continue from day to
day until all is sold. If this fund is
properly applied, good many per-
sons now holding Vouchers, may ex-
pect to have their money paid them,
of which they have so long been de-
prived.

7-3O BONDS

Ist Question. Why is this loan called "seTen
Thirty loan?
Answer. 1t bears interest, in currency, at
the rate of seven dollars and thirty cents,
each year on every Hundred dollars.
ID. Ques. When and now can they be OBJ
tained7
Ans. They are for sale at par, at the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GALL
POLLS.
Sd. Ques. When is the interest payable, and
how can it be collected
Ans. On the 18th of June and 18th Of De-
cember of each year, and can be collected
through the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
GALLlPOLIS.
4th Ques. When must the Government pay
of these 7-3Os2
Ans. Three years from 18th of June. 1865.
5th. Ques. Must receive back my money as
soon as 1857
Ans. No! not unless you prefer to do So
the law gives you the right to demand from
the Government, at that time, either your
money, or an equal amount at par in $50
Gold bearing 6 per cent loan.
9Th. Ques. III should need my money, be-
fore 1867, to invest in anything else, how
could get itf
Ans, These bonds will always be saleable,
IS the interest is paid every six months and
theg cannot be taxed by States, Counties or
Town., and this saves you from two to five
per eentNa your income,
7th. How does the Government raise the
money to pay the interest, and is it safe and
suref
Ans. The Government collects, by taxes,
internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is
nearly three times as much as ia needed to pay
the interest on all the debt, aud soon as
the war is ended, the amount not needed TO
pay the interest will be used in paying of
the debt. Our Government has paid Off all her
debt, and can easily do so again. The interest
is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt
itself is the very safest investment in the
world. 1t is as safe as mortgage on good
: farm, and pays better interest. 1t is, in
fact, First Mortgage on all lands, all incomes,
all railroad and canal bonds, and bank or
other stocks, mortgages de-, d.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
for it, and all that we have is held and firmly
bound for the payment of principal and in
: keep idle, and locked up, their gold and
greenbaeks, or purchase mortgages or railroad
stocks and bonds, which pay only or 6 per
cent interest, when these Seyeu-Thirties pay
(eounting the premium on Five-Twenties, }
over ten per cent, and are so much safer and
surer.

.H DIR. James R. Bell so long and
tatorably known to our citizens, as
connected with the Hospital at this
post, but who has been on duty at
the Hospital in Madison, Indiana,
has returned to GaFlipolis, that Hos
pital being ia process Of sbaudon-
comment. It was very extensive
numbering 81 wards and st one time
$500 patients. In few days this
number was reduced by muster out,
and discharge to about 900, all OF
whom are probably at homo to-day.
This speaks well for the Surgeon in
charge. Such activity in releasing
soldiers from the Sear{sesce monoto-
ny of Hospital life is ccuuendable,
snd should be every where adopted.
DIR. Bell by his energy and kind
attention to the soldiers under his
charge, was presented with splen.
lid silver tea set, including 500
worth of silver spoons as a testimo
NAL of their esteem. 1t seems thai
after all, soldiers are men, and have
some feelings worthy of regard OF
part of their officers. They can sp
preciate a kind word and kind treat
ment, and never fail to manifest theii
gratitude for it, by proper and fitting
returns. k

S The sale at the Hospital on
Monday, realized the sum of two
hundred and thirty dollars. Consid-
efing the kind of property solo, the
sale was remarkable one. We were
present at the close of it, and must
confess It suggested to us the pic
ture of sale Of such traps, at some
hospital in the Southern Confedera-
cy. Chairs at 25 cts. per doz-, and
rags at any thing you chose to give
for . an arnfuu, prove that nothing
need be lost, and purchasers can al
ways be found for any commodity

I'm The Court of Common Pleas

w The Court of Common Pleas
Of Gallia county, Is now in session,
Judge johnson presiding in room Of
Judge Guthrie. Very little business
of any importance is found on the
civil list. The business men of old
iGallis, seem to have other matters in
hand than hanging around courts.
This may be bad for lawyers, but is
certainly "healthy" for the people.
On the criminal side, there are two
or three cases of horse stealing. The
culprits hail from other counties.
They are likely to receive justice at
the hands Of Gallia county jury.
This is an unhealthy locality for
horse thieves.

ale shall call upon me, and | will
answer him, | will be with him in
trouble, l will deliver him, and honor
him. '-Psalm xci. 10. ..... D..
Believers sometimes fancy them
selves alone in their troubles, and they
feel sad and solitary. Christian friends
forget or neglect to call on them, and
this grievcs them. But if this page
meets the eye Of such an one. l would
say, My friend, grieve not refreshing
as the presence and spiritual commu-
nications ola fellow Christian may be,
you can do without them. For sure
" the presence of the Master is far
better than the visits of the servants (;
and he has said of every tried believer,
II ,rould be ptth him in trouble" Pre-
cious words these! But mistake not
the Lords presence can only be
realized BY faith. He never fails to
fulfill his promise, though for want of
faith we may fail to enjoy it. His pre-
sence supports when it does not com
fort, and keeps us back from evil when
it does not fill us, with joy. Blessed
Lord, thou hast ever been with thy
people in all their trials and troubles,
and thou art with every tried believer
now; and not only so, but thou wilt
deliver them in six troubles, and in
seven thou wilt not forsake them! We
find that thy grace is sufficient for US,
and as our day, so is our strength, Be
especially with us In our present trou,
bles; and not only so, but let us real
ize and enjoy thy presence, We want
to feel thy love, to enjoy the light o.
thy counlenance; and, as the result
to glorify thee in the fires. OH Jesus
as thou vast with the Hebrews in
Nebuchadnezzar's furnace, be with ui
in every fiery trial!

Curious Occupation OF a Rat.

Until last evening, says a Roches'
ter paper. wo had supposed that rats
were unmitigated nuisances, without a
redecming feature; but we were mis-
taken. Sometimes they amuse their
leisure hours by catching flies. Owen
Gaffney, Esq, called our attention TO
one early last evening, which was en-
gagged in that occupation in the front
window of a liquor store on Buffalo
street The animal was lying in wait
between two champaign baskets, with
only his head exposed, and when fly
made its appearance on the glass in
front of him, he would make dash at
it, and seldom failed to secure bis prize.
Several gentlemen gathered around to
witness the sport, but his ratship. did
not seem to feel any alarm at their
proximity. He was cunning enough
to know that they could get at him
konly by breaking light Of. glass, and
Esorhs pursued his game fearless OF in.

A Snake Story.

] have read most astonishing sto-
ry Of a snake, which | will relate, TO
show the wonderful forethought dis
played by the reptile in question. II
Is well known that snakes are fond of
milk. There was once a, snake, not
exempt from this weakness Of his fol-
low reptiles, which hit upon the fol-
lowing ingenious expedient to crafty
its tastes: 1t visited room in which;
a black nurse and her nursing slept,
and every night his snakesbip would
creep into bed eunningly, insert the
tip Of his tail into tie babys mouth to
amuse it, and prevent its crying;
while the hideous reptile substituted
itself for the infant, which it thus de-
prived Of its natural food, the nurse
slept on unconscious Of having such
INDUSTRIOUS nursing. This went on
for some time, until the infant, being
cheated of half of its allowance of food,
began to thin that suspicion was ex-
cited, and an old negress set to watch
the nurse at night--the delinquent
was caught in the act, and expiated
the offence with its life, while the poor
baby, being no longer kept on short
commons. recovered its strength and
grew fine and fat as before.
Twas unfeeling enough to laugh at
this story, told me in the most pathetic
manner by lady who firmly believed
