COLUMBUS, VI OcIoDeF 1oo0s
The undersigned, recently appointed by
the Governor Of Ohio, as Trustees of the
soldiers Home" take pleasure in an
nouncing that through the efforts of the
lamented Governor John Brough, the
United States Hospital, beautifully located
near the City of Columbus, and known as
"Tripler Hospital" was donated by the
Secretary of War to the State of Ohio for
a HSoldiers'H Home :" that the same has been
gratefully accepted through its Chief Mag
~istrate, Charles Anderson, and duly trans
ferred by the United States to the State OF
Ohio. In the absence of any appfOprla-
ton by the General Assembly, the Cincin-
natl Branch of the United States Sanitary
Commission has generously rendered the
necessary funds for carrying on the Insti-
tuition until the Legislature shall assemble.
The Home will accordingly be opened on
Tuesday, October 18th, under the charge of
Captain Isaac Brayton, as Superintendent,
DR.. Jacob c. Denise, Resident Surgeon,
Surgeon General Barr as Consulting Sur
geon, and Mrs. E. L. Miller as Mstron;
all of whom are peculiarly qualified, by
education and experience during the war,
to perform the duties of the several posi-
tons assigned them.
1t is the design of the Trustees to make
it, in the true sense of the word, a home
for all the uncured and disabled soldiers
and sailors who shall seek admission
where all without homes and needing re-
lief shall be comfortably kept and kindly
cared for, without money and without
price" The location is pleasant and
healthy-the buildings new and comfort
able-the equipments complete. A Read
ing Room, with a large and well selected
library, and the leading reviews, maya
zines and newspapers, will be open, day
and evening, for the especial use and bene-
fit of the inmates of the Home. An
amusement hall, with bowling alleys and
other apparatus for pleasant and healthful
exercise, will be Immediately fitted up. No
military restraint, otherthan that necessary
to preserve order and proper discipline, will
be had. The design is to pay, in a small
way, the great debt which the people ow
to the brave men who have been disabled
IN the country's cause.
All uncured and disabled soldiers and
sailors, connected during the recent rebel
lion with the army and navy ofthe United
States, will be admitted on the letter of
any member of the Board Of Trustees, or
on satisfactory proof in any way, to the
Superintendent, that they are entitled to
the relief contemplated by the establish
ment of the Home.
The Home will be formally opened on
Tuesday, October 18th, but, in cases of ur-
gent necessity, a limited number will be
received before that time. Applicants for
admission can receive transportation atre-
duced rates from the several Railroads
of the State, and on application to the
Surgeon General at his office in the Capt.
tol, at Columbus, will be taken, without
charge, to the Home. NJ
Military Committees, County Military
Surgeons, and other persons, are requested
to inform all needing reliefin their several
localities of the establishment ofthe Home
and to assist those seeking admission to
reach Columbus.
