We have been solicited from several
quarters to join in an cutlery against the
Government for allowing recently enlist
ed soldiers to be mustered out of the
service, and holding veterans who have
re-enlisted to remain. We cannot see
that this is wrong. The Government
wants not many, but good men, and one
veteran is worth two recruits-for pres
ent service. And as there is little to be
done but to eat the r%ations, we trust our
soldiers who hold over will not weary
in well-doing. wait a little longer y
and all who choose will doubtless be
mustered out. The fighting is over, only
guard duty remains. Those who re-en-
listed last year, and received generous
bounties therefor, can surely stand a few
see if the fires of secession, so nobly
quenched, shall not again break out
Hold on!-N. 7. 7ri6uue.

A Houston (Texas) paper gives an ao-
count of the capture of JEFF. Davis, fur
nished by Lieut.. Elsan, of the oath Tex
as Regiment, who was with Davis when
he was captured. The account generally
confirms those already published. Lieut..
Elsan says "On the surprise, Mr.. Davis
threw a cloak over his shoulders and
started for his horse about forty steps
from his tent. As he set out, Mrs. Davis
threw a veil over his hat, He had got
but a few steps, when a eavalryman rode
up, and presenting his gun to him, cried
out, / know you, you old scourdrel 1
have seen you before surrender" ct
seems that he had lived in Richmond
since the war began.) As he stopped Mr..
Davis, Mrs. Davis said to him, and throw
ing her arms around his neck, begged
them to spare his life. Col. Pritehard,
the commander of the pursuing cavalry,
now rode up, and assured her he should
not be hurt"

eRANT's RIGHT HAND.

We see it stated in the papers, that
General Grants right hand was so badly
swollen by the time he reached Buffalo,
that he had to do his shaking with the
left. If this report is true, we know how
his right hand became disabled, and an
explanation of the cause will reveal In
other of his traits of character, which
will not fail to greatly impress the public.
During the Generals overwhelming i'm
promptu reception at the Aston House,
in this city, a tall athletic man, who came
in turn, after gripping his hand firmly,
commenced wrenching it till the elbow
turned painfully in its socket. Preceiv-
ing the Fellows object, the General, who
has himself a powerful grip, suddenly
twisted the %rufinly hand back, and look
ing for a moment steadily into its own
ers' eye, contented himself with throw
Ing it off, and with merely saying, in an
undertone, which was not heard even by
a member Of his staff. You Internal ras-
cal, [ ought to knock you down p He
then released him, and the william, glad
to be let off in this way, hurridly Slid
through the crowd. The forbearance of
General Grant, in enduring this outrage,
his bare mention of which would have
subjected the aggressor to have been torn
to pieces is Indicative of great m~agnanim-
ity and force of character Wilkes
Spirit.

Cleanse the Blood.

neridJ Diseases, LGceT Complaints, and Heart DGSeaSeS.
TRY AYERS SARSAPAHLLA. and see for yourself the sur
prising activity with which it cleanses the blood and
cures these disorders.
During late years the public has been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart OF Extract Of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar Most of these have been
frauts upon the sick, for they not only contain little,
if any Sarsapa rila, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment has followed
the use Of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself has become
Synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound, sSarsaparilla, :" and intend to supply
such a remedy as shIu rescue the name from the load
Of obloqly which rests upon it. We think we have
ground Tor believing it has virtues which are irresisti-
BILE by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure. We can only assure the sick that we offer
them the best alternative which we know how to gro
duce and we have reason to believe it is by far the
most efectuaI purifier OF the blood yet discovered by
anybody.
AYERS CHERRY PECT0RAL is so universally known to
surpass every other remedy for the cure OF Coughs,
Colds, Influenza. Hoarseness, Group, Bronchitis, Incip-
lent Consumption, and for the relief of c~onsumptve
patients in advanced stages of the disease, that it is
useless to recount the evidence of its virtues. The
world knows them.

We see frequent mention made Of the MERCHANTS,
and it is always spoken Of as a Company which, after
being satisfied that a loss is fair and square, pays at
once, without useless red tape. In this county the
is the popular Company. Its losses
hero, as at Toledo, Elyria, Lima, Wellington, and 9th
er places, have been fairly and honestly adjusted, and
promptly paid. Our farmers and business men pro
fer the honest, frank, fair policies Of the MERCHANTS
and look to them as guarantee against loss and dam
age by nre. The receipts of the "Merchants',' as
returned to our County Auditor for taxation, are
largely in excess Of those OF any other Company do
ing business at this place. Its Surplus, or Reserved
Fund, is greater IN proportion to Capital than that Of
any other HaI ford Company.
Mr.. J. s. REED, the state Agent, has been doing
business in this place, as merchant and banker, for
over twenty i've years. Parties desiring Insurance,
then, can find In the
COMPANY, of Hartford, a reliable guarantee against
loss by IRE, and II they will consider character and
reputation, as shown by its prompt payments; re-
sponsibflity, as shown by its large surplus reserved
Tor extra iosses, amounting at this time to about one
hundred per cent. upon Capital; convenience in the
settlement Of losses, in having them adjusted and
paid BY an old citizen OF known responsibility, whose
Connection with the Company, as Stats Agent, Is sun
cient guarantee Of Its respeetabilitY and responsibility,
they will effect their INSURANCE. with the
INSURANCE COMPANY, OF Hartford.
